Happy Birthday Snowflake ❄️

Our oldest male gentoo penguin is 28 today! Snowflake has a genetic condition called leucism that makes his feathers a pale silvery-grey colour instead of black like other penguins 🐧

Ahead of #WorldVeterinaryDay2024 we're sharing a blog from one of our amazing vet team 🐧

Dr Steph Mota tells us all about Alfie, a king penguin who needed to visit The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies for scans after he starting having seizures.

They use opposable thumbs to grip when climbing and their back feet have a large big toe that allows them to easily grip with their hind feet 🐾

Behind the scenes at the zoo, we're home to a precious population of pond mud snails!

These tiny creatures can play a crucial role in freshwater ecosystems and our charity is working to boost their numbers in the Pentland hills.
