Celebrities and Their Exotic Pets

Friday October 17, 2003
Recent events with captive tigers has led to a flurry of media interest in exotic pet ownership, including a USA Today item about celebrity ownership of exotic pets. Did you know Elvis had kangaroos and a chimpanzee? Mike Tyson had tigers (now at a refuge), Michael Jackson's ranch is home to a veritable zoo (although his tigers are also at a refuge), and Hugh Hefner actually has a zoo license. There are a couple more listed in the story, but my favorite example is missing: George Clooney is said to be quite devoted to his pot bellied pig, Max.
