Which animal do you love but have never owned?

I would say a horse. They are majestic and graceful, but I’ve never had the chance to own one.

I’ve always loved horses and even took horseback riding classes for years. Unfortunately, I don’t have the space or finances to properly care for one.

Maybe one day your dream will come true.

Owning horses isn’t always easy, trust me!

@Scout
I found a workaround by working for a vet and a teacher, helping with their horses in exchange for riding time. It’s a great way to enjoy horses without owning them.

I’ve helped take care of many horses, even the difficult ones. Once, I had to stay late to help a sick horse until the vet arrived.

I’d choose a capybara or an emu, assuming I could manage the correct setup and space for them.

I looked into owning a capybara. I’d need to hit the lottery to afford the space and setup they require!

If you like capybaras, you might also like wombats. There’s an Aussie who rescues them and shares a lot on social media.

Otters would be my choice. They are incredibly adorable.

Otters are definitely among my favorites too. They’re so playful and fun to watch!

A corgi. Their adorable wiggly butts get me every time!

I’d pay to pet a Kakapo if I were a millionaire. They’re fascinating birds.

I’m fascinated by coyotes and have had the chance to interact with some in captivity. They’re incredibly intelligent and engaging animals.

Turkey Vultures. There’s something incredible about them that draws me in.

They really are remarkable, and they can become quite friendly if you rescue or rehabilitate them.

Koalas and pandas are both so beautiful to me.

Absolutely, they’re both adorable. Just a heads up though—koalas have to be careful with chlamydia.

A good reminder to always practice safe wildlife interactions!

Penguins, capybaras, and pangolins are my favorites. I’d never own them as pets, but I’d help rehabilitate them if needed.
