Christmas Special: Episode 2
For a safari park, a young female cheetah is pretty much at the top of your Christmas list. Rachel has come to the park as part of its successful cheetah breeding programme, but new arrivals don’t come without their challenges. Now the keepers have a festive love triangle on their hands to rival every Christmas Day soap opera storyline. Carl, the male, is already in a mating pair with another female. Will Rachel lure him away to start a new family, or will he stay with his long term love, Wilma? \n\nIt will be a much simpler Christmas for Anne the elephant, who will be pulling her very own cracker. And in the run-up to the festive season, the annual fireworks displays at Longleat House are some of the biggest events of the year, with thousands of people arriving to watch the seasonal spectacles. With so many bangs and explosions, Jean Johansson is with the keepers as they ensure their animals aren’t affected by the loud noises and explosions.
