Animal lovers can contribute to animal care and the conservation of wildlife with a symbolic adoption of the zoo’s featured creatures. There are also plans to include animals from Jurong Bird Park, River Safari and Night Safari
Almost everyone in Singapore has visited the Singapore Zoo at least once. As one of the most popular tourist attractions in Singapore, the park also serves as a valuable resource for children and adults alike to see animals up close and learn more about wildlife.
And if you have ever left the park feeling like you want to do more for the animals, now’s your chance.
Adopt an Animal is a new initiative introduced by Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS), allowing guests at the park to symbolically adopt an animal from a selection of 10 featured species: Ben and Bella the African penguins; Coco the Aldabra giant tortoise; Rambo the Eastern grey kangaroo; Matahari the Malayan sun bear; Ah Meng the Sumatran orangutan (the late Ah Meng’s granddaughter); Psota the Pygmy hippopotamus; Ronnie the Rex rabbit; Pedro the California sea lion; Bosco the red-ruffed lemur, and Bunny the two-toed sloth. According to the WRS, the animals were chosen for their strong personalities and charisma.
“The living collection in our parks are animal ambassadors for their wild cousins. After visiting us and making a connection with these species, many have followed up to ask how they can do something for wildlife and make meaningful contributions towards our animals and the conservation work we do around the world,” explained Isabel Cheng, senior director of partnership development at WRS.
