Exhibit at Edinburgh Zoo – level 2

05-12-2018 15:00

People transformed Edinburgh Zoo in Scotland into a magical place with more than 450 lanterns of mythical animals from Scottish and Chinese folklore.

Unicorns, mythical birds, dragons and dinosaurs took 200 artisans from China more than three months to create. They used around 50,000 metres of fabric and 80,000 LED lights.

Difficult words: lantern (a model made of paper or fabric with lights inside), unicorn (a mythical animal which looks like a horse with a horn), artisan (a skilled worker who makes things by hand).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
