00:35There's plenty of challenges when we weigh our animals,
00:38especially with some of the slightly more cheeky animals,
00:41like our monkeys.
00:42When we're weighing our monkeys,
00:43they all want to get on the scale at the same time
00:45and the keepers have to identify which animal it is,
00:47then get an individual weight.
00:49The penguins can be quite tricky sometimes too,
00:51just trying to nip at your fingers
00:52and get those fish out of your hand
00:53before you get a steady weight on the scales.
