Pets are cute, beautiful and
Pets are cute, beautiful and adorable. It is so refreshing to come home to a furry ball of love after a long and tiring day. It makes you forget all your worries. Now imagine coming home to a 15 foot python or a freshwater crocodile! Creepy as it may sound, these are real stories of real people with somewhat unusual pets!
1
Nicknamed 'croc lady' in Melbourne, Lowing, has owned crocodiles for more than 30 years. She claims they have all been totally domesticated and that she can even communicate with them telepathically.
Lowing said she first became fascinated with the animals after watching a film in the 1960s, and she has never looked back.
Amazingly, despite her pet croc ‘Johnie’ nipping her a decade ago while ill, the 57-year-old nurse has never sustained any injuries.
She admits neighbors keep their distance when she has taken her pets for walks but on the plus side she has never had problems with burglars.

Weighing in at a whopping 120 kg, Timba is not your average pet cat. This white lion was adopted by Annel Snyman when he was just a tiny cub.
The 31-year-old, from the Waterberg region of South Africa, welcomed him into her home last year in the spring, and now shares nearly everything with her unconventional pet.
Annel, who also runs a guest house, has hand reared dozens of animals including several kittens, a cheetah cub, five lions, a white lion and a leopard in her spare time.
The animal-lover admitted some people struggled to adjust to her startling choice of pet.
Relationships used to be a challenge to Annel as there was often some jealousy issues about who was going to snuggle up with who on the couch.
As a cub Timba could often be found snoozing in Annel's bed but having outgrown the bedroom the friendly feline still tries to cuddle up with Annel on the sofa.

Forget the crazy cat lady — this guy keeps six tigers, two lions and a leopard in his very own backyard!
Florida resident Carl Bovard is the feline fanatic who dances with death each time he enjoys some innocent playtime with his massive pet predators.
When an accident 13 years ago caused Bovard to briefly lose his eyesight, he realized that he would most miss seeing animals. It wasn’t until his vision returned that he finally purchased his very first set of tiger cubs.
But keeping the big cats at home hasn’t been the safest of hobbies for Bovard. He has had a leopard bite him on his nose which had to be sewed back together.

Big cat Jolie is named after film star Angelina, and the cheetah is certainly used to the A-list treatment at Magda and Japie Pienaar's family home, where it can often be found eating from the kitchen table, snoozing on the sofa, or even curled up on the couple's bed.
The big cat also eats, sleeps and plays with the Pienaars' other, rather more conventional pet; a German Shepherd called Franky.
Magda Pienaar said that, while she was initially reluctant to get a cheetah as a pet, 'diva' Jolie is now a part of the family.

After Aryas Borges rescued two abused tigers from a circus in 2005, he got very close to his new pets. He started an improvised exotic animal sanctuary at his home in Maringa, Brazil, where he now owns seven tigers, two lions and one pet chihuahua named Little. Everyone -- tigers included -- hangs out in the same house. Aryas and his three daughters consider their compound a safe and loving environment for the tigers.
The family is under extreme scrutiny and faces legal battles as animal rights activists fight to confiscate Aryas' caretaker's license and the right to breed tigers.
There is no doubt that the Borges family's unorthodox practice of keeping exotic pets is controversial, but at least no one has been hurt... yet.

Cambodian boy, Uorn Sambath, has made an unlikely friend with a 220-pound python snake. The snake, named Chamroeun, which means “progress” crawled into their lives as a baby snake several years ago, when Uorn was only three months old.
According to his parents, Uorn used to sleep together with the snake in his cradle, and learned to crawl with him. Their bizarre bond has turned the pair into a tourist attraction in their remote village. The python only eats chicken, about 22 pounds per week, which has become quite a financial strain to the family.
So here are some pictures of more such adventurous people having unusual pets!
