This observational documentary series follows the daily drama of life at Britain's biggest zoo. Chester Zoo is home to 7,000 animals from 400 species, and is visited by more than a million people each year.

Tuesday's instalment sees Rafters the giraffe hit by a life-threatening illness, which worries the keepers. In the reptile house, meanwhile, the vets get to grips with one of the world's largest snakes.

On Wednesday, the torrential summer rain threatens to wipe out Chester Zoo's baby flamingos. Keepers must act fast to avert disaster as parent birds squabble over the remains of their flooded nest sites.

Thursday's edition finds senior keeper Darren Langford playing mum to a baby bird as the battle to save Chester Zoo's flood-hit flamingo colony continues.

And on Friday, there is cause for celebration at the zoo as two cubs are born to a pair of beautiful but endangered red pandas.
