Wild at Heart

Danny’s first big project as State Vet is a major animal translocation, and he is desperate to impress. Meanwhile, whilst Alice is out in the bush treating an injured zebra, she is stalked by lions. She just makes it back to her jeep in time but is badly shaken up. Danny’s first day of the translocation goes well, culminating in him discovering a rare white-tailed mongoose which he brings back to Leopard’s Den. Alice downplays her near miss with the lions because she doesn’t want him to worry – he has enough on his plate. Danny suspects all is not well but Alice insists she is OK. Torn, Danny returns to the translocation site where he discovers they are behind schedule because of the time it took to capture the mongoose.
