- Summary:
- How do you help an elephant overcome his fear of water? How do you teach a sloth how to navigate a forest? Focusing on two locations, Africa and Costa Rica, this observational documentary series meets animals with some extraordinary survival stories, and follows the people determined to help them get back to a life in the wild. Travelling to rescue centres in both locations, the series encounters characters like Moyo, the baby elephant separated from his mother when he was swept down a river; Mandy the tapir who escaped hunters in Costa Rica; and Kermie and Lockett, the sloths learning about life in the forest thanks to a climbing frame. In Zimbabwe, Lucy Cooke meets Moyo, a baby elephant who has been living with carer Roxy since he was just a few days old. He was found close to starvation on the banks of a river. Roxy hopes to return Moyo to the wild, but only if he can overcome his fear of water. In Costa Rica, Patrick Aryee meets Robin, an orphaned anteater who must prove to surrogate mum Pedro that he can fend for himself before he can return to the rainforest.
