You can’t hurry love: Edinburgh Zoo’s animals fall for Valentine’s Day messages
Posted 13 Feb 2026 in Edinburgh Zoo
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s (RZSS) Edinburgh Zoo surprised its animals with handmade Valentine’s Day crafts this week.
The wildlife conservation charity’s keepers created the gifts using bright colours and enticing scents to engage the animals' natural curiosity and provide extra enrichment. Among those treated to a loving message were the zoo’s sloths, armadillos, tigers and galah cockatoos.
