Around the world, millions of animals have jobs. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:07 | |
Ah! Ah! Oh! | 0:00:07 | 0:00:08 | |
This is the show that brings you the most extraordinary, | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
bizarre and unusual animals at work. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
Coming up... | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
Inti, the teenage tearaway llama, is training for his first trek. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:22 | |
Inti! | 0:00:22 | 0:00:23 | |
Peekaboo the hedgehog starts work as a slug-munching pest controller. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:29 | |
And Wheelie Willy is bringing joy to children everywhere. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
This guy kind of made me feel more like I belonged in the world. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:40 | |
This is a family show. Don't you dare kiss me. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
Hello and welcome. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
We're taking a trek to Robin Hood country | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
but with some unconventional companions - | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
llamas. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:06 | |
They are known the world over for being hardy creatures, | 0:01:06 | 0:01:11 | |
who have big tongues and are at home on wilderness trails, | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
so there really is no-one better | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
to take the weight off your shoulders by carrying your bags. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
We go off the beaten track, with some offbeat tour guides. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
Isn't that right? | 0:01:25 | 0:01:26 | |
Welcome to Nottingham. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
Ah, the English countryside. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
The last place you'd expect to find a herd of llamas. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
They carry supplies to people going on treks in the countryside. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:52 | |
For Inti, our learner llama, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
this is his first day of training for his very first trek. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:59 | |
Inti's like a very excitable teenager, I suppose! | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
And what I've got to do is get him used to wearing his saddle so that he | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
can fully take part in the treks, like all the older llamas can do. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
Llamas are a member of the camel family | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
and have been used as pack animals for more than 7,000 years. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:26 | |
They were domesticated in the Andes | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
and used because they're happy carrying loads up steep paths. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:33 | |
Inti has to be trained and then he'll be out | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
working with trekkers for the first time with his load. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
That news seems to have stopped Inti in his tracks. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
Inti has got six weeks until his first trek of the season. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
But he's not hanging around long enough to get his first lesson in. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
There are six llamas in the trekking pack. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
Jose, 18 years-old, Carlos, 17, | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
Rodrigo and Santos, nine, Diego, five and Inti is only four. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:07 | |
It'll be Jose's job as leader | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
to keep an eye on Inti as the youngest member of the pack. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
Jose carries his nose higher than Inti, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
and that shows that he's the man in charge. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
If Jose were trying to make sure Inti behaved himself, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
he would lift his nose. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:28 | |
He would, spit in the air, which is just a warning, or, on | 0:03:28 | 0:03:33 | |
occasion, they spit at each other and sometimes it gets quite green. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:38 | |
It's either green with the grass or with bile. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
They can spit ten to 15 feet, and that is pretty disgusting. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
While Jose keeps Inti in line, | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
llama expert Bruce starts step one of his training, | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
getting a saddle on Inti so he can get used to carrying extra weight. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:57 | |
But having straps around them can cause problems with learner llamas. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:02 | |
We may have problems with it. You never know with a llama. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
-Inti? -It's back to basics. Inti needs to stand still long enough | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
to be saddled up, and he's having none of it. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:16 | |
If he can't cope with the straps, how's he going to handle a saddle? | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
Inti has a long way to go to impress the rest of the trekking gang. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:25 | |
We're off to Los Angeles on America's west coast. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
Willy, a shorthaired Chihuahua, | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
was found abandoned in a box in Los Angeles. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
His back was broken and his vocal cords had been damaged, | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
making it impossible for him to walk or make a noise. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
Somebody found him and took him for help to a local animal hospital, | 0:04:56 | 0:05:01 | |
where he stayed for a year, | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
waiting for someone to take him home, and nobody adopted Willy. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:08 | |
Deborah owned a local pet shop | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
and was well known for taking in helpless animals. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
She heard Willy was about to be put to sleep and rescued him. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
