Kate Humble and Ben Fogle are back at the park for another day of exciting animal tales. Arabella is a very rare south east Asian binturong. She came to the park as part of a captive-breeding programme, and the keepers had hoped that she might have produced some offspring with mate Tylo. However, Arabella and her boyfriend have been separated following signs of aggression. Not much is known about this endangered species, and keeper Charlie wonders whether the aggression is because Arabella is ill - or could she finally be pregnant? As a precaution, she is taken for a health check, but all is not as it seems, and the vet team must work quickly to find out what is wrong with her. \n\nMeanwhile, keepers Rob, Ryan, Luke and Kev are trying to encourage the rhino to have a mud bath. Rhino skin is very thick, but they are prone to bites like all animals and their skin can be sensitive. Mud is the perfect antidote, but it seems these park heavyweights don’t realise what is good for them. Just how do you get a two-tonne rhino to take a mud bath?\n\nDown in Animal Adventure, Ben Fogle and keeper James are target training a couple of prickly characters: Brussel and Sprout, the park’s two porcupines. The idea is that they will eventually be able to get closer to this spiky pair without risking injury to the animals or themselves. Nobody wants to get pricked by a porcupine.\n\nAnd up in the safari, the training theme continues as keeper Leah is teaching the Bactrian camels on a piece of equipment known as the crush. It might sound terrifying but it is used to inspect the animals in a calm and orderly manner. However, the leader of the group, matriarch Aleema, is not the easiest of students and soon gets the hump.
