How you can help

Ediburgh Zoo Advert

The natural world needs our help...and we need yours!  Please consider making a donation to support our conservation, education and research work, both within our parks and across the world.

Antarctica

Antarctica is the coldest, driest and windiest of the continents, with 98% of it's surface permanently covered in thick ice.  As such, only specialist cold adapted species can thrive here.

The only antarctic species kept at Edinburgh Zoo is the King Penguin.
