Elephants Going Up In Price This Spring
An animal importer notes a five foot elephant costs 1400 this spring versus 1200 two years ago. Elephants grow scarcer with settlement, prices rising. More small elephants are imported as they are cheaper to begin with and easier to transport. Showmen favor young elephants for training and appeal, as elephants are hardy, long lived, and increase in value with growth.
