Universal Pictures Australia, in conjunction with ABC1 are pleased to announce the DVD release of the new documentary series, Chris Humfrey’s Wild Life, available to own from June 29th 2011.
Meet Chris Humfrey, a zoologist who lives with his young family and their REALLY big dog in an idyllic bush haven. But the Humfreys also share their home with a few other pets – more than 2000 and each one of them needs care and attention 24/7. In Chris Humfrey’s Wild Life, viewers can expect an unscripted half-hour ‘docu-soap’ animal series located in the sprawling bush-land zoo the Humfreys call home in Macedon in Victoria.
But family life, work life and wild life don’t always fit neatly together… New sagas unfold every day at the zoo. In between training staff and taking calls, Chris figures out what to do with a giant python with a back problem or cares for baby owl masked chicks. He struggles to breed new animals and always delights in seeing new life – even if it means bottle-feeding baby wallabies in the middle of the night. Just when Chris and Nicole think that things are running smoothly, something wildly unpredictable always surprises them. One of his presenters loses a large snake in an inner city residential area; a door carelessly left open results in the office being over run by thousands of stick insects; tragedy strikes when feral foxes attack in the middle of the night.
Chris Humfrey’s Wild Life will delight the whole family, taking viewers on a journey while educating kids on the intriguing and wonderful world of Australia’s native fauna. Follow Chris, Nicole and their two daughters in this chaotic, 13-episode animal-crazy series that captures the drama, the danger, the animal antics and the sheer exhilaration of Chris Humfrey’s Wild Life.
