A message from Liz, our penguin keeper:
“Over one hundred penguins live here at Penguin’s Rock in Edinburgh Zoo - we're home to gentoo, king and rockhopper penguins.
You may spot Kevin, our naughtiest penguin, who has a lifetime ban from the penguin parade for pecking at our visitors!
It costs £165 a day to feed our penguin colony. Thanks to everyone who has donated to help our penguins, it’s such a wonderful thing to do and makes a big difference."
