Beathaichean a tha a鈥� t脿ladh a鈥� phobaill agus nan tlachd m貌r dhaibh. Ach d猫 mu dheidhinn na daoine a tha a鈥� frithealadh nam beathaichean sin fad na bliadhna: na gl猫idheadairean. Ch矛 sinn an c脿irdeas a tha eatorra, an urram a th鈥� aca dha ch猫ile agus an obair a tha an l霉ib a bhith a鈥� cumail an leithid a鈥� dol.
An t-seachdain sa, aig P脿irc Safari Bl脿r Dhruiminn tha Graeme a鈥� coimhead as deidh na sr貌n-adharcaich agus na siorafan.

Tha iad air a bhith fo ch霉ram fad naoi bliadhna, ach an ceann mios neo dh脿 tha e a鈥� gluasad gu roinn nan leomhann-mara. Feumaidh Graeme iomadh seisean tr猫anaidh a dh猫anamh mus urrainn dha a dhol mu choinneamh an t-sluaigh.

Aig P脿irce Fiadh-bheatha na G脿idhealtachd feumaidh Judith sgrudadh a鈥� dh猫anamh air cr貌 Dominika an t矛gear Amur as deidh stoirm is d矛le troimhn鈥� oidhche. Feumaidh i a dh猫anamh cinnteach gu bheil an fheansa sl脿n mus leig i Dominika mu sgaoil. Agus tha a' choimhearsnachd ionadail a' cumail taic ris a鈥� ph脿irce: tha Oighreachd Albhaidh air cothrom a thairgse dha Andy, le taghadh math de gheugan ri fhaighinn.

The wildlife parks and zoos in Scotland are huge visitor attractions and home to all types of creatures 鈥� exotic and endangered, large and small. Through the eyes of their keepers, we get to know the animals and their individual personalities. We learn about the conservation work and the husbandry: the feeding, the care, the welfare, the enrichment, the training and the breeding programmes as well as the endless graft - all in a day in the life of a keeper.

At Blair Drummond Safari Park, Graeme has worked with the rhinos and the giraffes for nine years, but in a few weeks time he is moving to the sea-lion section. He needs several training sessions under the expert eye of Stuart.

At Highland Wildlife Park, Judith has to check the Amur tiger鈥檚 enclosure before she can let Dominika out for her breakfast. After a night of storms and heavy rain, she needs to ensure that the fence is secure. And, the local community helps to support the park in many ways: the Alvie estate has given Andy the chance to collect browse from their forests.
