Total shock!  A British family lives with 81 exotic animals in the house.  Children play and sleep with pythons in their rooms.  Scott Gavin's family also has tarantulas, meerkats and even an albino skunk.

Scott Gavin, 35, and his wife, Leanne, 34, of the United Kingdom, are passionate about exotic animals.  They hold three Burmese pythons, up to 3.6 meters long, free through the house.  The reptiles sleep in their children's rooms, David, 13, Robert, 12, Chloe, 11, Ellie-Mai, 8, Megan, one year and nine months, and Emily, 3.

They're not afraid it could hurt them.  That's why he lets the children play with snakes at will.  From time to time, I also bring tarantulas, meerkats and a crocodile chick into the house.  Other animals of the family are guinea pigs, rabbits, ducks, hedgehogs, beetles, lizards and other species of snakes, which are housed in outdoor cages.  In total, the Gavin family owns 15 snakes.

All animals are brought to the children's home.  The most loved by the little ones is the skunk Rosie.  For the maintenance of the animals, the Gavin spouses end up spending 400 pounds per month.

  Burmese pythons are some of the largest snakes in the world, reaching 9 meters in length and weighing 90 kilograms.  They can swallow a deer too.  They are poisonous, but they strangle even man.  They have a life expectancy of 25-30 years.  

Tarantulas are a family of spiders that includes 900 species, most of which are harmless to humans, with sizes between 2.5 - 10 cm to 8 - 30 cm and life expectancy between 15-25 years.  

Meerkats are small mammals native to Africa.  They have lengths of 25-35 centimeters, weights of up to 730 grams and a lifespan of 12-14 years. 

 The skunk is a mammal of about 42 centimeters, 1.9 kilograms, which lives between 5 and 8 years.  It is a friendly animal, but it smells bad because of a gland.

From 10 to 30 percent of married men in Russia do not raise their children and do not know about it. The moment of truth becomes tragic for them, because subconsciously the representatives of the stronger sex perceive the child they are raising as their heir.

Sometimes the fair sex choose a person for their couple who does not greatly admire them, but is calm, reliable and family man. At the same time, women, like other females in nature, tend to look for the most worthy contender for the role of the genetic father of the unborn child. For this reason, they are subconsciously attracted to alpha males - men who have high testosterone levels, are popular with girls, but not the fact that they will become exemplary fathers. Clinical psychologist and sexologist Valentin Denisov-Melnikov spoke about this in a conversation with NEWS.ru.

Some women decide to live with an exemplary family man, and on the side to date men who are especially attractive to her. Such intrigues sometimes end in pregnancy from a lover. The girl says to her husband that he will soon become a "dad".

Moreover, a woman can convince herself that the father of a child is a spouse. Sometimes girls even forget that they entered into intimacy with someone else - this event is forced out of consciousness into subconsciousness. The same thing sometimes happens with traumatic experiences. So a woman feels more psychologically comfortable - she now needs to raise this child with her husband.

In addition, a woman can deliberately have offspring from a lover. This usually happens in families where she is unable to get pregnant from her spouse. In this case, the fair sex reassures themselves that they cheated on her husband out of good intentions - in order to save the family, the psychologist explained.

Meanwhile, the desire to find a young lover can also push a woman to commit adultery. In adulthood, some girls are attracted by the infantility, spontaneity, spontaneity and childlike energy that younger partners have, said psychologist, expert on relationships between men and women Alisa Metelina in a conversation with NEWS.ru.

Attraction to young men is also usually experienced by the fair sex with high testosterone levels and strong libido. Often among these women there are careerists.

The cost of cheating

Conducting a paternity test for men is usually prompted by problems in the relationship with the wife or the assumptions of others that the spouse has "walked up" the child on the side. This question becomes quite acute for the representatives of the stronger sex: raising a child, a man invests his resources in him - time, money and love - and unconsciously perceives it as an heir, Denisov-Melnikov noted.

Men who find out that they are raising other people's children face great emotional shock. At this moment, they also realize that their beloved spouse has been deceiving them for a long time. It is especially difficult for those "fathers" who are raising a boy.

Men, in principle, relate better to female children. It is usually easier for them to bring up someone else's girl than a boy. However, you need to understand that in any case, it will be a great shock for a person to find out that he did not raise his child, - said Denisov-Melnikov.

Whether a man leaves his spouse after revealing a secret depends on the characteristics of his character, whether he sees his life with another woman. Some accept the situation and forgive their wife. Nevertheless, in any case, the event becomes a great test for the marriage.

The proportion of families in which men are raising someone else's child varies by region. It can be higher in cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg: freer morals prevail in them than in small towns and villages, the clinical psychologist concluded.

Tens of thousands of families in Ukraine are simultaneously experiencing the drama of war and partition, after Kiev authorities enacted martial law and banned men who could defend their country from crossing borders. They remained to face the enemy, but they sent their families across the border, with tears in their eyes and broken hearts. In Romania and Moldova, thousands of women have been crossing the border for almost 24 hours, alone or in groups, accompanied by elderly parents or babies and children.

 

The drama of a Ukrainian who embraces his daughter only a few years old, whom he sends away from the war with only his mother, has been repeated in Ukraine hundreds and thousands of times. Adult men capable of fighting can no longer leave the country after the president introduced martial law.

 

Nazar is 13 years old. His mother fled Ukraine alone with him and his younger sister. The father remained in the country. Here is a conversation between him and a reporter.

 

 

Reporter: What did he tell you before you left?

Nazar, Ukrainian refugee: He told me everything would be fine. And to send him pictures.

 

Nazar spoke with a knot in his throat about the separation of the family.

 

Reporter: What is your father doing now?

Nazar: He's a medical technician, but now he's helping the military if they're injured.

Reporter: Was he in the Army before?

Nazar: No, he wasn't in the military before.

 

He hopes to stay with his mother and sister in Poland, where they will stay with a family of friends, only temporarily.

 

Reporter: What would you have done instead of your father?

Nazar: I think I would have done the same.

Reporter: Would you have fought?

Nazar: Yes!

 

A young Ukrainian woman took her two-year-old daughter and came on foot to Moldova. She managed to get in on Thursday night. This morning, people with dramatic stories continued to cross the border. A woman left Ukraine with only her one-year-old daughter and mother. They crossed the border on foot. My brother and father stayed in the country. With tears in his eyes, he tells how he lived his last night in his homeland.

 

 

Reporter: Are you afraid for them?

Woman from Ukraine: Yes, sure! I was scared, there were bombings near us last night. I was scared.

 

Hundreds of women alone or accompanied only by children, many brought in arms, in carts or on foot, if they are older than a few years, have crossed the border into Romania and Moldova.

 

 

Reporter: Are you alone?

Woman from Ukraine: My father went to fight for the country. My son is in Europe, in Germany. I'm alone now.

Reporter: Was it hard to leave your husband there?

Woman from Ukraine: Yes, very difficult.

Reporter: You have tears in your eyes.

Woman from Ukraine: Yes, I'm crying. I hope everything will be fine. We ask you to help us, to pray for Ukraine.
