It’s nice to keep hamsters and parrots at home, but it’s not at all fashionable. Some people are drawn to the exotic, which sometimes costs them a fortune.
A Tibetan Mastiff puppy can be ordered in Moscow for $ 8000 (270 rubles). And this is far from the greatest price for such a beautiful dog. Of course, on “Avito” there are ads in which they offer to buy a puppy of this breed for 000 thousand rubles, but he will not have documents. If a breeder sells a dog cheaply and without pedigree, chances are that the dog will turn out to be local or not at all purebred.
Earlier in the network there was news that a Chinese coal magnate bought a mastiff named Hong Dong for as much as $ 1,5 million. People are spreading big sums in history – the breed is about 5000 years old, before the mastiffs guarded Tibetan monasteries.
Unbelievable, but it is a fact. The rabbit of this breed is one of the most expensive. Judge for yourself – Dutch dwarf fold-eared rabbits pull $ 1000. With an average crawl life span of 10 years, it might not be a bad investment.
New Zealand white rabbits are also especially popular – one such fluffy animal once went up for $ 5000. The largest and most expensive rabbit in the world, Darius, belongs to the same breed, which has a personal bodyguard and is insured for $ 1,6 million.
Recently, it has been fashionable to keep exotic animals at home, for example, snakes. The animal literally performs two functions: it flatters the pride of the owner (no one banged so much money and started a snake at home) and is a talisman against unwanted guests.
So that friends, seeing the photo of your pet, are really sincerely surprised, you can, if you wish, buy the most expensive – the royal python for 340 rubles. Or just an albino python, which will cost 000 rubles. By the way, you will have to fork out for the maintenance of such a snake. But it was worth it, right?
This is the largest and most expensive breed of domestic cats of all that exist today. In fact, savannahs are hybrids of a domestic cat and an African serval, they have long legs, thick spotted hair and peculiar ears reminiscent of their wild ancestors. Savannahs are very smart, they love to swim and walk in the fresh air. The price of one such kitten reaches 400 rubles. In addition to the kitten, do not forget to buy a larger house and stronger furniture.
Oddly enough, but this stag is not only a very popular pet, but also is very expensive. How much you pay for it depends solely on the size of the beetle. Usually its length does not exceed 4-6 cm, if more, then the price is more expensive: for example, one Japanese breeder bought a stag beetle 7,5 cm in size for … $ 89 thousand (3 million rubles). This price can be justified, perhaps, only if the beetle turns everything it touches into gold. Or goes to the toilet with diamonds.
We used to think that aquarium fish are cheap pleasure. It turns out that this is not entirely true. Aravana, or dragon fish, costs $ 80, and not all private collectors can afford to buy it, but you can admire the aravana in zoos and public aquariums. The same fish, if it is of an unusual white color for its species, can cost five times more – about $ 000.
Imagine, it’s a shame if your savannah cat climbed into an aquarium with a fish.
The largest parrot in the world is also one of the most expensive. The length of its body is about 1 m, the wings are up to 40 cm, and the tail is from 50 to 60 cm. In the wild, hyacinth macaws are not often found, more than 10 thousand birds were caught and sent for sale at one time. The price of one such bird reaches $ 12 thousand.
Another parrot that will cost its owner a tidy sum. The initial price fluctuates around $ 16 thousand, and it is very troublesome and costly to maintain it: the cockatoo easily bites the rods of the cage, so you will have to build reliable mansions for it.
Are you used to making fun of funny monkeys? Meanwhile, there are not so few people who want to have a chimpanzee at home. People are mainly attracted by their great intellectual abilities – many want to teach them some tricks or even play chess, which is not so incredible, by the way. But such a pet can be very, very expensive, at least $ 60 thousand.
She is a lion dog, which is one of the most expensive and at the same time rare dogs. This breed was bred in France, but by 1960 the number of lion dogs had declined sharply – to such an extent that they were even entered into the Guinness Book of Records. A Lyon-Bichon puppy costs $ 4-8 thousand.
