Episode 14

BBC One - Animal Park, Summer 2022, Episode 14

Have the lions still got their killer instinct?

A fierce territorial battle has begun at the park, but it’s not between the lions or tigers - it’s the rabbits.

Kate Humble and Ben Fogle return to Longleat Safari Park for another spectacular summer series following the fascinating stories of the exotic animals and the keepers who look after them.

Lions, tigers and wolves are all fiercely territorial and will fight off newcomers without hesitation, but when it comes to defending their patch, few creatures are more fearsome than rabbits. Keeper Gemma attempts to introduce a pair of new rabbits into the group already at the park. She begins by creating a wall down the middle of the enclosure, so all the rabbits can sense each other, but even this is not without risk. Serena, one of the largest and oldest rabbits in the group, could become overwhelmed by the situation, and there is a real risk of her suffering a heart attack. 

Meanwhile, Kate helps Caleb as he attempts to fire up the wild instincts of the famous lions, and wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin trains his long lens on his favourite animals at the park, the gorillas. The keepers have noticed some changes in the hierarchy between the boys, but what clues can Hamza find to back up the keepers' theory?
