Ark on the Move, a follow-up TV series, was also hosted by Gerald Durrell.
Theme song
The theme to Stationary Ark, originally composed by John Mills-Cockell, became popularized in the mid-1980s with a cover version (only very loosely based on the original theme) released by Georg Feil for the Commodore 64 and its SID chip.
