Sumatran tiger cubs Spot and Stripe are now approaching a year old, and living at Australia Zoo in Queensland under the care of their surrogate dad, British tiger expert Giles Clark.
Giles must guide the brothers to adulthood in a few weeks’ time, and deal with the teenage rebellion that ensues. To add to Giles’ responsibilities Spot is almost blind, and Giles must help him adjust to life at the zoo.
Spot and Stripe have been raising awareness about the plight of critically endangered tigers in Sumatra, and the Clark family make a big decision to safeguard the cub’s wild cousins – It’s time to hit the road!
Giles’s wife Kerri and 9 year old son Kynan join Giles on a road trip through Indonesia, getting up close and personal with the jungle’s iconic species; from orang-utans, to elephants, to tigers. It’s a million miles away from the suburbs they’re used to, but they’re determined to make a difference.
In Sumatra they join rescued elephants patrolling the national parks protecting tigers, and the habitat in which they live.
They decide to leave a lasting legacy, and build an enclosure so the Elephants are able to fully socialise for the first time.
