Whipsnade is ‘Team Jacob’

ZSL Whipsnade has introduced some new blood to its adoption scheme for Halloween, with a storybook-inspired mystical animal…Jacob the .

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 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.
