Kangaroos joins a cast of cute and cheeky animal orphans as they learn the vital lessons they need to leave captivity and survive in the wild. Making the transition from baby to youngster to adolescent and right up to adulthood is tough enough if things go well. It is even harder when you are suddenly left to fend for yourself. In those moments a helping hand is sometimes needed to give these young animal heroes a fighting chance. Filmed in an immersive and intimate way, Kangaroos combines inspiring survival stories with the rollercoaster lives of these animals' wild cousins and neighbours, to offer a series of tales that are both inspiring and full of jeopardy. Kangaroos is the last episode in the compelling BBC natural world series Wild School which looks at the early life of a variety of animals.
