Five Most Expensive Pet Animals in the World

 

Armando Pigeon

A racing pigeon named ‘Armando’ recently sold for 1.7 million pounds. Yes, just one pigeon sold for millions of pounds. The auction house PIPA named ‘Armando’ the best long-haul pigeon. Because of its speed, the pigeon became known as the "Lewis Hamilton of Pigeons" after the winner of British Formula car racer.

Armando, who turned five this year, is now enjoying retirement and has raised many chickens. On this record sale, News Round collected details of some of the most expensive animals that are being presented here.

Tibetan Mastiff

The hairy Tibetan dog could sell for 945,000 pound. The Mastiff became more expensive due to the exposure of China's wealthy class, which increased its value. It is a breed of dog used for hunting in the ancient tribes of Central Asia and Tibet. At least that's the price to pay.

Giant Temple Tuna

A Japanese businessman paid 250,000 pound for a large tuna. He bought it at an auction in Tokyo. Kiyoshi Kimura, known as the "Tuna King", bought the 278 Kg Bluefin Tuna, which is becoming extinct.

The taste of this Bluefin Tuna is considered to be the most delicious for “Sushi” (a traditional Japanese dish). This traditional dish, Sushi, uses raw fish and rice. But many are worried about the future of the Bluefin Tuna.

Durbanville Perfection Sheep

The Durbanville Perfection sheep from Banffshire, Scotland, sold for a record price of 231,000 pound in 2009. It has been declared the most expensive sheep in the world. The reason for its high value is said to be its strong muscles and its structure.

Missy Cow

The Missy cow sold for 1.2 million dollars in 2009. It is said to have cost so much because of its excellent size. Maybe that's true! Who knows!
