Picture 3-84
Murabayashi got the caiman, which he creatively named Caiman, from a pet shop 23 years ago. Caiman was once small enough for Murabayashi's daughter to carry, but has since grown to a length of 2 meters.

Caiman is used to living with humans and does not bite or attack them. Murabayashi's daughter seems totally okay with sitting next to Caiman while holding her baby.
