If you go down to the Zoo today you're in for a big surprise
Ronnie and Arrow traveled overnight from Woburn Safari Park and arrived at Edinburgh Zoo at 9.00am on Tuesday 11 May
The giraffes at Edinburgh Zoo will all be Nubian giraffes (also known as Rothschild)
As part of the partnership with Glenmorangie Single Malt Scotch Whisky and the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s RZSS WildGenes team will be supporting wild giraffe conservation by using genetics to help GCF understand the success of reintroductions across Uganda
The wildlife conservation charity has partnered with the Giraffe Conservation Foundation (GCF) and Glenmorangie Single Malt Scotch Whisky to bring giraffes back to the capital for the first time in over 15 years and support vital work to protect the species in the wild.
