Original text on this topic:
The animals are good mothers and to obain a young one, the mother must first be killed. That is the only way to get one for a zoo, as with the animal's great strength, it is impossible to catch and transport any but the young animals. As it is not easy to raise the young and the distance from capture to the coast is long, the price for these animals is very high.
