The ZooCare Adopt a Species program helps us provide exceptional care to over 4,000 Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo animals. With your support and symbolic adoption, we feed our animals specially designed diets, and create enrichment activities that encourage the behaviour a species would display in the wild.
