Keepers at a safari park are are using a novel method to weigh their koalas. <br />
<br />
Rather than attempt to get the adorable marsupials to stay still on a weighing machine, staff at Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire use a set of scales attached to an adapted wooden branch, which the koalas happily hold on to.<br />

Weight is a key indicator of a koala's health and each individual animal has to be weighed twice a week to ensure they’re in top condition.
