Top 10 CRAZIEST Pets People Actually Own!

people spend billions every year on pets and pet accessories but needless to say a major part of that industry is dominated by dog and cat owners but not everyone is satisfied with your run-of-the-mill house pets in fact some people choose to share their homes with some absolutely crazy animals today we're going to be taking a look at some of those crazy animals as they are people who actually own many of these pets with all that said and done let's begin shall we number 10 the Fox juniper is known as the happiest Fox in the world and it's no wonder why juniper is a viral sensation who has amassed nearly 3 million followers on Instagram Jessica Coker of Florida got juniper around 2016 and pretty soon she realized that she had to share the tiny sweetheart with the world and today juniper is one of the top 10 pets on Instagram and in fact she is the only one that isn't a traditional cat or a dog if you are wondering about the challenges that Coca rod face raising juniper you might be surprised to learn that she may be one of the simplest pets on today's list as it turns out juniper is what is known as a tamed Fox this type of Fox displays over 4,000 genetic differences when compared with mild foxes and the differences are crucial in making juniper a suitable house pet the origin of the tame Fox is a fairly grim one these foxes are a genetic variant created to make it easier for fur farmers to keep them they demand less space and are more docile and gradually this means that a fox like juniper is typically bound for a horrendous outcome in junipers case however she was the runt of the litter and wasn't specifically born for farming the passive traits however are still very prominent in her and Coker couldn't be happier to be your mama talking about her famous Fox said quote every once in a while life will throw you a gift my gift just happened to have fur and fangtooth grins surprisingly juniper isn't the only pet in the Coker house and she definitely has a lot of willing playmates around including a dog named moose a pair of sugar gliders named peach and petunia and a younger male fox named fig number 9 the capybara Melanie typaldos is a proud rodent owner but her pet of choice isn't a mouse or a guinea pig instead she spends many hours a day caring for her pet capybara named Gary capybaras of the world's largest rodent and Gary weighed nearly a hundred pounds Kevi burrows are semi aquatic so T'Pol dose keeps a large pool in her backyard to accommodate her big buddy its eponymous doesn't believe that her love for Gary is anything more than the love that most people would have for a dog or a cat not everybody sees it that way however and T'Pol dose his love for Gary was the subject of a TLC show called my crazy obsession in 2012 and that's just a little rude but people love their pets number eight owl in several parts of the world it is perfectly legal to keep a pet owl and that is just what molas owners have done but keeping an owl can have its fair share of challenges for one owls have very sharp talons and beasts this means that they are very hard on fabrics and wood work while giant owls can live as long as thirty years a smaller owl like molla will likely live around ten but her owners are very determined to make the most of every second and so is mola while most owls are opposed to being pets as there is very little president for it in their natural environment mola actually displays no objection to her owners affection number seven raccoon in late 2014 Rosie Kemp of Nassau in the Bahamas became the owner of a rather unique she was looking at her bag window when one afternoon she saw a tiny one month-old raccoon fall out of her tree the small creature was very weak and suffering from a broken hind leg fortunately for Kim she lives in the Bahamas where it is perfectly legal to adopt a wild raccoon not one to interfere with major she waited patiently to see if the raccoons mother would return for it but after several hours it was clear that the little guy was on his own out there with all that cleared up she simply had to do something Kent brought the tiny creature inside to nurse it back to health she named him pumpkin and that there had been inseparable ever since number 6 the polar bear Marc Dumas has a big fluffy white pet named Aggie but this isn't an American Eskimo or a big old Persian actually Aggie is an 800 pound polar bear one of the largest land carnivore is currently in existence while most of us are fascinated with these enormous beasts when they're at a distance it's hard to say that they're more interesting when we're right up close to them where they can get us however Marc Dumas is not one of us he adores his pet and he actually starts his day every day with a nice cold dip with his best pal Aggie in addition to swimming the pair also enjoys some lazy afternoon naps and friendly wrestling matches which I'm pretty sure Aggie would actually win marc has been raising Aggie for almost 30 years and he remains the only person in the world who is known to have a closely bonded relationship with a polar bear according to behavioral specialists their very special relationship is more than unique it's a true anomaly this incredible connection has afforded Aggie several experiences that most polar bears would never have including being prominently featured in four movies these movies are 1996 is Alaska arctic air in 2013 and the 2014 film's operation Arctic and the journey home feel is to say Aggie isn't a great starter pet in fact the Corgi Dumas had raised several other exotic animals including wolves deers and Eagles these days mark and Aggie can be found up to their old tricks of their home in British Columbia Canada number five the kangaroo Jackson O'Doherty is an Australian comedian with nearly 2 million followers on Facebook