Now if only they could talk...

Whether you’re desperate for a Raccoon to follow you everywhere you go or want a Cobra to be your best bud, you need to learn their likes and dislikes as well as how to approach each animal. 

While some critters don’t mind your presence, others will repeatedly run away and entice you into chasing them. There’s a lot to remember, but it soon becomes second nature, especially for your personal favorites.
