Select Adoption Type

Our zoo in Hampshire is home to a colony of Humboldt penguins. When you choose to adopt a penguin, you are expressing your support and love for these amazing animals. Adopting a penguin helps to care for our penguins at Marwell Zoo and supports our important conservation work in the UK and around the world.

 

 

 

Marwell Zoo is owned and operated by registered conservation charity Marwell Wildlife and is dedicated to protecting wildlife under the endangered species act. Our conservation takes us around the world and contributes to regional and global conservation strategies. You can support our important work in a number of ways, including by adopting a penguin or with one of our amazing animal experiences.

Humboldt penguins have a special gland that allows them to drink both seawater and fresh water. This gland concentrates the excess salt which drips out of their beaks, making it appear as if they are sneezing as it drips off their beaks.

Adopting a penguin from Marwell Zoo couldn’t be easier. Just choose which level of adoption you prefer – standard, premium, or child – and fill in the above adoption form with a few details.

As well as allowing you to support penguins, our adoption packages include a number of exciting goodies. Your adoption pack includes an adoption certificate, zoo ticket, animal fact sheet, and more, depending on which level of animal adoption you choose.

Choosing to adopt an animal is a wonderful way to show your support for wildlife and is a perfect gift for animal lovers. Whether you choose to adopt penguins or another animal, it will make a big difference.
