Exotic or specific pets
Many people do not know the meaning of the word exotic, and because of this ignorance, they are unsuccessful in choosing an experienced veterinarian. The word "exotic" refers to a special pet in the meaning of unusual or different, in other words, any domestic creature other than dogs and cats, which are divided into seven main groups. In the following, we will introduce you to these seven groups of exotic animals. The word exotic means unusual, different, etc., and refers to animal species that are not kept as pets under normal conditions and are often illegal to keep (for example, white lions! ) This definition may include different animals from one region to another and from one culture to another.
In this section, we should say that there is a better and more general definition for the word exotic, in the way that any domestic creature other than dogs and cats (from bacteria to dinosaurs!), no matter how strange, special, or different. be; It is called exotic. But the last definition is the definition that we provide for the ease of studying and teaching about certain pets. According to Dr. Exotic's classification, special pets are placed in seven main categories, and any other type of pet that is not included in this category, although still considered exotic, is included in the category of "wildlife" animals and It is studied and analyzed separately.
Exotic classification (special pets)
The seven groups of special pets according to the classification of Dr. exotic animals are From:
small mammals (rabbits, guinea pigs, squirrels, hedgehogs, hamsters, etc. are included in this group.)
aquarium fish
ornamental birds
reptiles and amphibians (snake, lizard , turtle, frog, salamander, etc. are in this group.)
Birds of prey
Invertebrates (tarantula, scorpion, cricket, etc. are in this group.)
