How much do zoos buy giraffes for?

The price of a giraffe can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including the age, sex, and health of the animal, as well as the specific subspecies. In general, zoos typically pay between $15,000 and $50,000 for a single giraffe. However, some rare and endangered subspecies, such as the Masai giraffe, can sell for much higher prices, up to $100,000 or more.
