00:57What up lads.
01:13Come on.
01:27Turn him, turn him.
01:40Another one.
01:43Guys, I'm kind of out of nuts.
01:47Laughter.
02:02There's one there.
02:06Very shy.
02:12What?
02:22Laughter.

03:00So today is the annual stock take here at London Zoo.
03:04It's the day of the year when we formally recognize the total number of animals.
03:08The reality is that we always know how many animals we have here.
03:12We will be counting in the next few days in excess of 10,000 animals from more than 400 species.
03:20So it's keeping a lot of keepers very, very busy.
03:23And we've been on the go since before six o'clock this morning.
03:26And we'll be going through till the end of daylight today.
03:29And then repeating for quite a few more days until we've completed the entire count.
03:35We're really excited about the baby gorillas.
03:38It's been a long effort to get a male in, for him to sort of have a courtship with the females.
03:43And then produce two offspring for us.
03:45And we're seeing their characters come through every single day.
03:48They're very different.
03:50But it's wonderful to see the family group really having a few more members in it now.
