Adopt a Penguin This Christmas

Published by Susan Keeping at 12:57 pm under Animals, zoos Edit This

PenguinThe Edinburgh Zoo is offering unique Christmas gifts this year. You can adopt a number of wild and endangered animals. It doesn’t have to be a penguin, it can be a polar bear, or a dove, or an iguana. Whatever you like.

Adoption will provide food and upkeep of the animal at the Edinburgh Zoo; it will also help various conservation projects funded by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland.

The price of adopting your wild animal  begins at £40 and includes a package containing a certificate and a fact sheet about the animal.  Adopters will also receive invitations to special events at the Edinburgh Zoo. If you do want to adopt an animal this Christmas, for yourself or as a gift, the deadline is December 5th.

    I lived in Edinburgh as a child and went to school at Flora Stevensons for my first couple of school years. I’ve been back once since but can’t place the zoo - where is it in relation to the centre fo town? We lived in Herriot Row so very central

    It’s on Corstorphine Road, 15 minutes off Princes St. It looks like it’s a few minutes east of downtown

    I don’t know Edinburgh that well myself as I’ve never lived there. I lived in the Glasgow area until I was 12.
