Who knew Calvin Coolidge owned a hippo?

For your enjoyment: List of United States Presidential Pets, on Wikipedia. The best ones are Herbert Hoover's two alligators, Calvin Coolidge's entire zoo (seriously! He owned lion cubs!), and the fact that Teddy Roosevelt owned a badger named Josiah.

I'm a little concerned about John Adams' dog Satan. Uh, weird.

Yeah, that's more than a little creepy. Both of the Adamses seemed to be a little odd with the pets; did you notice that the only pets that John Quincy Adams had were alligators and silkworms?
