The cultures in the world are colorful, which need us to know more about it ! Get out of China, Embrace the world ! * 美国人与宠物 In America, there are more households with pets than those with children. At least 43 percent of U.S homes have pets of some sort. Exotic creatures, such as monkeys, snakes and even wolves, find a home with some Americans. More common pets include tropical fish, mice and birds. But the all-time favorites are cats and dogs, even at the White House.
