國際犀牛基金會eBay拍賣犀牛糞
Here honey, Merry Christmas!!!
Do you want to give a piece of rhino poop to that special one as a gift for this Christmas?
Stumped about what to give that special someone this Christmas? How about some rhino poop? The International Rhino Foundation is auctioning on eBay four pieces of dung from the endangered species and will use the proceeds to fund conservation efforts.
The pieces come from four of the five types of rhino: white, black, Indian and Sumatran. The Javan rhino is so rare that a sample could not be collected.
Each piece is dried, mounted in a clear trophy case and marked with the type of rhino that produced it.
The auction ends Sunday and as of Thursday afternoon bidding had been light, with the top bid for Sumatran rhino poop standing at $500. Black rhino poop was standing at $255, Indian was at $250 and white was at $122.50.
The foundation, which is based at the White Oak Conservation Center, says only about 17,500 rhinos remain in the wild with another 1,200 living in captivity.
正在爲聖誕節送什麼禮物給你的那個他（她）而發愁？來點犀牛糞如何？國際犀牛基金會目前正在eBay上拍賣四塊犀牛糞，拍賣所得將用於保護這一瀕危物種。
這四塊糞便產自四種不同的犀牛，分別是白犀牛、黑犀牛、印度犀牛和蘇門答臘犀牛。由於爪哇犀牛十分稀有，因此未能收集到這種犀牛的糞便樣本。
這四塊幹犀牛糞被放在透明的陳列櫃中，每塊糞便還註明來自哪種犀牛。
該拍賣活動將於本週日結束。截至本週四下午，競拍價尚未達到理想水平，蘇門答臘犀牛糞的當前拍價最高，達到500美元；黑犀牛糞爲255美元，印度犀牛糞和白犀牛糞分別爲250美元和122.5美元。
據位於（佛羅里達）白橡樹保護中心的國際犀牛基金會介紹，目前全球僅存1.75萬隻野犀牛及1200只籠養犀牛。
