10 Celebrities Who Own Unusual Pets

Celebrities love their pets. They also love to get showy with their pets. And that includes adopting WEIRD animals. Here are 10 examples::

1. Kristen Stewart – Wolf-Hybrids

She’s basically living out Twilight in reverse. Props for her passion, but owning part-wolf animals is definitely not for the faint of heart, or faint of neighborly patience. She had to go to court against a guy who didn’t like her choice of pet, but she’s not doing anything illegal.

2. Kirstie Alley – 14 Lemurs

That’s not a pet collection, that’s a small forest exhibit. At least her lemur obsession stemmed from conservation work—not just a quirky impulse.

3. Salma Hayek – Owl

Naming her owl after her husband’s luxury brand group (Kering) is peak glamorous-weird. The mental image of her casually walking around with an owl on her head? Pure gothic fashion goals.

4. Paris Hilton – Kinkajous

They’re super cute, super unpredictable, and very much not meant for your Beverly Hills bedroom. The name “Baby Luv” is so Paris—until Baby Luv bites, and Paris needs a tetanus shot.

5. Leonardo DiCaprio – Tortoise

Of course Leo picked an eco-friendly, slow-living companion. Low-maintenance, long-living, and practically immortal—kind of like Leo’s career.

6. Tyga – Tiger

Illegal tiger ownership feels very on-brand for a rapper trying to flex. The tiger’s name? Not known. The ending? Predictable: animal shelter.

7. Ice-T – Shark Tank

A shark tank in a home studio screams “villain lair.” Sadly, it’s no longer there. But the idea of Ice-T laying down tracks next to circling predators is pretty metal.

8. Tracy Morgan – Giant Octopus

$400K for an octopus named Bwyadette? That is art. Morgan said the octopus helps him write jokes. Now we kind of need to see its Netflix special.

9. Nicolas Cage – Cobras and Beyond

This guy didn’t just own exotic pets—he curated a full-on apocalypse starter pack. The bulletproof glass cobra setup sounds less like a home and more like a Bond villain’s den.

10. Vanilla Ice – Wallaroo

He had a wallaroo. Of course he did. And of course it got too big for his house. That’s the most ‘90s rapper sentence ever.
