What a nifty pet this could be?!
An island fox kit nestled in the brush
The island fox (Urocyon littoralis) is a small fox that is endemic to six of the eight Channel Islands of California. Since they are threatened or endangered, why not breed them as pets? The only issue might be that they are nocturnal, which would be great for someone who sleeps in the day time. If they want to. If they want to.
