Episode 5 of 15

The team face a tense tiger weigh-in, while the park’s tortoises wake from hibernation.

Four precious Amur tiger cubs are growing fast, but with only around 400 left in the wild, every step of their journey will be critical. The challenge for the keepers today is weighing the cubs without causing stress or triggering aggression from their fiercely protective mum, Yana.

Meanwhile, there’s drama in Animal Adventure as the park’s century-old tortoises wake from their deep winter slumber. If anything goes wrong during their wake-up routine, it could be fatal.

Ben checks in on Ellie, the orphan wombat, as she explores a new sand-filled home, and Megan puts a hero rat’s sniffing skills to the test in a maze of treats. Hamza uncovers the surprising pecking order among the park’s majestic Ankole cattle, and there’s a whisker-to-whisker battle as Megan and Hamza champion their favourite furry-faced creatures.
