Spike the African lion
Adopt Spike, ZSL Whipsnade Zoo's friendly king of the jungle!
Far from being a cowardly lion, Spike is really relaxed around people he knows.
He often comes up and rubs his head against the fence.
He’s also had cubs who are now fully grown and he's still a brilliant father.
By adopting Spike 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)
