Zookeepers at ZSL London Zoo have dusted off their clipboards, calculators and cameras –
as they counted up all the animals at the Zoo’s annual stocktake.

Penguin chicks and pygmy goats are among the new entries in the list of residents.

Each year, keepers take a record of all the animals at the zoo, which houses about 300 different species.

The count of every mammal, bird, reptile, fish and invertebrate usually takes about a week to complete.
