See how much food your gift could buy for our animals

Marv the White-Cheeked Gibbon

$25 could buy 20 pounds of apples

Marv celebrated his first birthday this year! Still in his “toddler” phase, he loves to jump and swing across his habitat. You could help power this little bundle of energy with some fresh, crisp apples.

Grey Crowned Cranes

$50 could buy a bag of grain

These beautiful cranes are endangered, but your Houston Zoo support is saving them in Rwanda. Send them a gift of grain, then see them in the new Fondren Foundation Birds of the World exhibit.

Tino the Masai Giraffe

$100 could buy four hay bales

This spring, our giraffe herd grew six feet taller with the birth of Tino! You could help satisfy his hankering for hay.

California Sea Lions

$250 could buy 165 pounds of herring

With nine sea lions in our care, we go through tons of sustainably caught fish every year. This holiday season, send our sea lions a delicious feast of fish.
