Ken Walker of Paxton holds a male fennec fox in a pen in his backyard. Walker is an exotic animal broker.
PAXTON – Ken Walker lives in a two-story house on Paxton's east side and keeps two cats and a dog as pets.
But his online business offers a pair of white rhinos or tiger cubs, and about 30 kinds of other unusual animals.
Walker is an exotic animal broker, a middleman between the people who want to sell exotic animals and those who want to buy them. Almost none of the animals come through Paxton.
