Boy Celebrates Birthday by Adopting Eight Zoo Animals
Yuvaan, who is 8 years old, celebrated his birthday by doing something special for the animals at the zoo.
He is the son of the person in charge of the zoo parks.
He chose to adopt eight different animals, like a hippo and a jaguar, which means he will help pay for their food and care for a month.
He gave the money to the zoo's curator.
This isn't the first time he's done this; he also adopted animals last year for his birthday!
The zoo encourages others to adopt animals too, to help take care of them.
