0:00:02 > 0:00:06This is Animals At Work. The show that brings you...animals at work!
0:00:06 > 0:00:10There are millions of animals that have jobs.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13We've got animals at work, and we're not kidding!
0:00:13 > 0:00:18This is the show that brings you the most extraordinary, bizarre,
0:00:18 > 0:00:22and unusual animals at work. Coming up...
0:00:24 > 0:00:28..these bunnies go head-to-head in the ultimate challenge.
0:00:28 > 0:00:32It's like X Factor - narrowing down to the winner.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36We meet two sheepdogs in wolves' clothing.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42And this baby is itching to meet you!
0:01:00 > 0:01:05Hello, welcome to Animals At Work, the show like no other!
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Today we feature a rabbit, so I'm taking this opportunity
0:01:09 > 0:01:10to entertain you...
0:01:10 > 0:01:12BUZZER
0:01:12 > 0:01:13..at home!
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Take two.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16CHIMES
0:01:16 > 0:01:20See? An empty, dirty top hat. Drum roll, please!
0:01:20 > 0:01:22DRUM ROLL
0:01:22 > 0:01:25A rabbit! Da-da!
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Oh, no! I said a rabbit!
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Oh, well. Here, watch some rabbits.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40First we're bouncing over to Bromley in the UK.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49It might be a regular day in the countryside
0:01:49 > 0:01:53for some furry animals, but there's a new dawn on the horizon
0:01:53 > 0:01:56for these rather furry rarities.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Think beauty, think rare breed, think star quality!
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Some bunnies will strut their stuff
0:02:03 > 0:02:07at the country's most prestigious rare breed rabbit championships.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10The Miss Universe of the rabbit world!
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Their job - to look perfect and win for owner, Tom.
0:02:14 > 0:02:20This is my first time entering the London Championship Show, so nervous.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24I'm not sure which one out of the line-up I've decided to take
0:02:24 > 0:02:27They've all got different personalities.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34It's a bit like X Factor, narrowing down to the winner.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38There were some gorgeous rabbits with plenty of X Factor here
0:02:38 > 0:02:41so let's meet the bunnies!
0:02:41 > 0:02:45This is Gnasher that's just jumped out of my hand.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47This is Nipper, she's a Castor Rex.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51This is Domino, and this is Polka, over here.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56And it's not just Gnasher, Nipper, Domino and Polka Dot,
0:02:56 > 0:02:57there's also...
0:03:02 > 0:03:07..Bungle, Hencles, Willow, Alice, Carl, Chris, Jamie, Chloe and...
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Their job is to be shown. They are like models on a catwalk.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13They have to look good, act good.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17I wish I was a rabbit, it sounds like a good job!
0:03:17 > 0:03:24But these rabbits will be up against the most pampered bunnies in the world at the championships.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31Tom's hoping his crazy critters will run rings around the competition.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43They need to put on a show to please their adoring fans,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46but the championships are serious business
0:03:46 > 0:03:50and there is no room for fluff and nonsense in this harsh world.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55People think that rabbits are fluffy, cute little bunnies.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58They will bite you, they will eat their own poo,
0:03:58 > 0:04:01they can drink their own wee.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06Ewww! They'll have to buck up their ideas in the next couple of weeks
0:04:06 > 0:04:08to make it to the championship.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Tom has been preparing them all their lives.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15They will be up against other competitors
0:04:15 > 0:04:17so I'm very nervous about it.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21When they're being shown, they need to be able to say, "I'm here,
0:04:21 > 0:04:25"I'm showing off, I'm the best rabbit on this table. Look at me."
0:04:25 > 0:04:29I wouldn't expect anything less from a rabbit.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Amongst the cuddly contenders there are two early stand-out rabbit idols
0:04:33 > 0:04:36that live to be pampered and admired.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40They are definitely diva-ish, and they are icons in their own right.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44The mascara-eyed Hottots haven't gone Goth.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46They are a rare breed from France.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50As there are only a handful of them in the country, Tom may
0:04:50 > 0:04:55be in with a chance if he goes with his star brother and sister act.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59And this is Polka Dot. She can be quite laid back and relaxed.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02She will stretch out like she's doing yoga.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07She's a typical prim and proper girly, she's a pink lady.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11She's great for the job because she can keep herself clean.
0:05:11 > 0:05:17This is Domino. He's quite energetic, he's more the athlete of the rabbit.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21He's a show rabbit, so his job - to look gorgeous - he plays on that.
0:05:21 > 0:05:27Good to know diva behaviour has infiltrated the animal world.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31But the major key to success lies in training these rabbits
0:05:31 > 0:05:34to behave on the judging table and when they are handled.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37This could be a "furry" difficult job.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41He doesn't want to be picked up, doesn't want to be turned over.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45That's a problem because they need to be turned over.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49If they can't turn the rabbit over, they can disqualify them.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53It's the first time that these young bunnies have been on show.
0:05:53 > 0:05:59As it's Tom's first competition too, there's a lot of work to be done.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03There is a lot of competition at the show.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Now we're rocking around the world to Banff in Canada.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25'The natural beauty of Canada's Rocky Mountains
0:06:25 > 0:06:28'draws visitors from all over the world.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32'Trails take visitors into the wilderness
0:06:32 > 0:06:37- 'of the rugged Rockies...' - SCREECHING AND BANGING
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- SCREAMING - Or at least they should!
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Meet some troublesome elk who love the place
0:06:43 > 0:06:46and think nothing of disrupting a game of golf.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Thankfully the local rangers had an idea to get rid of these deer.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- In fact, they had two! - TRUMPET FANFARE
0:06:56 > 0:07:01Meet Tess and Blue, two dogs with an extraordinary job.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06These sheepdogs have come into town to put an end to elk-related mayhem!
