2. Savannah Cat: $4,000-$10,000
The Savannah Cat is bred by mating the African Serval with a smaller domestic cat. The Savannah inherently has a much more difficult breeding process, because an African Serval is 40lbs and undomesticated and breeding it with a domestic house cat is problematic. Concurrently, the gestation periods between the two animals are different. Due to these factors, the Savannah is an expensive and rare breed of cat.

3. Mona Guenon: $6,000
The Mona Guenon’s natural habitat is within the Western African tropical forests, however this animal is capable of adapting to any forest environment. Therefore, despite special permits and licenses to own this animal, it is not considered an endangered specie.

4. Debrazzas Monkey: $10,000
The DeBrazza’s Monkey is easily recognized by its white beard and yellowish gray fur. The animal will generally live for about 22 years. Though many people do shell out the hefty price for this primate, they become disappointed when the docile and tender babies grow to become unpredictable and hostile adults.

The Hyacinch Macaw of South America is the largest macaw and the largest flying parrot species in existence. It has solid blue feathers, and grows to be anywhere from 3-4 pounds.

9. Chimpanzee: $60,000-$65,000
Chimpanzees are one of the first primates to be kept as pets. Common in African villages, this idea of having Chimps as pets spread out to Europe and America.

10. White Lion Cubs: $138,000
White Lions do exist in the wild but are extremely rare. Their whiteness is as a result of a recessive gene. Breeders have attempted to breed them in captivity but the results are often not good as inbreeding causes the White Lions to be born with debilitating health issues such as lung and respiratory problems and mental retardation.
