It’s training time for barn owls Rowan and Cedar, and for Dharma the Sumatran tiger.

It’s training time for barn owls Rowan and Cedar, and for Dharma the Sumatran tiger. And Keeper Sarah is hoping she will have a baby armadillo to look after.

In this episode, progress is slow at Edinburgh Zoo as senior keeper Erika patiently attempts to win the confidence of Sumatran tigress Dharma, who doesn’t seem too interested in training.

Meanwhile, barn owls Rowan and Cedar are put through their paces by Jess, Amy and the rest of the keepers on the presentations team - but will they prove they are ready to join the Animal Antics Show and fly free for the public? Jess and Amy explain the importance of tiny technology when it comes to making sure they don’t lose the birds that they work with to the open skies.

At Highland Wildlife Park, a member of the public enjoys the company of male polar bears Arktos and Walker as she takes part in a Keeper for the Day experience. And when intern Hayley joins keeper Rachel to give Arktos and Walker their worming tablets, she discovers that worming just two polar bears is like worming 40 dogs!
