Episode 13 of 15

Kate meets a young zebra in crisis, Ben plays Sherlock Holmes to find escaped porcupines, and Jean learns what happens when a lion comes face to face with itself.

Kate meets Turnip, a young Grant鈥檚 zebra, who has suddenly become lame. Is the cause a strange neurological condition called wobblers disease, or are the other zebras picking on the youngest in the herd? Whatever it is, little Turnip faces an uncertain future.

Prehensile-tailed porcupines Squash and Pumpkin are proper little escape artists. Using their long, monkey-like tails to climb, they flee their enclosure at night to roam wherever they want, putting themselves in danger. Ben plays Sherlock Holmes to track them down, and a special camera rig is built to capture exactly how these two rascals are getting out.

Jean Johansson is with keeper Caleb as Harry the lion comes face to face with his own reflection and life-size photographs of other male lions. Will he attack them as he might in the wild, and will his pride of lionesses stay loyal to their fella?
