  4. Weather permitting, Krystian Kaulis likes to go swimming with "Mrs. Meyer." The fact that "Mrs. Meyer" is a Mississippi alligator doesn't bother either of them. REUTERS/Lisi Niesner Purchase Licensing Rights , opens new tab

  5. Most of the time "Mrs. Meyer" is just lazy. It's hard to imagine that she can move at lightning speed and, above all, snap with her 82 teeth. While dangerous to most people, she's more of a cuddle buddy for the Kaulis family. REUTERS/Lisi Niesner Purchase Licensing Rights , opens new tab

  6. "Mrs. Meyer" has been their pet for over 40 years, performing in circuses around the world until 2016. REUTERS/Lisi Niesner Purchase Licensing Rights , opens new tab

  7. At 45, the female alligator is practically in her prime. Estimates suggest that these lizards can live to around 100 years in captivity and with proper care. REUTERS/Lisi Niesner Purchase Licensing Rights , opens new tab

  8. At the tender age of two, "Mrs. Meyer" was purchased by "alligator dad" Klaus Kaulis. REUTERS/Lisi Niesner Purchase Licensing Rights , opens new tab

  9. She lives in a converted insulated container with underfloor heating and a heat lamp. REUTERS/Lisi Niesner Purchase Licensing Rights , opens new tab

  10. "Mrs. Meyer" is content with two or three chicken legs, beef heart, trout, or even a rat per meal. And that only happens about once a week. In winter, the lizard eats very rarely. REUTERS/Lisi Niesner Purchase Licensing Rights , opens new tab

  11. His son Krystian remembers. "Back then, when other children played with the teddy bear or... I was always with 'Mrs. Meyer.' 'Mrs. Meyer' was my XXL cuddle companion, my chat buddy, my buddy for homework. So, I lay next to her and did my homework." Naturally, the parents always kept a watchful eye on the odd couple.
