Season 2

Almost ten million people visit Australia's zoos every year, but this series, hosted by Melissa Doyle, reveals what these visitors never get the chance to ordinarily see.

We take a behind-the-scenes look at some of Australia’s finest zoos.

Experience the drama, joy, danger, compassion, exhilaration and heart-ache of life inside these remarkable animal sanctuaries.

In the premiere episode, for the first time in Australia, the birth of a baby gorilla is captured on camera - something that has never been done in the wild.

Plus, keepers are hoping for a successful match when they introduce Australian Sea Lions Kira and Mali.

Tombo the lion has a painful problem with his feet. And an extremely shy Australian native has arrived after being hit by a car.
