fthlnoecroa
In (he I)ar.
The prlcea of wild animals naturally
fluctuate with the demand. An ex
cessive supply of rhlnocerl would soon
reduco the market value. Five for sale
at any time In tho world would glut
the market, for ono can not sell a rhi
noceros every day. The malntenanco
of wild animals Is costly and they
soon eat their value In food; so that
every day they aro on the huntor'a or
the dealer's hands ha Is losing money.
After the animals are captured they
have to be transported to the coast.
This adds greatly to the coL Deliv
ered at Nairobi or FL Florence, which
are Inland and practically on the Afri
can hunting field, a baby rhinoceros of
the prehensile lipped species will
bring from 75 to 100 sterling, a gi
raffe from 50 to 100 sterling, and a
baby hippopotamus from 50 to 90
sterling; elands and most of the large
antelope from 25 to 40 sterling; ba
boons from 5 to 20 shillings; monkey
about the aame; crocodiles from 5 to
25 shilling; elephants from 75 to
175 sterling; lions and leopards, with
tbo exception of the big black specie
of the latter, from 20 to 35, accord
ing to size and condition. The gorilla,
and the square-muzzled (or so-called
white) rhinoceros can be sold at auc
tion by telegraph. Their value might
run from 1,000 to G,000, according
to the bidding. The square-muzzled
rhinoceros Is fast becoming exterml-
naiea, owing to me ract tnat it Is a
veld animal and feeds In the open,
where It Is easily seen and shot
The above prices are doubled by the
time tho animals reach the coast.
Then there Is the cost of transport
from Africa to Antwerp, Hamburg or
London, with the cost of food and care
added as well as the additional ex
pense of keeping the animals until a
buyer appears on the scene.
Prices In New York, of course, ar
naturally higher. William T, Horn
day, head of the Bronx Zoological
Parle, gives tbo following quotations:
Ordinary black rhinoceros, $4,000;
hippopotamus one year old, 1 2,600;
elephant, two or three years, $2,500;
giraffe, two to threo years, $3,000;
lion cub, $500; leopard, $100; zebra.
$500 to JS00; gorilla, type of monkey,
11.500; gnu, $S00; antelope, from $100
to 1700, according to species; camel,
$300; a python, $10 per foot of length.
Tho longer the animate are In America
the better acclimatized they become,
the higher go their valuations from
two to three times the above figures. A
