Hunky zookeeper Grant Kother has stripped naked in a bid to encourage people to take part in a naked run in London Zoo this summer to raise money to save the dwindling number of Sumatran tigers.
Kother posed for a series of saucy snaps, with just a bucket protecting his modesty, as he carried out his duties around the Zoological Society in the capital.
The run is called ‘Streak for Tigers’ (a pack of tigers is called a streak) and is set to take place on August 15. The ZSL is hoping fearless fundraisers will rise to the challenge to help the charity continue its vital conservation work.
Challenge events manager Lucy Osman explained: “We’re thrilled to be holding such a daring and unusual event after hours at ZSL London Zoo.
“We’re hoping that by taking on this outrageous challenge, streakers’ friends and families will dig deep to show their support and help protect tigers around the world.”
Around 300 participants are being encouraged to take part to represent the 300 Sumatran tigers remaining in the wild.
