Secrets of the Zoo: Down Under

Zookeepers have noticed that their silverback gorilla Kibali, has been unwell. But giving a nearly two-hundred-kilogram gorilla an injection is not as straightforward as it sounds.

Zoo staff embark on an ambitious, year-long undertaking in an effort to help Naomi the chimpanzee overcome a complicated medical condition in the hope of finally becoming a mother.

The keepers guess how many cubs Mayah the lioness will give birth to.

In one of the biggest vet procedures ever performed at Taronga Zoo nearly thirty staff and specialists are involved in the risky sedation of their 5.5 metre tall giraffe Jimiyu.

Lioness Maya has a fractured tooth, leading to a potentially life-threatening abscess. Taking a 160-kilogram cat to the dentist requires a team effort.
