HIROSHIMA, Japan In Japan, you will see lots of cute things. In fact, there is a Japanese word for it– Kawaii means a culture of cuteness.
Cute things in stores.
And walking the streets.
All very cute!
But, near the city of Hiroshima there is a man with a different idea of what s cute. It s looking for the shade. It s cooler inside, said Nobumitsu Murabayashi.
His idea of cute is peering out of the family room. It s kind of funny because people will say, he s so cute and sweet while others say that s a dangerous animal. Keep him away. He s not a danger to anyone, said Murabayashi.

Japanese Family Has Been Sharing Their Home With 7-Foot-Long Crocodile for 39 Years
Some people wouldn’t get anywhere near an adult crocodile for all the money in the world, but one Japanese family in Kure City, Hiroshima, has been living with one for almost four decades.
Nobumitsu Murabayashi bought “Caiman-san”, his pet crocodile, from a pet store, after his young son begged him to. He never thought he’d become part of the family, and still be with them nearly 40 years later. Today, the domesticated crocodile measures just under 7 feet long (6feet 8inches) weighs around 45 kilograms, but he’s a gentle giant, as Nobumitsu says he would never hurt anyone. Caiman-san lives in the family home, but also goes on walks with his master and is tame enough to let young children touch and even ride him.
