Monkey Life

Alison provides round‑the‑clock care for a baby monkey that has survived its first day, ensuring it receives constant attention and support. At the same time, the staff organise a birthday celebration for the woolly Diego, helping him enjoy his special day.

The episode follows Alison as she looks after a newborn monkey, keeping it safe and comfortable at any hour, throughout the day and night. Alongside this, the team on the show organises a birthday party for Diego, the resident woolly animal, adding a festive touch to the day's activities. Alison's responsibilities involve continuous monitoring and nurturing of the tiny primate, which has just made it through its very first day of life. The caretaking routine includes feeding, cleaning and providing the reassurance the fragile creature needs, and gentle handling, ensuring its survival and wellbeing during this critical early period. Meanwhile, the staff turn their attention to celebrating Diego's birthday. They arrange decorations, prepare treats suitable for a woolly animal and a small cake, and involve the other residents in the festivities. The celebration highlights the close‑knit nature of the group, with everyone contributing to make the occasion special for Diego. By juxtaposing Alison's intensive, around‑the‑clock care for the baby monkey with the lighter, communal birthday gathering for Diego, the episode offers a balanced look at both the challenges of animal rescue and the joy of shared milestones. The episode showcases dedication, compassion and a touch of merriment, and reinforces the sense of community within the animal care setting.
