Duchess is here! 😻
My first sighting of Duchess after she's arrived.. I was talking to some staff and it appears she got here just last week. She is very elusive and hidden but she did come out for food, and her keeper had a much better picture of her than the one I managed to get. She has no inside area in her enclosure as that's attached to Akikos side, but she has two little huts for her to hide in, although she seems to prefer bushes. The keeper said they probably won't be kept together but they will see how they react to eachother over the next few months. Akiko has been acting visibly different and he is very interested in her enclosure so I hope it will go well 🙏.
I'm glad after all the trouble she managed to arrive safely and seems to be doing well. I should be going back next week so if I'm lucky I'll maybe manage to spot her again.

Wishing you good luck on your next manul-trip to the zoo! We hope Duchess settles into her new home quickly and easily, and that she will become more confident and start exploring more 🙏🏻
Have you seen Akiko? 😍

Hooray! Valkyrie made it to Edinburgh! It was a long journey. I hope they’ll make a happy pair! 💘
Thank you for sharing photos and news 🤗
Thanks for the news! The Duchess’s photo is great; it very well illustrates her caution in a new place. Good luck to the new pair!

Yes! He's a lot more active now that she's here.. he was around all day today. He seems happy with the new arrangements :)
I'm so glad Duchess has finally and safely arrived in the UK! 💚 Hopefully Akiko's interest remains piqued through next year's dating season... 😁
I imagined how the Edinburgh kittens would be bursting out of the enclosure, shouting:
— Freedom!
🤗🥰😻
Good luck to the Duchess in her new home!
Let the love adventure begin 😻😻!
