provide hope and a
home to thousands of animals.
And it’s not just the animals at ZSL’s Zoos in
London and Whipsnade that we are caring for.
Our conservationists are working in more than
50 countries to help protect animals in the wild.
But all of this wouldn’t be possible without your help.
As a charity we rely entirely on the generosity of our supporters to continue this vital work.
By buying this book, you have made an essential
contribution to help protect animals.
Thank you.

All of the animal facts in this story are true. Everything else is fiction. Any connection to any events that have taken place in London Zoo is purely coincidental.
