Exotic animals (pics)

[JMKristy]

My sons and I volunteer for a local dog rescue. Today they hosted an event and invited several other rescue groups, one of which specialized in exotics. These are all animals you can own where I live, most without even a permit! Obviously people have no clue what they are getting into, hence the rescue group! This picture is of mase holding a baby (joey) wallaby. More pics to comes in replies!

This is my personal favorite! If I could, I would love to ha ve one! He is a coatimundi. Basically a south american racoon. The pet stores here sell them for $300-$400, to anyone, no permit needed. :( They are seriously more work than a preschool full of toddlers!

That's so cool! Sad that rescues like that are necessary, though.

I want a toucan. I almost had one, for $1,000, with everything, but she got sold out from under me. :( She came from a zoo that was closing, and was super nice.

When we move to the new house, I'm building some good outdoor enclosures for exotic rescues. :)
