Episode 3
There's a new koala at the park, but after such a long journey, will this fussy eater turn his nose up at the Christmas menu?
Winter is drawing in, and for the first time Kate Humble and Ben Fogle are spending the most wonderful time of the year at Longleat Safari Park. There are visitors from afar, shepherds caring for their flocks, and family arguments - pretty much your average Christmas!
He might not be on a sleigh ride, but there’s an amazing present en route from Japan: a new male southern koala to join the existing group. But despite the excitement, it’s a worrying time for the keepers. After such a long journey, will the new marsupial settle in, and will this fussy eater turn his nose up at its Christmas dinner?
Kate witnesses a Christmas family argument on a huge scale. Harry the lion is growing up and growing louder, and his new pride has started roaring in competition with Klaus and Simba’s pride. But what does this mean for the keepers who have to manage this change in behaviour?
There is also family chaos as the meerkats opening their stockings. And somehow he’s avoided the naughty list - the sheep who became an internet viral sensation will be coming face to face with his cameraman nemesis. Will it be good will to all cameramen?
