外號沙西米的韻珈,是臺灣少見的鱷魚訓練師,跟許多女生一樣擁有自己心愛的寵物,夏天可以和寵物一起玩水,冬天可以在被窩裡相擁暖被。只是,別人懷裡抱著的多半是小貓小狗,與韻珈一同戲水的是鱷魚,一同入睡的是土撥鼠。

我家是個侏羅紀公園

在這個家,動物的數量比人類更多。一樓有鱷魚自在逛大街,二樓有土撥鼠拆家大隊在翻肚賣萌,三樓還有正在泡水,超過兩公尺長的澤巨蜥,家裡有超過50隻的動物出沒,蔚為奇觀。



女兒跟動物把家裡搞到天翻地覆

一年前,韻珈還與爸媽同住時,所有動物都擠在房間,一下是澤巨蜥跑到廚房偷蛋吃,另一頭,鱷魚爬到哥哥房間當路霸,還有土撥鼠徹夜拆房子做窩,家人傷透腦筋,比起家中的鱷勢力,他們的主人韻珈,更像家中的惡勢力。


爬蟲類進駐,改變全家人的生活。

韻珈國中時期是問題少女,時常飆車夜遊到三更半夜,傷透爸媽的心,直到高中養起球蟒、鱷魚、綠鬣蜥,她的生活慢慢產生轉變,從飆車少女變宅女。



自學訓練鱷魚,試圖為爬蟲類洗刷污名。

飼養鱷魚九年來,有感多數人深植刻板印象,三年前開起動物體驗課,讓小朋友正確認識鱷魚及其他爬蟲類,韻珈每到月底就當月光族,疫情期間還得申請紓困貸款,她該怎麼辦呢?




她的夢想是建立台灣的爬蟲收留中心,有機會實現嗎?韻珈因為這些動物無法讓人接手照顧,連短期旅遊都成問題,媽媽瑞櫻認為她還年輕,希望她能多看看外面的世界,媽媽的建議,能被女兒接受嗎?




Introduction

With seven crocodiles, not to mention groundhogs, lizards, turtles, snakes, frogs, a dog, and a chicken, 27-year-old Sashimi has built a veritable menagerie. After a rebellious adolescence in which she caused hell at home and at school, a serendipitous encounter with a crocodile changed her life trajectory. Today, Sashimi is a crocodile trainer and reptile expert trying to topple the negative stereotype of crocodiles through her hands-on workshops. She dreams of opening a reptile shelter, but with 20 stitches to date from crocodile injuries, what do her parents think? With all shapes and sizes of reptiles scurrying and slithering around the house, what surprises await anyone using the loo or opening the refrigerator? Sashimi has set her heart and mind on changing public misconceptions about crocodiles, so how did she feel after one of her crocodiles recently went walkabout and made the news in sensational fashion?
