Maya is now seven weeks old and is becoming extremely determined and vocal. Giles is feeling overwhelmed about the enormity of what he has taken on with the sanctuary but is paying close attention to Maya's health, in particular her wavering eyesight and back legs that still seem a little wobbly.
Kathryn and Sam are learning the ropes and have fallen in love with their new houseguest. Maya turns from a vulnerable baby into a boisterous toddler. She learns to leap out of her box, exploring the house on her own and as all her teeth cut through, she takes to chewing Giles's prized possessions. Protective and patient, he is there to encourage her development. At eight weeks old Maya leaves the house for the first time and is given meat for the first time, and Giles builds her a climbing frame in the garden so she can learn to climb like jaguars do in the wild.
To help her neurological condition, Giles takes Maya to a hydrotherapy centre, and she starts to show signs of improvement. Maya is launched to the world at the Summer Ball, where in one night Giles raises £15,000 that he wants to use to help jaguars in the wild. He travels to Costa Rica to find out what is happening to jaguars, and how he can help. He takes to the air to see the most important rainforest corridor in Central America and joins a team on the ground to plant trees to safeguard its future. Show less
