It has a very spacious enclosure that extends over at least 2 hectares with grass, swimming pool and waterfall, which is a more than ideal enclosure for a private tiger. He says a license is required to keep big cats as pets in Arizona (and he KEEPS the tiger legally, he says), but I`ve read on your other centers and various websites that Arizona prohibits big cat ownership. I wonder if the laws were more lenient and if he was a grandfather? Pennsylvania does not list exotic animals that are legal to own without a permit. Arizona considers greyhounds, also known as wolf hybrids, to be pets, so they are legal. It would have to be proven that the animal is a hybrid and not a “pure wolf,” although most or all private wolves contain dog DNA.

It is strange that members of the family Erinaceidae, which makes up the hedgehog family, are explicitly excluded from the short list. This sounds pretty silly because tenrecs, a species unrelated to hedgehogs but very similar in appearance and size, are illegal in the state.
