Series 4

6: Giant Giraffes and Raucous Ruffs

Duration: 28 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LWLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LW

In this episode, Sue and Team Nature Table return to ZSL London Zoo.

The complexities of being a giraffe, badass Tenrecs, the outrageous sexual behaviour of Ruffs and how eggs are made all wow the London Zoo audience.

Sue is joined by special guests: Natural History Museum’s principal researcher Dr. Natalie Cooper, Zoological writer / broadcaster Jules Howard and award-winning writer comedian Bridget Christie.

Nature Table has a simple clear brief: to positively celebrate and promote the importance of all our planet’s wonderfully wild flora and fauna in a fun and easily grasped way... whilst at the same time having a proper giggle.

For this series of Sue Perkins’ ARIA-winning ‘Show and Tell’ wildlife comedy, Team Nature Table have recorded at the Natural History Museum, Kew Gardens and London Zoo.
