"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanI do not understand the difference with Unusual Pets for Unusual People. Maybe Cool Pet is just a cool pet and Unusual Pets for Unusual People is the subtrope cool pet + cool master? (But the description of Cool Pet also links the pet with the master's personality.) Anyway, I do not think it is necessary to have 2 tropes, so the tropes should be merged.
Edited by CyrilPMGI did some trimmings in Real Life examples. Seemed too detailed. This has been cut. If you feel it shoudl be put back, feel free to do so.
However, there are exceptions to this, and a few have been released in such numbers that they have managed to establish breeding populations and gone on to become major pests. Notable examples include goldfish and carp in many parts of the US and Australia; Indian Mynahs in parts of Australia; Burmese Pythons in Florida; and Red-Eared Slider turtles in the southern and western regions of the US. Many countries and US states ban particular exotic pets, in an attempt to prevent this problem.
To be re-written:
- High on the current cool pet scale (at least in the southern US) are Sugar Gliders, which are basically (extremely high-maintenance) marsupial flying chipmunks.
Per TRS, this is now a disambiguation page.
