on 2/7/2006 I recently adopted a penguin from my local zoo. My mom actually did, it was for my birthday in September. I went to see it (I named him Draco, not from harry potter) and actually got to go into the exhibit! I fed Draco fish and my mom and the other visitors got to see me through the glass. I am going to donate yearly what I can afford. Draco is doing well and i am planning to see him in March. I recommend adopting an animal from the zoo because you can disown it at any time (although I'm not going to), so you aren't obligated to keep paying for your animal for the rest of its (or your) life.
