Top 7 Most Dangerous Animals People Keep as Pets

Crocodile Monitor

This species of monitor lizards are native to New Guinea. They are known to rival the size of another large lizard known as the Komodo Dragon but, in some reported cases, can grow even larger. One of the longest crocodile monitors ever captured reached 13 feet in length. These animals have been protected in the wild but have dwindled in numbers because of deforestation, poaching, and its illegal distribution in the black market. Experts would not recommend them as pets and for a good reason too: they are aggressive and even deadly.
