The Animal Welfare Institute has published a report on incidents involving animals in captivity and has provided some interesting information to base the list on. There are stories like this in newspapers around the world about dangerous and exotic pet keeping practices.
10. Turtles
A turtle may look harmless enough, but did you know that they actually carry salmonella? The main concern seems to be the baby turtles. It's not that younger kids have more salmonella, it's that the younger they are, the younger kids are more susceptible to them. And we all know how small children can be; after touching turtles and tortoises, they will stick almost anything in their mouths, including their fingers.
9. Constrictors
This is almost obvious. In the pet store, the red-tailed boa looks harmless and cute. But they grow quite fast; can reach several feet in length and, speaking from neighborhood experience, have been known to run away. Let's say if you feed them a rabbit, they will have no problem being around a dog or a cat. One of the main concerns with owning constrictors is that when they start to grow, some people simply release them and release them back into the wild. Watch out for Fido!
8. Scorpions
Did you know there's a performer and world record-chasing guy who actually puts live Scorpions in his mouth? Not one of the best ideas I've ever heard, if you ask me. When I lived in the southern US, seeing the little ones was enough for me. These little guys can pack quite a punch with their venomous sting!
7. Camels
Camels are known to be very temperamental children. A local TV news crew was filming exotic animal farms when an 1,800-lb camel named Polo decided he wasn't doing his best, Fox News reported. When Polo got angry, he attacked his owner, kicked him and sat on him. oh Oh, and if you didn't know, camels love to spit too. And it's pretty gross.
6. Ostrich
Sure, they look cute and awkward. They hide their heads in the ground. But apparently these guys will chase you too, and run pretty fast. Being in the middle of a crowd of ostriches doesn't sound like my idea of a really good time.
5. Chimpanzees and monkeys
They are charming. The human resemblance is amazing. They are also known to bite and attack both humans and animals. In the process, the dog also lost an ear and an eye. Sometimes sweetness is quite deceiving.
4. Poisonous snakes
Again, I return to my comments about scorpions. They are snakes. They are poisonous. They bite. Neither of these is a good combination. A man in Cincinnati was bitten by a rhinoceros viper, one of the deadliest snakes in the world. He fought the poison and survived. But who really wants to take that risk?
3. Crocodiles and Alligators
Most of the time people buy crocodiles and alligators when they are small and cute and look like happy little lizards. Have you ever seen a chin on those things? If there wasn't some kind of risk and danger involved, they wouldn't have created an entire TV show to hunt them down. So keeping it in a backyard kiddie pool might not be the best idea. Ask anyone who has ever lived in Florida and found one under their car.
2. Big Cats
Still, it's these sweets you need to worry about. Who could resist when these guys were babies? But no matter how young they are, no matter how well trained they are, they can expose you in a second. For God's sake they feed them raw steak, isn't that a sign?
1. Kinkajou
Well, I had no idea what a Kinkajou was. But when I looked at her, I couldn't resist her cute little furry bodies and big doe eyes. A kinkajou, also known as a sugar bear, looks like a cross between a squirrel, a hamster and a chinchilla. They are quite cute. But they are still sweet ones. In 2005, he took her shopping with her and was attacked by the object, which stuck to her face. And that's why this guy is number one on my list of dangerous pets... C'mon, the cute rainforest animal that has repeatedly attacked Paris Hilton. You should put it at the top of the list because.
