Join us as we celebrate perfect animal pairs. Learn all about the animal couples we have here at DZC and discover how we play “match-maker” through international breeding programmes to
support wildlife conservation.
Perfect Pairs
You could win a special one-off adoption of Asiatic lions, Kirana and Keshari, by matching some of our iconic couples around the 40-acre site.
Make sure you pick up a trail sheet at the entrance to take part.
Match-maker lab
