Real Life in the Zoo

The animals play the main role in this series. The animals are the real main characters and the supporting roles are for the caretakers or zoo staff. Decisive for the program is the camera technology, which shows the animals' lives everywhere behind the scenes and out of sight of the audience. We experience the 24-hour feeling within the walls of the zoo, just like the animals themselves. The program is recorded at Ouwehands Zoo in Rhenen, the Netherlands.

Episode 6

Meerkat brothers Barry and Bob are far too lazy and therefore overweight. For more than 30 years, the Rotterdam Zoo has been working on a groundbreaking vaccine against the deadly elephant herpes virus. Polar bear female Huggies may have osteoarthritis. To know for sure, she needs to undergo a scan, but that is not an option for a polar bear in the warm summer weather. Fortunately, the keepers have come up with a test; without Huggies having to go under anesthesia.
