Summer 2020: Episode 8
Wolves Max and Mel are repeatedly being attacked by the pack’s alpha male, and their injuries are becoming more serious. So the keepers embark on an ambitious project to create a completely new pack with a difference – it’s all female. \n\nDid you hear about the aardvarks that wear factor-50 sun cream? Kate meets these pampered creatures and helps prepare a mealworm and avocado food hunt to get them digging. \n\nBen gets a peek at some incredible footage of male koala Burke as the park’s new breeding programme takes a huge step forward. The staff have their fingers crossed for a koala joey arrival. \n\nMeanwhile, keeper James tries to persuade Jean Johansson that cockroaches are insects worth getting to know. Spoiler alert – he fails!
