For example, cougars, cheetahs, lynxes and bears... but, as they say, there are exceptions. The heroes of this post were able to make friends with wild animals and live together. But it is important to note that all owners of wild animals from collections strongly recommend not to follow suit. Without professional training skills, even such a cute guy as a raccoon, can turn your life into a nightmare.
