To make sure that an animal is healthy and developing normally, professional caregivers have to measure its size and weight. But it’s not always easy for either party. So zookeepers and shelter workers invent different ways to weigh their fosterlings, and some of them are really unusual while others are downright adorable.
Bright Side would like to show you 17 photos that display how you can weigh different kinds of animals.
