Exotic Pets: Best and Worst Part 1

이상하고 독특한 동물을 키우고 훈련하는 것은 항상 즐겁게 들립니다. 어린 시절의 어느 시점에서 모든 사람들이 늑대 강아지를 키우거나, 얼룩말을 타거나, 자신의 집을 보호하기 위해 파이썬을 훈련하는 것이 재미있을 거라고 생각합니다. 아니? 나만? 글쎄, 나는 과도한 상상력이 있었다. 어쨌든, 어른으로서, 나는이 논리의 어리 석음을 깨닫게되었습니다. 사소한 동물을 훈련시키는 사소한 일조차도 도전이 될 수 있습니다. 침팬지가 화장실 주위에서 길을 배우기 위해서는 어떻게해야할까요? 그렇습니다. 큰 영장류와 그 머리에 붙어서 사지를 찢고 죽음에 이르는 것들이 최고의 동물 동반자가 될 수는 없습니다. 그러나 모든 이국적인 애완 동물이 위험한 동물은 아닙니다. 오늘의 게시물은 가사를 고려할 수도있는 가장 좋고 가장 드문 드문 동물 목록입니다.

Dangerous or Difficult Pet Choices

1. Big cats- While you might think owning an ocelot is pretty cool-- and you’re right, it totally is—the fact remains that large felines look at you as a meal that provides other meals. When it comes to exotic pets, it’s best to avoid anything that can crush you with its jaws or cut your arteries into ribbons with their claws. Try not to look at Mike Tyson as a role model, and stick with your garden variety house kitties.
 
2. Large/poisonous snakes- Pythons are surprisingly popular pets. And they are interesting looking reptiles. They’re great conversation starters, and they hardly ever eat anyone you care about. Unfortunately, most of them do grow to at least 10 feet long. Which is more than enough space to fit you in their bellies. Consequently, when they get that big a lot of pet owners decide to dispose of them. Which is why they are currently battling out with alligators to see who will be the apex predator of the Florida Everglades. Cue low budget sci-fi movie franchise. 3.Wolf dogs-So in case you weren’t aware, Wolf dogs are dog/wolf hybrids, like White Fang or Balto. These noble Jack London character canines are truly beautiful, and truly terrifying. They are responsible for more deaths and injuries than any other breed except pit bull terriers and Rottweilers, both of whom are about 10 times as populous. They’re big, strong, vicious, difficult to train, and extremely independent and fierce. Not exactly a winning combination when it comes to families with children.
 
4.Scorpions- What kind of games are we playing here? You want a poisonous arachnid that looks like it was built for death as a pet? Have fun with that. Of course, not all breeds of scorpion can kill you, but every single one can ruin your day with a sting. This is the least dangerous on our list, but still plenty trouble for an underprepared pet owner.

5.Primates-So Chimpanzees get to be about 150 lbs when full grown. However, they probably have the strength of a 500 lb man. Also they like to attack the face, fingers, and genitals of anything that they feel is a threat. And don’t get me started on the hygiene issues. Oy vey. Smaller primates aren’t as dangerous, but are just as much trouble. They’re thieving, mischievous, and dirty. So if you want to keep your kitchen (and face) free of feces, I’d recommend getting a ferret.
 
As you can tell, there are plenty of difficult and dangerous animals in the exotic pet arena. However there are some completely appropriate choices as well. Check back next week for an exploration on the safer side of exotic pets.
