Animal Park

Summer 2025: Episode 3

Ben Fogle and Kate Humble celebrate one of Longleat's most remarkable residents, Anne the Asian elephant. Now in her 70s, Anne’s story continues as her devoted keepers battle to give this elderly matriarch the comfortable retirement she deserves. But with her mobility declining, arthritis worsening and a worrying tooth infection, the team face an uphill struggle. Anne receives pioneering treatment and laser therapy, but will these treatments ease her pain and help this dear old lady to keep on going strong? \n\nElsewhere, Ben joins the keepers as they tempt the park’s tiny, elusive Australian marsupial with a mushroom truffle feast, and there’s a race against time to help a lonely lorikeet find love before he’s rejected by his flock for good. \n\nThe park’s lions create a drama of their own as they get their paws on some ostrich egg enrichment, causing sparks to fly within in the pride’s hierarchy. Meanwhile, Hamza’s on the lookout for baby bumps among the sea lions. Could the park soon be welcoming new arrivals?
