Overview

The animals play the main role in this series. The animals are the real main characters and the supporting roles are for the caretakers or zoo staff. Decisive for the program is the camera technology, which shows the animals' lives everywhere behind the scenes and out of sight of the audience. We experience the 24-hour feeling within the walls of the zoo, just like the animals themselves. The program is recorded at Ouwehands Zoo in Rhenen, the Netherlands.

Overview

Malayan bear Cindy can never be found in the tree. This is striking for this species, which is known for its climbing talent. José from the zoo in Rhenen visits a nature conservation project on Borneo and at the same time gets inspiration for Cindy's climbing problem. Orangutan man Bako can dig in the sand for hours. Daughter Minggu and her mother Tjintah watch intently to see what he actually pulls out of the ground. Young sea lion man Don is a real 'Don Juan' and makes frantic attempts to seduce the ladies in the group. There's just one problem: Don isn't the leader of the group; that's Nick. And it tolerates no competition.
