"The London Zoo conducted its annual stocktake of over 10,000 residents, which is required for its license and helps manage breeding programs for endangered species around the world. 2024 was significant for the zoo, with the birth of two baby gorillas named Juno and Venus, three Asiatic lion cubs named Mali, Syanii, and Shanti, and 11 new penguin chicks. The zoo also welcomed 53 new frogs from Chile, named after Charles Darwin, as part of a conservation effort against a deadly fungus. Glynn Hennessy, the zoo's lead primate keeper, emphasized the importance of sharing information among zoos to ensure responsible breeding practices by tracking genetic pathways."
