 ANIMAL
ADOPTION
The Animal Adoption Programme at the Highland Wildlife
Park helps us in our vital conservation work and in
keeping our animals healthy and happy! Your support
helps towards the costs of feeding, providing naturalistic
and stimulating enclosures, and any veterinary costs
for your chosen species.
ANIMAL ADOPTION - A Wild Gift Idea!
Animal Adoption is an unusual
gift and a unique way to contribute to the costs of
keeping and feeding the rare and endangered animals
in the Highland Wildlife Park’s care. It also
helps further The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s
vital conservation, education and research work.
There are over 100 different animal
species to adopt at the Highland Wildlife Park and Edinburgh
Zoo, ranging from the wolf, snow monkey and Scottish
Wildcat at the park to the chimpanzee, king penguin,
pygmy hippo and rainbow lorikeet at the Zoo.
Starting at a minimum donation
of £40 - you can adopt any animal species, at
any level, for a whole year - a Przewalski’s Horse
costs no more than a dung beetle! Simply choose which
animal you would like to adopt, choose your level of
adoption and then fill in the application form which
can be acquired from the Adoption Department at Edinburgh
Zoo or on-line (see link at the bottom of page).
