Watch: Lemurs and Capybaras face the scales at London Zoo's annual weigh-in
Update: Date: 09:56 BST Title: Time to weigh some of the zoo's most popular residents Content: Adam GoldsmithReporting from London Zoo Next up, we're taking a detour via the capybaras. We're told these two - Gizmo and Kiwi - have become some of the most popular animals at the zoo. Our reporter Lilah will be speaking to the rodent's keeper in a moment - watch live as she gets the lowdown. Update: Date: 09:24 BST Title: Watch live as London Zoo's lemurs are weighed Content: Adam GoldsmithReporting from London Zoo The lemurs are on the scales. Repeat, the lemurs are on the scales. There's action in the enclosure as a few of the braver ring-tailed lemurs surround the Chelsea the zookeeper. You can watch the lemur weighing live at the top of the page. Update: Date: 09:20 BST Title: Lemurs up first, with the help of some snacks Content: Adam GoldsmithReporting from London Zoo First, we're visiting the ring-tailed lemurs. This group of eight are native to southern and south-west Madagascar, and are lively this morning as they climb around their enclosure. The animal's keepers have polished off a large set of scales, and are gathering the animals interested with the help of some snacks. Weighing them might take a while, and we'll update you as soon as we get some figures. We're told that these critters usually weigh-in at around three kilograms. Update: Date: 08:49 BST Title: Humboldt penguins ready for weigh-in - are you? Content: Adam GoldsmithReporting from London Zoo We're just getting set up here at London Zoo, where the Humboldt penguins are already expecting their breakfast. We'll have a live stream running through the day right here with the penguins - you can watch live at the top of the page. You can also follow our camera crew around the other residents as the weigh-in begins. First up, our guides are planning on taking us to see the ring-tailed lemurs; that should happen around 09:00 BST - animal dependent, of course. Update: Date: 08:38 BST Title: Government sets out new standards for zoos Content: Today's weigh-in is taking place after the UK government set out new standards for zoos in May. This marks the first change to zoo standards in over a decade and will come into effect from May 2027. The changes are: Zoos and aquariums now have two years to adapt to these changes. The government's animal welfare minister Baroness Hayman says that while the UK's zoos are 'world leaders' in setting the standard for how animals should be treated, these reforms now 'lay the foundation for an even stronger, even more compassionate future for all zoos and aquariums'. Update: Date: 08:13 BST Title: What is weigh-in day all about? Content: Aside from offering some great photo opportunities, weigh-in day is an essential opportunity for London Zoo to collect important data from its inhabitants. Weighing animals regularly enables the zoo to monitor the development of its animal infants, for instance, and even helps to identify pregnancies. It is also a good opportunity to cross-reference and check data that's been recorded throughout the year. Once all the data is collected, it's added to the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS). This database is shared with other zookeepers at institutions around the world, and helps compare information on endangered or threatened species. Update: Date: 08:01 BST Title: London Zoo's annual weigh-in day has arrived Content: Adam GoldsmithReporting from London Zoo Good morning from Regent's Park as London Zoo gears up for one of the biggest events in their calendar- the annual animal weigh-in. From capybaras to camels, the zookeepers will attempt to weigh and measure over 10,000 animals to monitor their health and wellbeing, before sharing that vital data with conservation groups and sites around the world. It's a task that's easier said than done though, when you've got a population of animals across over 300 species. I'm expecting to see a fair share of innovative solutions as a result, and I've come with a carrot or two up my sleeve in the hope of tempting some of the zoo's inhabitants onto the scales. As I make my way around the zoo, you can come along too by tapping watch live at the top of the page.

Sir David Attenborough names golden eagle chick
Sir David Attenborough has named the first young golden eagle to fly the nest from a special conservation project in named the baby eaglet "Princeling" - meaning young prince. The broadcaster and naturalist who turned 99 years old in May says he chose the name because it symbolises new hope for the restoration of the species and called the moment a "wonderful achievement".The project is part of the South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project (SSGEP), which aims to increase their numbers throughout the of the bird's hatching this spring was kept secret until he was ready to fly the nest in a bid to protect his safety and welfare. He was satellite-tagged by licensed experts in June. Princeling's mother was moved from the Scottish highlands to the South of Scotland in 2021, where there was a low population of golden eagles. Princeling's arrival brings the number of golden eagles soaring in the south of Scotland to over 50, the most seen in the region for three hundred David said: "Many congratulations to all those in Restoring Upland Nature who have brought about the fledging of a young golden eagle."After the mother Eagle was moved, it paired with a male eagle that already lived in the new area. The conservation charity says this shows that golden eagles that are moved, can integrate successfully into local populations. The conservation project will now be expanded to England and Wales to to increase golden eagle numbers across the golden eagle is the UK's second-largest birds of prey, and disappeared in England in the 19th century because of last native golden eagle, which lived alone on a reserve in the Lake District, disappeared in the latest news, the chief executive of RUN, Dr Cat Barlow, said: "Seeing Princeling thrive in the south of Scotland highlights that, where there are healthy ecosystems and a low risk of persecution, translocated eagles can integrate well into native populations to breed successfully."
