Best of The Zoo takes highlights from the first three seasons of hit show The Zoo, and condenses them into a 10-episode series. These episodes bring to life the daily adventures of the animals at Auckland Zoo, and their dedicated team of zookeepers. Highlights include the heartwarming story of two tiny siamang twins abandoned by their mother, the unveiling of a brand new sea lion habitat, and challenges faced by the elderly chimpanzees who once performed in the zoo’s infamous tea party shows. Zookeeper Trent Barclay later featured in spin-off show Trent’s Wild Cat Adventures. Check out the episode guide for The Best of the Zoo here, and this backgrounder on the award-winning original show.
This is the only animal I reckon that gets cuter as they get older, and at this stage they're just starting to get their personalities. So we’re probably looking for a name for these guys very shortly. I like to sort of name them when they earn themselves a name...– Zookeeper Trent Barclay on the new baby red pandas, in episode one
