The pop star kept exotic animals like giraffes, elephants and tigers at his Neverland ranch.
Ross Kemp’s new documentary will investigate what happened to the animals from Michael Jackson’s Neverland zoo.
The 75 minute episode will see Ross Kemp travel across the US to find out where Jackson’s animals ended up – with the fate of some of the pets “shrouded in mystery, scandal or tragedy.”
Kemp will also explore how the animals were treated under Jackson’s care, and will look at potential cases of animal cruelty.
The pop star left the ranch in 2005, before his death in 2009. But where did the animals go when Neverland closed down?
