Paris Hilton surprised people when she began to appear in public carrying a pet Kinkajou named Baby Luv. Her exotic pet made headlines in 2006 after attacking Hilton. She even had to have a tetanus shot after Baby Luv bit her leg. After the attack, veterinarians suggested she should put her pet down, but she disagreed.

"I said, 'We have to figure out if it has rabies, how do we do that?' And they said, 'We have to cut its head open.' I was like, 'Well is it going to live?' And they said, 'No!' So I was like, 'Then we're not doing that! I don't care if it has rabies or not,'" she said during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel (via Express).

It is unclear if Baby Luv is still living on Hilton's ranch. However, having a kinkajou is not generally a good idea. According to Everyday Health, they are wild animals and can have unpredictable behaviors, such as scratching, biting, and — take it from Paris — injuring their owners.
