5 Strangest Pets in the World - Dog Training Devices

1. Giraffes

The Carr-Hartley family has a pet giraffe; well, actually, they have several! Just like many other pet-loving families, their pet eats with them. The family lives near Mount Kilimanjaro, and has a 140 acre estate. They have a nice big dining room, and every morning the giraffes stroll up to the house and poke their heads through the window to join in with family meals.

2. Sheep

Nick Boing is an unusual sheep with an equally unusual name. Nick was found as a newborn by the Palmer family when they were visiting the Goldcliff Nature Reserve in Wales. The lamb refused to go and join his own kind, so the family took him home with them. They tried a couple more times to get him to live with other sheep, but never succeeded, so now he is a permanent resident in their home.

3. Moose

There are several families in Alaska that take care of moose. The keeping of domestic moose isn?t something that is encouraged by the Fish and Game authorities, but it does sometimes happen in special circumstances. One Alaskan family, Wendall and Debbie, live on a ranch with several cows. A young moose was brought to them after its mother died. They agreed to raise the young moose until he was old enough to be released in the wild. He was released when he was a year old, and he gladly went away for the spring, however he returned in the autumn to spend time with the cows, and is now a regular sight on the ranch.

4. Skunks

Skunks are becoming increasingly popular as pets from all around the world. There are some breeders that remove the anal scent glands from skunks so that they are easier to keep as pets. Skunks don?t shed their fur as much as other animals do, so they?re perfect for pet lovers that have allergies which prevent them from keeping more traditional pets. They?re easy to tame too.

5. Pigs

Back in the 1990s, pot-bellied pigs were a popular pet. Many families adopted these cute and cuddly animals thinking that they would stay pint-sized forever. Sadly, those pet owners didn?t realize that pot-bellied pigs can grow to be quite large, and difficult to care for. This means that many pigs ended up being adopted or taken in by care agencies.

However, pigs can be good pets. If you have the space to look after them, then you?ll come to love their intelligence. They can perform tricks, recognize their own name, and even figure out how mirrors work. So if you want a pet that won?t sit there entranced by the washing machine, you know where to look!

Whatever pet you opt for, be sure you understand how long it will live, how big it will grow, and what special needs it has. Most animals are cute and cuddly when they?re young, but they can quickly grow to be quite a handful. If you don?t know for sure that you?ll want to look after them forever, then don?t take them in to your family.
