What animal would you like to have as a pet and why?

ell I already have quite a few pets, I have cats, dogs and horses. But if I could have any other animal especially some exotic one I would say a monkey! There are just so cute and I always wanted a monkey. Probably would go with one of those chimps since you can train them to do stuff. Another would be an elephant although I have npo clue where I would keep it oh well haha happy mylotting.

If I can afford a pet I would like to have gorilla. I like gorilla very much. From their behaviours I can find our human being’s habits. I’m always interested to know them and try to do something to help them. When I see them eyes to eyes I feel they can understand what I’m thinking. It’s really amazing animal.So if I can have a baby gorilla at home it would be fun and more interesting than other pets I can have.

i would want a dolphin as a pet.. :) i've wanted a whale but i don't think i can handle it's size so i'll have a dolphin instead... i enjoyed the enthusiasm that dolphins show to the public, they're so entertaining, and they're so filled with life... :)

I think I'd like to have an otter or two. The idea of a life of fun and frolick appeals to the 'goof off' side of my nature..Penguins would be neat too! Liz has a few knick-knack versions in the house already. Having a few standing about the yard like the queen's guard would be a fun effect along with their Charlie Chaplin walk at chow call.. ENJOY!

I've always wanted a tiger for a pet (assuming, yeah, it doesn't eat me :p ). I guess it was because I was born in the year of the tiger that I like them so much compared to all the other animals that I find so cute. And having a big cat for a pet, it would be so nice to cuddle and hug him! And just think how cute it would look playing with him :D

I would want to have a kangaroo,Because kangaroos are cool!!!!!!!!! If i needed to get a ride to game stop all i have to do is hop in his pouch just like ruu from whinnie the pooh. And if i got in a fight all i would need to do is buy my kangaroo some boxing gloves and he'll knock him out! Plus it's so cool to watch a kangaroo fool around hopping on it's two feet. And thats why i would like to have a kangaroo as a pet. Plus it's so random to have a kangaroo, you don't see people having one of those.

We already have several cats that we rescued. I would love to have a couple of dogs, a Pug and a Lab. But if I could have something other than a dog or cat, I think I would like to have an Alpaca or two. I have seen some on television and read about them and they are so adorable and I have heard they are great pets, calm and loving. If we had the land to do so, I would love to have a few of them!

I have a cat. I choose a cat because cats are very funny. Cats are always fed.

I would love to have sea creatures as pet. I would love a penguin. A cute one will do, not the big emperor type. That one will be scary. Also, I would love a dolphin. If shark's not scary, I might consider it as a pet but shark might eat me. Whale is too big so I guess it's a no. I think I can build mini ocean near my house~~~

Theres a few I would like to have. A white tiger or a black leopard or Jaguar. My friend has a monkey and it is so cute. So a small monkey would be cute. I also love Killer whales and that would be fun.

I can tell you that I've got the animals that I've always wanted in my life right now. I've always loved having dogs in my life, now I have them. For the first seven years of our marriage and when I was out on my own I didn't have any animals. I think if I'd had a dog back when I was out on my own, I never would have married. No offense but my dogs make me happy, I mean taking care of them.

I would want large cats. Tiger, leopard, panther, jaguar. Cheetahs are admirable, but they're too skinny for me to really want to own one. Lions are big, meaty cats like the others I named, but something about lions just puts me off. It would also be very cool to have a platypus as a pet.

I would want a black wolf for a pet because it would make a good guard dog and nobody would be game enough to set foot on my property. I also think wolves are quite intelligent, which would be important when trying to train one. They would also be very protective, nobody would be able to approach you in a threatening manner.

I would want a lion. A lion symbolizes power and authority. It could protect my house and friends. Best of all, I could ride on the lion to the stores, parks...

once, when i was bored and was surfing the net i found that you could actually buy a penguin and keep it for a pet. that, i think would be the best pet in the world! however, i live in canada and though its cold part of the time, it gets pretty hot here for a good 4 months of the year during the summer.

May be a swan,hehe.In the ideal world I can have a big enough pool to raise and let it swim in.I really prefer the elegance of it.And I hope one day I can be one of them too. At the same time I would also have a shepherd dog.I'm always being moved by its loyalty. happy today

I would like to have crocodile as a pet..isn't interesting to have warning sign at the doorway or gate read like this " beware of crocodile " hehehehe. And how about a PANDA...it's so cuteeeeeeeeeee.

I want a ferret. I think they're cute.

After reading the other posts, I am not sure my squirrel finds any place. But I will still prefer that happy creature around, rabbits, dogs, panda, deers, dolphins, and fishes are other pets that I would happily welcome in my home.

It may sound a touch odd but I was going to say I would want a rather large spider as a pet, but while reading the responses to see if anyone else already mentioned spider I changed my mind. Instead, remembering that you said the animal can now be extinct, I would go for an Arthropleura. I was going to add a picture of it, but apparently you can't add images to discussions and so instead, here is a link: http://www.discoveringfossils.co.uk/arthropleura_crail.jpg I hope that works, I had to write it out since I can't paste things yet :( But yea. It was featured in an episode of a show called Primeval ages ago and I just adored it, though I can't quite remember what it eats...I hope it is vegetarian lol! As well as that I wouldn't be partial to a trilobite either, they are so adorable in their own little ways, and perhaps some real life ammonites too. Dranz
