It depends on where you live. In many states in the US, it is indeed very illegal to keep an indigenous species (although almost any non-native animal is fair game). This is to prevent the spread of diseases from a pet population into the wild population. You CAN get permits to keep these animals, but in most places it is a very expensive and lengthy process that involves you proving that you are rehabilitating or fostering a wild animal for it's own well-being, not just keeping a cool pet.
