Korat
The Korat cat, also called the Korat or Si-Sawat, originates from the Khorat Plateau in northwest Thailand and is an ancient breed. Introduced to the US in 1959 and recognized by American cat lovers in 1965, and by Britain 10 years later. Its coat, like the Russian Blue and Chartreux, is solid blue with no shading or pattern, with a silvery sheen, and it has a unique heart-shaped face.
European Burmese
The European Burmese is an elegant cat, but not a fragile one. It has a well-proportioned build, moderate muscle, and expressive eyes. Because it is very intelligent, affectionate, and loyal, it makes an excellent pet.
Singapura、Kucinta
The Singapura originates from Singapore and is also known as the Lion City Cat. With the English names Singapura and Kucinta, it is the smallest cat breed in the world, attracting much attention from cat lovers. Its less pleasant nicknames, drain cat and sewer cat, come from its living environment: early on, the Singapura was unwelcome among locals and forced to live in drains or sewers, hence the names.
Chinese Bulbul
The Chinese Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis) is a small passerine bird of the family Pycnonotidae. Its forehead to crown is black, with white above the eyes extending to the nape, forming a white nape ring, and a white belly with yellow-green streaks. Lively, it flocks in fruit trees and sometimes sallies from a perch to catch insects. Common south of the Yangtze, it lives in hills or plains shrubbery and coniferous forests. Lively and not very afraid of people. Omnivorous, eating both animals and plants. It eats many agricultural and forestry pests and is a beneficial bird worth protecting.
Which Turtles Don’t Bite?
Generally calm turtles rarely bite — Chinese pond turtles, red-eared sliders, musk turtles, yellow-throated turtles, golden coin turtles, and West African side-neck turtles. Still, never tease them with your hands, and clean any bite wound. Turtle bites are non-venomous.
Black-banded Dwarf Cichlid
The Black-banded Dwarf Cichlid is mainly distributed at the confluence of the Rio Negro and the Amazon River in Brazil. It is a carnivorous ornamental fish with a gentle temperament and some territoriality, so care should be taken with tank mates, and plants should be added to the aquarium to give it a sense of security.
Iverson’s Turtle
Iverson's Turtle (Mauremys iversoni), also called the Fujian stone turtle, is a China-endemic turtle found only in Fujian and Guizhou. Very rare, it is listed under China's protected-wildlife category, and its taxonomic status is debated — some research suggests it may be a hybrid.
Yellow-bellied Slider
The Yellow-bellied Slider (Trachemys scripta scripta) is a common, hardy and inexpensive North American slider with a yellow belly and yellow 'ear' patches. Easy to keep but a messy, fast-eating carnivore-leaning omnivore.
Pudding Hamster
The Pudding Hamster is a popular pet variety named for its pudding-yellow coat. Gentle and easy to handle, it is heat-sensitive, territorial, and can nip — so wash your hands before handling and never co-house it. It lives 1–3 years and needs steady 20–28°C and careful, chew-safe feeding.
Guangxi stripe-necked turtle
The Guangxi stripe-necked turtle is a rare, beautifully marked freshwater turtle endemic to Guangxi, China, long suspected—though never confirmed—to be a natural hybrid. In captivity it is an active, omnivorous species that enjoys warm water and is relatively easy for keepers to maintain.
