What is the weirdest pet to reside in the White House? First you would need to define weird and that could vary from matter of opinion so for the sake of simplicity let's just name a few of the oddities. Teddy Roosevelt was know for his menagerie but there were several others with exotic animals. Coolidge had 12 dogs,a few birds,a goose,a couple of cats,raccoons,a donkey,a bobcat,a black bear,a wallaby and a pygmy hippo. Roosevelt had dogs,horses,snakes,kangaroo rats,badgers,cats,a squirrel,guinea pigs,a lion,hyena,wildcat,bears,parrots,a zebra,a lizard and a pig. JFK had several dogs,a cat,a canary,parakeets,ponies,horses,hamsters and a rabbit named Zsa Zsa. According to the stories Zsa Zsa was gifted to the first family by a magician when she outgrew his magic hat. It was also said that Zsa Zsa could play the first five bars of "The Star Spangled Banner" on a toy trumpet.
