A photo gallery of the Eden team's favourite animals! What do you make of the selection?

of 14
  • Coati

    Coati

    South American coatis have extremely flexible snouts that they use for rummaging around in foliage while searching for food.

  • Giraffe

    Giraffe

    With a super long tongue for stripping acacia leaves off their branches, giraffes are more than just a long neck.

  • Sea Turtle

    Sea Turtle

    With long fore flippers, sea turtles cruise through the sea keeping a steady pace of around 3 km per hour.

  • Asian Elephant

    Asian Elephant

    In comparison to their larger African cousins, Asian elephants have a large forehead, small ears and only one "finger" on the tip of their trunk.

  • Duck-Billed Platypus

    Duck-Billed Platypus

    Male duck-billed platypuses have a venomous spur on their hind legs. Although not fatal to humans, this Australian marsupial can give quite a painful sting!

  • Marsh Frog

    Marsh Frog

    There is a large variation in marsh frog appearance, with spots, stripes, brown relatives in central Europe, or just simply green and squishy most other places!

  • Lion

    Lion

    With large, heavy lower jaws and a short face, lions have a tremendous bite strength, using it to full effect when subduing their prey.

  • Emperor Penguin

    Emperor Penguin

    Emperor penguin chicks make good use of their fluffy coats. Hatching from their eggs in the depths of winter with winds up to 200 km per hour and temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees celsius.

  • Tiger

    Tiger

    The tiger is the largest cat in the world and takes some hiding - although it makes good use of its stripes while stalking through sunlight dappled bush and tall grass.

  • Orang-utan

    Orang-utan

    The name "orang-utan" has nothing to do with its orange colouration but is Malay for "man of the forest".

  • Alpaca

    Alpaca

    Alpacas are the domesticated form of the closely related llama, and are kept in herds in the mountains of Peru.

  • Zebra

    Zebra

    Teeth bared and head raised, this response is called a "Flehmen response" and is actually the zebra sniffing the air for pheromones. There must be lady zebras about...

  • Polar Bear

    Polar Bear

    Polar bears have hollow, colourless hair fibres that act like optical fibres, channeling sunlight to be absorbed by their black skin. Every little helps when you have to endure the cold of the Arctic.

  • Ostrich

    Ostrich

    Flightless ostrich can be seen racing around central and southern Africa at speeds of up to 70 km per hour. Their chicks look like little humbugs with their striped, black spots.
