Episode 12

BBC One - Animal Park, Summer 2020, Episode 12

A male spider tries to save his species, and red panda AJ has a birthday party.

Love is all around as Ben and Kate find out about some vital breeding programmes at the park. Can a lone male spider save his species by wooing a scary female called Exorcist?

In the cheetah house, romance seems to be brewing between new girl Rachel and ladies' man Carl. But will the partnership result in babies? There is a concern that Carl is too old to become a father again, but with two of his sons vying to be next in line to woo Rachel, Carl needs to watch his back.

Meanwhile, in an incy wincy corner of Animal Adventure, a lone male desertas wolf spider is attempting to save his entire species by mating with a rather scary female who goes by the name of Exorcist. As many female spiders are cannibals who eat their partners, keeper James isn’t sure whether their courtship will read like a romantic novel or a horror story.

Jean Johansson joins keeper Rosie and Alima the Bactrian camel for some laser treatment with animal osteopath Tony. Ben is in fine voice when he is invited to a birthday party for AJ the red panda, and Kate loses out to Burke the koala in a popularity contest as she rifles through his extensive fan mail.
