Become an animal sponsor

Surgeon fish, bonobo, prehensile-tailed porcupines or chuckwalla: the needs of our zoo inhabitants are as unusual as their names. Here at Frankfurt Zoo, we offer our many different animal species a home that is as species-appropriate and close to nature as possible. That costs money, a lot of money, and on top of that, many enclosures now urgently need to be renovated. Nevertheless, we would like to offer our animals a couple of extras. That is why we are looking for sponsors for all our animals.
