The 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.
