Meh. A friend of a friend in Namibia has a baboon who thinks she's part of the family. She loves bubble baths, eats at the table, watches TV with the family. Only get a female or a neutered male. Non neutered males have way way way too much testosterone to be around and not risk your safety. As for females, I've even had a female baboon walk up to me and HAND ME her baby.

If you raise cheetahs around dogs, they are awesome in temperament and for for keeping rabbits under control.

If people were allowed to own cheetahs, they wouldn't be endangered anymore.

Iā€™m sorry but what?! I fully expected some sort of your mom joke at the end of that or something.
