First broadcast: on BBC One London HDLatest broadcast: on BBC One Scotland

Available for 8 months

Ben Fogle and Kate Humble are back for another sunny summer series, following the remarkable lives of the exotic animals at Longleat Safari Park, and the keepers who care for their every need. We see the many ways the keepers of the park go above and beyond to keep all their animals healthy and happy.

The keepers have to carry out essential health checks on the park’s new red pandas. The animals spend most of their lives in the treetops, so it’s hard to see their feet, but the park has a plan. They’re building a clever gadget, which will show a red panda’s reflection, but only if the red pandas can be persuaded to stand on it. How will the keepers encourage these famously nervous animals to come near it?

Elsewhere in the park, Kate helps with the keepers' plans for a lads' day out for the lions. They’re putting one of the prides into another lion’s territory in an attempt to analyse the current pride structure.

Megan helps the keepers give an Argentine tegu a bath, and Hamza has been given a challenge to film one of the park’s rhino horns very close up – an easy job when the subject is still, something the rhinos rarely are. Show less
