You can help feed our animals at this difficult time by adopting our Sumatran tigers
Adopt todayA message from Andrew, our tiger keeper:
“Lucu is our new male Sumatran tiger. He is settling in really well and you’re most likely to see him in the morning or afternoon. It’s a special moment when you see handsome Lucu up close in person or on our cameras – and you can help him at this difficult time by giving a donation.Sumatran tigers usually live alone in the wild and are quite shy, so don’t worry if you can’t see him. He’s most likely exploring in the long grass or having a snooze! “If he could, we’re sure even Lucu would like to say a huge tiger-sized thank you to everyone who has and continues to donate. Giving a tiger their tea is an amazing gift!"
It’s impossible to overstate the impact of the 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.
£50 could feed Lucu or Dharma for a week. Please help our animals like Lucu by giving an online donation today. Or you can donate by text.
Simply text ZOO plus the amount you’d like to donate to 70085 (e.g. ZOO5 to donate £5)*.
