As rare Amur tiger Yana goes into labour, will her cubs be fit and healthy?

Behind the scenes at Longleat. Is the pitter-patter of tiny – and healthy – tiger feet imminent as rare Amur tiger Yana goes into labour?

Is the pitter-patter of tiny tiger feet imminent? After weeks of speculation, Kate Humble and Ben Fogle reveal the signs that rare Amur tiger Yana is definitely pregnant. Anxious not to miss the historic birth of cubs – the first at the park for nearly 20 years – keepers install special cameras in the Tiger House, which also enable them to closely monitor Yana’s heath at a safe distance. Everyone holds their breath as first-time mum Yana finally goes into labour. But she gives birth and her cub is lifeless. Is this stillborn going to be her one and only cub? If there are others on the way, are they likely to face the same fate? What are the chances of healthy cubs?

Kate goes on the early morning breakfast rounds to check that all the animals in Animal Adventure are not just up and about but also in fine fettle.

And Jean Johansson discovers why coconuts are just the job for the dental health of cape porcupines.
