I love watching the videos of the baby pandas making zoo keepers lives living hells because part of me wants to be the zoo keeper SO. BAD. but then I find it humorous because I also know I’d be completely over it by like day 3 MAX
That's one of the reasons I ultimately decided not to go into it; plus you gotta start at the bottom and work your way up to being able to handle animals, which my impatient butt wouldn't have been able to stand. Kudos to the people who do it for the love of animals!
They have the weight of baby and momma combined
Why not just take baby off for a quick sec and subtract for the difference?
Baby does look cute in the bowl though
Edit 1: Maybe the scales have different limits?
Like one is to tenths and the other to hundredths of a unit?
Edit 2: Clarity
Step 1 - Place momma and baby on Scale 1 (It’s under the original tree).
Step 2 - Get measurement.
Step 3 - Take baby off.
Step 4 - Get measurement of just momma.
Step 5 - Give baby back.
Step 6 - Subtract measurement of just momma (the second figure) from the measurement of momma and baby (the first figure).
Step 7 - Now have measurement of only baby.
Step 1: Place momma and baby on scale 1 (it’s under the original tree).

When you set up everything you turn on the scale, place the bowl and the stuffy on the scale, then press a button thay essentially resets the scale. You can then do what happened here and the stuffy won't be taken into account.
There's a reason you don't do this. Scales are sensitive equipment, leaving a weight on them will damage the springs and render you incapable of using the scales for anything else. Avian vets do something like this often with pvc pipe perches, lightweight and not made of wood, wrapped in self adhesive tape, the bird can stand on the perch and behave or the perch goes away in favor of a clear box with a lid on it. If you use a heavy piece of wood on what appears to be a large package scale, good for measuring grams as well as pounds, then you will break it. You as a human cannot stand on the scale. This is also why they don't want you standing on the scales at the checked baggage counter at the airport, an adult constantly leaning on the scale will break it. The proposition you introduced does not work because of how scales work. Plus at that point you've put several hundred dollars into a scale only used for a koala that is going to break in a matter of months so....

Weighing baby animals seems like the world’s most adorably frustrating task

They don't get paid much, either.
That's one of the reasons I ultimately decided not to go into it; plus you gotta start at the bottom and work your way up to being able to handle animals, which my impatient butt wouldn't have been able to stand. Kudos to the people who do it for the love of animals!
There’s one of a penguin getting weighed that pops up with some regularity here. I watch it every time lol.
So evil, he's probably weighting it for christmas supper
1 bowl of Kuala. ✔️
…and then what?!
Follow the recipe my guy.
Now draw the rest of the owl
Eat one bowl of koala
I was really hoping for a recipe but it’s good advice regardless
You fold it in. FOLD IT IN.
pina koalas lol courtesy of zootopia 2
I love koalas, but I can never eat a whole one myself. :(
Mama is like o_0 wyd to my kid
Not a thought to speak off.
Head empty.
Their brains are smoother than a chicken cutlet.
Mama doesn’t look like she’s thinking at all
Nah, she climbed down a bit to check it out. She obviously had at least one thought.
The thought: “wot?”
Zamboni’d brains
O.O
the bebe...
UNHAND ME YOU RAPSCALLION! YOU'LL BE HEARING FROM MY SOLICITOR, POST HASTE!
WhAt'S ThE ChArGe! ChiLLiNg WiTh My SuCcUlEnT Mom!

I see you know your Freud well, sir!
That koala touched my stuffie
Straight into a soup bowl!!!
Loud, smelly, cute ball of chlamydia.
pretty sure this is actual footage from the John Oliver chlamydia ward
innOCEnt ChIlD FORCeD to loSe Weight uNNEcisArILY beCAUSE SOme IDIOT DIDNT Tare the SCale FOr The PLusHIE
nah, die scale starts at negative 181 bevor the chlamydia ball is dropped into the bowl
This is a music box variation of a Studio Ghibli song. I can't recall the specific song nor even the movie, but it is Studio Ghibli.

That explains why it was comforting/nostalgic.
gasp and they made koala stew?!
poor thing, he is so scared
I have never seen such abuse!
Adorable
But I couldn’t help thinking…

UsiNg tHe baBies???
What a cruel cruel world
Possibly it's also about getting baby used to chilling on the scale for a bit, because they expect it to live in captivity.
Word! I can see that.
It’s probably easier to pry the baby off than the momma, her grip is probably stronger.
To clarify what I mean:
Step 1: Place momma and baby on scale 1 (it’s under the original tree).
Step 2: Get measurement.
Step 3: Take baby off.
Step 4 : Get measurement of just momma.
Step 5: Give baby back.
Step 6: Subtract measurement of just momma (the second figure) from the measurement of momma and baby (the first figure).
Step 7: Now have measurement of only baby.
How is this easier? You're still taking the baby away, which is the original problem.
This way baby is off mom and handled for far less time
But someone did point out that since they live in captivity that might be good for acclimation and handling as adults
May be the professional handler knows a bit more than yourself
Can people not ask questions and be curious?
Jesus
Like I asked because I don’t know lol
Some people are convinced that every questions is somehow a challenge. Keep being curious! We need more of that in the world.
But why would you?
That’s more steps, not easier, larger possible error and you still need to keep the two separated.
When you set up everything you turn on the scale, place the bowl and the stuffy on the scale, then press a button thay essentially resets the scale. You can then do what happened here and the stuffy won't be taken into account.
The stuffy wasn’t mentioned and isn’t the question.
I know they can zero the scale and negate the stuffy weight.
The second scale is an extra step when you already have figures from the first scale to work with.
(There is a scale under the tree with mamma)
And the extra step may stress baby out more but I can’t say for sure.
But then I thought about the scales and the second may provide more precise data than the first.

Edit: Like, why are you bringing humans standing on a package scale into this? I’m confused.
Because those scales are designed with luggage parameters in mind, not humans.
I'd guess the second scale has higher precision (can measure smaller weights).
Agreed
Thought about that after I originally commented
Assuming it is a scale under the tree, having the baby off is a useful time to do a quick check up on the baby.
So clingy
That thing looks so stressed.. that stuffed animal is t fooling it at all
nooo
i will have my revenge...
...later
Oh LAWD she comin’
I feel cheated. I have that bowl, but mine didn't come with a baby koala.
That gringo stole my baby!
Mom are you going to help?
Hold yer horses. I'm coming, I'm coming. JFK, every goddamned week with these humans...
That's funny
Poor thing is terrified 😭
When that baby grows up, rest assured...he will have his revenge.
Someone call squishmallow marketing - there's a killing to be made
Mom is supremely unbothered lol
"If he dies, he dies!"
I know that koalas are dumb AF but this is cute.
Aren't koalas very aggresive?
Thats what all tRafFiCkErS do, lure you with toys and weigh you in bowls. Sickens me.
I can't tell if the mother is baffled or relieved because she needed a break.
His little grabby hands 😭
Does the kid already have koala Chlamydia?
Wala noooooooo 😭
They gave the baby a fake mommy! Boo boo! Hiss hiss.
What is this song. Can someone tell me?
Kiki's Delivery Service ending song
Ahh! Thank you. I knew I had heard it but I couldn't place it.
You had me at child trafficker yoinks
The little guy grabbing onto his arms is so cute
