Brookfield Zoo Share The Care

Caring for animals and their habitats is central to our mission. A trained and dedicated staff provides the best care possible through a commitment to the health and well-being of the animals. By helping care for the animals at the zoo, you are also helping research and conservation efforts within the zoo and around the world.

When you choose to adopt an animal at Brookfield Zoo Chicago, you'll be sharing the care. In addition to contributing to their daily care, you are also helping research and conservation efforts within the Zoo and around the world. The mission of Brookfield Zoo Chicago is to inspire conservation leadership by connecting people with wildlife and nature.

Brookfield Zoo Chicago was the first zoo in the world to be Humane Certified™ by the American Humane Society for the care and welfare of its animals, and is an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums, and ArbNet. Sharing the Care is one of the best ways to support animals at Brookfield Zoo. Not only are you directly helping to provide expert care for your favorite animal for one year, but you also get great.

Our animal care teams are always looking for creative ways to add enrichment for the animals around the Zoo. These trees filled with treats are a great way to encourage foraging behaviors and add a fun twist to feeding time! Brookfield Zoo Chicago 2d Last week we celebrated Malaya the snow leopard's birthday! Did you know? A snow leopard's claws and jaws are essential tools when it comes to tackling a meal! As carnivores, snow leopards are built to hunt a wide range of prey, from small rodents and marmots to much larger animals like deer.
