Edinburgh Zoo, Animal conservation facility in Corstorphine, Edinburgh, Scotland.
The 33-hectare zoological park houses over 1,000 animals, including tigers, lions, gorillas, and the largest outdoor penguin pool in Europe.
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland established Edinburgh Zoo in 1913 and initiated the first penguin parade tradition in the world.
The zoo maintains strong connections with Norway through Sir Nils Olav III, the king penguin who holds the rank of brigadier in the Norwegian King's Guard.
The zoo opens daily from 9:00 AM, with closing times varying between 4:30 PM in winter and 6:00 PM during summer months.
Edinburgh Zoo houses the only giant pandas and koalas in Britain, making it a center for research and breeding programs for these species.
