Secrets of the Zoo: Tampa

Big changes are coming for some of ZooTampa's favorite critters. Over at Penguin Beach, the team keeps a close eye on a penguin couple and their two fertilized eggs and must intervene when one of the eggs starts to slowly hatch without making much progress. Meanwhile, the Reptiles Team has been waiting years for a Komodo dragon to lay eggs for the first time!

Things are chilly at ZooTampa! With winter temperatures barely reaching the 50s, the animal care team must help keep the zoo inhabitants warm. Critical-care manatees struggle with the cold while an aging penguin develops a limp. Meanwhile, there is nothing routine about a medical procedure for endangered African wild dogs.

The team prepares to welcome a new resident to ZooTampa: an adorable sun bear. Meanwhile, two leopard sisters are working on desensitization training to get ready for the sights and sounds at their new home. Red wolves say goodbye to the zoo as part of a vital breeding program.

ZooTampa is baby crazy! The newborn rhino is ready for training, but first, the team must decide on a name. A monkey is preparing for a birth of its own, but the team needs to intervene, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Additionally, the Africa team conducts a social experiment with two elephants.

Florida wildlife take the spotlight as the team prepares to relocate two panther cubs, and a young manatee must prove it can survive in the wild. Additionally, the reptiles team races against the clock to breed a pair of snakes. The vet staff has a big problem when a tiny seahorse needs surgery on a troubling lump.

The youngsters are causing trouble; a pregnant rhino waits and waits to give birth; two orphaned panther kittens explore new environments; a young zebra tries to dodge a checkup.
