Friends called her weird or sick—how a crocodile trainer turned passion into a paycheck

Unexpected: Meet the Croc‑Trainer Who Lives on the Edge

When you spot a crocodile, the first reaction? You barely form a sentence, then sprint. But for Sashimi, the crocodile is her partner in crime.

The Habit That Turned Into a Hustle

  • Started as a hobby: spamming a reptile blog, getting hooked.
  • Progressed: moved from “one‑off interest” to “day‑to‑day business.”
  • Now runs a full‑time crocodile training gig in Taiwan.

Hurdles, Hat‑Checks, and the Stigma Game

Not all eyes are smiling when Sashimi meets the public. “I get a lot of flak,” she says, but she keeps her chin high because she’s on a mission: “to change how people feel about crocodiles.”

Imagine trying to shake off the furry image of a swamp monster while feeding it a sirloin steak. That’s Sashimi’s everyday reality.

Why It’s Worth the Scrape

  • Unlikely career path that opens new perspectives.
  • She’s rewriting the narrative one croc at a time.
  • Humor, heart, and a dash of reptilian wisdom keep the audience giggling.
