Over five days we meet a menagerie of magnificent animalspandas, elephants, gorillas, meerkats, flamingos and morealongside the longtime animal lover, scientist, and researcher Caitlin O'Connell. With inside access to the guidance and knowledge of their beloved zoo caretakers and with stunning photographs, we are able to see the day-to-day marvelsand sometimes misfortunesbehind the animals' enclosures that often go unseen by the everyday zoo visitor.
