Become a Zoo Parent at the Saint Louis Zoo. When you adopt an animal, your donation goes towards the animal's care and daily feeding. For a few dollars, you can pick up the tab for an elephant's 100-pounds-a-day hay habit or keep a sea lion swimming pretty with 25 pounds of fish a day. So why not adopt a Humboldt penguin, an African lion or even an American alligator? Whatever animal you choose, you'll know all your money goes to support your new family member and the entire Zoo.
