Ringo the meerkat
Adopt Ringo, the coolest ‘kat’ at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo who is also a massive fan of the Beatles (he finds them very tasty)!
Ringo is easy to spot from his brothers George, John and Paul, due to his short stumpy tail.
Keepers believe this was due to sibling rivalry when he was younger but like all classic underdog ‘tails’ Ringo has risen through the ranks and is now the leader of the gang.
By adopting Ringo for yourself or as a gift, you will be helping to support ZSL’s conservation work.
Adoption packs are £32
These are posted out in an attractive presentation folder which contains: a welcome letter with fun facts about your animal, personalised certificate, one free zoo ticket, Wild About magazine and a photograph of your animal. (The price includes delivery)
