Find more ways to help"Over one hundred penguins live here at Penguin’s Rock in Edinburgh Zoo - we're home to gentoo, king and rockhopper penguins. As we approach the end of summer, our penguins will begin their annual moult. At this time the penguins will grow in a whole new layer of feathers and the old feathers will fall off. This is known as a 'catastrophic' moult in penguins because they can do this in only 2 weeks!
“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 already donated to help our penguins during this difficult time, it’s such a wonderful thing to do and makes a big difference."
It’s impossible to overstate the impact of Covid-19 closures 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.
