Wild Heroes

Wild Heroes is an exciting, beautifully filmed series celebrating the remarkable work of Auckland Zoo professionals at their world-class veterinary hospital, within the Zoo, and on missions across New Zealand and beyond.

This season showcases extraordinary conservation stories: from breeding the world’s largest prehistoric insect to the arrival of a baby orangutan, and the complex relocation of a rare southern white rhino to Australia. Viewers witness emergency procedures on Antarctic birds and native wildlife, and follow the team to Fiji to protect its vibrant iguanas. The series also highlights vital efforts to support sea lions on New Zealand’s rugged South Island coast and journeys to Tahiti, where the Zoo plays a crucial role in saving the world’s rarest bird species.

Full of hope, drama, and discovery, season four delivers fresh, untold stories of wildlife conservation and the passionate people working tirelessly to protect our planet’s most extraordinary animals.
