London Zoo Completes Annual Animal Census

Census data to aid global endangered species breeding programs, with 14,000 animals counted including new additions and endangered species.

London Zoo conducts its annual animal census, accounting for about 14,000 animals over two days.
Endangered Sumatran tiger cub, Crispin, and 74 Humboldt penguins among the animals counted.
New additions to the zoo in the past year include a two-toed sloth and 17 chicks, six of which are Socorro doves, a species extinct in the wild.
Information from the count will be shared with zoos worldwide to aid in managing breeding programs for endangered species.
Zookeepers employ various strategies to count the animals, with some proving more cooperative than others.
