Lothian’s first ever sloth bus will take to the streets this week in partnership with the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s Edinburgh Zoo.
The brand-new design celebrates the wildlife conservation charity’s new South American habitat opening to the public and the arrival of Scotland’s only sloths, a male called Mo and a female named Fe. The new addition has been added to the 26 route’s fleet alongside the other zoo themed designs including pandas, penguins and giraffes.
As the official transport partner for Edinburgh Zoo, Lothian has over 30 zoo themed buses and will also be supporting the zoo’s Giraffe About Town trail which will see over 40 huge giraffe sculptures displayed across the capital in summer 2022.
