He notes a hypothetical $10,000 bid for a healthy, half grown gorilla could be recouped by crowds, but explains gorillas thrive only in their native marshy West African strip and die away from that habitat. He adds prices for other animals including a two year old chimpanzee 400 to 500, African monkey 2, baboon 200 to 250, giraffe 4,000, hippopotamus 3,500, lion 1,000 and Bengal tiger 900.
