Baby Planet
African Penguin, Southern White Rhino, Red Panda & Black Panther
S2 E2:
On a small island off the coast of South Africa a dedicated team battles to save the African Penguin from extinction by rescuing, rehabilitating and re-releasing starving and abandoned chicks. Meanwhile, on the mainland we follow the remarkable story of an orphaned White Rhino calf, shot in the head and left for dead by poachers, who is saved and cared for by a wildlife vet. Over in Canada two critically endangered Red Panda cubs struggle to reach maturity after being rejected by their mother. Also featured in Southern France, an infant Black Panthers future is thrown into doubt by a serious illness.
