The Pet Crocodile That Loves a Cuddle

Hey there! Today is International Pet Day. I'm at my local pet store. I want
a new pet!

Let's see… They have dogs… cats… and birds… Hi! Oh, and they have…
crocodiles?
今天是國際寵物日，我在寵物店裡面，這裡有狗狗、貓咪、小鳥，還有... 鱷魚？

A man named Jonathan has a pet crocodile! Jonathan lives in Mexico. He went
to a pet store there. He bought a small, green, and angry crocodile! Jonathan
named her Gamora. Gamora is the angry alien in the Guardians of the Galaxy
movies!
Jonathan 住在墨西哥，他去寵物店買了一隻小小、綠綠，還很兇的鱷魚！Jonathan
叫牠 Gamora，Gamora 就是星際異攻隊裡面那個生氣的外星人。

Crocodiles can be very scary! They have the strongest bite in the world. A
crocodile bite might be stronger than a T. rex bite!
鱷魚的咬合力是世界上最強的，有可能比暴龍還強，很恐怖！

Jonathan is lucky. Gamora isn't scary. She loves cuddles. Gamora acts like a
dog! She sleeps in Jonathan's bed. She poses for photos too!
不過 Jonathan 很幸運，因為 Gamora 不恐怖，牠喜歡抱抱，就像狗狗一樣！牠還睡在
Jonathan 的床上，還會擺姿勢拍照！

Gamora swims in a pool. She has a nice, dry place too. She sunbathes there.
Gamora 可以在池子裡游泳，也可以在外面做日光浴。

Gamora eats lots of meat. Jonathan has two pet Chihuahuas too. They are
lucky. Gamora hasn't eaten them! Yet…
Gamora 吃很多肉， Jonathan 還有兩隻吉娃娃，幸好 Gamora 還沒有把他們吃掉...

Hmm… Maybe I'll get a goldfish instead!
