As temperatures at Longleat Safari Park soar so too do pulses on Penguin Island as a love triangle emerges between Peaches, Rhianna and two-timing rogue Redley. But the keepers hope this scandal is short-lived because they are desperate for chicks. They want a happy couple to emerge from the heartache, but the consequence is inevitable - sadly one poor penguin will be left on the shelf. Who will it be? Ben Fogle and Kate Humble get all the gossip.

The carnivore team are hopeful that their pair of European wolves will breed, bringing some much-longed-for wolf pups to the park. But how do you get wolves in the mood for love? And can the cameras capture them mating and reassure the keepers that they are a successful match?

The keepers want to ensure that elephant grandmother Anne isn’t lonely in retirement so they recruit some new goat housemates for her. But what will Anne make of these notoriously greedy grazers? Jean Johansson witnesses these cheeky bleaters helping themselves to the contents of Anne’s larder so let’s hope the match lasts.

Meanwhile over in the African Safari, Kate gets her hands dirty, all in the name of science, as keepers get her to pick up a poo or two. Show less
