Join zoologist Martin Hughes-Games as he follows the dedicated and inspirational individuals working to save some very special babies – nature’s miracle babies – who are the lifeline to preserving some of our planet’s most critically vulnerable species.

Martin visits projects all over the world, from the outback of Australia to the savannahs of East Africa, from some of the most prestigious local zoo breeding programs to relocation in the Amazonian region of Brazil. In each episode, he follows key animals and their stories, bringing insight into the fascinating biology of amazing creatures, discovering how extraordinary hi-tech science is being used to help miracle babies and how treatments developed for people are being adapted for animals, from IVF to ultrasound.

The men and women caring for these animals are ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Each new life they help to adulthood is truly a precious bundle of hope for the future. But for some this is only the beginning of the journey. The ultimate challenge is to raise these animals, and return them to the wild.

Theres great hope for the future of the rarest cat in the world, the Amur leopard. With only 35 left in the wild, the arrival of a litter of tiny cubs could help save this species from extinction. Theres a rollercoaster of emotions following the exhausting vigil of one very special giant, an Indian one horned rhino, who has her keepers on tenterhooks for days as she tries to deliver a baby as big as a man. And heartbreak turns into hard work for a dedicated team at Jersey Zoo. They have to become surrogate parents to a litter of tiny baby pied Tamarins, the rarest primate in South America, after theyre attacked by their mother. But will they make it through? Natures Miracle Babies is an intimate, yet ultimately uplifting series that touches all our emotions…
