Zoo Babies

A small army of zoo experts were sent to a German zoo to count everything from pink flamingos to fish. Have you ever tried counting a wall-sized tank of fish, constantly moving about? The elephants pose a different problem - how to measure them using a large ruler and piece of string?

Visit a baby chimp at Sydney's Toronga Zoo; an Indian village which has adopted an abandoned sloth bear cub; and see a couple of twin chimpanzees which were a surprise to the Israeli zoo they live in, with the keepers unaware the twins' mother was even pregnant!

We look at the strange and exotic newcomers to zoos and wildlife parks around the world, including Munster Zoo in Germany, where an orphaned Gorilla is being raised by her keepers to adulthood. And meet Esperanza, a baby Giraffe with ingrown "toenails"!

This time on our tour of the world's zoos and wildlife parks, we get to meet a lot of cheeky monkeys - including a chimpanzee who can paint! Also, we check on a baby koala separated from his mother as she was ill, and looked after by dedicated keepers at Sydney's Toronga Zoo.

We visit countries such as Hungary, Denmark, Australia, Thailand and India to capture the various new editions to their famous zoos. Watch baby orangutans learn how to use a computer, and discover why hippos are considered one of the most dangerous animals in Africa.

We take a look at the new arrivals of zoological gardens and wildlife parks around the world, and watch the inventory at Germany's oldest zoo, where even notoriously difficult to manage camels have to be weighed and measured!