I was charmed by the little dog right away. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
The first thing that I was really | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
surprised about was to notice that he wasn't a sad dog after all. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:30 | |
He was a really happy, joyful dog, | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
oblivious to his bad set of circumstances. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
Deborah was determined to get Willy back on his feet | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
and wasn't going to take no for an answer. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
I was on a mission to help Willy walk, | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
so originally I tied some big helium balloons to the hip area. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:52 | |
And, to my shock, the balloons picked the entire dog up off the ground. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:58 | |
I tried a few other methods, skateboard, skate wheels, this type | 0:06:01 | 0:06:06 | |
of thing, to help Willy walk, and he wasn't very good on a skateboard, | 0:06:06 | 0:06:11 | |
and so, finally, I sent away for his first set of wheels. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:16 | |
The wheels gave Willy a life. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
They gave him his mobility and his independence, | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
and once he began rolling he hasn't quit. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:28 | |
He accompanies me everywhere and his world is no longer small. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:33 | |
Inspired by Willy's can-do attitude to life, | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
Deborah wrote a book about his amazing journey. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
The pair have been all over America sharing his story. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:49 | |
Oftentimes, after an author's visit, one child will come up to me and say, | 0:06:49 | 0:06:55 | |
I can't even see Willy's wheelchair anymore. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
To me he looks just like any other dog. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
Willy has been an inspiration to kids everywhere, | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
especially those with disabilities. 13-year-old Josh has spina bifida. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
He's shy and tends to keep to himself. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
Most of Josh's world is fantasy. He spends a lot of time | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
watching TV, cartoons, make believe. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
The real world is so harsh, you know, he has a real tough time. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:24 | |
Joshua joined a group called WOW and I think it helped him a lot. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:29 | |
WOW stands for Winners On Wheels. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
Willy and Deborah visit these kids, and Josh is Willy's biggest fan. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
Josh is shy, but he's completely different when Willy's around. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:44 | |
Anytime Josh and Willy are together, Joshua is much more outgoing. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:49 | |
He's more excited about going places if he knows Willy will be there. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:54 | |
He doesn't care what we do, as long as Willy is there, | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
and he has to be the centre of attention with Willy. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
This guy kind of made me feel a little bit more like I belonged | 0:08:01 | 0:08:06 | |
in the world, instead of being like some... | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
some outcast or something, or some outsider. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:15 | |
Willy just takes life in stride at an easy pace. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:21 | |
He's actually taught me. I wish I had an outlook like that. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
We've been surfing the net for what animals do on their days off. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
The ones that involve a little monkey business | 0:08:37 | 0:08:42 | |
are always worth a watch. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
Take this baby gorilla in Ohio. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
He's discovered his reflection, and thinks he's found a new friend. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:56 | |
Mum's not impressed, but that doesn't stop this cheeky monkey. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:10 | |
We're heading to Nottingham, England. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
-Inti? -Inti the llama is being trained to take people on countryside treks | 0:09:22 | 0:09:27 | |
and has to get used to wearing saddlebags to carry supplies. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:31 | |
Inti is the youngest member of the llama gang | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
and behaving like a teenage tearaway. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
He didn't even get to step one of his training without messing about. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:42 | |
Before his boss Bruce, tries to get the saddle on for the first time, | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
he'll groom his coat to make saddle wearing a bit easier. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
He doesn't like being groomed particularly at all. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:58 | |
But I think llamas grow to tolerate it rather than like it. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
Good, Inti. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
If he's gonna wear a saddle - if there are any thorns in here | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
and you put the saddle on then you'll find the thorn | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
will be pushed into his skin, so you don't want that. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
Special attention from the boss isn't going unnoticed by Jose, | 0:10:18 | 0:10:23 | |
the oldest llama and the pack leader. The fur is about to fly. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:28 | |
JOSE GROWLS Hey, hey, hey. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
Just cut it out. It's a bit of, "I'm getting not as much attention | 0:10:31 | 0:10:36 | |
"as I should be, and Inti's getting preferential treatment." Jose, no! | 0:10:36 | 0:10:41 | |
Inti's being trained to be a pack animal, | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
but he'll never carry people, | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
as lamas' spines aren't strong enough to support the weight. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:52 | |
