6. Frida Kahlo’s Menagerie of Monkeys and More
Mexican artist Frida Kahlo surrounded herself with an eclectic array of pets, including spider monkeys, parrots, and hairless Xoloitzcuintli dogs. Her monkey Fulang Chang, often seen in her self-portraits, became a symbol of tender companionship. Kahlo’s personal zoo not only provided inspiration for her paintings but also reflected her passion for indigenous animals and culture.
