Episode 8

We follow the departure of Kavi and Ashoka, 2 Asian elephant bulls, as they head off to start a new life in Sydney, under the matriarchal eye of Saigon, an ex-circus elephant who hasn’t seen another elephant in over a decade. 

In Sea lion Cove, the monthly maintenance is underway. As zookeeper Christine feeds and checks the sea lions, Ralph, a scuba diver, gives the cleaning and filtration systems the once over.

Dublin Zoo’s Okapi are the rarest animal in the zoo. When Lumara, the breeding female, shows signs of pregnancy, Helen and the team prepare for a historic birth.
