| Title: | Edinburgh Zoo - Giant Panda |
| Description: |
Edinburgh Zoo allows you to get close to a wide range of animals.
This page shows some of the animals we've visited, including the Giant Panda. Not all the animals shown still live at the Zoo as many have moved
to new homes and the range of animals has been reduced in recent years.
This is one of the pair of Giant Pandas, the male Yang Guang, known as Sunshine. Seen here patrolling Tian Tian's, or Sweetie's, enclosure during a rare visit into her area. The pandas arrived in 2011 and are very popular. It's hoped they will breed during their ten years in Edinburgh. |
