Animal Park

Summer Special 2018

Episode 6

Duration: 44 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One LondonLatest broadcast: on BBC Two HD

Ben Fogle and Kate Humble kick off another week of summer specials catching up with the assortment of exotic animals living at Longleat Safari Park.

This episode follows the keepers going above and beyond to help the park's residents. The wallaby team are faced with a life-and-death decision when mum Zero is clearly too ill to care for her tiny joey. But can this extremely fragile newborn survive?

The carnivore team need their pair of European wolves to breed, but how do you get wolves in the mood for love? And can the cameras capture them mating and give the keepers the reassurance they need that the wolves are a successful match?

Anne the elephant makes friends with some notoriously greedy grazers. Jean Johansson welcomes a new enormous European elk to the park, but can they convince her to step off the truck? And Kate finds out which aquatic animal is the fussiest on the park. Show less
