Some animals that are typically banned as pets in the US include big cats (such as lions, tigers, and leopards), primates (such as chimpanzees and monkeys), certain reptiles (such as alligators and crocodiles), and certain birds (such as birds of prey like eagles and hawks). These bans are in place due to safety concerns for both the animals and humans, as well as the risk of introducing non-native species into the environment.
