A Japanese man has taken a different route in owning a pet -by adopting a giant 6ft 8in, 46kg caiman (a type of alligator). Nobumitsu Murabayashi, 65, is regularly seen strolling down the roads of Kure City in Hiroshima, Japan with his unlikely pet.
The gentle giant lives with Mr Murabayashi and his wife where he roams freely in their home.
