I’ve grown up with many animals throughout my life. I have a cat under my roof now and her name is Kiki, a beautiful Bengal cat. She may be a little ferocious, but shes a sweet heart regardless, very suitable for a household pet.
Let me take you to Africa, home of many animals, especially unique species not habitable in North America.
Africa is also a place where unusual pets are common, and common is abnormal. In the images, what looks to be a fairly large dog is actually a hyena.
Some places in the world don’t allow pitbulls to be raised as pets, but imagine having this beast of a hyena for a pet? You may have just found a way to scare away the neighbours.
