Pedro the penguin

Pedro the penguin

Adopt Pedro, ZSL Whipsnade Zoo's super chilled out black-footed penguin, who also happens to be a female!

Pedro adores Primrose, one of zoos male's penguins. Its quite hard to tell if penguins are male or female when they are born, as you might have guessed!

Penguins generally mate for life, so it must be true love.

By adopting Pedro 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)
