Summer 2020 (Shortened Versions): Episode 12



Romance seems to be brewing in the cheetah house with new girl Rachel and ladies man Carl. But will the partnership result in babies? There’s a concern that Carl is too old to become a father again, but with two of his sons vying to be next in line to woo Rachel, Carl needs to watch his back.\n\nMeanwhile, in an incy wincy corner of Animal Adventure, a lone male desertas wolf spider is attempting to save his entire species by mating with a rather scary female who goes by the name of Exorcist. As many female spiders are cannibals who eat their partners, keeper James isn’t sure whether their courtship will read like a romantic novel or end up being a horror story.\n\nJean Johansson joins keeper Rosie and Alima the Bactrian camel for some laser treatment with Tony the animal osteopath. Ben’s in fine voice when he’s invited to a ninth birthday party for AJ the red panda, and Kate loses out to Burke the koala in a popularity contest as she rifles through his extensive fan mail.
