The National Zoological Park in Delhi is all set to explore schemes in order to launch an adoption option for its inmates, claim several reports.

And the practice isn't new, zoos across India have already launched schemes where a citizen or corporate firm can adopt an animal.

This is how you can adopt an animal from the zoo:

1 A person can choose an animal and ‘adopt’ it after paying a sum fixed by the zoo authorities.

2 The money will be used spent by the zoo to buy food, medicines and other care expenses of the animal.

3 To reward their gesture, the person’s name will be displayed on the cage, an adoption certificate will be given with a free entry to the zoo for a year,

That's not all, the adopter can celebrate birthdays of the animals in the zoo states the HT report. The idea was conceptualized by the Union environment and forest minister, Harsh Vardhan, a few weeks ago.

How cool is that!
