In today’s episode, Kate Humble and Ben Fogle meet a lovelorn emu. Ever since Bourbon arrived at Family Farm, she has been a bit of a loner, but keeper Gemma reckons she has got just the boy to woo her and win her heart. Bounty might not be a pin-up, but Gemma dreams of baby emus. The trouble is Bourbon runs a mile the minute Bounty - not necessarily the most sensitive of Romeos - gets anywhere near her. Can Kate come up with a recipe to ensure this pair enjoy a dinner for two? Or will too many feathers be ruffled?\n\nThe park’s much-loved lions get riled by their mortal enemy as Jean Johansson and keeper Caleb give them a true call of the wild.\n\nAnd there is a tribute to one of the greatest loves of all - the powerful bond formed between keeper Tina and her park favourite, Mini the massive moose! Tina tries to help her new gal pal as she comes under attack from some pesky birds. But can she protect her?
