When you live in a zoo - things can get wild!
Eleven-year-old Neeka Wilder has always loved animals.

She wants to be a vet one day, like her mum, who is the head vet at Wilder Zoo - where Neeka and her family live!

Neeka is a great help to the zoo staff in caring for the animals. And she also takes videos of exciting events at the zoo.

When the videos are nominated for a big award, Neeka wants to make one more video to help win it. But when Rebel, the cheeky red panda, won't co-operate, her zoo key goes missing and she's grounded for a month, it's a race against the clock to create the new video in time for the awards.
