They don't see it as their personal opinion, but rather a matter of health, safety, and "why would you *want* one of those anyways?" Most people I know, unfortunately take the attitude that everything should be banned unless there's evidence it should be legal. Your poll is a bit leading, and also as an internet poles means nothing. Unfortunately, the Tamandua does stink, so for that reason is not one of the best exotic pets. They eat a lot of different foods, so feeding is not that difficult, even for those of you that are not "blessed" with thousands of termite nests. Thanks for including the Tamandua in your list. I've actually been told tamandua are very difficult pets, but it probably helps that you live in their country so they could forage naturally.ĭr Mark from The Atlantic Rain Forest, Brazil on October 04, 2017: Melissa A Smith (author) from New York on October 07, 2017: I have actually ben wanting a pet wallaroo for a while now I like the dik dik and the prevost squirrel

Is there such a thing as a black giraffe? I just wish there were stronger laws on wild caught animals. Most all of them do far better in the wild and should be left alone. I put no while I do think some of these can be kept as pets (for example the smaller rodent like ones are are easily bred). I Would love to have that singing dog for A pet. This project is only possible thanks to your generous donations.I'm having an alligator and I'm going to walk it every day on sidewalks Yadav and his team plan to help the local community take the right steps to ensure that as the dogs return, they predate wild animals and not livestock, meaning locals are happy to live alongside them again. The dogs are returning to the area because there is sufficient wild prey now. And putting up fox lights to deter the wild dogs attacking livestock at night.

These include setting up a livestock insurance scheme so that community members can claim compensation when they do lose any animals. Yadav will start to put in place conservation initiatives targeted to reduce human-wild dog conflict through innovative interventions.

So Yadav and his colleagues aim to work with local people, herders and conservation area management committees to change their attitudes towards the dogs and teach them the ecological importance of the species. Recolonisation can only be successful if the threats which drove the species to extinction previously are either completely eliminated or significantly reduced.

This is great news but the wild dogs will need a helping hand. However, recent research in Annapurna Conservation Area revealed that the species is trying to recolonize the area. A dhole (wild dog) caught on a camera trap (Photo credit Friends for Nature).Their numbers have drastically decreased over recent years, due to loss of prey and persecution in the mid-hills of Nepal. Elders who used to see wild dogs in abundance today report very few sightings. The Gurung people in the Sikles region of the Annapurna Conservation Area compare the bwanso to an untamed wind - it can be anywhere at any time, but is difficult to control. Bwanso is also used as a description for a ruthless or evil human being. The fact that the Nepali word for the wild dog (bwanso) is also used to refer to the wolf is part of the problem. Wild dogs get a bad press in Nepal, almost as bad as hyenas. This is particularly the case with livestock herders whose very livelihood is under threat when their animals are not given sufficient protection. As top predators they consistently come into conflict with people. Large carnivores are having a hard time all around the world. Asiatic wild dogs are a little-known species that, despite living over quite a large area of Asia, may number as few as 1,000 individuals and no more than 2,300.
