It looks like a kangaroo, but this miniature version

requires much less room and care than its full-sized


counterpart. Common and native to Australia, wallaroos
live up to 19 years, can reach up to 56 inches in length
and can weigh up to 100 pounds.

Wallaroos eat mostly grasses and shrubs that you might


find tricky to locate, and do require a designated space
to jump around, like a good yard with a fence at least 6
feet high. Wallaroos cost between $1,000 and $4,000,
and specialty foods, grasses and shrubs can cost around
$300 per month.
Popular as pets, bearded dragons or "beardies" are
moderately sized lizards native to Australia. While
they are generally considered good pets, even for
beginner reptile owners, they do have fairly complex
nutritional and environmental requirements.

Special equipment and a fair amount of time are


needed to care for bearded dragons properly.
However, they are social, easy to tame and handle,
and they show a range of fascinating behaviors that
make them interesting to watch.
Sugar gliders are popular exotic pets.
They're small, cute, and unique little
animals. But just as you would with any
other exotic pet, a potential sugar glider
owner should be aware of the care
requirements and personality traits of a
sugar glider before getting one. Sugar
gliders are a long term commitment, living
up to 14 years in captivity, and require a
special diet of honey, calcium powder,
baby cereal and fresh vegetables and
fruits, lots of attention, and space.
For more than 60 years, skunks have
undergone domestication to be the fun-loving,
furry mischief-makers that more and more
skunk enthusiasts are welcoming into their
homes. The skunk pet diet is a mix of fruit,
veggies, and animal protein, including insects,
fish, and poultry. Despite wild skunks being
most active at dawn and dusk, pet skunks can
be trained to have a sleep cycle that mirrors
that of their humans. They are very cuddly and
playful animals, offering hours of free
entertainment for their pet parents. Pet skunks
do have a tendency to get into things, though,
much like wild skunks enjoy getting into
garbage.
Wild wolves are sometimes kept as exotic pets, and
in some rarer occasions, as working animals.
Although closely related to domesticated dogs,
wolves do not show the same tractability as dogs in
living alongside humans, and generally, much more
work is required in order to obtain the same amount
of reliability. Wolves also need much more space
than dogs, about 25 to 40 square kilometres (10 to 15
sq mi) so they can exercise.
Nothing can be more aww inspiring than gazing in those deep
brown eyes. This tree dwelling marsupial from Africa is very
agile and made for the tree branches. The last thing these
small animals will expect is a small tight cage to be in.

Bush Baby’s require wide open branched type areas to live in


their own with the least stress. Though most house owners are
not able to provide the environment. It’s advised this animal
stays in the zoo, where it can’t be endangered.
