There are more than 300 species of animals at Zoos Victoria’s three properties – Melbourne Zoo, Healesville Sanctuary and Werribee Open Range Zoo.

Our animal adoptions program aims to keep donors updated about major news about their adopted animals. You can adopt one of the 26 'ambassador' animals listed below.

By adopting an animal you are supporting the work of Zoos Victoria including care of all animal species across the three properties.

To get your adoption started, just click on the animal you would like to adopt.
