RZSS Edinburgh Zoo is home to the only giant pandas in the UK. The female is called Tian Tian (Sweetie) and the male is Yang Guang (Sunshine).

Both pandas have identical, but separate, enclosures as giant pandas are entirely solitary animals that only meet once a year during the breeding season.

The outdoor enclosures feature tree trunks for the pandas to scratch against and climb; large wooden climbing frames and tree houses; caves and ponds.

Each panda also has an off show area where keepers weigh the pandas each morning, carrying out important daily training.

Visitor notice - July 2019

12 July 2019 - We are giving both pandas time to get used to their new surroundings and will be gradually opening outdoor viewing to the public over the next few weeks. Indoor viewing will remain closed as they settle in.
