Would love to hear some input

I'm doing one of my college assignments and need to choose 4 animals and write about their life in the wild compared to life in captivity, I want to do something different from the usual lions/tigers etc but so far have only done 1 animal being an APH.

If anyone has any idea's on what other 3 I could put I would be so grateful, was thinking of doing a brushtail possum but know nothing of their lives in captivity, so yes if anyone has suggestions I would be very grateful.

Skunks, polecats and errrrrrr reticulated pythons

Skunks, Retic and a lizard, maybe a Bosc monitor or another species of monitor

Loads to choose from, but I would definitely do Skunks too! Lots of info out their about them, and they're becoming more common as pets!

Raccoons maybe, quite a few people on here have them.
Or foxes maybe but how they are in captivity depends on the breed as much as anything.

what about Ghanian Tiger Snails (Achatina achatina)? just for something differnt i mean i cant imagine in the homeland they'd fine slightly manky lettuce and a cuttlefish hehehehe

Sugar gliders is a good one, in the wild they average 5-6 years, in captivity they can live up to 15! Quite a difference!

Gliders, skunks and raccoons if you need a lizard I would pick a green iguana
