When Lily the alpaca falls pregnant, they are in for an anxious few months as they battle against the odds to keep themselves afloat.

Exploding tyres, flamenco dancing, religious parades and, of course, all your favourite animals return once again to entertain you in the latest story about these much loved expats.
