Episode 15 of 15

Ben and Kate look for signs that the park鈥檚 southern koala breeding programme - the only one in Europe - has resulted in a joey.

The keepers in Koala Creek are on tenterhooks as they await news of the park鈥檚 southern koala breeding programme, the only one of its kind in Europe. After experienced dad Burke mated with all three females, everyone鈥檚 eyes are peeled for signs of pregnancy. But koala joeys are just two centimetres long when born and hide out in their mum鈥檚 pouch for the first few months of life. As the keepers prepare for every eventuality, will a heat-sensitive camera detect a raised temperature that could indicate the park鈥檚 first ever koala joey is on its way?

Ben joins the park鈥檚 two troublesome tiger cubs, Rusty and Yuki, for their first birthday bash. The youngsters are in for a treat, as keeper Amy has constructed an extraordinary cake - sausage, fish and all!

After 20 years of working at the park, Kate is allowed to walk the giraffe out to pasture. It鈥檚 a risky job. Rothschild鈥檚 giraffes are skittish, capable of charging at 30 miles per hour and have a kick strong enough to take down a lion. Experienced keeper Tina is there to guide her through every exhilarating step.

Jean Johansson joins keeper James to take a closer look at the anatomy of Gwen, a huge hairy tarantula. But as Jean confronts her fears, she sees the beautiful and fascinating creature behind the scary spider stereotype.
