A beloved wallaby mum is facing a life-threatening condition. Keepers are holding their breath as they wait to find out whether Lara is suffering from lumpy jaw, a devastating illness with no cure. If the worst happens, her young joey could be left orphaned. It鈥檚 an anxious wait as vet Alex delivers his verdict.

Meanwhile, over in Lion Country, Megan and Hamza join forces for a special enrichment challenge as they find out if the big cats will hunt up trees!

At the giraffe house, Kate and Tom use a specialist 360-degree camera to get a unique view of the herd, but will the images reveal clues to what the problem with one of them might be?
