We were recently surfing the interwebs like the millennials that we are when we came across something magical, something that our eyes couldn’t believe. Apparently, there’s a family in Russia that has been raising a bear for over 23 years now. Yes, a bear as in Leonardo DiCaprio’s favorite animal. Its human best friends play with it, eat with it and even watch TV with it. We hear that they, umm, also give it literal bear hugs whenever the occasion calls for it. Envious? Us too!
As it turns out, though, bears aren’t the only unconventional pet option available to man. ‘Tell us more you,’ must be thinking. Well, we thought you’d never ask! Here are 10 of the most outrageous, yet safe, pets that one could have:
1- Southern Tamandua:
They’re furry and they eat ants. Enough said!
2- Hedgehog:
Dem spines doe…
3- Wallaby:
Eye-contact level 100!
4- Kinkajou:
A raccoon look-alike with a monkey’s spirit that sleeps all morning and goes wild at night. Life goals, right?
5- Llama:
Do you even llama bro?
6- Eastern Bearded Dragon:
The ass is bad. Bad ass!
7- Hyacinth Macaw:
A bird that cuddles. Repeat, a bird that cuddles.
8- Burmese Python:
A gliding conversation starter always comes in handy.
9- Turtles:
Coming out of a shell never feels more natural than when a turtle is around…
10- Miniature Donkeys:
The ultimate “ride or die” companion. Well, not really, but you get our point.
