L'instinct maternel

In zoos, unique bonds are formed between baby animals and the keepers, who sometimes act as surrogate parents. The cameras follow several animals born in captivity. Boris, Syan, and Timoure are very mischievous young panthers. All three are alongside Rufus, the little kangaroo, Laki, the baby orangutan, and Mazoumba, the white rhino. The birth of these endangered species cubs represents a real hope for natural diversity. Indeed, despite the fight against poaching, rhinos, panthers, kangaroos, and monkeys are suffering the full brunt of human greed.
