What animals should not be kept at home

Sooner or later, everyone thinks about a pet. An animal at home can become a true friend, or, on the contrary, can bring chaos and even threaten people's health. Here are a few animals that should not be kept at home.

Primates

In appearance, cute monkeys are very similar to moody little children. They are cute and funny, but it is worth remembering - these are wild creatures and they can bite at any time! There is also a great danger of infection from primates with hepatitis and even HIV.

Predatory cats

Big cats by their nature always remain predators. Getting yourself such a pet, you need to be aware - you can’t get off with the removal of claws (especially since it is dangerous for the health of a predator). Buying a lion cub or tiger cub is clearly not cheap, such animals require expensive care and special conditions. No matter how cute the cubs of the feline family may seem, nobody has managed to completely subjugate their hunting instinct.

The Bears

Despite their solid growth, most people associate bears with a stuffed toy. Their captivity is not only costly, but also dangerous. Even a young bear can easily kill a person with its paw.

Poisonous lizards

Exotic at home has always been difficult. Getting yourself a beautiful lizard from the African savannah, do not forget, they are often poisonous. And in the local hospital, in case of a bite, there is hardly a rare antidote.

Snakes

It will not be about harmless snakes, but about poisonous representatives of reptiles. Any snake is always a predator, capable of not only inflicting a fatal bite, but also serious damage to the eyes (spitting cobra) or asphyxiation (boa constrictor). If you are serious and dream of such a cold-blooded pet, it is worth remembering that he needs live food regardless of the time of year and your financial condition.

Foxes

The cute fluffy fox is not only the hero of popular fairy tales - she is a cunning predator. Oddly enough, foxes are partially amenable to training and it is quite possible to tame them. But they really do not like children and at any moment can show the features of a dangerous hunter. For the same reason, we do not recommend starting a wolf.

Raccoons

If moral peace is dear to you, do not start a raccoon. In appearance, they are cute and funny, but if you leave the raccoon alone - your apartment will begin to resemble a landfill if it suddenly comes out of an aviary or cage. The curiosity of raccoons knows no bounds, absolutely everything spoils - from things to expensive equipment.

If you haven’t decided which animal you want to start, evaluate your abilities sensibly. Perhaps it will be the best decision to pick a kitten on the street or put an aquarium.
