High 5: Maxine Finlay
Maxine Finlay, 28, press and marketing manager at Edinburgh Zoo, lists her favourite animals
1 Penguins They are always up to something and you could watch them for hours.
2 Chimpanzees We share 98 per cent of our DNA with this species and that's evident after spending time watching them.
3 Koalas They sleep for 18 hours a day so they're not the most active animal but it's easy to forgive them when they are so cute.
4 Ratel The ratel, or honey badger, is actually incredibly vicious and a bit of an escape artist, all of which makes them fascinating.
5 One-horned rhino They are so impressive with their thick, folded skin that resembles a coat of armour.
