Love birds: Zoo animals get into Valentine's Day spirit with handmade cards

Animals at Edinburgh Zoo have been feeling the love by getting into the Valentine’s Day spirit with crafts made by zookeepers.

The wildlife conservation charity’s keepers created the gifts using bright colours and enticing scents to engage the animals’ natural curiosity and provide extra enrichment.

Fe, the zoo’s female Linne’s two-toed sloth, enjoyed hanging around with her loveheart card.
