Evan Meets Eli

When a scruffy, barely alive African monkey arrives at his practice Danny is fascinated by the challenge. However he's abruptly dragged away from surgery when his stepson confronts a bully at school with a tranquiliser gun he stole from Danny's cupboard.

Danny is having second thoughts about the wisdom of uprooting his new family and ploughing all their money into a business venture that they know next to nothing about.

A successful giraffe capture means everyone is in high spirits, until the arrival of Evan and Olivia's real father, Simon, throws the family into turmoil. He is determined to take his kids back with him to England.

Evan lets the mischievous meerkats loose in Rosie's room to cause havoc. Rosie is devastated when they destroy an irreplaceable photograph of her mother and rages at Evan.

Rogue young male elephants are rampaging through Leopard's Den and destroying everything the family have built, so Danny introduces a matriarch elephant in the hope that she will calm them down.

At a typically rowdy family breakfast, Rosie is excitedly looking forward to the arrival of her friend Izzy, whilst Danny is concerned about the rumor of ivory poachers in the area.
