The Zoo (2010–2014)

Breeding critically-endangered Sumatran tigers, preparing for the arrival of a new baby elephant, and managing a feisty group of chimpanzees – it's all in a day's work for staff at the Zoological Society of London (ZSL). "It's not enough just to be passionate about animals and to love them. You've actually got to almost look inside their head. Anyone can dominate an animal through a cage but getting an animal to co-operate is extremely rewarding." - ZSL London Zoo senior keeper Tony Cholerton.
