How you can help
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.
Habitats
You can search for animals by habitat type.
The habitats you can search by are:
Oceans & Wetlands, Tropical Rainforests, Woodlands, and Grasslands.
In ecological terms, a habitat is the area in which a given species lives. Most of the animals at Edinburgh Zoo fall into one or more of the four broad habitat types above, and eventually we hope to exhibit our animals in areas of the Zoo dedicated to these habitat types. This is already beginning to happen; for example, you will find a large number of our Oceans & Wetlands species at the bottom of the Zoo, between the main entrance and the Penguin pool.
