Are alligators or crocodiles dangerous pets?
Yesssssss... American alligators, which are unfortunately widely available in the pet trade, can reach around 800 lbs and get around 15 ft give or take a few feet. Crocs have a much wider range. The saltwater croc is actually the largest living reptile today. They can grow over 20 ft long and are just massive. How about a puppy instead? :)

Are Burmese pythons illegal to own in missouri?
It's not clear. Check with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which regulates these things. Here's the most recent missive from New York: NEW YORK, NY – Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar today announced the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will propose to list the Burmese python and eight other large constrictor snakes that threaten the Everglades and other sensitive ecosystems as “injurious wildlife” under the Lacey Act. Salazar made the announcement at the Port of New York, which serves as the largest point of entry in the nation for imports of wildlife and wildlife products. Last year, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Inspectors at John F. Kennedy International Airport handled more than 27, 000 separate wildlife shipments valued at more than $1 billion, or 16 percent of all U.S. wildlife imports. The proposal, which will be open to public comment before Salazar makes a final decision, would prohibit importation and interstate transportation of the animals. “The Burmese python and these other alien snakes are destroying some of our nation’s most treasured – and most fragile – ecosystems,” Salazar said. “The Interior Department and states such as Florida are taking swift and common sense action to control and eliminate the populations of these snakes, but it is an uphill battle in ecosystems where they have no natural predators. If we are going to succeed, we must shut down the importation of the snakes and end the interstate commerce and transportation of them.” In total, wildlife inspectors stationed at ports across the nation processed more than 169,700 shipments of wildlife and wildlife products last year with an estimated value of $2.7 billion.
In what states can I have a Savannah cat as a pet?
The answer to this question is not a simple one. Savannah cats are legal in most states; with some varying restrictions in some of them. Hawaii, Rhode Island, Georgia and Nebraska have statewide bans against Savannah cats. Texas, New York and Colorado have counties and cities in which Savannahs are illegal. And some states have restrictions on early generations of Savannah cats, but allow the generations with more domestic cat genes. Maryland bans Savannah cats that weigh over 30 lbs. (quite silly, since Maine Coon cats that weigh more than 30 lbs. aren’t uncommon.) Some states that allow Savannah cats, require you to get certain permits to legally keep them. It is also very important to check laws and regulations for your city, county, township, HOAs and apartment rules, etc. to be sure your Savannah will be allowed. The best source I have seen for up to date laws on Savannah cats and other hybrids, is Hybrid Law - US and International Laws for Ownership of Hybrid Cats and Dogs .The laws in different states can change, so it is important to check, if you are considering moving to a new location with a Savannah. Hopefully, as people become better informed, laws will change to allow Savannahs wherever they had hitherto been illegal. That happened in Connecticut in 2012. But there are some organizations attempting to ban Savannahs and other hybrid derived domestic cats, from time to time, here and there. You can learn more about that at New! Savannah Owner’s Rights – and at Save Our Hybrid Derived Domestic Cats.
The tiger is afraid of which animal?
The Tiger is a keystone apex predator in his ecosystem. An adult male tiger is the worst nightmare of any forest dweller. The Tiger has earned a fearsome reputation in culture and literature thanks to its ruthlessly aggressive temperament and intimidating presence.There are not many animals that a Tiger cowers to, with the obvious exception of a homosapien with a gun.Most wild animals in the tiger's habitat are usually very of the beast and maintain their distance due to obvious reasons, even large herbivores like elephants, rhinoceros and gaurs avoid confronting a tiger. Other sympatric predators in the region like leopards and crocodiles usually like to live their separate ways, since confronting an apex predator and attempting to fend it off can potentially be an invitation to life threatening mortal wounds and would significantly lower the chances of survival of both the parties involved.Also, a wild Tiger is not to be underestimated under any means. The records just speak for themselves.Young elephant killed by a lone tiger.Adult asian rhinoceros killed by a lone tiger.Another similar scenarioGaur huntConfronting a Tiger in the wild is not really the smartest idea, specially if you fall into the prey category.Male tiger with his killI mean, just the predator to prey ratio is completely insane in this case.Tigress known as “Machli” slaughtering a full grown crocodile.Leopard demolished by a juvenile tiger.As I said earlier, even the sympatric predators are not safeNow,A large and I mean 30+ group of Dholes may overwhelm a lone tiger, but even with massive numbers they would suffer massive casualties before the Tiger succumbs to their bites and gnaws. Being pack predators, that is absolutely not a situation that the dholes would want to be in.Tigers are known to take down and predate on Ussuri bears for God's sake. This alone explains the phobias of a tiger. NONE.

How do I get a bird of prey as a pet? I’m interested in falconry, and want a hawk or an eagle.
Oh dear God no. You don't. If you're even asking this question, you really, really don't want, and in any event aren't prepared to handle, a bird of prey.Birds of prey are cool. They are also very dangerous, very powerful predators with a fearsome arsenal of weaponry and very small brains.My partner Zaiah’s father is a falconer. He got out of it some time ago, because it's an expensive sport that demands you do a lot of training and maintain a lot of equipment for the questionable benefit of dealing with unruly, bad-tempered animals that will gleefully injure or maim you for the most trivial mistake.Last December, he found an injured Harris’s hawk, which he rescued and rehabilitated.Now, the Harris’s hawk is often considered a docile, forgiving, and generally pleasantly-disposed bird of prey, for a bird of prey. That qualifier is important.This particular bird was quite lovely, no doubt about it. It was also aggressive, foul-mannered, meanspirited, and needed to be treated gingerly and with suitable protective gear.It was quite lovely, but honestly, I wouldn't go into the same room with it. Call me a coward, but I'm quite attached to my fingers and eyes and would prefer to keep them in their accustomed places in the same quantities I was born with. Gorgeous animal, but I'd sooner walk into a room with an exposed core of a nuclear reactor—you need the right clothing in both instances, but the nuclear core isn't going to get it in its head that it doesn't like the way you look or smell or move and decide to come after you.If you're “sorta interested,” don't. A bird of prey is not a chinchilla. You have to go all in if falconry is something you want to do, and that means understanding that you're embarking on a huge commitment of time, money, equipment, training, and space to engage in a high-risk hobby with temperamental, aggressive animals that can and will do serious injury to you if you slip up.(If you're wondering about the hawk, he kept it for about four or five weeks until it recovered and then released it. It still makes occasional appearances on the property.)
