The show will combine natural history footage with views and opinions of the animal kingdom, which will include appearances from hip-hop-loving badgers, dieting pandas and a marmot called Alan.
Executive producer of BBC entertainment Caroline Wright said of the series: "Walk On The Wild Side is a potent mix of amazing wildlife photography, a fantastically talented group of comedy writers and performers and an amazing furry cast. Who could ask for more?"
Regular vocal work will come from Jason Manford and Peep Show's Isy Suttie, while other celebrities making guest appearances include Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, Richard E Grant, Barbara Windsor and Rolf Harris.
