Exotic Pets: From Alligators to Zebra Fish

64 pp. | Watts | February, 1999 | Library ISBN 0-531-20352-2 $$24.00
(4) 4-6 Before They Were Pets series. Why would people want to keep moose, jaguars, even eels, as pets? Zeaman attempts to explain their appeal, and to present information on the differences between a pet and a captive animal, which exotic creatures make the best pets, and how to care for orphaned or injured wild animals. Illustrated by crisply reproduced photographs, the book is marred by Zeaman's mixed message, which seems confused as to whether or not it's okay to keep exotic and wild pets. Bib., glos., ind.
