SPECIES KEPT AS EXOTIC PETS


Alligators , Wolves and wolf/ Dog hybrids, wild cat cubs ( Lions , Tigers , Ocelots , etc.), Snakes , Tortoises , Spiders , Scorpions and rare birds are among the species kept (sometimes illegally) as exotic pets. Some exotics are less "wild" than others; Dingos have been in relationship with humans for generations, and the Bengal Cat descends from a hybrid of wild and domestic species. Llamas and Pot-bellied Pig s, though still present in the wild, have been raised in captivity for centuries and are usually quite tame.
