Cute undomesticated animals

After finding about their excruciatingly painful poison thorns in their hind legs this would be a huge nope for me.
Look at this adorable boy! He'd just got out of the water where he'd been playing with a ball at the zoo, then he went and chilled by this tree. How can you not want to give them belly rubs? (It might be a girl can't say that I know)
African hedgehogs ate totally domesticated. I owned one as a kid. Illegal to own in some states like CA though, and I have no idea why :/ They are basically spiny guinea pigs.
Kakapo (Owl Parrot) are adorable and super endangered.
Sad that their mating schedule just sucks :/
I love squirrels. There was outside work being done to restore insulation on the building I live in last year, and it went on throughout the entire year. Every day, sat at my home desk, I'd hear rattling outside and it'd be squirrels darting around it. I made pals with them by putting out different foods for them, and they'd come by every morning at around 8:30 and wait for food. Now the scaffold is gone and they don't come back. Kind of sad but that's life.
Omg those bouncy tails and squeeks! I like how the family sticks close together to look like a larger creature. Skunks are super cute but just get a bad rep :( The only ones I see here are on the road...
Sadly that's what poachers are doing in real life. Asia is crazy for their meat and scales.
Hedgehogs.
My nan used to have 4 cats she would feed outside each night, put down a plate of cat eat for them and they would all gather around it and eat. Then a couple of hedgehogs moved into the garden, they would walk up right besides the cats and all 6 eat gathered around the plate. Sometimes if the cats were late being fed the hedgehogs would walk up to the plates and press the sides down and up, making them bang, basically asking "Where's the food at?".

I would be paralyzed with fear. One jumpy Pepe Le Pew from your bike and clothes permanently stankulated

The Rusty Spotted cat is a contender for sure.
I actually clasped a hand over my mouth.
They're so non-threatening.
Yeahhhh I like admiring their cuteness from afar... Guy on the bike made a good choice to just stay still, let them sniff around, and then let them be on their way.
Cheetahs don't actually seem to be that aggressive to humans! I've seen one mild attack on a lady, and it was called off by the handler swatting its head. Otherwise they kinda laze around and hop on vehicles. I think it's the fact that they pour so much energy into hunting they don't have time for us.
Now you want to know what big cat frightens me? Mountain lions. These things do not give a fuck.
IIRC they are the largest big cat species that can still meow and like others said, are pretty chil with humans compared to other species.
Lions and tigers can be really friendly in captivity but literally never turn your back on them as they can pounce on you without notice when you do.
Once when I was in college our art class went to a local private zoo to draw the animals. They had a couple of tigers that we were allowed to go into their enclosure and interact with because it's a private zoo and fuck any sort of safety regulations. After a while I went to do a pencil sketch of a bird on the outskirts of the enclosure, with my back turned to the rest of the group. I vaguely heard some people screaming before I was tackled to the ground by one of the tigers. The handlers quickly came over and dragged the tiger off of me, but I was so stunned that it honesty didn't occur to me until much, much later how close I had come to being potentially mauled to death.
The tigers were totes adorbs, though.
Fuck, glad to hear you were OK.
Part of me would absolutely love to have a big cat if I won the lottery etc and would provide it with perfect care for its needs but it's such a huge risk that it's just not worth it.
This conversation reminds of that one guy whose YouTube channel is him hanging out with and sleeping with Cheetahs.
I would straight up murder if it meant I could have a red panda as a bestie
Owls!
