Anna, head-keeper Ross and the team head off on a mission to Ross' Irish home to pick up four extremely rare and dangerous Scimitar Horned Oryx; holding this species will put Anna's dream endangered species breeding project on course.

The meerkat breeding program begins; judging by the twinkle in their eyes, it looks like baby meerkats may be on the way.

Education is at the forefront of the zoo's priorities, but it's not just the visitors and school field trips that are doing the learning; Steve and Lisa, the resident gibbons, receive some complex training.

Anna wants to learn more about the native wildlife living amongst her collection; she discovers several of local species, from bugs to badgers, who have made the zoo their home.

Anna is finding it increasingly difficult to let go of her llamas; meanwhile, the gibbons are ready to reproduce.

As babies are being born left and right, Anna finally gets to meet her rhino for the first time; though she must travel halfway across the country to do so.
