Tune in to the Highland Wildlife Park again this week

The owners of the Highland Wildlife Park will feature in the second series of Inside The Zoo.

There are to be 10 new episodes of Tern TV's series shot at Edinburgh Zoo and Kincraig's Highland Wildlife Park, taking viewers behind the scenes of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland's wildlife conservation staff as they work together to save threatened species.

David Field, RZSS chief executive, said, “We were delighted by the reaction to Inside The Zoo last year and the tremendous support our charity has had throughout an incredibly challenging time.

"This new series gives us another wonderful opportunity to share the hard work and passion of our dedicated teams as well as the personalities and quirks of the amazing animals they care for.

“Inside The Zoo gives people the chance to see exactly what it takes to look after species of all shapes and sizes, from our well-loved giant pandas, Yang Guang and Tian Tian, to little-known native insects like the pine hoverfly, and exciting new arrivals like giraffes and sloths.”

Harry Bell, managing director at Tern TV said, “We're thrilled to be working with our favourite families again, the wild animals and the keepers at RZSS, to showcase their wonderful world of science and conservation. It's a joy to make and watch.”

Narrated by Gail Porter, the series provides insight into a world where cutting-edge science, endangered species conservation and the completely and utterly unpredictable are a part of daily life.

Inside The Zoo will air on BBC Scotland, and across the UK on BBC iPlayer, from Monday at 8pm.

BBC Scotland is available on Freeview and YouView (108 HD / 9 SD) , Sky (115), Freesat (106), Virgin Media (108) and BBC iPlayer.
