If you’re looking for something a little “out of ordinary” for a pet – you’ve come to the right place!
#1 Capybara
They're semi-aquatic animals, so if you're looking to adopt a Capybara, they'll definitely need access to water in order to swim around. This semi-aquatic rodent is legal to own in Texas and Pennsylvania.
#2 Bearded Dragon
Bearded dragons are legal to own in the United States, and sold in most pet stores.
#3 Serval
Servals aren't typically aggressive, but they can be difficult to own as they are still considered "wild." It's legal to own a Serval in Nevada, Idaho, Wisconsin, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, West Virginia without a license required.
#4 Fennec Fox
It is legal to own a Fennec Fox everywhere in the United States except Missouri, Minnesota, Nevada, and Washington.
#5 Wallaby
Lots of outdoor space is required to own a wallaby, so they are illegal to own inside many city limits. Check with your state before deciding to look for a Wallaby as a pet - you may need to obtain a license first.
#6 Chimpanzee
Owning a Chimpanzee is illegal in most states throughout the country, but you may be able to obtain a license to own one in a few states like Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, or North Dakota.
