Lop Eared Rabbit
Lop rabbit or lop-eared rabbit refers to any rabbit with ears that droop, as opposed to being carried erect. A number of rabbit breeds are characterized by such lop ears. Abnormalities in the skull of a half-lop rabbit were studied by Charles Darwin in 1868.
Tricolour Guinea Pig
Tricolours are guinea pigs with patches consisting of three different colours, with dark or pink eyes depending on their coat. They ideally have square patches that don’t overlap the line of the centre of their back.
Corn Snake
The corn snake is a North American species of rat snake that subdues its small prey by constriction. It is found throughout the southeastern and central United States. Their docile nature, reluctance to bite, moderate adult size, attractive pattern, and comparatively simple care make them commonly kept pet snakes.
Bearded Dragon Lizard
Pogona is a type of reptile that has eight lizard species which are often known by the common name bearded dragons. The name "bearded dragon" refers to the "beard" of the dragon, the underside of the throat, which can turn black for a number of reasons, most often as a result of stress.
Hermann's Tortoise
The natural habitat of Hermann’s tortoise includes Mediterranean evergreen and oak forests with arid, rocky hill slopes and scrubby vegetation, as well as herbaceous scrub and grassy hillsides. The natural climate tends to be moist during the spring and fall but very dry in the summer.
Hooded or Dumbo Rat
Dumbo mice are probably the cutest mice you will ever see. They are called ‘Dumbo mice’ because they have large ears, just like Dumbo the elephant. This type of mouse are also called Gremlin mice sometimes, but this is not entirely accurate. Gremlin mice have one ear further down the side of their head, and their other ear in the normal place.
Call Duck
The Call Duck is a bantam breed of domesticated duck raised primarily for decoration or as pets. Call ducks look similar to some other duck breeds, but are smaller in size. Call ducks were initially used in hunting, where their own calls and quacks would attract wild ducks towards the hunter's guns.
