    Paul first visits SANCCOB to meet Africa's endangered penguins and help release some back into the wild. Then to the Lilayi Elephant Nursery where a very excited Paul meets a group of baby elephants whose parents have been killed by poachers. Visiting animal rehabilitation centre Moholoholo in Kruger, Paul is introduced to eight-month-old lion cubs, brought to the centre at just a week old after being rejected by their mother. And finally Paul travels to Durban to CROW, the centre for rehabilitation of wildlife. Here they don’t just look after endangered species, they care for all kinds of animals who have been injured or orphaned in the wild from tortoises to baboons. Paul meets a very cute creature called Lily, a four-month-old blue dyker antelope and also a slightly less cute, grumpy porcupine called Mr Rattles.
