"Hello everyone! Thank you for watching our koala cam - and thank you to everyone who donated to help feed our animals while Edinburgh Zoo is closed.
Tanami is one of our Queensland koalas and his hobbies include eating 500 grams of eucalyptus every day – that’s the equivalent of a small bag of sugar!
Don’t worry if he doesn’t move much, koalas sleep up to 22 hours a day and prefer to spend time on their own. Tanami is most active in the morning and enjoys roaming around when we put out his breakfast."

This is a very challenging time because Edinburgh Zoo is closed and we have no income from visitors to help pay our food bills, which are thousands of pounds every month.
Our cameras are helping you get up close to our amazing animals and you can help them by donating.
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated already – any amount makes a big difference

The animals at Edinburgh Zoo are loved by so many people. But their survival here and in the wild now depends on the survival of your zoo.
Donations from thousands of people like you have kept our animals well fed and safe while we were closed and had no visitor income. We were grateful for every gift during those challenging times.
But without any government support to help us recover from Covid-19, the future of your zoo is at risk.
Every month, we need thousands of pounds just to feed and care for the animals you love.
We have no one else to turn to. If you can, please help your zoo survive long into the future by giving a donation today.
