There is no doubt that the most common pets are dogs and cats, but have you ever stopped to think that your ideal friend might be of a very different species? Rabbits, birds, lizards... These are some of the little animals that have become popular out there, making the adoption of wild animals gaining more and more space in Brazil.
Because they have particular habits and characteristics that often differ from more conventional pets, wild and exotic animals need greater responsibility from the tutor and prior research, so you guarantee that you will be able to meet the needs of your new friend, in addition to offer you adequate space and lots of love.
If you are looking for an unconventional companion, who can live with you for more than ten years, intelligent and playful, a monkey may be a good option. This animal is usually very attached to its owner, likes to draw attention with games, in addition to being extremely cute!
Before adopting a monkey, don't forget to consult the standards established by the Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama) for wild breeding. It is very important that the animal has already been born in captivity and has its origin legalized, so we will know that it lives in good conditions and that it is not the result of contraband, which harms the mammal's life.
In addition to adequate space, varied food and toys to play with, your new pet will need a name. Therefore, PeritoAnimal has separated some options of monkey names that can help you!
