"Annual Zookeepers' Weigh-In: Penguins, Gorillas, and a Meerkat Named Frank"
Zookeepers at London Zoo have begun their annual weigh-in, recording the heights and weights of over 14,000 animals. The data is then shared with zoos worldwide to compare statistics on endangered species. Each animal, from penguins to meerkats, is coaxed onto the scales using various tricks. The information collected helps monitor the animals' health and well-being, identify pregnancies, and contribute to conservation breeding programs.
