I've been a member of the Clown Husbandry community for some time. Currently owning a Rodeo myself. I haven't spoken of it much because my rescue Clown was once in an environment not meant for him and I'm worried if I post pictures people will accuse me of mistreating him (but he is so much better than when I first got him!!) But while I am an experienced clown handler, I'm not an expert on clowns as a whole or other various species of Entertainus and their kin.

Someone in my town moved in with a creature they call a Marionette, which displays many similar characteristics to the pierrot clown visually, while also resembling porcelain and teacup features. But most fascinatingly enough are the strings it drags around attached to its limbs and head. After some research it looks like these 'whiskers' are meant to attach to their mobile nests. I don't know too much of course... But I'm wondering if you know much more about these guys than I do so I can speak with my new neighbor about our beloved little fellas!

Aaa, Marionettes! While I've never met one in person, they're a dream pet for me! Good eye with spotting the similarities to pierrot clowns!

Marionettes are actually not clowns! However, they did evolve alongside them in france, and as a form of camoflauge, naturally mimicked the distinctive, distinguished, charming markings of a typical pierrot (Can you tell that they're some of my favorite clowns? I have a soft spot, what can I say.) This is because marionettes are prey animals, and clowns are far further up the food chain than they are! During evolution, it was advantageous for these clever little friends to appear like a much scarier, bigger creature, such as the clown!

Unlike clown husbandry, marionette husbandry is a rare and suffering art, though it's one filled with so much intrigue that I can't help myself from getting excited about. Modern marionettes have been bred to keep in line with their similarities to clowns! Many marionettes will look like slightly ill, or (because i can't think of a better word) misshapen clowns with those whiskers you noted, connected to their nest!

Most of the time, I think of the Marionette as an indoor pet- They're not very active on their own, and tend to a reserved personality. At night, they hang from their nests, with the strings taught- it doesn't actually matter if the marionette itself is on the ground or not, as long as it's nest is, and it's not in danger of it's strings being cut!

One more thing! As cute as it would be, Clowns and Marionettes should absolutely not be allowed to be around each other! As I mentioned before, Marionettes are reserved, shy, prey animals, and clowns will usually see the marionette as a snack rather than a new friend. No matter how docile you think your clown is, do NOT leave it alone with a marionette.

Thank you so much for sending me the ask! I'd love to see a pic of your rodeo rescue, if you ever want to show off.
