Edinburgh Zoo penguins

Edinburgh zoo is probably best known for its penguins. The first three king penguins arrived on a Christian Salvesen whaling expedition which docked in Leith in 1913.

 

Edinburgh Zoo was opened to the public on 22 July 1913 and is run by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. Education is at the core of the zoo's activities. The zoo has won awards for the stimulating habitats it creates for the animals.
