While still engaged to Pete Davidson, Ariana Grande decided that she wanted a pig. “An hour later, it was just there,” Pete recalled of the couple’s pet, Piggy Smallz. Unfortunately, their romance did not last and while she gave back the $93,000 ring, Ariana kept the pig. Piggy Smallz is already a star having made an appearance in a video for her song Breathin.

The heiress is known for her love for animals and has had a variety of them from dogs to pigs. Last year, she offered a glimpse of the lavish two-storey housing for her dogs complete with air-conditioning and heating. One of her more unusual pets would, however, be her pet kinkajou Baby Luv.

Kirstie is willing to go a little wild with her pet choices. She’s the proud owner of 14 ring-tailed lemurs. She said in an interview, “I started out having lemurs because they are great animals, and I was very interested in conservation in Madagascar (where they are from) and saving rainforests and forests.” She has warned though that lemurs live for a long time so it’s a huge responsibility.

Reese may post lots of pictures of her pet dogs Pepper, Hank and Lou Ann but she also has two miniature donkeys, Honky and Tonky. “They’re just docile and sweet,” the actress told Ellen DeGeneres while on her show. “I call them badonkadonks.” She also has two pigs, three goats and 20 chickens.

A few years ago, Nicole Kidman and her husband, Keith Urban, purchased some alpacas for their Australian mansion. Kidman and her daughter Sunday often take walks with the pets. “You can walk them around on a leash,” Kidman said in an interview. “They’re pretty...they have the long lashes. Have you seen them? We have a two-year-old who loves them.”
