February 9, 2025 – Everybody deserves a little love and Scovill Zoo is giving you a chance to adopt some of their….less than lovable creatures.
For your special valentine…or maybe for your ex-valentine, you can (symbolically) adopt a hissing cockroach, naked mole rat or a turkey vulture. The promotion includes an adoption certificate as well as a valentine photo of your animal and a painted footprint from your chosen animal.
Cost is $20 for a hissing cockroach, and $25 for a naked mole rat or turkey vulture. You can call the zoo at 217-421-7435 to seize this special Valentine’s Day deal. This gift can be picked up at the zoo or shipped to you.
It’s the perfect valentines gift for an animal lover….or your EX-love who you consider to be an animal. Either way, proceeds will support programs at Scovill Zoo.
