A giant animal artwork has been created by thousands of zoo visitors.
More than 14,000 people helped colour in the huge painting-by-numbers picture at London Zoo and Whipsnade Zoo.
The artwork is made up of 21 separate panels and features 200 different animals.
It was created to celebrate 200 years of the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) charity, and has set a new world record too!

The huge painting has helped break a Guinness World Record for the most people taking part in a painting-by-numbers artwork.
In total, 14,024 animal lovers picked up a paintbrush and helped complete the artwork within a week.
Victoria Sage, from the ZSL, said she was "delighted" that the record had been broken and added that the project showed how art and wildlife can bring people together.
Visitors to London Zoo will soon be able to see the finished artwork, before it moves to Whipsnade Zoo later this year.
