If you could have any exotic animal ( and not have it kill you) as a pet what would you want

[Tharwen]

I'd love a load of Caracals, since they are the coolest animals I know of.

That or a chameleon. I've always wanted a chameleon.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

An orangutan. Perfect help in the lab, kitchen, or around the house, with a bit of training.

 

[Eagle Est1986]

Cheetah, definitely a cheetah. The easiest of the big cats to tame and cute as hell.
Alternately an Ocelot or an Indian Elephant.

 

[Oh That Dude]

A velociraptor, a jaguar, a chimp or a dolphin. One of them.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

A Liger.

Basically, you get a male lion and a female tiger (not the other way around, then you get the marginally less cool Tiglon), and then you get a Liger, which is fucking huge.

[Dr. Awesome Face]

Only the most exotic animal of all.....plankton of course.

No, this is not shopp'd. Maned wolves are seriously deer-foxes! And they're freakin' adorable.

or maybe one of these things. Good conversation starter

 

[Sonicron]

Hurm. ... ... Aha! I know.

Spoiler: Imagine the possibilities.

-EDIT-

Failing the first one, I'd go with this instead.

Spoiler: I'd call him Schnuffel.

 

[^=ash=^]

Spoiler: giraffe.

 

[Eisenfaust]

A platypus. Its part duck and part beaver, what more could a guy want.

and it comes armed with poison spurs for all those pesky enemies!

personally i'd probably go with a cassowary... fast, armoured, ninja-kicking, disembowling birds! hoorah!

 

[Malyc]

Insert Dane Cook monkey skit here...

 

[FolkLikePanda]

I would want a big Giant Panda that would give a hug everyday.

 

[GnomeThief]

A dragon!

Or, failing that, I like kiwis too.

Or maybe a gentoo penguin. Any one of those adorable flightless birds.

[II2]

Octopus!

 

[Valksy]

<------ One of those



Or a red panda.

Or a big cat of some sort.

 

[Da Joz]

penguin

 

[Slaanax]

Brown Bear

 

[TehCookie]

Either a

Spoiler: black panther

or a

Spoiler: cougar

I'm a cat person.

 

[GodofDisaster]

If I'm allowed extinct animals, then I would like a Saber tooth tiger. (Smilodon)

Definitely my favourite animal of the Ice age. Although wasn't it the tigers long fangs that played a part in their extinction.(Someone correct me if I'm wrong.)

I'll name the saber tooth tiger, fangs.

However If it has to be an animal that's alive, then I want a lion, who I will name Leo. Yeah I'm not very creative when it comes to names.

 

[SpaceCop]

Originality be damned; tigers are fantastic.

Penguins come close second.
