When I was a kid among the many pets we had, one was a Thai river otter.

Exotic animals are incredibly rewarding to live with, but take huge amounts of 
care.  Very few people should even attempt this.  I understand better than most

domesticated ones.  That, however, does little to make me immune to their 
charms.
