    A FORMER professional wrestler lives with a giant alligator inside her house - and she even shares a bed with him. The 6 foot 6 inch, 200lbs reptile named Rambo not only has his own room in the house, he also watches TV on the sofa and eats dinner at the kitchen table. Mary Thorn, 57, adopted her beloved pet Rambo 13 years ago, rescuing him from imminent death. Now the 17-year-old gator freely walks inside the house, bosses the dogs around and loves to be the centre of attention. Rambo, who Mary often dresses up in leather jackets and sunglasses, is potty trained, he obeys 70 commands and poses “no threat to humans”. Mary, who resides in Lakeland, Florida, considers Rambo as a significant part of her family and says she has a special bond with the gator - who responds to her sign language.

      How is loving and kissing a dog any different? Yes he's an alligator, but that doesn't mean he's a monster. Alligators are not as dangerous/aggressive as people believe they are. Alligator attacks are rare, and because he understands that she is his caregiver, he is very unlikely to attack. Not all alligators are man eating monsters out for blood.

      @@lillianjuri2469 I'm not "insulting your intelligence". Alligators also have feelings and can actually form bonds with humans. And alligator attacks do not occur as often as you would think. Dog attacks are more common than alligator attacks.
