Ricky the rockhopper penguin
Adopt Ricky, ZSL London Zoo’s only rockhopper penguin.
The perfect gift for anyone potty about penguins!
He loves to be the centre of attention.
If he thinks he's not getting enough fish, he will hop around in front of the keepers making noise until he does!
Tickets are also available to meet Ricky on our popular Meet the Penguins encounters.
By adopting Ricky for yourself or as a gift, you will be directly supporting 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)
