Episode 8

The park sees the formation of its first ever all female wolf pack; can this girl power last? The aardvarks do some work to get dinner, and Jean hears why cockroaches are amazing.

Wolves Max and Mel are being repeatedly attacked by the pack’s alpha male, and their injuries are becoming more serious. So the keepers embark on an ambitious project to create a completely new pack with a difference – it’s all female.

Did you hear about the aardvarks that wear factor fifty sun cream? Well Kate has met these pampered creatures and helps prepare a mealworm and avocado food hunt to get them digging.

Ben gets a peek at some incredible footage of male koala Burke as the park’s new breeding programme takes a huge step forward. The staff have their fingers crossed for a koala joey arrival.

Meanwhile, keeper James tries to persuade Jean Johansson that cockroaches are insects worth getting to know.
