All in the title. Wild animal that is as tame as a golden?

You'd obviously be on the hook for the various stuff that comes with any given species. Such as a ton of clean up for an elephant.

Poll to follow.

I was in a cage with a 850 lb Siberian tiger and liked it so my choice is tiger.

While I think grizzly or tiger would be the coolest, you'd be on the hook for feeding them and I think both would be a problem in that regard. Elephant is cool but has the same type of scale issues.

Alligators and chimps just suck, so that leaves the cougar, which is pretty cool in its own right.

It'd be the chimp or mountain lions for me.

Remember, the chimp will be your pal like a golden, not the face eating maniac they actually are.

And cougars are just way cool.

I picked a grizz. A tiger or a cougar would jump our fence and go hunting the neighbors' dogs. A grizz would be content to stay right here as long as I kept it fed.

Possums don't live long enough.

Beavers and Porcupines chew, and are smelly.

Probably a Wallaby or small kangaroo? Maybe a Wombat?

Cougar. I love cats, I love big cats. I'd have voted tiger, but they get way too big for house pets. I've seen enough large cat videos to know big cats behave similarly to house cats, and I don't want a 600lb tiger trying to sleep on the back of my couch, nor do I want to try to get one off my bed so I can go to sleep

Eta: if we opened answers up beyond the poll options, I'd probably go with a red fox or a fennec fox. That or a possum. All illegal to keep as a pet in Kentucky

Can I train the chimp to help out around the house? Maybe reload ammo while I'm at work? If so, gimme the chimp.

If not, I'll take the cougar. I like mean pussy.

yep, and opposable thumbs. He can climb, stronger than fuck, smart, vicious, and if as domesticated as a golden, very rare a golden eats a baby, so a chimp would be my pick.

ETA: and you would have a trained trunk monkey. LOL...I loved those commercials.

Cougar was my first thought, until I remembered that cats are assholes.

I wouldn't want a grizzly bear, but wouldn't mind a smaller black bear for a pet. They already act like big puppy dogs when playing in the wild, so I could see having a domesticated one for a pet.