You need a proper saddle that's properly shaped so that there's | 0:10:52 | 0:10:57 | |
no weight on the spine and all the weight goes onto the ribs. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
Inti is a lively, intelligent, teenage llama, | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
who needs to understand that he's got to grow up and do his job. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:10 | |
We'll see what his first encounter with a saddle is like for him. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:15 | |
-Walk on. -It's the moment of truth. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
The llamas watch with bated breath. Will the baby control himself? | 0:11:18 | 0:11:22 | |
Very calmly. Good boy. Because he mustn't get excited | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
and worried about what we're doing cos it's all unusual. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:30 | |
It'll take a lot of patience and time, maybe, | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
to train Inti to what we want him to do. We have to see what happens. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:38 | |
We've got to do it without stressing him too much. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:42 | |
Sure enough, Inti puts on a show of bad behaviour. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
The rest of the herd are all eyes, except Santos, | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
and not one of them is impressed with Inti's erratic antics. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
Looks like Bruce might have an attitude problem on his hands. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
That's taking liberties. Walk on. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
Inti is a cheeky llama now, but with only a few weeks to | 0:12:24 | 0:12:28 | |
go before his first trek, will his career be over before it's begun? | 0:12:28 | 0:12:32 | |
I don't know what kind of gig you got me into here | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
but there's all sorts of prickly characters hogging the limelight! | 0:12:39 | 0:12:44 | |
What?! I hog the limelight! It's my show! | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
I've got poo all over my boots! Unbelievable! | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
Oh, hi. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
You know, sometimes slugs can be a real pest. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:56 | |
And I don't mean my producer. In our very own backyards, | 0:12:56 | 0:13:01 | |
the hedgehog has been battling these bugs for many years, | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
and over on the Emerald Isle there's one spiky animal | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
who is on a mission to guard our greens. Ho-ho! | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
Now we're headed to Ireland. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
In the heart of Ireland's countryside | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
hides a wildlife sanctuary that's home to more than 30 hedgehogs. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:32 | |
One-year-old Peekaboo is the new hedgehog on the block, | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
and she's got a tasty new job lined up. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
They are the gardener's friend. They eat all the slugs and snails. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:43 | |
Peekaboo and her two friends are going on their first | 0:13:43 | 0:13:47 | |
eco-pest control job today. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
We'll set them free in our Gaelic garden as a means of pest control. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:56 | |
They will eat all the slugs and snails and caterpillars | 0:13:56 | 0:14:00 | |
which will damage the fruit and vegetable crops in the garden. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:04 | |
This prickly character is well suited to a career in pest control. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:11 | |
The minute she hears me, she peeks her head out looking for food. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:15 | |
That's why we said, "Here's Peekaboo peeking out," | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
so that name just stuck. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
But Peekaboo wasn't always this plump. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
Peekaboo was born quite late last year, | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
at the end of the summertime, and she wasn't big enough to hibernate. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:33 | |
Peekaboo went to the beach to look for food and unfortunately | 0:14:33 | 0:14:38 | |
fell down the steps and bumped her head | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
and then she lost one of her eyes. Hedgehogs only come out at night, | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
so they don't depend a great deal on their eyesight. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
They actually navigate with their noses, by their sense of smell. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:55 | |
I do love hedgehogs. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
They're our only spiny mammal. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
They're different to other animals. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
They're very primitive. They haven't really evolved in all these years. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:11 | |
When they feel threatened, | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
they curl up into balls and spread their spikes out | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
so it hurts the prey or predator that's trying to attack them. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:22 | |
So it keeps it safe. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:23 | |
The spikes are actually hollow tubes. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
They protect the hedgehog from predators like owls and foxes | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
when they roll up into a tight ball. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
If you have hedgehogs in your garden, | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
put out a little bit of dog or cat food. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
Don't give them bread and milk because milk | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
will give them diarrhoea which is not a very nice thing to have. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:45 | |
Oh, she's absolutely stinking now. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
Every time they're fed they seem to do this, | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
and, of course, Peekaboo eats most of the time! | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
Seems to pee and poo most of the time as well! | 0:15:54 | 0:15:58 | |
So I think we better get her cleaned up again. Oh! | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
Let's take you out. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
