Animal Park Catch up, Summer 2020 (Shortened Versions): Episode 13 on BBC 2

Animal Park

Summer 2020 (Shortened Versions): Episode 13

Kate meets little Turnip–a young Grant’s zebra who has suddenly become lame. Is the cause a strange neurological condition called wobblers disease, or are the other zebras picking on the youngest in the herd? Whatever it is, little Turnip faces an uncertain future.\n\nPrehensile-tailed porcupines Squash and Pumpkin are proper little escape artists. Using their longmonkey-liketails to climb, they flee their enclosure at night to roam wherever they want to, putting themselves in danger. Ben plays Sherlock Holmes to track them down, and a special camera rig is built to catch exactly how these two rascals are getting out so the keepers can work out what can be done to stop them.\n\nJean Johansson is with keeper Caleb as Harry the lion comes face to face with his own reflection and life-size photographs of other male lions. Will he attack them as he might in the wild, and will his pride of lionesses stay loyal?
