8 animals that should never be kept as pets

Hyenas - Strong predators with complex social needs.

Kangaroos - Need open spaces and specific diets.

Bengal Cats (wild) - Wild instincts make them unsuitable for homes.

Exotic Birds (e.g., Macaws, Cockatoos): While not dangerous, exotic birds have specific dietary, social, and environmental needs. They can live for many decades, requiring long-term commitment and care that many people are not prepared to provide.

Chimpanzees and Other Primates: Primates are highly intelligent and social animals with complex needs that are difficult to meet in a home environment. They can also become aggressive as they age.

Venomous Snakes: Species like cobras, vipers, and rattlesnakes have venom that can be fatal to humans. Handling and housing them safely requires specialized training and equipment.

Bears: Bears are powerful and potentially dangerous animals that need large habitats and specialized care. They can also become aggressive as they mature.

Elephants: Elephants are highly social and intelligent animals that need large areas to roam and complex social interactions. Keeping them as pets is both impractical and inhumane.
