"Shedden's first wife had left him because he was spending too much time with the crocodile."
And maybe the crocodile viewed her as food.

I've never seen any study or evidence that shows reptiles from the wild form attachments that go beyond or overcome their natural instincts. I have seen studies that show that a man who prefers the company of an animal to that of a person is either in a really bad marriage or just plain nuts.

I caught a young painted turtle when I was a kid (wish my parents had advised me to put it back, but that's another story). It very quickly began to take food from my fingers, and liked having its head stroked.

My husband's ex-sister-in-law is a person who gets along better with animals, to be specific birds, than people. She had all these birds that she had rescued living in her house like pets. Crazy things like a woodpecker and a crow and maybe some sparrows, I can't remember what all now. I definitely remember that she had a woodpecker because that seemed like a crazy pet to have loose in the house. Meanwhile she was a class-A bitch to people.

I used to hear that country singer Hank Snow was like this. I guess it's too hard to be nice to both.
