Paul O'Grady's Animal Orphans - Episode Guide

Animal lover Paul O'Grady travels to South Africa and Zambia to meet animals that have been orphaned in the wild in this new factual series.

In episode two Paul meets cheetah cubs, a rhino calf, baby baboons, and spends more time at the Lilayi Elephant Nursery. First, Paul visits Cheetah Outreach, a sanctuary near Cape Town.

In episode three Paul bonds with a baby vulture, a hippo calf, a warthog, a baby elephant, and bottle-feeds a baby giraffe.

Paul visits the Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, managed by Brian Jones where an 8 month old orphaned rhinoceros called Olive is being raised, whose mother was killed by poachers.

Paul is back in Zambia and the Lilayi Elephant Nursery where last year he met an elephant calf called Nkala. Paul is amazed at how much he's grown and how good he now looks.

In this episode Paul is in Zambia where he meets a hippo called Douglas, and in South Africa a baby giraffe called Melmin has been brought to Moholoholo animal rehabilitation centre.

In episode one Paul arrives in Sabah, the Malaysian part of Borneo and finds the heat difficult to deal with.

Paul heads straight for the orangutan rehabilitation centre in Sepilok where he meets Sue Sheward MBE, the founder of Orangutan Appeal UK, the largest fundraiser for the centre. Forest fires across Borneo are clearing the jungle for agriculture and many orangutans have either been killed in the fires or shot when they venture out to farmland to find food.

In episode two, Paul returns to the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, where he meets five-year-old Boogie Boy. Two months earlier, Boogie Boy fell out of a tree and broke his arm and is now having physiotherapy. Paul helps distract Boogie while the ranger manipulates his arm. Later, Boogie has to go to the local human clinic for an x-ray to check the fracture has healed. It has, so Paul takes him back to the ropes where the other orangutans are learning to climb. No-one knows whether the fall will have affected his confidence.
