Maktoum the cheetah
Adopt Maktoum, ZSL Whipsnade Zoo's playful young cheetah.
Running, chasing and generally zooming around, Maktoum is well aware he is made for speed.
However, he is a laidback cheetah and prefers a more gentler pace of life.
But he's definitely full of life, especially around dinner time.
By adopting Maktoum 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)
