Episode 8

Behind the scenes at Longleat. There is trouble in Wolf Wood as one of the six cubs is seriously injured by the rest of the pack and must go into isolation for her own safety.

There is trouble brewing in Wolf Wood as Meg, one of the six-year-old pups, is being badly bullied. Ben Fogle and Kate Humble discover how seriously she has been injured as the pack of European grey wolves turn on her. Her wounds need urgent treatment and, as she is put into isolation, keepers face a grim dilemma as Meg鈥檚 fate hangs in the balance.

Ben meets his old nemesis, Rio the cockatoo. The two have never quite seen eye to eye and loveable Rio鈥檚 antics are as outrageous as ever. But might Ben鈥檚 latest mission to win over the tearaway teenager bring Rio onside? Or is that just too big a hope?

Kate finds out why Longleat visitors might unwittingly being endangering the mischievous macaques. It is a rite of passage to have these little monkeys take a ride on your car, but there is a real risk to their health - and if you leave your windows open, beware. In a special stunt, Kate discovers just what havoc they can wreak.

And Jean Johansson discovers why the praying mantis is the black belt of the insect world.
