Zoological Society of London (ZSL) London Zoo is home to approximately 19,000 animals and 600 different species. Once a year the staff at London Zoo get out their pads and pens to make sure all are accounted for.
Some keepers may have to count tigers which is easy enough, while other draw the short straw and must count, say, bees…hundreds of sting ready bees. The saying is ‘busy as a bee’ but that task may just be a little too busy for most.
