London Zoo annual weigh-in draws mixed reaction from residents

Animals had their beach bodies put to the test in the summer sunshine as keepers put them on the scales for London Zoo’s annual weigh-in.

Waxy monkey frogs, giant African land snails and tamandua tree anteaters were among the creatures which had their vital statistics recorded.

The measurements are used to monitor the animals’ health and shared with zoos across the world to compare information on endangered species.
