In
this first episode of the new series, Pedro the giant anteater is about
to be reunited with his long-term partner, Bliss. But then he falls
ill, and faces a major operation - with an uncertain outcome.
The
Zoo's extremely rare bald ibises produce a batch of new chicks, who are
destined to be released back into the wild in southern Spain. But one,
Britney, is critically underweight and must be hand-reared. If she
becomes too tame, however, she won't survive in the wild.
Rhino
couple Beni and Asha have been kept separate for the last four years
while mum Asha has been raising the couple's daughter, Komala. But now
Komala is leaving home, and the couple are due to be reunited. Will they
rekindle their rhino romance?
And
in the insect hatchery, Natasha the orchid mantis has caused a crisis -
by eating all the male mantises in the Zoo... except one. Now the hopes
of breeding more of these rare insects rest with two-centimetre-long
Bruce, who must attempt to mate with Natasha. But will he survive the
experience in one piece?
