The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland has announced that Edinburgh Zoo’s penguin colony will participate in the Wee Waddle, a reimagined version of the world-famous Penguin Parade.
This new experience will allow visitors to get up close to see the gentoo, rockhopper, and king penguin colony stroll along the walkway before they explore a new area outside of their usual habitat. The wildlife conservation charity’s penguins will leave Penguins Rock to participate in feeds and waddle around part of the perimeter.
David Field, Royal Zoological Society of Scotland CEO said, “We know our visitors have missed the Penguin Parade, and the Wee Waddle is a great way to bring this back and keep the magic of experiencing the penguins waddle around and explore outside their pool, while also getting closer to the colony during feeds!
“This is all part of our charity’s ongoing efforts to get people as close to nature as possible so that we can inspire and enable them to help protect it.”
Visitors can watch the Wee Waddle at Edinburgh Zoo Thursday to Sunday at 2:15pm.