This is why you wouldn't want to keep a hedgehog as a pet. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
They're quite smelly animals. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
Peekaboo and two hedgehog workmates | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
are off to work eating slugs in this chemical-free garden. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
It couldn't survive without the eco-warrior hedgehogs | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
that keep slugs at bay. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
It's a good time for them to come | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
because we've got two acres of vegetables in this field, | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
so it's very important for us actually to keep the slugs down. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:40 | |
She has a place in my heart! | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
And I will be sorry to see her go. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
The first thing that amazed me is how quick they are. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
I thought they were dead slow, but they can really go quickly. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:55 | |
As night falls, Peekaboo's got a monumental task ahead of her. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:14 | |
The garden will soon be overrun with an army of slimy pests. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
Hedgehogs, for us, are the natural control. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
They are the natural workers. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
They're good at the job. They do it better than we can. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:32 | |
So the lesson for us was if there's a worker | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
who can do it better than we can then let them do it. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
Peekaboo's first night shift is over. The job is perfect. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:42 | |
She gets paid to eat for a living. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
We've been looking at videos of what animals do in their spare time. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:56 | |
Check out this horse from Hampshire, and his nifty dance floor moves. | 0:17:56 | 0:18:01 | |
It's a hungry business. Time to tuck in to a well-earned snack. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:27 | |
Now we're off to Hawaii. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
This is the Dolphin Quest resort in Waikoloa. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
People can learn about dolphin behaviour by getting up close. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:51 | |
Koby is one of the star employees, and he has an amazing job. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:56 | |
He gets to perform with dolphins to entertain visitors. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:00 | |
Koby is part Labrador and part pit-bull. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
Labs love to swim and play, while pit-bull terriers are strong and | 0:19:05 | 0:19:10 | |
determined, an excellent combination if your partner is a dolphin. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:15 | |
His personality is a lot like a Labrador. He's clumsy, fun, | 0:19:15 | 0:19:20 | |
very playful, very obedient, | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
but also as a pit-bull he's very fast and very intelligent. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:27 | |
Along with working with the dolphins, | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
Koby also helps to carry gear and to feed them. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:35 | |
Today Koby's starting work with a new dolphin, Kaloe. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
They're practicing something new, a surfing demonstration for visitors. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:44 | |
When Koby is in the water he's always supervised. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
Direct contact could be dangerous for both the dolphins and Koby. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:53 | |
Dolphins, just like any animal, have minds of their own | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
and they're unpredictable, so there is a tinge of danger involved. | 0:19:56 | 0:20:01 | |
You have a 400 to 500 pound animal, with Koby only weighing 65 pounds. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:06 | |
And Koby has sharp claws. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
The animal's skin is very sensitive and smooth. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:11 | |
We don't want the claws near the dolphin | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
or the dolphins' tails to get near Koby. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
Safety is our top priority for all the animals. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
But every chance he gets, he tries to sneak into the water to play. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:25 | |
Koby spends so much time with dolphins, he thinks he is one. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
We brought him outside to see how the dolphins | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
would react and he seemed to have a knack with them. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
He was very gentle and the dolphins were gentle with him. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |
The dolphins seem to enjoy it, Koby did. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
Tomorrow is Koby's surfing debut with Kaloe, | 0:20:46 | 0:20:50 | |
just time to squeeze in another training session. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
The trainer wants him to work on the new trick. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:06 | |
Kaloe gets to push Koby along on a surfboard. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
Koby needs to stay still and keep facing forward. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
We need to work on his surfboard ride a little bit, | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
get his balance more and a little bit more control | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |
on his part on the board. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
But before they've even started, Koby gives in to temptation. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:44 | |
Last time he got a push around by himself and he stood up, | 0:21:44 | 0:21:49 | |
turned around and started licking the dolphin's face | 0:21:49 | 0:21:53 | |
and that made me nervous. We want him to stay sitting down. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:58 | |
With hundreds of visitors expected at the resort, | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
Koby and Kaloe can't mess up. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
It's the day of Koby's big surfing demo, | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
