I'm Leah with Thursday's top stories, including... | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
The kids seeing animals in the wild for the first time. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
The treasure hunter who struck gold... | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
And this elephant's trip to the dentist. | :00:16. | :00:27. | |
Now you might be heading for a day in the classroom, | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
but in South Africa some kids from cities and poor areas have been | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
It's part of the fight against animal poaching and gives | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
kids who've never experienced the wild side of Africa a chance | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
to learn why the environment and wildlife is so important. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
One, two, three! Respect yourself, | :00:46. | :00:54. | |
respect each other! Here in South Africa, | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
these kids are learning to respect their environment | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
and the animals that live in it. It's part of a special | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
project to teach kids more about African wildlife | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
and the effects of poaching. In this country, elephants | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
are poached for their tusks and at least one rhino is killed | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
every day for their horn. Poachers take them because they can | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
be sold for huge amounts of money to Asian countries like China and | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
Vietnam. Some people living there use | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
the tusks and horns to make ornaments and belief | :01:32. | :01:32. | |
they have special powers, which scientists say isn't true. | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
The programme is about inspiring kids to care. It's everything that | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
we're trained to do is bring kids out into the bush and give them an | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
opportunity to experience wildlife in order for them to start to | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
develop a relationship with them in order for them to care about them. | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
Kids taking part play sports and have special lessons to learn about | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
animals and most importantly get to spot them in the wild. I really want | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
to see a lion because I want to see their teeth, they're really sharp. I | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
wish to see the beautiful take animals, I've never seen the big | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
animals in the world. I want to see the white rhino because it protects | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
animal Senate defence. These kids are heading out on their first | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
Safari. Many have not seen animals like elephants or rhinos before. | :02:29. | :02:44. | |
Normally we don't see Mayans and part of our areas. Ring back it's | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
exciting, I've never seen a rhino before so it's exciting. I've never | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
seen a giraffe before. It's hoped this experience will be inspire kids | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
to take an active role in protecting animals and the environment in the | :03:02. | :03:02. | |
future. Now, it's bigger than a ten pence | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
but that gold nugget found off the coast of North West Wales | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
is actually worth around Vincent found it four years ago | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
but has only just revealed details The area where it was found has been | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
searched again in case there's any more gold because it's thought | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
it was part of a ?120 million He can't keep the gold | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
though as it's being put I was hanging five or six feet above | :03:26. | :03:39. | |
it in the water with my diving cat and I looked down and I remember | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
thinking, wow, it was glowing in the sunlight like a Faberge egg and | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
never member looking at it, I was thinking, remember this, I've never | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
seen anything like it except for in a museum. | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
Going to the dentist is never fun for us but treating elephants | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
for tooth decay can only be described as a mammoth task. | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
Experts at a zoo in Bedfordshire realised something was wrong | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
with Looka when she wasn't eating her food. | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
A human dentist was called in to help and he removed the tooth. | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
Looka was asleep while the operation was carried out and she's | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
