Cheetahs, tigers and lions now illegal pets in the UAE
Anyone seen in public walking their exotic pet -- taking a tiger for a stroll may sound ludicrous, but is not unheard of in the UAE -- will have the animal confiscated and could face up to six months in jail, according to a copy of the law obtained by CNN.A tiger would not make a good pet. These are wild animals and although a cub might be manageable for a short while, it would, if properly fed, get large enough to kill a human just by playing around, they are so strong. A better idea IMO, if you live in Europe (especially the UK), is to sponsor a tiger in a zoo.
Lion bones are used to make what's marketed as tiger bone wine, a luxury, while claws and teeth are turned into jewelry. In at least eight wildlife seizures in China, lion parts were said to be tiger products, according to Ms. Banks and her colleagues.

Here Are 15 Exotic Animals Trying To Take The Best Pet Title Away From Dogs
- The Scorpion. Not to start off with the obvious, but really?
- The Bearded Dragon.
- The Sugar Glider.
- The Tarantula.
- The Hissing Cockroach.
- The Hedgehog.
- The Burmese Python.
- The Fennec Fox.
Tigers are large, strong, and dangerous cats. They have the ability to take down a 500-pound antelope, are strong swimmers, and are very territorial. Once a tiger cub gets big enough to push you over, it's a bad idea to be wrestling with them. Even their play bites can cause serious damage or kill a person.
When it comes to the types of animals that can be kept as pets, there are many to choose from. Dogs and
cats are the most common types of pets.
Small Pets: Mammals and rodents:
- Rabbits.
- Guinea pigs.
- Mice.
- Hamsters.
- Gerbils.
- Rats.
- Hedgehogs.
- Ferrets.
Pet hedgehogs are quiet, active, entertaining, and low maintenance. They are nocturnal, making them a good pet for someone who has a 9 to 5 job. These solitary animals prefer to be housed alone and may fight if kept with other hedgehogs. Even a tame African pygmy hedgehog needs to get used to you.
Raising a monkey around humans won't change its wild nature, and pet monkeys will never truly become domesticated. Pet monkeys often have a tendency to bite (and they have 32 teeth to deliver these nasty bites). While some monkeys are gentle, some are very aggressive.
Foxes don't make good pets. Although they are very rarely aggressive to humans, they may bite if distressed or panicked – which, as wild animals, they can become quite easily if in contact with people. “It's because they're so highly wired,” says Bowler.
Lions usually hunt at night. Their prey includes antelopes, buffaloes, zebras, young elephants, rhinos, hippos, wild hogs, crocodiles and giraffes. But they also sometimes eat smaller prey like mice, birds, hares, lizards, and tortoises.
