Returning: Taronga: Who’s Who In The Zoo

Taronga: Who’s Who In The Zoo returns for its fourth season on Nine next week.

Virginia Gay becomes the new narrator, succeesing Naomi Watts, for the series filmed at Taronga Zoo in Sydney and Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo.

Taronga: Who’s Who In The Zoo is produced by McAvoy Media.

In this award-winning observational documentary series, the doors are once again reopened, offering extraordinary access to the amazing work of the keepers, vets, scientists, conservationists and support staff as they go through the ups and downs that come with running one of the world’s most famous zoos.

Viewers will see that when it comes to caring for their animals, nothing is too much trouble for the keepers. From building a bachelor pad for a harassed squirrel monkey to safely teaching a fur seal pup to swim, it’s all in a day’s work.

But there are times when it’s a full team effort. Giraffe Jimiyu requires the biggest team ever assembled of vets, nurses, keepers, specialists, and backyard crew to ensure he makes it through a dangerous general anaesthetic procedure. And with the vision of working to ensure a shared future for wildlife and people, we go into the field with Taronga’s conservationists and see the opening of the latest jewel in Taronga’s crown, an exclusive native animal habitat called Nura Diya Australia.

The welfare of the wildlife remains front and centre in this entertaining, revealing and heartwarming new season of Australia’s captivating zoo life.

Wednesday, November 22, at 7.30pm on Nine.
