Best Answer

Prior to becoming president, Jefferson accepted a gift from Robert Morris, financier of the Revolution. In 1795, the son of a ram smuggled out of Spain by the captain of one of Morris's ships arrived at Monticello, where he exercised sole dominion over the sheep pastures for seven years and was succeeded by his own offspring.

While president, Thomas Jefferson received some unusual pet presents when he sent several expeditions out west to explore some land the U.S. had just purchased from France (the Louisiana Purchase). He asked them to send back some samples of what they found. They didn't just send plants; Captain Zebulon Pike sent two grizzly bear cubs. When they outgrew their cages, they roamed around the White House lawn with the peacocks, partridges, and mockingbirds.
