Abenteuer Zoo - Edinburgh

You come to Edinburgh Zoo mainly because of the penguins. Europe's largest and most species-rich penguin colony is at home here. The strange birds do not have any worries about offspring. For many years, they have been building their nests every year and raising young like in Antarctica. They are the lonely leader in high-speed flight under water, and they can show it in the giant aquarium of this zoo. Champions of a completely different kind are the most poisonous frogs in the world: poison dart frogs. In Edinburgh, the brightly coloured animals are successfully bred and the secret of their poison is being researched. In addition to many species common to zoos, the 50-hectare zoo also presents old Scottish domestic animal breeds. The zoo in Kincraig looks after a special farm for them. Highland cattle, sheep breeds, but also selected native wild animals can be experienced in this facility of the 'Royal Zoological Society of Scotland'.
