Britain’s biggest zoo has opened its doors – for a brand new series on Five.
Chester Zoo has 7,000 animals, over 400 species, and more than a million visitors every year. With so many animals, ranging from ants to elephants, something is born in the zoo almost every day. Vets at Chester’s state-of-the-art animal hospital do not think twice about treating a 22 footlong reticulated python with pneumonia, or helping an Asiatic lion prepare for the birth of her cubs.
This observational documentary series follows the zoo’s daily dramas as they unfold. Stories range from that of the flamingo who patiently sits on her precious egg until the nest is almost washed away by the summer floods, to the potentially dangerous introduction of a male elephant to a female who is unwilling to accept his amorous advances. Other storylines will continue throughout the series, following characters like Rafters, the allergy-stricken giraffe. He has an incredible bond with his keeper, who hand-reared him from birth.
