exotic =  From another part of the world; foreign:
Intriguingly unusual or different; excitingly strange....
 
We have felt for many years that ferrets are misclassified as exotic and
have been trying to get them removed from the exotic list.  It would be
in the best interest of the ferrets if you would have them listed as you
do the horses, reptiles, birds, dogs and cats in your new general pet
hobbist chat room.
 
Duke-for the ferret's sake
