Summer Special 2019: Episode 5
Ben Fogle and Kate Humble meet the newest diva at the park, Inny the giant otter. Everyone’s fallen in love with this new arrival, but she’s a lady who’s used to getting her own way. So how can keepers hope to bring her to heel for her own safety – especially as she’s about to be reunited with her old mate Gordito? If she won’t play ball, will it be vicious claws and teeth when the two old lovers come face to face with each other again rather than the love story keepers are hoping for?\n\nSaying hello to Inny means also saying a sad goodbye to some of the most entertaining characters at the park. Longleat’s Penguin Island is no more: Avian malaria decimated the Humboldt colony. Only a few birds survived, and they have gone to other collections. Kate catches up with keepers Georgia and Lucy to reminisce about some of their favourite penguins and their unforgettable antics.\n\nMeanwhile, the park is on red alert as one of the carnivores goes missing! As keepers go into lockdown, is this the real thing or a drill to keep everyone on their toes?\n\nJean Johansson discovers why koalas can sometimes hamper Australian detectives, and helps one of nature’s muscle men with a very muscular workout.
