Fox
In modern society, you should not be too surprised at whatever people keep as pets. Ordinary cats and dogs no longer satisfy some people, so they choose more niche animals—the fox among them. Foxes are canids, so they can also contract canine distemper.
Chameleon
Even if you have never kept a chameleon, you have surely heard that it can change color. Chameleons change color mainly for self-defense, but what physiological traits cause this? And did you know a chameleon's color can also reflect its mood?
Huangshan Squirrel

Yellow-bibbed Lory
In many places few people keep the Yellow-bibbed Lory, but in the Solomon Islands it is a different story: this is the wild habitat of the Yellow-bibbed Lory, and many locals keep them as pets. Visually the Yellow-bibbed Lory is striking, showing red, yellow, green, and other colors, so many are attracted at first sight. Moreover, the Yellow-bibbed Lory is a strong mimic, whistling is easy for it, yet although it whistles often it never seems noisy.
Rhesus Macaque
The Rhesus Macaque (Macaca mulatta), also called the yellow monkey, rhesus monkey, or Guangxi monkey, is a primate physiologically very close to humans and easy to domesticate and breed. However, because many monkeys are now protected species, keeping a rhesus macaque as a pet has become a major challenge.
Slow Loris
The Slow Loris (Loris tardigradus) is a small prosimian of the family Lorisidae and genus Loris. It is nocturnal, moves slowly, and prefers to rest atop tree branches. In recent years, due to habitat destruction, hunting for use in traditional medicine, overhunting, and its own biological traits, it is on the brink of extinction.
Blue-headed Macaw
The Blue-headed Macaw is the most expensive of the small parrots, mainly because of its scarcity, low popularity, and obscurity—truly a case of rarity commanding a premium. In captivity it is easily tamed and quite robust, adapts well, and like other macaws loves to chew and is destructive, so regular bathing keeps its plumage healthy. It suits a fairly roomy, flight-capable aviary.
Green-cheeked Conure
The Green-cheeked Conure (Pyrrhura molinae), also called the green-cheeked parakeet, is a typical climbing bird with richly colored plumage. It is mainly distributed in the highlands of eastern Bolivia.
