Crikey! It's the Irwins

Terri assists the veterinary team in determining whether Caballe, the resident rhino, is pregnant. Robert takes on the role of matchmaker for the zoo's Aldabra giant tortoises, arranging potential pairings to encourage breeding as part of the zoo's breeding programme aimed at sustaining the species.

is an episode‑length programme that centres on the day‑to‑day work carried out within a zoo setting. The show follows two staff members as they attend to the reproductive needs of very different animals, offering a glimpse into the practical side of zoo management. In this installment, Terri takes the lead in establishing whether Caballe, a resident rhino, is carrying a calf. She carries out the necessary checks and observations to reach a clear conclusion about the animal’s condition. Meanwhile, Robert is tasked with arranging suitable pairings for the zoo’s Aldabra giant tortoises, guiding the slow‑moving reptiles toward potential mates. Both segments highlight the contrasting approaches required for species that vary greatly in size and biology. Terri’s focus is on a single, large mammal and the urgency of confirming a pregnancy, while Robert’s work involves coordinating the social interactions of a group of long‑lived turtles. The episode therefore juxtaposes the immediacy of a possible rhino birth with the deliberate, patient process of tortoise matchmaking, underscoring the diverse responsibilities that staff members handle on a typical day at the zoo.
