Category: VideoSex change clown fish, parasite shrimp, courting anteaters and rampant giraffe: The Secret Life of the Zoo is back!
BAFTA-nominated The Secret Life of the Zoo is back, with more cameras in parts of Chester Zoo that visitors never see, revealing the private lives of animals as never before.
In the first episode -
Meet male clownfish, Polo, who's been injured while fighting with the other males for the attentions of dominant female, Rosie. The keepers try to heal his wound using an organic method - a cleaner shrimp called Marco! And as clownfish can change sex at will, Polo’s time alone in an isolation tank produces a surprising side effect…
A young giant anteater, Oso, arrives at the zoo as a new partner for widowed older female Bliss. But their first date doesn’t go well when Bliss turns on her new match.
And rampant male Rothschild giraffe, Meru, is causing problems for the giraffe herd – with his relentless chasing of the females.
The Secret Life of the Zoo begins Wednesday 31st October at 8pm
