Ben and Kate find out how moving will encourage the secretary birds to mate and serve up a healthy meal to a wise old wolf. Jean finds out how to determine the gender of a scorpion.

A romantic liaison is planned between two crafty kinkajous. But these animals have sharp teeth and claws, so the keepers must keep a close eye on this first date. If all goes well, the park could have its first ever kinkajou baby. Are they a match?

Kate administers a calming treat to Razina the rhino. She鈥檚 been undergoing fertility treatment to help rescue the northern white rhino species.

Armed with just a pillowcase and some protective glasses, the keepers move two secretary birds to a new enclosure. With an impressive kick that can stun a snake, they must approach them with caution- especially when confronted confronting feisty female Janine.

Ben serves up a healthy lunch to wise old wolf Dave, who鈥檚 still one of the park鈥檚 most popular animals.

Could you tell the difference between a male and female scorpion? Jean Johansson finds out how to do just that.
