| Summary |
Meet Chris Humfrey, a zoologist who lives with his young family and their really big dog in an idyllic bush haven in country Victoria. But the Humfreys also share their home with a few other pets more than 2000 and each one of them needs care and attention 24/7. This isn't your average family home. It's a private zoo where human and animal sagas unfold on a daily basis. Follow Chris in this chaotic, animal crazy series that captures the drama, the danger, the animal antics and the sheer exhilaration of Chris Humfrey's Wild Life. Every day, a new saga unfolds at the zoo. Chris's dream has come true. He has successfully bred 15 tiger quolls. Always keen to educate kids about this endangered species, Chris decides to adopt two quoll joeys to hand rear and take into classrooms. The dingo pups have grown up and now need to be socialised before appearing in public. The emu chicks have also grown up. Out in the wild they are predator and prey, but for now the dingoes and emus get up to all sorts of antics. Chris is on his final mission. His main purpose for breeding the quolls this year was to raise their numbers in captivity. To maintain genetic diversity Chris plans to swap some with another wild life park. So Chris is off to Sydney's Featherdale Park. But just how do you travel interstate with a couple of feisty young quolls on the plane?PRODUCTION DETAILSA December Films Production for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and ITV Studios Global Entertainment (c) December Films and Film Victoria |
