Lovebirds for you lover

Finding an unusual and romantic present for your loved one can often be an uphill struggle! At Whipsnade Wild Animal Park the solution is easy - adopt an animal for your special someone and not only will you come up smelling of roses but you'll also be helping to save some of the world's most endangered species.

What better way to express your feelings than by adopting a black-cheeked lovebird, known for their life-long partnership and commitment to each other. On the other hand you could opt for a Siberian tiger and bring out the animal instinct in your partner.

There are so many species to choose from at Whipsnade Wild Animal Park that you can pick the perfect animal to reflect your valentine's personality be it a chimpanzee, a red panda or even a dwarf crocodile!

The money raised from animal adoptions will also contribute towards the animals' upkeep in terms of food, on-going veterinary care and the maintenance of their park habitat as well as going towards helping conserve endangered species throughout the world.

The cost of Animal adoptions is £45 and the adoption will last for one year.

The Animal Adoption pack includes:
*A mounted colour photo of the adopted animal
*An adoption certificate
*A complimentary ticket to Whipsnade to see your adopted animal
*A car sticker and an adoption badge
*Free newsletter subscription for one year
*Animal Adopter's name on the adoption boards situated around the Park

You can make your animal adoption extra special by giving one or more additional adoption gifts:

• T-shirt - £15 - have a picture of your adopted animal printed onto a quality white t-shirt

• Jigsaw - £10 - an extra special and very personal puzzle, sure to give hours of fun

• Round mouse mat £10 - liven up your desk with your very own adoption animal mouse mat
