A huge scale operation has started at Whipsnade Zoo, as keepers began coaxing thousands of animals, including lemurs, bears and chameleons, onto the scales for the Zoo’s Annual Weigh In!
The weigh in is an important part of each animal's expert care, with all creatures great and small having their vital statistics recorded, ensuring zookeepers and veterinarians track the health and wellbeing of more than 11,000 animals.
All the animals’ weights and measurements will be recorded in a shared database called the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS), which helps zookeepers around the world compare important information on thousands of threatened species.
