If you could keep one exotic animal?

[Streller]

If you could keep one exotic/not usually kept animal as a casual pet that you'd be as comfortable around as a pet you own now (such as a dog/cat) what would you keep and why?

I'd keep an Inland Taipan, the most venomous snake on the planet. It'd be cool to just say I own one and it would be a good guard pet.

a tiger, or a lion, or cheetah or a leopard... okay, pretty much every big cat?

a eagle or hawk would be sweet too...

a wolf or a fox would be fun as well...

A Fennec Fox

1. Mass: 1.5 – 3.5 lbs (Adult)
2. Height: 8 in. (Adult)

These perky large-eared animals are originally from Northern Africa, and have a lifespan of 10-16 years. Fennec Foxes are one of the most popular exotic animals due to their unique characteristics, and they are currently being bred commercially as an exotic house pet. Fennec Foxes are frequently described as a mix between a dog and a cat. For example, they are technically related to dogs, but they have the temperament of a cat, as they sleep most of the day and can be litter boxed trained. Fennec Foxes are huge hunters, mainly at night, and use their large ears to listen for prey. They are the most social of all foxes, and have a very fast high-pitched yelp.
