Curious about animals? Make the most of your visit to Edinburgh Zoo by attending one of our daily animal talks and encounters! 

Talks and tours are subject to change and are located at the featured animal enclosure unless stated otherwise.

12:30pm and 2:15pm – Rhino Discovery Day

Discover how our chubby unicorns are ecosystem engineers, fundamentally reshaping the environment around them! Did you know – our rhino weighs around two tonnes (that’s still only ¾ the weight of a blue whale’s tongue!)? 

Watch out for… Qabid enjoying a mud bath.

3:30pm – Poo at the zoo

Discover how poo helps us conserve the animals you love! Did you know – sloths do a toilet dance? Watch out for… the backing up bum of a pygmy hippo! 

Talks will take place at lower rhino viewing.
