We love seeing your photographs of our animals, whether you’re a dedicated wildlife photographer or someone who just likes capturing a wee bit of cuteness with a smartphone. They celebrate the diversity of Edinburgh Zoo’s animals and give everyone a glimpse into their quirky characteristics.

In this month’s edition, we are happy to see the flamingos, meerkats and our new sloth bear Cipisek getting some much deserved attention.

If you want to see your photos featured in our next showcase, don’t forget to tag us on social media!
