"Adopt"-an-Animal
By symbolically "adopting" an animal at the Detroit Zoo through the "adopt" an animal program, you are helping us care for that animal. Your support lets us provide veterinary treatment, improve exhibits, and sponsor educational classes, seminars, and research expeditions. More importantly, your assistance makes the Zoo’s participation in the Species Survival Plans possible.
