Animal Park Summer 2021
Episode 3 of 15

The tiger cubs are growing fast, but one youngster is fighting with his family. It is normal behaviour, but the keepers must act fast to prevent serious injuries.

Growing up is hard to do, especially if you’re a tiger. The park’s young male tiger, Rusty, is being far from charming. His rough pawing and attention seeking are raising tempers with his sister and mother, changing the once harmonious family dynamic. The behaviour is natural, but the keepers are concerned and feel they must intervene to prevent any serious injuries. In the wild, male tigers are solitary animals, so the keepers decide to separate Rusty from his mum and sister at night. But how will the animals react?

Elsewhere in the park, there have been two tiny new additions, arriving as part of an international breeding programme. They are a pair of dik-diks, a tiny species of antelope. The keepers are thrilled to see signs of a potential pregnancy, but just days later, they make a discovery that points to an illness. Working with the vet, they must diagnose the problem, hoping that it doesn’t risk the future of the breeding programme.

Meanwhile, Kate helps perform a rhino health check using a very large set of bathroom scales, and Jean Johansson helps the keepers feed the stick insects whilst ensuring nothing goes to waste at the park.
