Why A.D.O.P.T.* an animal?

It's a personal way to help the Los Angeles Zoo's wildlife conservation efforts and a fun way to create a special bond at the Zoo!

All animals in the Zoo's collection are available to ADOPT!

On Monday, April 26, 2010, a female desert bighorn sheep was born at the Los Angeles Zoo. The healthy newborn lamb is on exhibit with her parents in the North American area of the Zoo.

The most recognizable characteristic of the bighorn sheep are the male’s massive, spiraled horns and their majestic faces. Females, or ewes, are smaller than the male, and have smaller, shorter horns that also curve into a spiral shape, never exceeding a half a curl. Click here to learn more!
