3 Cuddly and Affectionate Animals You

Never Knew Existed

1. The Small-Spotted Genet:

Although it may share characteristics similar to a cat, the small-spotted genet is in a class all its own. Found throughout Africa, and parts of the Middle East and Europe, this particular species of genetbecomes quite lovable and affectionate when domesticated. They easily get attached to their caretaker and crave the attention of being held and petted.

2. The Galago:

This small primate is native to continental Africa and is also known by the term bush baby due to its large childlike eyes along with the crying sound it makes. Since bush babies are social by nature and can easily adapt to new environments, they have whimsical personalities and make affectionate pets.

3. The Fennec Fox:

Hailing from the Sahara of North Africa, the unusually large eared fennec fox has a natural curiosity that has resulted in its friendly and affectionate behavior towards humans and other animals. They are playful and like attention, however, because they are hyper and can exhibit a tireless stream of energy, an individual seeking to own one should have boundless vitality to match.
