London Zoo stock take 2024
- 4 months ago
On January 3, London Zoo carried out its annual stocktake.
ZSL's conservation zoo is home to more than 300 different species, from Endangered Galapagos giant tortoises and Asiatic lions to Critically Endangered Sumatran tigers - all of which are logged and recorded as part of the Zoo’s annual licence requirement.
During the count, Crispin and Zac, the Zoo’s two Sumatran tiger cubs, turned the ‘register’ in their enclosure into a toy, dragging it away to gnaw on, while the colony of 74 Humboldt penguins patiently lined up to be counted by zookeeper Jessica Fryer.
Chapman’s zebras Kabibi, Kianga and Spot were added to the tally by zookeeper Becca Keefe, and Kim Carter ticked off Galapagos Giant tortoises Priscilla, Polly and Dolly. Sam Aberdeen made sure the zoo’s population of endangered Seychelles giant millipedes were all accounted for.
