A major breed-and-release conservation project is under way to save Scotland’s wildcats. Elsewhere, a young bird shatters her leg and Yang Guang proves giant pandas are as clever as they are cute

Head keeper Alison shows the trust she has built with male giant panda Yang Guang over their ten years of working together, while
vet Adam has the difficult task of rebuilding the shattered leg of a young vulturine guinea fowl.

With conservation at the core of work at Edinburgh Zoo and Highland Wildlife Park, the Saving Wildcats team at Highland Wildlife Park make huge progress with their breed-and-release project in a bid to save Scotland’s Wildcats from extinction.

Bringing the conservation message to a virtual audience, education officer Jasper has a tricky moment as he goes live with a group of five-year-olds keen to learn about polar bears. While Jasper grapples with the technology, star of the show, Walker, loses patience and wanders away from the spotlight.

And in Edinburgh, seven feisty pelicans need to be caught for their annual health check, and their newly revamped enclosure tests the window-cleaning skills of Nick and Barry.

Narrated by Gail Porter.
