PRLog - Global Press Release Distribution Whipsnade is ‘Team Jacob’ ZSL Whipsnade Zoo has introduced some new blood to its adoption scheme for Halloween, with a storybook-inspired mystical animal…Jacob the wolf. Oct. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- Named after the Native-American werewolf character in Stephanie Meyer’s ‘Twilight’ series, Whipsnade’s Jacob may not be a mythical creature (that we know of…) but he is eerily similar to his Twilight namesake with his boyish charms and loyal personality. Part of the pack of European grey wolves that call the Zoo home, Jacob the wolf is the alpha-male of the group, with his very own ‘Bella’ in the form of the beautiful female Ophelia. Luckily at Whipsnade he has no vampires to compete with – but he still enjoys asserting his dominance with his impressive howling skills… ‘Twi-hards’ will love the opportunity to adopt their very own Jacob, which will be on sale from Monday 25 October. For the great value price of £24, adopters get a free ticket to visit ZSL Whipsnade Zoo to see him, a subscription to ZSL’s Wild About magazine and regular email updates from Jacob’s keepers. As ZSL Whipsnade Zoo is part of the Zoological Society of London, an international animal conservation charity, adopters of Jacob will be helping to support wildlife around the world. - ENDS - Notes to Editors For more information please contact Rebecca Smith at [email protected] or on 0207 449 6236 High resolution images are available on request B-Roll footage available on request Howling sound effects available on request ZSL Founded in 1826, the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) is an international scientific, conservation and educational charity: our key role is the conservation of animals and their habitats.