but this funny man seriously loves his pet a tiny red kangaroo named Damien together the two of them and become social media stars as they document their many adventures including stopping for gas playing outside and even building sandcastles O'Doherty may not have the most vicious creature on this list but he definitely has one of the more exotic pets that we've seen number four an alligator Mary thorn loves her pet Rambo with all of her heart and she's had him for well over a decade during that time they've shared some pretty fond memories including walks and dressing up in silly costumes but there's one cache you see if Thorne's pet isn't a cat or dog as I'm pretty sure you've figured out at this point in fact a Rambo is a six foot six inch long alligator throwing got the Gator when it was a little over a foot long Rambo has a very rare skin sensitivity which led to his owner finding an assortment of fun outfits for him as time went on the locals around Lakeland Florida began to take notice of the odd pair and before long they were making appearances at schools and local events it seemed that Rambo was beloved by everyone who met him however in 2016 when she tried to renew her license to own Rambo she got quite a surprise according to Florida Fish and Wildlife Randle had grown too large for her property when he exceeded six feet unable to move to a larger property it looks like Mary may have to give up her beloved Gator after months of grueling legal battles though Mary Thoren was finally allowed to keep Rambo and the two of them are living happily ever after especially in some silly outfits number three a grizzly bear Casey Anderson is a name that's very familiar to exotic animal enthusiasts Anderson Rose a national attention when he adopted an orphaned grizzly bear cub named Brutus from an overcrowded wildlife park named Yellowstone bear world from there he adopted more and more animals including mountain lions wolves Wolverines and even more bears in 2006 Anderson was the subject of a National Geographic documentary called Expedition grizzly however Casey Anderson isn't the only one raising bears up over in New York State lives a couple named Jim and Susan kowalczyk who have a rather unusual pet her pet's name is Jimbo and he's 26 this year and he happens to be a 680 pound grizzly there who acts a lot more like a house cat than a vicious wild beast at least according to the Cologne chicks Jimbo was a big softy who likes cuddles when he's feeling blue now it's time for the day's best pick my top pick today might just be one of the wildest creatures on today's list number two the top pick Brian Haun is a man willing to risk it all to have one of the world's most dangerous carnivores as a pal hyenas are probably one of the most recognizable African predators while many people associate hyenas with scavengers in fact only a small number of species are the rest are pack hunting carnivores however despite all this Ryan Han raised his very own pet hyena from the day it was born Han raised a hyena by hand and believed that it viewed him as appeared knew as I say one does not simply go out and purchase a hyena in fact Han acquire his illegally and had to raise him in secret this might have been challenging enough on its own but when he first got the animal he lived on the eighth floor of a Miami Beach apartment building unlike striped hyenas spotted hyenas are extremely vicious predators and that was exactly the species that Han wanted to hone but after a few months the hyena named Jake simply got too big and Hong contacted the Miami zoo illogical wildlife association but when he attended to lo the hyena into his carrier an incident occurred that left him with a badly broken arm and a severe bite wound nonetheless the transfer was completed to this day he continues to visit him regularly their connection is inspiring even if most people don't understand him I saved the best for last but first I have a quick challenge that takes 45 seconds 53 if you can leave a like and subscribe within the next 5 seconds you'll get 10 years of amazing luck just try it it really works number one big cats the idea of owning big cats definitely shouldn't be taken for granted even though people have been doing it for years the experience of owning one coupled with the astounding number that are privately capped it truly makes us one of the craziest pets that people actually own while some of the previous entries on today's list have been one-off or at least very rare instances with special circumstances nearly 10,000 Tigers are privately owned in the United States when you compare that to the 4000 currently in the wild it paints kind of a shocking picture over the years several big cat owners have become the focus of media attention including who made a backlash of the United Arab Emirates he is just one of the many collectors of exotic animals and then you have people like Joe exotic who was the focus of the 2022 Netflix hit tiger King given that these giant felines can weigh hundreds of pounds in our violent and agile predators those raising them need to take special precautions and ensure that they are properly educated but with so many felines being privately owned many are pets in horrific conditions one example is me a 500-pound tiger who was forced to live in a tiny New York City apartment for well over a decade before she was released in a daring rescue operation while many large cats are kept privately it doesn't mean it's for everyone despite a price tag of around $1500 anyone considering a tiger cub needs to remember that they will one day be a full-grown carnivore which of today's wild pets was your favorite what would you want to own which one would you never oh there's no in the comment section down below with all that said and done I will see you all next time later everybody [Music]