and he and Kaloe have to get it right. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
When Kaloe pushes him, he has to keep his balance and face forward. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:18 | |
But Koby gives in to temptation. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
-Wipeout! -Koby is a sweet dog. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
He is so obedient, but he just can't control himself around the dolphins. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:32 | |
The first show has been a disaster. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
Koby and Kaloe need to put in a lot more practice, | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
but the audience don't seem to mind. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
-It was so cute. -The dog actually kissed the dolphin on the lips, | 0:22:41 | 0:22:46 | |
and I didn't know dolphins had lips! | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
I think we're inseparable. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
He's like my best friend and I don't go far without him. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
We're heading to Nottingham, England. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
It's six weeks since Inti first wore a saddle, | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
and the trainee llama is being put through his paces, | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
ready for his first packing job on a countryside trek. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:16 | |
He's finally got used to wearing the saddlebags, | 0:23:16 | 0:23:20 | |
but how will he react to a group of kids on his first trek? | 0:23:20 | 0:23:24 | |
Well, Inti will find it strange being out for the first time | 0:23:24 | 0:23:28 | |
with packs on and with people. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
So it's important that he behaves himself and is good. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:35 | |
This is his first full working day because it's the first time | 0:23:35 | 0:23:40 | |
he'll carry all his packs and have stools and things inside. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:45 | |
Inti's got a lot riding on his debut performance, and his young customers | 0:23:45 | 0:23:51 | |
are queuing up to learn all about this furry trekker. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
His ears are like a big horse | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
and his mouth's... | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
like a goat...no, a sheep... | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
and then he's got a giraffe neck | 0:24:01 | 0:24:05 | |
and chicken feet. I'm not sure about his body. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:09 | |
He's just not really what I expected. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
He's so gentle and friendly and I expected him to be a bit more | 0:24:15 | 0:24:19 | |
bolshy and a bit more like... boyish and a bit sort of stroppy. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:26 | |
That's exactly the kind of bad behaviour | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 | |
his boss and the older llamas hope he's ditched. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
The trek is on, and Inti is being broken into it slowly. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:37 | |
But he keeps lapsing back into his bad habits. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
Inti? Inti? Are you through? | 0:24:40 | 0:24:45 | |
Inti! | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
Inti, walk on. Come on. Walk on. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:54 | |
Good. Good. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
No, no, no, no. No rubbish. Come on. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:05 | |
By comparison, the behaviour of the more experienced Jose is perfect. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:12 | |
-Walk on. -There you go. Take control. Good boy. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:18 | |
Oh! Walk on! | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
Suddenly Jose decides to push his luck with his trekking companions. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:27 | |
Don't have a go at prickly leaves. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:30 | |
You'd expect it from Inti, but now it's Jose who's being awkward. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:34 | |
Whoa! Don't walk into me! | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
Jose, very occasionally, has these days, when he just thinks, | 0:25:48 | 0:25:53 | |
"I've had enough of leading. Enough is enough." | 0:25:53 | 0:25:57 | |
This is Inti's chance to make up for his earlier bad behaviour | 0:25:57 | 0:26:01 | |
and show Bruce that he can be a leader. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
You lead him, Millie, so I'll just make sure | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
he doesn't run away and you just give him a tug. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:10 | |
"Walk on," say. Off we go. Walk on. Walk on. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
-Walk on. -Walk on. Walk on. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
-There we are. -He's doing good. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
Walk on, Inti. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
Jose's off day seems to have given Inti new impetus, | 0:26:35 | 0:26:39 | |
and he's gone from being the stroppy llama at the back | 0:26:39 | 0:26:43 | |
to the lead llama responsible for the whole team. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
Jose! Jose, walk on. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
I'd definitely take a llama home with me. It's really good. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:53 | |
Inti's lovely. He did very well on his first day. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
-He'll be a good leader when he's older. -Quite impressed. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
So after a dodgy start, Inti's finally holding his head high | 0:27:01 | 0:27:05 | |
and putting his teenage tantrums behind him. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
Even the older gang of llamas are impressed. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:11 | |
Inti's become an unexpected but popular trekking hero. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:15 | |
I'm a bit of a comic genius. Yeah. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
So I'm gonna tell you a little llama joke. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:24 | |
Yeah. What did the llama say to the grass? | 0:27:24 | 0:27:28 | |
Nice gnawing ya. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
-Ha ha ha! -THE LLAMA GROWLS | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
Hey, that's not nice. This is a family show. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
Don't you dare kiss me. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
Don't even kiss me. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:38 | |
