Look who’s having sum fun at zoo stocktake!

This lively lemur is keeping a close eye on proceedings during the annual stocktake at Whipsnade Zoo.

Keepers are busy totting up all of the zoo residents for the compulsory count.

The zoo is home to more than 2,500 animals.

And the keepers have their clipboards at the ready as they add up each Whipsnade invertebrate, bird, fish, mammal, reptile and amphibian.

The count has to be carried out as a requirement of Whipsnade’s zoo licence.
