You know, we are never surprised anymore by how oblivious some people can be. We understand finding a kitten on the side of the road and not realizing that it is a baby bobcat, or even finding a puppy only to have it grow up to be a giant wolf. Those can be easily mistaken, especially when they're so young. But now, we've seen it all, as one kindhearted person rescued a baby "lizard" all alone and stranded, and raised it out of the kindness of their hooman hearts.

Well, as this "lizard" kept getting bigger and bigger, they realized that she might not be a lizard at all! We thought this was obvious all along, but you know what they say about love - it's blind. Turns out this lizard is actually a colossal croc! Well, as long as they're all happy and no one becomes dinner at the end of the story, we say let them live their lives. Scroll to see this wholesome rescue story below, even if it is scaly and full of teeth, it's still adorable.

    I accidentally raised a crocodile

    A crocodile looks like a crocodile from the time it's a baby. We're not really buying the whole "accident" part of the story, but it's wholesome and heartwarming regardless. Reptiles deserve love, too!

    When we look at it like that, it does seem pretty cute. So small and harmless, we would happily let it curl up on our chest and have a nice nap. If only it could stay this small forever!
