Most people who have pets are those who have the usual dogs and cats and perhaps birds.  Pets are normal parts of people’s lives; it isn’t at all unusual for a person to have a dog, a cat, a bird, a fish, or even a frog at home. However, some people aren’t content with just having these common domesticated animals as pets. There are some who really have the exotic pets. And so today, we will explore two types of exotic pets. 

The first one is rather strange that people would have it. Yet, different strokes for different folks.  Alligators are the most dangerous of the exotic pets. It is a crocodilian, which comes from the family of Alligatoridae.  The name was derived from Anglicization of a Spanish word, which was used by Spanish explorers who were settled in Florida, United States. Alligators are found mostly in America and China.  You will find such exotic pets in people backyard in Florida.

Exotic pets can be good friends

When you study exotic pets, it is a good idea to keep in mind that they are animal kept as  pets and not commonly thought of as a pet. Another definition of exotic pet is a rare or unusual animal kept as a pet. There are many features of alligators that distinguish them from crocodiles and both of them belong to different taxonomic families. Alligators have a broader snout and their eyes are located near the upper side. These are important characteristics.

Another exotic pets to consider is the Bobcats. Bobcats are small cats belonging to North America. They inhabit the wood areas and deciduous forests stretching from west to southeast America and Mexico. Some even occupy parts of south Canada. They have a small body structure. Their fur is of color yellowish brown or reddish brown with black or dark brown stripes. They have noticeably long ears with black tips. Their weight ranges from twenty four to thirty five pounds. I must point out that they are very beautiful animals.
