It’s World Gibbon Day! 💛

We have a trio of buff-cheeked gibbons here at Edinburgh Zoo: Donnie, Jon and Leah!

These tree-dwelling apes are built for life up high, using their long arms to swing from branch to branch🌳

Sound up for gibbon noises and peanut crunches! 🔊

Our wee pygmy hippo Piper is growing in confidence and finding plenty to investigate, especially when it comes to the autumn leaves! 💛

There have been some big changes around the baby boom Traitors round table 😲

Last week you voted that Piper was a Traitor, but she was another Faithful!

A new player has now entered the game: Arnie the nyala calf, who was born last month.

Can you vote the Traitor out this week? And has another one been recruited? 🤔
