Animal Park

Christmas Special

Episode 5

Duration: 43 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two EnglandLatest broadcast: on BBC One Northern Ireland HD

It’s nearly Christmas and, for the very first time, in a special week of programmes, Animal Park is heading to Longleat Safari Park for the festive season! Kate Humble and Ben Fogle wrap up every wonderful moment as the keepers ensure all their creatures are warm and enjoying their busy festive season. Today, Christmas treats, new arrivals and a potential Christmas romance.

It’s the Christmas rom-com film we all look forward to: two strangers meeting and falling in love. But animals don’t always follow the script. The park is opening up a couple of big presents - two new warthogs brought in to start a new family line. There is lots of preparation to get their new home ready, but the keepers are nervous - the warthogs have never met. Fingers crossed for love, actually.

And there are festive treats all around. Jean Johansson helps prepare a Christmas pudding for the anteaters, and she finds out if any animals like sprouts! And just what does happen on Christmas Day in the park? Show less
