Penguins at a zoo take part in the Wee Waddle - strolling along a walkway in a "penguin parade."

The new experience at Edinburgh Zoo allows/ visitors to get up close to see the gentoo, rockhopper and king penguin colony take a stroll.

They waddled along a walkway before exploring a new area outside of their usual habitat.

The wildlife conservation charity’s penguins leave Penguins Rock then feed then walk around part of the perimeter.

David Field, Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) 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 from Thursday to Sunday at 2:15 p.m.
