The Journey of owning an extraordinary creature is like finding a place at home, as they require love, homes, and specialized care. If you ever own an unusual pet, ask yourself what kind of pet would it be?
Unusual pets provide unique entertainment that offers experiences for unusual pet owners. Learning opportunities on what special pets will need for their environmental needs and the understanding requirements, health indicators, and a source to teach us how exotic animals interact with us humans. Social interactions with a pet like Kinkajou are special since they favor attention and aren't as interested in other animals since they typically bond with 1-2 people. Another animal people may own is a skunk. The biggest struggle is trying to keep it out of trouble. Some skunks that people own may have an odor that humans can't stand, knowing that if you can tolerate ferrets, you can tolerate skunks as pets.

Students' unusual pets:
My first idea was to go around asking students what kind of pets they have owned. As students said that they’ve owned a tropical fish and three hermit crabs; another has owned a rat. The first question wasn’t so specific, since I had lots of cats and dogs. Leading to my second idea; my second idea was to do a poll. The results were to figure out what kind of unusual pets students have or had owned. Here's a list of usual pets: blaze ferret, blue tang fish, red fox, iguana, banana slug, leopard gecko, baby baboon, ball python snake, Hermit crab, and candy cane shrimp.
