We hope you enjoy watching our charity's colony at Penguins Rock!
Your support helps to care for all the animals you love here at Edinburgh Zoo, as well as contributing towards vital wildlife conservation, community and engagement work carried out by Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) teams in Scotland and around the world.
A message from Liz, our penguin keeper:
“Over one hundred penguins live here at Penguins 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."
Did you know that Edinburgh Zoo is part of RZSS, a wildlife conservation charity? Donations from people like you will not only care for the animals in our zoo but will also support the survival of threatened species around the world.
