Tanami is one of our Queensland koalas and his hobbies include sleeping and eating. 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.
He eats around 500 grams of eucalyptus every day – that’s the equivalent of a small bag of sugar! It costs £27 a day to feed one of our koalas here at the zoo."
It’s impossible to overstate the impact of the Covid-19 closure on Edinburgh Zoo. Being closed cuts off 90% of the funds needed by our dedicated keepers and vets to care for thousands of animals. If you can, please consider a donation to support our survival fund.

After Monday's government announcements, we took the very difficult decision to close our gates at Edinburgh Zoo and Highland Wildlife Park until further notice.

Sadly we have had to close our gates again and can no longer welcome you to Edinburgh Zoo. But there are still over 2,500 animals to care for and it costs over £2,000 each day to make sure they are well fed.
If you can, please donate today. With your support, our devoted keepers can give every animal in your zoo the best of care, whether your gift feeds bamboo to Yang Guang or eucalyptus to Tanami.
