Reporting from London Zoo
Good morning from Regent’s Park as London Zoo gears up for one of the biggest events in their calendar- the annual animal weigh-in.
From capybaras to camels, the zookeepers will attempt to weigh and measure over 10,000 animals to monitor their health and wellbeing, before sharing that vital data with conservation groups and sites around the world.
It’s a task that’s easier said than done though, when you’ve got a population of animals across over 300 species.
I’m expecting to see a fair share of innovative solutions as a result, and I’ve come with a carrot or two up my sleeve in the hope of tempting some of the zoo’s inhabitants onto the scales.
As I make my way around the zoo, you can come along too by tapping watch live at the top of the page.
