We've talked about hyenas before on Lefty's Random Dog Thread, as I recall. Actually, if raised from cubs, they make extremely loyal and loving companions. They are quite intelligent, even beating chimpanzees on some team problem solving tests. They have been trained to do many things dogs can do. They can make good hunting "dogs" and have even been trained to do livestock protection!

The drawback to domesticating hyenas is that they have positively enormous appetites. An adult hyena can eat 30 pounds of meat in a day! The Ancient Egyptians seem to have tried to domesticate them, but the problem of feeding them may have been why they gave up the effort.

What's the point of having a cat that can't purr?

Seems like I remember an episode of Cribs where some rapper had a tiger chained up on his property. I can't imagine that it was really his, any more than some of them really own the cars or houses that they're showing off. He was kind of pointing at it from a distance, like "See my tiger?" Mike Tyson, OTOH, famously owned a white tiger on which he was spending about $4k/month, not counting insurance. Idiots, both.

I totally don't see the point of owning the exotic animals. Those burmese pythons will be quite a challenge to eliminate.

I can see some of them dropping out of trees and eating hunters.

My gramps had a pet cougar that he saved from being put down. He had it in a huuuuuge fenced in area around his house right on UNC's Campus.

Some female Burmese Pythons can get to 24 feet and 400 pounds. However, most of the Burmese Pythons are about 10 feet, which probably wouldn't make them too dangerous to an adult male human although plenty dangerous to small children.

More agressive and dangerous than the Burmese Python is the Reticulated Python, which has also been found loose in South Florida. These are estimated to have killed and eaten more people than all other large constrictors combined. It is the longest, but not the heaviest, snake, with some females attaining a length of 33 feet.

The African Rock Python (which has recently been divided into two species--Northern African Python and Southern Python) is also more aggressive than the Burmese Python. It has been found loose in South Florida. However, it is not common in the pet trade because it has an even worse disposition than the Reticulated Python. There is some fear that the African Pythons may hybridize with the closely related Burmese Pythons to produce a race of "super snakes" that are larger, stronger and more aggressive than either of the parent species.
