The 29-year-old has sparked controversy on social media by revealing he has a pet crocodile. The boy and his pet named Gamora live in Mexico. This was reported by the Clarín newspaper.
According to the publications of the man, the female crocodile freely walks around the house and even sleeps next to him. “She spends her time lying in armchairs on my bed,” he comments.
The animal was named Gamora after a character from the Marvel movie Guardians of the Galaxy. In the film, Gamora is a small, green and aggressive woman, just like her “pet”.

In an interview with the Clarín website, the young man said that the reptile can climb the stairs of the house, and also walks on the lake, which he created for Gamora’s comfort. “She is free to roam the house whenever she pleases and spends time lying on couches, in my bed, in and out of the lake as she pleases,” he said.
Biologists warn that the animal cannot be brought up like this, as it is aggressive. However, the boy says that “there are very few cases where crocodiles adapt to captivity as well as she does.”
Gamora has a diet based on rabbit, mice, beef, chicken, and shellfish. In addition to the crocodile, the man said that he had two dogs and turtles. “While it may not seem like it, she is somewhat of an attention-loving reptile, and the fact that my girlfriend also has pet reptiles helped a lot.”
