Michael Jackson is selling his collection of zoo animals on the cheap in an attempt to pay off his massive debts.
The King of Pop has become embroiled in financial difficulties after a series of court cases and out of court settlements.
Jackson has been forced to flog his giraffes, crocodiles, tigers and other exotic creatures which he keeps at his Neverland ranch.
A Jackson insider said: "Michael's fortune is nothing like it used to be. When he refused to pay the staff at Neverland recently, every-one knew he had hit hard times.
"But now he's selling off all his animals for a fraction of their worth. He's looking to raise cash from every avenue and he needs the money quickly."
The musician is so desperate that he is taking bids as low as £6,250 for a pair of giraffes that would usually command £50,000.
He is asking as little as £3,750 for his £15,000 tigers and elephants are on offer for around £9,000.
The sales must be forced through quickly as Jacko has already had a camel, alpaca and llamas repossessed.
