The Groupon Guide to: Exotic Pets
Though it's true that dogs are "a man's best friend," and that cats are "the husbands of the sea," some potential pet owners are lukewarm to the traditional balls of slobbering fuzz at their disposal. Here's a guide to the latest, hottest exotic pets for the discriminating animalista:
- Teacup Pigs: Bred to be as small as 25 pounds, these puppy-size pigs are the ideal pet for anyone who loves having unimaginable filth in their home but only has room for a little of it. These diminutive domestics also make the perfect accessory for anyone who dreams of being a giant farmer.
Secret Fact: In culinary circles, teacup pigs are also known as Cornish game hogs. - Iguanas: Sure, they look cool, and they can flick away stray bullets with their tail, but iguanas are most famous for being stupid—right? Actually this couldn't be further from the truth—also known as "wisdom lizards," or more rarely, "double dolphins," iguanas can be taught to place distinct shapes of colored pegs into matching holes, and are often trained by the police to do so.
Secret Fact: Due to their obvious genetic ancestry, iguanas breathe a little fire when they're scared—turning any airtight container lined with olive oil and heirloom potatoes into the perfect self-heating dinner for two. - Parrots: The real reason to get an exotic pet is attention, and nothing siphons attention away from you like your infant niece or nephew's first guttural utterance of "mama," "cookie," or "stop it." Clip baby Einstein's wings by showing up at your next family event with an animal that can speak people language, and watch the cross-species conversation turn back to something interesting—you.
Secret Fact: Parrots, just like chickens, turkeys, ducks, Christmas gooses, and ostrich burgers, are all members of the bird family.
