Chimpanzees

Much like their tiger counterparts, these wild animals are also a common choice of wild animal pets. They may be irresistibly cute as infants but no human is capable of giving them the constant attention and stimulation they require when they are young. Besides this, they also live for a good 50-60 years and have an IQ that is rather high, making keeping them in a cage or home an extremely inadvisable choice. 

Often, they have been found to grow resentful of discipline and destructive too. It's illegal in a number of places to house non-human primates and for once, we tend to agree with the law.
