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 - June 2019
Please be aware that the giant pandas are expected to move into an exciting new habitat during June and will not be visible to visitors for a short period whilst they settle into their new surroundings. We will provide further updates in due course.
