As you plan your visit to the Adiriyê ZOO, remember that you're not just coming to see animals; you're entering a world where friendship and love are the ultimate attractions. Who knows? You might just find your own love story unfolding amidst the wonders of the natural world.

Liora found Kael three winters ago—a wolf-shifter with a shattered hind leg, dumped outside the ZOO gates. He trusted no one. Liora slept outside his enclosure for 40 nights, reading old myths aloud until he stopped growling. The turning point comes when a wildfire threatens the ZOO. Kael, still limping, drags an unconscious Liora from a burning aviary. As she wakes, he licks the soot from her cheek—a wolf’s kiss.
