Episode 13
Kate Humble attempts a speed test on a pair of cackling hyena.
Kate Humble and Ben Fogle return to Longleat Safari Park for another spectacular summer series following the fascinating stories of the exotic animals and the keepers who look after them.
Over the years, we have trained our speed gun on some of the most impressive animals on the planet. On paper, the fastest two at the park should be the cheetah and the ostrich, but it has not been easy to get them to run flat-out at the park. One species that we have never clocked the top speed of is the hyena. In the wild, they are endurance runners and can run for several kilometres at a pace of approximately 40 miles per hour. Can Kate and keeper Kayleigh get them running?
Elsewhere, the park’s ostriches are laying eggs, and the keepers are doing everything they can to help them hatch. Also, wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin spends an hour studying the famous lions at the park, but he gets more than he’s hoping for when handsome Harry gets amorous with one of his lionesses, and zoologist Megan McCubbin gives a home makeover to the emperor scorpions.
