May the fourth be with you! Today we celebrate the fact that we can create a Star Wars pun out of a date on the calendar. Speaking of Star Wars, there are definitely creatures in those movies we bet you would have loved to have as pets. From animals that are cute and docile, to ones that we probably wouldn't go near in a thousand years, there's no denying that George Lucas definitely had a creative imagination. For all of the Star Wars buffs out there, these are a few creatures we think it would be awesome to have in real life.
These giant, furry creatures made plenty of appearances in the first trilogy and definitely seem like they would be fun ride. If they did exist, you would need a lot of land for them to wander, but it might take you a while to get anywhere aboard one. You also would probably have to consider getting more than one since they seeme to be pack animals.
Try telling us that you weren’t jealous of Obi-Wan Kenobi's ride in Utapau in Episode Two. The varactyl looks like a an iguana with a bird's head and is able to scale walls and run at very fast speeds. They’re also super obedient, so you'll never have to worry about it running off and leaving you.
Hate having to drive your car during the snowy months? Adopt a Tauntaun! These adorable creatures from Episode Five are gentle and docile, so we're assuming they would be great with kids. The only downside is their smell, but we'd hope that regular baths would remedy that — we hope.
Moving toward the more aggressive side of the scale, Reeks basically look like giant, muscular rhinos that also have two horns sticking out of either side of their faces. They were bred and fed to be more aggressive, but with a little training, we're sure they could be tamed. Imagine taking one of those for a walk down your street!
A nexu is not the kind of creature would want around your kids — or anyone for that matter. Wildly aggressive with razor-sharp claws and teeth and pointy quills along its back, a Nexu seems like the ultimate guard animal. But on second thought, since it could eat you in one swift motion, maybe you wouldn't want this one as a pet.
While we'll never see the day Star Wars animals exist and be pets in common households, let's be thankful for the pets that we do have. At Berkeley Heights Animal Hospital we care for your pets as if they were our own, and even offer free vaccines or a free exam for new patients!
