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 Indian rhinos charging at each other at 35 kilometres an hour, to the antics of Monroe, the fiordland 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.A pair of fennec foxes are about to become parents for the first time. Male fennec foxes can be excellent partners and fathers. He might be the perfect dad but the mother could easily turn on her newborn babies and eat them. A mystery illness almost wiped out this herd of white rhinos, now the entire breeding program depends on this lonely pregnant survivor. We meet Mr Munro, the only fiordland crested penguin around the world to be in a zoo. Can this wild penguin become the star of the show at Taronga? PRODUCTION DETAILS:Imagination Production House.
