Jungle Jack Hanna explored the corners of the globe as one of the most respected animal ambassadors.
His enthusiasm and “hands-on” approach to wildlife conservation won him widespread acclaim as a conservationist, television personality, author, and Director Emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and The Wilds.
However, the man-in-khaki still reaches households worldwide through television shows that air on syndication and streaming platforms. Jack Hanna‘s legacy will continue to inspire the next generation of animal lovers and conservation advocates for many years. In honor of Jack and to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Adopt program, we are offering this limited-time special, perfect for the animal lover in your life!
We are so proud that Jack called the Columbus Zoo home for over 40 years, and during this limited-time special, we have pulled from the archives of Jungle Jack Hanna to offer this opportunity.
This limited-time special offers the choice between one of three 8” plush options, Cheetah, Giraffe, or Elephant, in a Jungle Jack Hanna vest. Plus fact sheets, a personalized certificate, a photo, a canvas bag, and free shipping and handling. 100% of your donation supports the well-being of the animals.
