Learning about nature is a lifelong learning experience, as the people who go to the zoo to learn more demonstrate. It turns out that animals we might at first fear become close when we get to know them in a dignified and relaxed way.
How can you fill the animals' plates with a healthy and appropriate menu? We find out who in the zoo has the greatest food needs and what people can learn from the animals about healthy and varied eating.
In Tallinn, in the middle of a crowded residential area, there is an incredibly unique place. It is home to animals that we know well, but also to some that we might not expect to encounter in the city at first sight.
A long-awaited Tiger Valley has been completed at the zoo. The legendary Amur tiger, Pootsman, and his new girlfriend Danuta are now welcomed to their new home. The tigers' journey to Tallinn brings genuine emotions and unexpected news.
The European mink is a critically endangered species that became extinct in the Estonian wild in the 1990s. They are being bred in Tallinn Zoo and reintroduced into the wild. It is part of a pan-European plan to save the species.
The zoos work to breed animals in danger of extinction and form a network to maintain the diversity of protected species. We see how bearded vultures move to Austria, and how rhinos and a young tiger, Ohana, arrive in Tallinn.
In the final episode we see how the well-being of the zoo animals is cared for. We meet the lemurs and their offspring, and see African elephants enjoying spa treatments. The work of veterinarians can be both rewarding and challenging.
