ZSL Whipsnade Zoo’s annual stocktake,
Dunstable, Bedfordshire, UK.
8th January 2024.
Scimitar horned Oryx x 9
Deer and Antelope team
Zookeepers at Whipsnade Zoo are kicking off the New Year by counting every mammal, bird, reptile, fish and invertebrate, as part of the conservation zoo’s annual stocktake.
There are more than 245 species of animals at the UK’s largest zoo, from tiny extinct in the wild partula snails, to the giant multi-generational herd of Asian elephants.
2023 saw the arrival of many new animals, all of which will be recorded for the very first time at the annual count.
African lions Waka, Winta and Malik formed a new pride, moving to the zoo as part of an international breeding programme for the Endangered species, while a baby boom at the Bedfordshire zoo saw many populations of threatened species given a vital boost.
August saw the birth of an endangered Francois langur – a welcome boost to the international breeding programme for this species, whose population is estimated to stand at just 2000 individuals. The Zoo’s
Asian short-clawed otters – a species threatened in the wild by habitat loss and pollution - have had a busy year, welcoming not just one but two litters of pups.
The annual stocktake is a requirement of the Whipsnade Zoo license. Following the count, the ZSL conservation zoo will share its numbers with zoos and aquariums around the world via Species360, an international
database which helps zookeepers provide the highest quality care for the animals they look after.

One Swedish zoo, seven escaped chimpanzees. Furuvik Zoo in Sweden.
When the great apes at Furuvik Zoo broke free from their enclosure last winter, the keepers faced a terrible choice. This is the story of the most dramatic 72 hours of their lives.
Furuvik Zoo was home to seven chimpanzees. They lived in a building that the park refers to as the ape house, in a series of colour-coded enclosures over two levels (green, brown and yellow) connected to one another by hatches.
It's not uncommon for animals to escape from zoos, and all zoos have protocol to deal with this eventuality. The precise response, however, depends on which animal has escaped.
Seven chimpanzees on the loose require a very different approach. Chimpanzees are big and smart, they are adept climbers and can move at up to 25mph. For the humans catching the chimps, the experience can be emotionally challenging, even existentially confusing.

When the great apes at Furuvik Zoo broke free from their enclosure last winter, the keepers faced a terrible choice. This is the story of the most dramatic 72 hours of their lives.
Furuvik Zoo was home to seven chimpanzees. They lived in a building that the park refers to as the ape house, in a series of colour-coded enclosures over two levels (green, brown and yellow) connected to one another by hatches.
It's not uncommon for animals to escape from zoos, and all zoos have protocol to deal with this eventuality. The precise response, however, depends on which animal has escaped.
Seven chimpanzees on the loose require a very different approach. Chimpanzees are big and smart, they are adept climbers and can move at up to 25mph. For the humans catching the chimps, the experience can be emotionally challenging, even existentially confusing.

ZSL London Zoo’s Annual Weigh In at London Zoo, Regent’s Park, London, UK.

Squirrel Monkeys are weighed
ZSL London Zoo keepers record each animal’s vital statistics for the Annual Weigh In. With more than 14,000 animals in their care, London Zoo’s keepers spend hours throughout the year recording the heights and weights of all the animals – vital information which helps them to monitor their health and wellbeing.
The Annual Weigh In is a chance for keepers at the conservation zoo to make sure the information they’ve recorded is up-to-date and accurate, with each measurement then added to the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS), a database shared with zoos all over the world that helps zookeepers to compare important information on thousands of threatened species.
