There鈥檚 some unexpected behaviour in Wolf Wood. Could the mother of the pack be pregnant?

Kate Humble and Ben Fogle return to Longleat Safari Park for another spectacular summer series, following the fascinating stories of the exotic animals and the keepers who look after them. Today, Kate and Ben find out why love isn鈥檛 always easy 鈥� even for animals.

In this series, we鈥檙e following the incredible story of the birth of Europe鈥檚 first southern koala joey. As koalas are now classified as endangered in parts of Australia, the park鈥檚 breeding programme has never been more important, and with this in mind, the keepers have decided to introduce successful dad Burke to a different female, Maisie. But they鈥檙e both feisty animals, so it's not clear if they can live together, never mind mate with each other? A few days after they are introduced, the keepers spot some surprising behaviour 鈥� but is it good news?

There鈥檚 also some unexpected behaviour in Wolf Wood. The keepers have noticed that the wolves are digging a lot recently, and this could be a clue that the pack is on the brink of enormous change. Could the mother of the pack be pregnant? If so, it could explain why the finely balanced social structure of the pack seems to be off kilter. One of the older offspring should step into the role of protecting the den, but he鈥檚 not cooperating, which has led to the pack turning on him, and suddenly, the vet is called to check his injuries. Resident wildlife cameraman Hamza takes his chance for a closer look at the pack鈥檚 dynamics and check in on the mum to be. Will he find more evidence of pregnancy?
