8. Paris Hilton’s kinkajou

Imagine being Paris Hilton, a megastar socialite, businesswoman, and devoted pet lover. Amid the Chihuahuas, ponies, and rescue bunnies, one critter stands out from her eclectic pet menagerie – a Kinkajou named Baby Luv. Yes, you read that right! A Kinkajou, a tree-dwelling mammal from the rainforests of Central and South America, was the choice of the globe-trotting diva. Out of all the conventional and unconventional pets, Hilton chose a wild, exotic creature known for its agility, night-owl habits, and unpredictability. Ah, the charm of the unexpected!

While Baby Luv may sound like an adorable stuffed toy, this critter made headlines in 2006 for giving Hilton a souvenir she didn’t ask for – a bite on the leg. Hilton, after her midnight rendezvous with Baby Luv, found herself rushing for a tetanus shot. A Hollywood diva, an exotic pet, a nocturnal mishap – sounds like a plot of a sitcom episode, doesn’t it? Vets suggested that Baby Luv should be put down, but Hilton, in her characteristic fashion, asserted, “I don’t care if it has rabies or not,” firmly dismissing the idea.

It remains unclear whether Baby Luv continues to share Hilton’s palatial ranch. Owning a Kinkajou, after all, is not your everyday pet tale. It’s a wild card entry, full of unexpected scratches, bites, and – if you’re Paris Hilton – occasional trips to the ER. Is it entertaining? Absolutely. Is it practical? Well, as the saying goes, “that’s hot,” or at least, that’s what Paris might say!
