The Zoo (Ireland)

Over in the African Plains, Kildare, a 23-year old zebra has caught the attention of the zookeepers. In the Gorilla Rainforest, the troupe have been living with two new babies, Asali and Kavuli. As a wave of avian flu sweeps Europe, the Flamingos have to be kept inside during the day for their own safety. The zookeepers are using this opportunity to make some much needed upgrades.

Having undergone a dental procedure, Kildare the zebra is still struggling to stand up after being under anaesthetic. The team face race against time to save the elderly zebra. Jasmina the Red Panda finds there is a new male in town.

Chaka, the male Southern white rhinoceros is reunited with the females after being separated from them for a period of time. Nanyuki the Eastern bongo has given birth to a beautiful calf. Qiemo, the male snow leopard, hasn't been himself of late so the veterinary team investigate.
