一般人家裏的寵物多半是貓咪或狗狗,也有人喜歡養鳥、魚、蛇或烏龜,不過把200公分、46公斤的鱷魚當寵物養,絕對很少聽到吧!

今年65歲的村林信光(Nobumitsu Murabayashi),來自日本廣島吳市,與妻子同住。
34年前,31歲的村林先生在一場異國動物市集上買下一隻凱門鱷寶寶,將他取名為「凱門」,並獲得當地市政府批准於家中飼養。

村林先生表示:「我從沒想過他會變這麼大,他已經跟了我34年,我常透過刷牙跟他培養感情。」
![He is so close to his pet he spends the majority of his time with him and even brushes it's teeth everyday (pictured)](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/582007ee99b18.jpg)
但他也坦承,妻子並不像他這麼喜歡凱門,「每一天我妻子都對我感到厭煩,所以我比較常跟凱門相處。」

村林先生不只會幫凱門刷牙,也經常撫摸他、帶他上街散步,後來他們倆在當地變得小有名氣,吸引不少電視台前往採訪。

凱門除了有自己的睡寢,村林先生也幫他在前院打造了一個專屬水池。但他也表示飼養凱門不是容易事,不僅伙食費不便宜,凱門也經常破壞家裏的紙門。

根據專家統計,凱門鱷平均有50至70年的壽命,最大可以長到250公分。村林先生希望自己可以再多活30年,好照顧心愛的凱門到最後一刻。
