London, UK. 3rd Jan, 2017. Zookeeper Veronia Heldt counts the Meercats. Home to more than 800 unique species in London Zoo, zookeepers take stock of every invertebrate, bird, fish, mammal, reptile, and amphibian counting every animal in the annual stocktake. The week long compulsory count is required as part of London Zoo's license, the results are logged and the data is shared with zoos around the world to manage international breeding programmes.
