Animal Park: Summer 2023: Episode 9

Episode 9

BBC One - Animal Park, Summer 2023, Episode 9

Kate and Ben find out if the binturongs are finally falling in love.

Kate Humble and Ben Fogle discover what it’s like to become lunch for a lion.

Ever wondered how it would feel to be eaten by a pride of lions? Well now you can find out, because Kate and the team have managed to capture a prey’s-eye view of exactly what it would be like and possibly the most lethal Animal Park footage ever!

There is also an update on one of the least successful love stories ever. Binturongs are a tree-dwelling mammal found in the rainforests of South East Asia. They are also considered vulnerable to extinction, so it’s important that animals in captivity do their bit to boost the numbers. But in the case of Baloo and Adana, things haven’t quite gone to plan. The keepers thought they would be the perfect match, but when they were first paired up, neither showed the slightest bit of interest. Things really went off the rails when Baloo was more interested in getting out of his enclosure than getting intimate with Adana. So will this be the year that this pair finally get it on? One thing is for certain. The committed keepers are not giving up on their mission of successfully breeding binturong babies, and today they put a new plan into action they hope might just do the trick. 

Wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin is used to hiding himself away in the most secretive spots to get pictures of the planet’s most elusive animals, but today his challenge is a bit different. Hamza’s mission is to befriend a kangaroo, known as Brave, who is notoriously nervous around men. Can Hamza win him over?
