Wattana Thongjon, 10, lays in his bed alongside his pet crocodile “Kheng” at his home in Thailand's rural Phichit province August 28, 2002. Wattana's father Prayoon found the crocodile as a hatchling in a local pond three years ago and it has grown to over one-metre in length and weighs 40 kg (88 pounds). The croc is pampered with a diet of fresh chicken, has his sharp teeth brushed every day by Prayoon, and lives indoors with their two pet dogs. (Photo by Reuters)
