Runners streak naked through London Zoo for annual race

Brave animal-lovers stripped off to run stark naked around London Zoo in a bid save tigers.

Scores of fun-loving Londoners got their kit off to take part in ZSL’s ‘Streak for Tigers’ on Thursday evening.

Painting their nude bodies in fitting tiger stripes, participants prowled around the zoo as nature intended.

The annual event was held in a effort to fund ZSL’s work into protecting the beautiful beasts and their habitats around the world.

Fundraising director James Wren said: “A group of tigers may be known as a streak, but sadly seeing any number of them in the wild is increasingly unlikely.

“Money raised by those who dared to bare is vital in helping us continue our work for tigers around the world, and it’s definitely something to tick off the bucket list.”
