Will it be happy families or a brutal feud when Xena the abandoned cheetah cub is reunited with her mum and siblings?

Has Xena the one-year-old cheetah cub got what it takes to be reunited with her mum? Abandoned at birth, the odds are stacked against this beautiful big cat. She鈥檚 been hand reared and her legs are deformed. Kate Humble and Ben Fogle discover how devoted keeper Matt is doing special exercises with her to strengthen her legs, and osteopath Tony Nevin uses cutting-edge laser treatment to do what he can to help. But how will Xena cope when she comes face to face not just with mum Wilma but the three other cubs she鈥檚 since given birth to? Will it be happy families or a brutal falling out?

For Kate, it鈥檚 nostalgic trip to Nico鈥檚 Island as she visits for the very first time since the park鈥檚 famous gorilla died last year. But she鈥檚 here to celebrate new life and new beginnings as she gets up close to seven colobus monkeys who have taken up residence. But will these fellas, renowned for their leaping abilities, end up in Half Mile Lake?

There鈥檚 tragedy in the Tiger House with the sudden death of 13-year-old Shouri, and Jean Johansson gets up close to some creepy-crawlies famed for being indestructible and finds out why you really wouldn鈥檛 want to kiss a cane toad.
