Episode 9
Behind the scenes at Longleat. Red, the amur tiger, is turning out to be a tearaway teenager, so how can keepers stop him from launching terrifying attacks on visitors’ cars and running amok?
Red, the amur tiger, is turning out to be a tearaway teenager with a penchant for chasing and attacking cars. It is a hunting instinct that might run deep in his DNA but, as Kate Humble and Ben Fogle reveal, this rarest of ferocious felines needs to be taught some manners - especially after one visitor has an encounter which was just a little too close for comfort. Keeper Caleb has a reputation for bringing big cats to heel but has he got what it takes to stop this big, bad, beautiful boy from running amok?
Adorable Preston the six banded armadillo isn’t just a big personality. He is a big lad too - a bit too big for his own health. Porky Preston needs some help. As Kate turns personal trainer, can she him help with a fitness routine to burn off the flab and get an armadillo six-pack a prospective Mrs P couldn’t fail but to admire?
Ben is with Viscountess Weymouth to discover how the park is at the helm of a special conservation mission to save the rare desertas wolf spider. Critically endangered and only found in one remote valley in Madeira, numbers have toppled to around just 4,000. They need all the help they can get.
And Jean Johansson is planning some monkey business to keep the mischievous macaques out of trouble as she helps with a special pond ladder to test their ingenuity, intelligence and gymnastic prowess.
