Summer 2020 (Shortened Versions): Episode 15
The keepers in Koala Creek are on tenterhooks as they await news on the park’s southern koala breeding programme, the only one of its kind in Europe. After experienced dad Burke mated with all three females, everyone’s eyes are peeled for signs of pregnancy. But koala joeys are just two centimetres long when born and hide out in their mum’s pouch for the first few months of life. As the keepers prepare for every eventuality, will a heat-sensitive camera detect a raised temperature that could mean the park’s first ever koala joey is on its way? \n\nBen joins the park’s two troublesome tiger cubs, Rusty and Yuki, for their first birthday bash. The youngsters are in for a treat, as keeper Amy has constructed an extraordinary cake– sausage, fish and all!\n\nThere is an incredible first for Kate. After 20 years of working at the park, today she’s allowed to walk the giraffe out to pasture. It’s a risky job. The Rothschild’s Giraffe are skittish, capable of charging 30 miles an hour and with a kick strong enough to take down a lion. Experienced keeper Tina is there to guide her through every exhilarating step.\n\nJean Johansson is with keeper James to take a closer look at the anatomy of Gwen, a huge hairy tarantula. But as Jean confronts her fears, she sees the beautiful and fascinating creature behind the scary spider stereotype.
