Drag words into the blanks.

It was a busy old time at London Zoo this week, reports the Daily Mail, where over 19,000 animals were having their annual weight and height 1. Some creatures, such as rhinos, tigers, and okapis, had to be 2 on to specially constructed larger scales. The 3 are shared with other zoos across the world to allow keepers to compare information about 4 species. The zoological manager named Mark Habben said: "We have to know the vital statistics of each animal at the zoo, however big or small."
