President Calvin Coolidge ,who served 1923-1929, kept two pet raccoons in the White House that he would walk or carry around the grounds. His wife, Grace, may have been the actual owner of the raccoons. Their names were reported to be Rebecca and Horace.

Opossums or simply 'possums' are a kind of marsupials that are quite common in the Western Hemisphere. They can grow as big as a domestic cat and are generally omnivores. The US president who had this curious animal as a pet was Benjamin Harrison, who had a couple of opossums, called Mr. Reciprocity and Mr. Protection, living under his wing.
