Christmas Special: Episode 5

It is nearly Christmas and for the very first time, in a special week of programmes, Animal Park is heading to Longleat Safari Park for the festive season! Kate Humble and Ben Fogle wrap up every wonderful moment as the keepers ensure all their creatures are warm and enjoying their busy festive season. Today features Christmas treats, a potential Christmas romance and a worrying time for a wintry animal. Amongst all the festivities, there is a problem with one of the animals. A keeper has discovered a concerning abscess on one of her red pandas, Koda. After antibiotics and painkillers fail to help the growth, he needs an urgent visit to the vet for an operation. Will he be cured in time for Christmas? It is the Christmas rom-com film we all look forward to - two strangers meeting and falling in love. But animals don’t always follow the script. The park are opening up a couple of big presents - two new warthogs brought in to start a new family line. There is lots of preparation to get their new home ready, but the keepers are nervous – the warthogs have never met. Fingers crossed for love, actually. And there are festive treats all around, Jean Johansson helps prepare a Christmas pudding for the anteaters, the parrots show her why they don’t need a nutcracker and Jean finds out if any animals like sprouts!
