| Summary |
Wild Life at the Zoo is an intimate observational documentary series about the behind-the-scenes lives of animals at Taronga Zoo in Sydney. Filmed for over a year and with unprecedented access to keepers and vets, series two captures some of the most dramatic events in the zoo's history. From the 'Bold and the Beautiful' sex lives of meerkats, to the courting rituals of White Rhinos charging at each other at 35 kilometres an hour, to the antics of Monroe, the Fjordland Crested Penguin as he meets the public for the first time, Wild Life at the Zoo captures some of the most extraordinary events in the lives of some of the most fascinating animals on the planet.In episode three, the story made national headlines, but what really happened when a zoo keeper was crushed by an elephant and nearly died? The two-year-old elephant Pathi Harn crushed senior zookeeper Lucy Melo who nursed him since his miraculous birth. Tests after the accident revealed an unusually high level of testosterone for the young elephant. We see Lucy on her first day returning to work after recovering from her serious injuries. What happens when Lucy sees Pathi Harn for the first time since the accident?PRODUCTION DETAILS:Imagination Production House. EP is Bettina Hollings |
