If it was ethically possible, a capybara. I’d just hangout in my own water and stone feature with my chill friend.
My partner took me to a place where we got to hang out with all sorts of animals, capybara included. They live up to their rep, for suuuuure. They just let me pet and hug them, and they loved being hand fed.
My favorites were binturong though. They had two babies they just let loose in a room with us. They were crawling all over our heads and bodies. I cried. I loved them so much.
Porcupines were also WAY more chill than I expected. I was scared to touch their quills, but they were happy to let me pet them and feed them carrot. They were pretty much as chill as capys!
I’d love to hang out with a capybara!
A red panda. I’d be happy with just being able to pet it occasionally to be honest.

Hedgehog!!! They’re so cute!
Good call! They have tics though
A lot of animals, including dogs and cats, are capable of getting ticks, so not a huge factor in comparing them with more traditional pets.
Good point
Godzilla.
You could destroy your enemies with him

Don’t forget Tokyo! He’s actually very well behaved if you just let him sleep peacefully in the ocean.

I’d love to have ferrets. They are illegal where I am, but more importantly I couldn’t afford to take care of multiple ferrets, which is problematic with how social they are. They are soooo cute and fun though. ❤️

Good point they are very easy pets. Hard to train though

Cats. (also test
)Great horned owl 🥰
I was thinking of this recently after having dealt with rodents on my yard. But it’s illegal in my area to own one and that’s probably for the best. I hear them at night outside sometimes but I have never seen one. I think I saw one flying during the day because the wingspan was huge and there was absolutely no sound as it went from one tree to another. All I saw was this thing with huge whitish gray wings open them wide and silently fly from one tree to another as I got near and called out to our dogs. I think we frightened it and it was trying to stay away out of sight during the day time hours.
Absolutely amazing, majestic creatures.
Many owls are completely silent when flying 🥰
In my country it’s legal to own one only if you have a falconry license, which is quite expensive to get.
Great choice 👌
A manatee.
Honestly, just a regular black cat. I can’t because of terrible allergies
That’s my idea of hell I love my kitties
I remember in elementary school begging my mom for a komodo dragon. Now, many years later…I just want a bison.
It’s actually legal in my state to own a crocodile as a pet with no permits or anything, but I don’t have the time, space, or adequate habitat for such a critter. Ignoring that Craigslist post was soooo difficult…
My kid is absolutely hurting to have a Giant African Snail, but they’re illegal here.
…go figure.
