Regular checkups are just as important for animals as they are for humans.
Our little furry friends need to stay healthy and fit too. They can’t always help themselves, so it is the duty of humans as the superior species to take care of them in their time of need. We should utilise our resources and try to provide these helpless creatures with good healthcare, food, and shelter when they can’t provide for themselves. As science advances, we are developing more and more ways to examine our buddies in the most effective and easiest ways possible.
However, we still have to weigh them the old fashioned way. And of course, they will not sit so we can measure and record their weight. So animal care workers have to try different techniques to fulfil the job. Their work must be super fun because their approach is so adorable. Scroll down to have your daily dose of cuteness:
1. Baby koalas are usually asked to climb tree limbs so they would stay in place while their weight is being measured.
8. Sea lions love to pose for the camera when it’s their turn to be on the scale.

It takes a lot of practice and patience to work with wild animals. All these zookeepers and animal care workers deserve a lot of appreciation. The creative ways that they use to make the animals co-operate is also very genius. Show these guys some love in the comments!
