Edinburgh Zoo keepers give Haggis the hippo a farewell card
Posted 24 Oct 2025 in Edinburgh Zoo
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s (RZSS) Edinburgh Zoo is bidding a fond farewell to Haggis the pygmy hippo with her very own goodbye card ahead of her last weekend in the capital.
In her time at Edinburgh Zoo, Haggis became a viral sensation, being featured on NBC’s Saturday Night Live and receiving a public apology from Greg James after she was called ‘not cute’ on his BBC Radio 1 show.
The wildlife conservation charity has recommended visitors book tickets to say their goodbyes this weekend, with the last guaranteed date to see her being Sunday 26 October.
