Zoo is the thirty-fifth episode of the first season of Bluey.
Synopsis[]
Bluey's backyard zoo is home to wonderful animals, especially the big blue Daddy gorilla. But when he grabs visitor Bingo and escapes, Zookeeper Bluey must recapture the wild beast.
Episode Recap[]
The family decide to play ‘Zoos’ and Lady Gaberdeen (Mum) and Snowdrop the Toddler (Bingo) are met on the deck by Zookeeper Bluey.
First they visit the gentle giraffe who’s veeerrryy friendly. “How deeeeelightful!”
Next they visit the pademelon (not to be mistaken for a kangaroo). He too is verrrrryyy friendly.
Zookeeper Bluey warns that the next animal is definitely NOT friendly. It’s the Big Stinky Baboon (Dad) who is reading the paper. He then blows a raspberry at the visitors and lies down for a nap..... “monkey sleep!!!”
Zookeeper Bluey uses a pool noodle to get the baboons' attention but the baboon grabs it to scratch his “botbot”.
Meanwhile, Bluey and Mum have moved on to look at the kookaburras and realize “Darling Snowdrop” is missing. She has ventured into the baboons' enclosure.
Bluey gets out the hose to defuse the situation as “it’s against the monkey rules,” but the baboon performs a Godzilla worthy leap over the fence holding Snowdrop and escapes into the house.
Zookeeper Bluey asks if Mum would like to see the reptiles #upsellinglikeapro, but Mum insists she wants her precious Snowdrop rescued.
Bluey jumps in the push car, assuring Mum that everything is under control as she chases the baboon and Snowdrop around the living room. The baboon then escape upstairs with Snowdrop. Zookeeper Bluey offers her condolences to Mum in the form of a visit to the gift shop to try and pacify her. #upsellinglikeapro
The baboon, who has been christened “Ooh Ooh”, and Snowdrop hide in the pantry playing games and snacking on cookies. Zookeeper Bluey sets a banana trap to capture the baboon.
Baboon Dad falls for the banana trick and is tickled into submission and falling asleep. Snowdrop is sad to see her new friend “Ooh Ooh” caged once again as she is carted off by Mum.
Mum carries on the game as she puts a sad Snowdrop to bed. Suddenly, Zookeeper Bluey appears at the window and beckons in the Baboon who gives Snowdrop a hug.

Trivia[]
- The trampoline from the episode of the same name can be seen in the background when Bluey shows Bingo (Snowdrop) and Chilli (Lady Gaberdeen), the blue baboon (Bandit).
- Bingo trying to get Bandit to talk is similar to how Tarzan and Jane got to know each other in the Tarzan franchise.
- Long Dog: The original toy is visible under the table in the playroom when the blue baboon (Bandit) first spots the banana trap. Also, when Bandit and Bingo hide in the cupboard, a long dog holding tea can be seen hanging.
- When this episode aired on Disney Channel in the US, it was paired with Trampoline and The Dump.
- On this episode's official website page, the character section has Bluey wearing a zookeeper's hat, Bingo and Bandit eating bananas (with Bandit also pretending to be a monkey) and Chilli in a fancy hat.[1]
Errors[]
- The 'b' at the foot of Bingos bed turns into a 'B' when she goes to the see the Blue Baboon at the end of the episode.
