  4) Grace Coolidge's Raccoon
  格里斯·库里奇的浣熊

  我可以带着宠物浣熊上飞机。那只叫瑞贝卡的浣熊起初是被送进白宫当食物的,但总统家人不忍心伤害这么可爱的动物。从此,瑞贝卡要么被第一夫人格里斯·库里奇抱在怀中,要么在总统散步时缠在他肩上。

  13) James Buchanan's Elephant

  The 15th president was given a herd 7 of elephants by the King of Siam. He gave away all but one of them, which he kept at the White House along with a pair of bald eagles.
