Episode 10 of 15

Behind the scenes at Longleat. Which croc can triumph in the high jump? And tragedy strikes amongst the two rare wombats, the only ones of their kind in Europe.

All bets are on Fang and Keo, the two fearsome Cuban crocodiles who have just taken up residence at the park. Ben Fogle and Kate Humble reveal how the crocs’ cousins in the wild are known for their leaping prowess - propelling themselves out of the water to reach heights of two metres to snatch prey from overhanging branches. But which of the two girls in Animal Adventure has got what it takes to mimic this behaviour? Fang is the stronger of the two. Keo might be weaker but what she lacks in brawn, she makes up for in brain. Let battle commence!

Jean Johansson meets the wombats, cousins of the koalas. While the furball marsupials went up trees, wombats stayed on the ground. Jean discovers how Longleat's duo of hairy-nosed wombats, the only ones of their kind in Europe, have built-in armour to deter predators - but suddenly, tragedy strikes.
