00:00 Today we're here at Whipsnay Zoo, a ZSL conservation zoo and we're doing our annual weighing where
00:10 we're weighing the animals and taking measurements as well.
00:13 The reason why we do it is part of our zoo licence to ensure that all our records are
00:19 correct.
00:20 Things like the Bacterian Camels may be slightly more easier to be weighed because they're
00:24 trained.
00:25 Some of the other species that might be more difficult, maybe some of the smaller invertebrates
00:29 as well, might be more difficult as they might be more nervous and flighty.
00:33 Keepers probably have to invent ingenious ways of weighing them animals rather than
00:38 just leading them onto a scale.
00:41 I definitely crossed it.
00:43 - I'm impressed.
