Nowadays it is a sort of fashion habit to give to your beloved and relatives some exotic gifts. Some people choose ancient vases or carpets, while others love to give expensive cars or real estate objects, still others prefer exotic animals. Believe me, sometimes it results cheaper to purchase a car than an exotic animal because they cost a fortune. That is why I suggest you a list of Top Expensive Animals in the World people really buy.

1.    DeBrazzas Monkey for $7000. There is no surprise that monkeys can be popular pets due to their hyper active and funny behavior. Locally known as swamp monkeys, they are often found in wetlands in central Africa. It is very hard to find due to its good hiding abilities, and so there is not an accurate species count. That must be an important factor than influences the price.

2.    Hyacinth Macaw for $6500-$12.000. Parrots are a common pet for us, but not everyone can boast of having a macaw, especially a Hyacinth one. Native to central and eastern South America, the Hyacinth Macaw, or Hyacinthine Macaw, is the largest macaw and the largest flying parrot species in the world.

3.    Tiger Python for $15.000. I sincerely advise you to watch the video because you will never see something like this neither in the circus nor in the zoo. Two subspecies are currently recognized: the nominat subspecies and the Burmese Python.The nominate subspecies mainly described here is limited to Southern Asia, is generally lighter colored than the Burmese Python and reaches usually 3 metres (9.8 ft).

4.    Chimpanzee for $60.000-$65.000. Frankly speaking, I love these cute animals. They can be true friends. And not every person can boast of intelligence they have.

5.    White Lion $138.000. The greatest population of white lions are in zoos where they are deliberately bred for color. The population of the white lion is unknown but the most recent count was in 2004 and 30 were alive.

Many books and movies are dedicated to horses. This smart animal is a symbol of grace, devotion and diligence. Horses even have different characters, depending on the type of their higher nervous activity, that correspond to the human types of characters: they can be sanguine, phlegmatic, choleric or melancholic horses.

The first horse was tamed 7500 years ago and since that time it has been the mankind’s companion everywhere – at work as well as at leisure. They are indispensable in agriculture and industry; they are also used in military service and participate in some kind of sports. Horses help people to get over some illnesses. Horse riding is good for stomach and joints. It improves posture and the work of lungs, lessens the risk of having a hypertension and cardiac infarction.

Horses are known for their quick-wittedness. Sometimes it can take them come 5 or 10 minutes to learn a new trick – of course if the owner of the horse knows how to handle the learning process correctly. For example, Bess loves to ride a car and watch TV, she brings her master a beer when asked and covers herself with a blanket when she goes to sleep on a bed.



Tricks that can be done by horses are numerous – that’s why horses often participate in different shows, like Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede and work in circuses. People will never stop adoring these beautiful animals. Horses are friendly and funny: you can search for ‘horses funny videos’ instead of ‘manly funny videos’, and you’ll be rolling with laughter. There are a lot of stories about them, they are considered to be noble animals and their image is a part of logos and advertisements of many well-known brands and companies.

People will never stop admiring cats: the way they walk, the way they play or the way they hunt. From simple domestic cats – to powerful tigers and majestic lions – they all possess a simple but unattainable grace, and black panther is, probably the best example. Black panther is a black color variation of an animal we call a panther. But in different countries different species bear this name. When we’re talking about panther in North America, we mean a cougar, while for Latin America panther stands for jaguar, and in other regions it is the second name of a leopard. But while existence of black leopards and jaguars are proved – there is no such certainty about black cougar that is supposed to inhabit North America.

There are no proved cases of truly black cougar though people from such states as Kentucky, South and North Carolina, Kansas, Texas and Nebraska report the sightings of black panthers. Biologists and breeders consider black cougar to be a myth they suppose that people misidentify the animal they see. In Florida two dark furred bobcats were caught. Their fur seemed to be black but at closer examination it turned out to be of chocolate and mahogany tint. Also there exists another species – jaguarundi, that looks like a cougar and has a dark fur. So, probably there are no black panthers in the North America. Nevertheless, Black Panthers exist in the folklore of many Indians and together with an owl it symbolizes Death. Also there are a lot of video clips that tend to multiply our doubts. It can be compared with the problem of existence of the Bigfoot - nobody knows for sure. May be the black panther myth is not a myth at all?
