The Armadillo and the Human Skin

A drop-in event with activities, talks and the opportunity to meet one of Edinburgh Zoo's armadillos! We're exploring amazing skin – and what it tells us about our identity, our emotions and how we view ourselves. What is a freckle? Why do we blush? Why do you get pimples? We'll answer all these questions and many more!
