Episode 2

S1, E2: Martin goes to the Russian Far East on the trail of the rarest cat in the world; the amur leopard, where breeding in captivity could be their only future. He follows Colchester Zoo’s attempts to breed their leopards for the first time Martin also visits Kenya and follows a long running and hugely ambitious project aimed at re-introducing orphaned elephants back into the wild. We’ll also meet up with a family of three female gorillas who are desperately in need of a mate, and when a handsome young male arrives from France, there are high hopes they’ll see their first baby gorilla in over twenty years. Whilst over at Belfast Zoo we’ll meet Lily the lion cub, but she’s no ordinary leo. She’s a barbary lion, a species now extinct in the wild.
