BBC One - Animal Park, Summer 2021, Episode 4

How do you find a perfectly camouflaged escaped animal amongst a million trees?

The keepers have a challenge on their hands when one of their residents goes missing. How do you find a perfectly camouflaged escaped animal amongst a million trees?

Longleat's keepers have to be ready for anything in the park, and today they have a challenge on their hands when one of their residents goes missing. While doing the morning rounds, it was discovered that Spud the two-year-old porcupine had disappeared from his enclosure. Any escaped animal, no matter how dangerous, is a serious matter, but how do you find a perfectly camouflaged escaped animal amongst a million trees? He’s a highly skilled climber and well adapted to this climate, but it’s still dangerous for him outside his enclosure. The keepers spread out to hunt him down and search the CCTV footage to retrace his steps.  

Meanwhile, the future of one of the legends of the park, Dave the wolf, hangs in the balance. He has been having problems urinating for a few weeks, and everything points to an infection. Initial medication doesn’t seem to be working, so the keepers and vets have to sedate and X-ray him to diagnose and treat his condition. The whole park holds its breath over the future of this beloved wolf.

Elsewhere in the park, Ben witnesses a three-hour-old red deer fawn take its first steps, and Jean Johansson helps some of the animals behave the way they would in the wild, with an insect-filled log for the armadillo and a tall feeder for the donkeys.
