Get a peep of Piper the pygmy hippo

Visitors to Edinburgh Zoo can now catch a glimpse of two-week-old Piper the pygmy hippo as she explores her indoor habitat alongside mum Gloria.

The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) made the decision following several successful two-hour trial openings. Keepers at the wildlife conservation charity are delighted with Piper's growing confidence and are excited for the public to meet her.

Fans visiting Piper are asked to keep noise to a minimum to help the calf and mum remain happy and healthy.

The Hippo House will be open to all visitors, however as opening hours are subject to change visitors are advised to check on arrival.
