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

Young giraffe stallion Jafari is very impressed by the scents that the ladies in the herd spread. However, he has very special habits to find out whether a female is fertile. Giant panda Wu shows abnormal behavior and eventually withdraws into her maternity den. Could this mean that she is indeed going to give birth to a long-awaited cub, or maybe even two? Koala male Arru suddenly shows worrying behavior: he sleeps on the ground. And that is abnormal behavior for a koala. It is feared that Arru may be ill.
