what are exotic animals
When some hear âexoticâ they think wild and dangerous. Exotic actually refers to a species that is not native or indigenous to the ownerâs location. There are many sites available to check your state laws regarding private ownership of exotic animals. Almost all animals are legal in the United States, however due to injuries, danger of extinction, escapes, and health concerns, each state has its own laws in regards to which exotic animals you can own.
