Penguins are becoming quite popular. The animals have starred in a number of movies, and those at local zoos don't seem to be afraid of visitors. There is still some mystery about the penguin, and some of its species are in danger of becoming extinct. The London Zoo is hoping to help care for its black-footed penguins through an adoption program. Visitors can make a donation to help run the zoo. Not only does the zoo benefit, but those who adopt penguins are given exclusive information about a particular penguin. Donors also have the opportunity to learn more about these wondrous creatures.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Decide how much money you would like to donate to the London Zoo. Be generous and observe the changing minimum when it comes to adopting the penguin. It's better to double the minimum donation when adopting the penguin. Give what you can to this worthwhile cause.

  2. Step 2

    Know what to expect from your donation. Each adoption comes with a picture of the penguin and an adoption certificate. You will receive gifts for your donation, including a free visit to the zoo and a subscription to a zoological magazine. The more money you donate, the more items you will receive, such as additional admissions to the zoo or even a private tour.

  3. Step 3

    Choose a date for your adoption certificate. Many people like to give the adoption as a present and will choose a corresponding date, such as a birthday or anniversary date.

  4. Step 4

    Specify whether the penguin adoption is for yourself or a friend.

  5. Step 5

    Work with the London Zoo to make your donation. You can use the official Website to adopt a penguin. You will need to sign in. You'll then need to provide your address and a credit card number. You may also call the London Zoo and send your donation via regular mail. You may also visit the zoo in person to make adoption arrangements.

  6. Step 6

    Visit your penguin. When you visit the London Zoo, ask a zoo keeper to point out which penguin you adopted. Many have identifying marks, and you can be delighted when you recognize your particular penguin.

Tips & Warnings
  • While many penguins are not afraid of humans, you will want to keep your distance because they could bite.
