Daily talks
Curious about animals? Make the most of your visit to Edinburgh Zoo by attending one of our daily animal talks and encounters!
Talks and tours are subject to change and are located at the featured animal enclosure unless stated otherwise.
11:30am – Sloth and Armadillo
2:15pm – Rhinos
Discover how our chubby unicorns are ecosystem engineers, fundamentally reshaping the environment around them! Did you know – our rhino weighs around two tonnes (that’s still only ¾ the weight of a blue whale’s tongue!)? Watch out for… Qabid enjoying a mud bath.
2:30pm – Penguins
Discover why ocean conservation is critical to the pitter-patter of penguin feet!
Did you know – gentoo penguins are the fastest penguins in the world, swimming at a zippy 22mph?
Watch out for… our ‘Very Important Penguin’, Sir Nils Olav, who is a knighted member of the Norwegian Guard!
