Some people have cats and dogs but as these photos show, these people have some very exotic house pets. There are alligators and hairless rats and some that I have never seen before. Oh yes, there are also lots of strange fish.

Aye-Aye

It kinda looks familiar.. Remember the Lion King cartoon, Timon and Simba? This lion cub called Zinzi was rejected by her mother and when she was brought to the Predator World Zoo and Game Farm (South Africa) she was noticed by Bob the meerkat. It took them little time to become friends. Since then they are inseparable and are doing everything together. But their favourite time is a nap, of course.

Take a look at this monster’s round jaw. It looks horrifying. But this creature is fantastic, as it can survive in extreme environments that would kill people and most animals and even survive the vacuum of space. It can stand temperatures of as low as -273 degrees C (-460 degrees F) and as high as 151 degrees C (303 degrees F). It can stay alive after boiling in hot water, and getting 1,000 times more radiation than humans. It can spend almost a decade without water and food. Probably, these monsters would have seized our Planet by now if not two circumstances. On the one hand, they are extremely small (the biggest adults are able to reach a body length of 1.5 mm). On the other hand, they are slow walkers. They are even called Tardigrada because of this.

My two cats

Of course, these are not photos of the popular Teddy Bear toy. These are real wild and tamed bears that look funny and cute. Many of these pictures will make you smile.

This woman is probably the most extreme animal fan in the world to get such an unusual and unpredictable pet. Even her child couldn’t stop her from getting this creature…

Shirva locals had an unusual adventure this month. Everything started with the Sapaliga family searching for their pet dog. They found it in the open well. The dog was chased by a hungry leopard who went hunting near Shirva. Both animals accidentally fell into the well, but were rescued by locals and forest personnel who used cages to catch exhausted “adventurers”. The dog has been returned to its master. As for the leopard, it was transported to the National Reserve Forest at Kudremukh.

One family that lives in Colorado Springs found their water barrel empty every morning.

They tried to discover what was happening at night. So, they installed a camera.

You’ll see the result in pictures after the jump.

Love is an amazing feeling. And humans are not the only ones who can experience it. Take a look at this kitten and sweet love of its life.

This struggle between a toad and a snake went on for an hour. The snake was doing its best to try and swallow the toad, but the victim took efforts to escape. Find out who is the winner in this fight after the jump.

Photographer Justin Minns has saved a squirrel when it fell down the tree and broke its leg. He took care of the animal, and now the squirrel lives in his house together with his cat. The saved pet freely walks around the house and steals snacks.

Time to leave. This is the name of this collection of amazing photos. I would call it “Pigeon Clock”. What about you?

Take a closer look at this bridge. Who do you see there? A hint: these are very unusual bridge passersby.

This mother cat has adopted this baby squirrel. The squirrel had fallen out of a tree and the woman of the house tried to feed it with an eyedropper. When that didn’t work, she remembered that she had a cat who was nursing some kittens. She placed the squirrel with the mother cat and the cat began nursing the baby squirrel. Mother cat and squirrel have been doing fine every since.

Robert Kiraly heard a loud noise in his courtyard at night. When he got outside, he found a 200 pound black bear with his head stuck in a milk barrel. It turned out the bear decided to find something to eat and squeezed his head in a milk can that was on the porch. When he felt that his head got stuck, he started yelling wildly trying to escape.

These dogs are of every breed and gender. They have only have one thing in common and that is that they are extremely large. Some of them are posed with people or normal sized dogs so that you can see just how big these dogs are and they are huge.

Who would have thought that cats and a squirrel could play together so peacefully? Well, as the adorable photos in the post prove they absolutely will. The friendly cats even allow the squirrel to share their food.

This post is full of jungle beasts in their natural habitat. Although they are beautiful in their own way, they are also ferocious. The law of the jungle is truly the survival of the fittest and only the strong survive. 

Some funny faces of cats that have a resemblance with Hitler.

Poor cats ;)

These crabs don't give a darn about their "healthy food" image. They enjoy smoking. 

Enjoy the pictures from the 15th Cat Fashion Show in New York. The show, taking place in Algonguin Hotel, also celebrated the host cat Matilda's birthday. The participants looked posh and glamorous. 

Some animals endanger their lives and health just because of being too curious. That's when only people come to help.

They just have a thing for it.

This frog jumped into a fisherman’s net with fish and swallowed his catch.

Never saw this.

In a Californian zoo a mother tiger couldn't get over her triplet tiger cubs' death. The depression endangered her health, so the veterinarians came up with a decision! They found orphan weaner piglets and wrapped them in tiger skin. Sometimes animals take care of other species, but is this the case? See whether the piglets have become a dinner or a family...
