I think it's valid if it's through the Wildlife Fund or a legitimate organization like that. They have packets of iinformation at the National Zoo about it, so I'd assume they're real.
I want to adopt a snow leopard! ![]()

hmmm, well let's see here.
![]() ![]() One of my good friends at school had a loris and our dorm also had one for a while. These things are small enough to cling to your wrist or sit on your shoulder. Their fingers are like little suction cups. They eat bugs and stuff so they're nice to have around the house. Nocturnal mainly, so they are sleepy in the day. ![]() Lastly, at my high school we had a baby orangutan for a month or so. It wasn't something we went out looking for. Some poachers came in from the jungles trying to sell it, having shot the mother to catch the baby. ![]() Anyways, we called him Jack and he was a precious little thing. Baby orangutans have to be hanging onto someone at all times, so he was quite literally a handful! My science teacher was his primary caretaker so he had to even sleep with the little thing cuz it couldn't stand to be alone for so much as a second. lol. The great part was when he taught classes. We'd have Jack in the classroom...usually being held by one of us girls until he'd mess his diaper, let me tell you...changing a diaper on a very STRONG (these things are all muscle), clingy monkey who doesn't want to be separated from you for a minute is not real fun. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Its my dream to be with whales.............. And Sula, my mummy wants a hedghog! ![]() ![]()

I have a Dolphin called Sutor at the moment...
__________________..and so does half the UK. I used to have Bubbles but I found out that nearly all my friends had Bubbles too so I changed Dolphins! lol I could have adopted a Whale too. It's through the Whale and Dolphin Society. You get a little certificate and a newsletter every few months updating you on where they are in the world etc. ![]() Jo
