Ten Exotic Animals You Can Legally own.

Many of us own pets, and for the typical family or person, they range from dogs and cats, birds,
hamsters, and for some lizards. Pets can be an amazing part of the family, providing love,
comfort and laughs every day. However some people have a taste for the exotic and costly,
desiring pets that are harder to obtain, yet fall within legal grounds (In certain states and
countries.)
Todays video is just a few examples of exotic animals you might be able to get your hands on if
you have enough cash and the right conditions to care for them! From the creature who inspired
a multi million dollar video game franchise to the largest rodent in the world, here are ten exotic
animals you can legally own. Also, if you happen to own any of the animals listed in today's
video, tell us about it in the comments! We'd love to hear your experiences with them!
With all the said and done, lets begin shall we?
#10: The Kinkajou.
Native to the rainforests of Central and South America, the Kinkajou is an adorable little tyke
that resembles a monkey in certain ways, but is actually closer to raccoons for its family. They
can be a perfect pet for anyone who wants a sociable loving pet, and while they dont seem to
be banned anywhere in particular, you will need a special permit to house one.. Kinkajous are a
bit more high maintenance than some of our future entries, requiring a large dedicated
enclosure that should be filled with branches and ledges for them to jump to and hang on.
Wooden ladders and rope swings are also loved by the energetic little creature. Its suggested
you spay or neuter your Kinkajou in order to prevent hormonal related issues that can lead to
disease, as well as trimming their very sharp nails regularly. A kinkajou will cost you anywhere
in the area of 1500 to 3000 dollar, and can live up to 23 years if taken care of properly.
#9: The Hyacinth Macaw.
Sporting a brilliant blue coloration over its feathers and a cool yellow circle around its eyes, the
Hyacinth Macaw is a bird you can not only admire, but own yourself. This bird is native to
Central and Easten South America, and is listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN list.
Despite its status, you are well within your legal rights to own one of these beautiful birds in
most states...Provided you OBTAINED it legally. You will need proper documentation to prove
that you got your pet legally, or else you could face heavy fines and jail time. Purchasing a
Macaw can be just as costly as the fines though, as they cost upwards of 10’000 dollars. It is
encouraged to start their training young, as if they dont have the proper discipline they can end
up becoming unruly, and possibly hurting you or someone with their talons and very powerful
(And sharp) Beak.
#8: The Chinchilla.

Looking more like an off shoot of the common bunny rabbit, the Chinchilla is an adorable
addition to anyones home. Native to the Andes in South America, the chinchilla you’re able to
get as a pet today are actually descendants of the short tailed chinchilla, which was sadly
hunted to extinction. Modern domestic Chinchillas have thinner bodies as well as longer tails
and larger ears. While this cute little rodent is a very popular pet amongst exotic owners, they
can be a lot of work. Chinchillas require constant dental care, as like with rats their teeth will
continually grow throughout their life, requiring them to constantly gnaw. Despite the care
needed to maintain its health, the Chinchilla is a very worthwhile pet as long as they have a
temperature controlled room and a good space to run around and play. Chinchillas are legal to
own in most states as long as it was not caught in the wild, and obtained legally at a price
ranging from 150-350 dollars.
#7: The Bearded Dragon.
Coming from Australia, the Bearded dragon is actually one of the more common exotic pets
amongst pet enthusiasts. While they may be less exotic, it does not make them any less cool as
a pet! The Bearded dragon has a life span of 10 to 12 years and prefers a solitary life style,
otherwise same genders would fight. Adults can reach a length of 24 inches, and have a diet
consisting mainly of insects. Bearded dragons are calm animals, making them very good pets
for children...Just make sure the kids wash their hands after playing with them. The lizard can
still get pretty gross. Bearded dragons are legal to own in most states, and have a general cost
of 250 to 400 dollars.
