How do i adopt a Zoo animal?
We have a range of different animals available for adoption. Simply make your animal selection from the list below and then go on to choose your adoption package.
We have 10 different animals available for adoption. These currently include:
- Adopt an African lion

- Adopt a meerkat
- Adopt a red panda
- Adopt a ring-tailed lemur
- Adopt an Asian short-clawed otter

Adoptions apply to the species rather than individual animals. This is because some of our animals may move to other zoos as part of breeding programmes. If your adopted species moves, we will advise you and you will be given the opportunity to transfer your adoption to another species.