0:07:06 > 0:07:09They may be a bit nervous at first...
0:07:11 > 0:07:16..but they soon have these troublesome elk on the move!
0:07:18 > 0:07:22This doggy duo scare the elk as they look so much like wolves.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29Elk are wild and strong, but Tess and Blue's herding abilities
0:07:29 > 0:07:31inspire respect and the elk move on!
0:07:34 > 0:07:38So the people of Banff can relax once again.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41SCREECHING AND BANGING
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Or can they?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47These elk seem a bit craftier than we thought.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Look at these cheeky garden munchers!
0:07:50 > 0:07:54They may look innocent, but they have been known to charge at people,
0:07:54 > 0:08:00- so they need to return to the woods. - BANJO COUNTRY-STYLE MUSIC
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Tess and Blue make sure the elk are run out of town.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Y'all don't come back now, you hear?
0:08:25 > 0:08:30We've been on the internet finding out more about your pet's pastimes.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Take a look at Daisy, the dancing Cockatoo from England.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36She's an expert at The Hop!
0:08:36 > 0:08:41MUSIC: "I Don't Feel Like Dancing" by The Scissor Sisters
0:08:47 > 0:08:50This is one bird that can bust a move!
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Daisy, coming soon to a dance floor near you!
0:08:58 > 0:09:03We're roving back around the planet to Bromley, England.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06The candidates for Bunny Idol are lined up.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11Tom has 23 rabbits. He has to find out which have star quality
0:09:11 > 0:09:15then he can take them to London for the British Championships.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Tom is keeping a close eye on his star rabbits.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24He's putting hours in every day training up his talented bunnies
0:09:24 > 0:09:27to make sure they are ready for the big time.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30It's not just a case of grooming every day,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33it's grooming, handling, training, teaching.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35But there are two early favourites
0:09:35 > 0:09:38that have been groomed for the competition.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44She'll be marked on her body shape, how good her fur is.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49She's got a nice, dense coat. The little hairs you can see up here.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52She has nice black eye-circles here.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59She will have to behave herself,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02because if she keeps kicking out, the judge won't allow it,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05and they will disqualify her. We don't want that!
0:10:08 > 0:10:12It may look like Tom is just giving his floppy friends a cuddle,
0:10:12 > 0:10:16but there is a reason why he's got to rock-a-bye these bunnies.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19You have to see underneath them like this, you see.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23At the moment, she's not happy, she's not having it.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27She says, "I'm not having anyone turn me over."
0:10:27 > 0:10:32This is what the judge has to do. I'm going to have to practise,
0:10:32 > 0:10:33keep turning her over.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38These rabbits need to be perfectly white for the competition.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43They can't have wee marks over them. So I use some white chalk powder,
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- and it lightens it up. - Whoa! That is one white rabbit!
0:10:51 > 0:10:55The time has come to decide who out of the 23 ravishing rabbits
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- Tom will take to the competition. - I want to win. I can't afford
0:10:59 > 0:11:03to take anything that's not good enough.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08To help, he's brought along his friend, who's a show bunny expert.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11She doesn't mince her words!
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- I'd give her a seven. - I would say five.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Bit harsh, but fair enough.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22He's really moulting!
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Fur isn't the only thing the bunnies are dropping!
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Very handsome!
0:11:31 > 0:11:33She's a bit flighty! That's not good.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37I really like this rabbit. Really friendly.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39She's thin so she needs building up.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44So Tom has made his choice.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48I really can't decide between the two Hottots.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53- I think that I should take both. - In fact, he's made two -
0:11:53 > 0:11:58Domino and Polka Dot are a crown prince and princess of Bunny Idol.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03It's the rabbits that win. They are the ones that shine on the day.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06But how will they fare at the championship in London?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11It's going to be daunting and scary.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Anything is going to be a surprise on the day.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Coming up next, an animal at work doing a jumbo job!
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Don't eat my jacket!
0:12:27 > 0:12:31She lives in Africa, and is one very unusual animal at work.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33No, don't! Stop eating it!
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Don't eat my jacket, please!
0:12:39 > 0:12:44We're charging around the world to Hoedspruit in South Africa.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53This is the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56This park works to protect and conserve species
0:12:56 > 0:12:59which are rare or endangered.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03We look after endangered animals, like the wild dog, the cheetah,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05We also take orphaned animals
0:13:05 > 0:13:09like rhino, caracals, any problem animals that come in.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Claudia works with one of the centre's biggest attractions...
0:13:19 > 0:13:21..Daliana, the white rhinoceros.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25It might not look like it but Daliana is just a baby,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27a very, very BIG baby!
0:13:29 > 0:13:32White rhinos are threatened,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35with less than 20,000 alive on the planet today.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38This important baby needs to stay strong
0:13:38 > 0:13:42so that she can be released back into the wild when she's older.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46The hope is for her to breed when she has been released,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48so her species will live on.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55The job is to be like an ambassador for the white rhino.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59If we didn't intervene she would have been dead, it would have
0:13:59 > 0:14:03been another individual of the white rhino lost.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Daliana came to the centre when she was just 12 hours old.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10She was found alone on a neighbouring reserve
0:14:10 > 0:14:14and the centre took her in to ensure her survival.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21The centre are taking no chances with this little one.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25For a start off, just look at this rhino's crib!
0:14:25 > 0:14:28She has a one bedroom apartment
0:14:28 > 0:14:31with an outdoor bathtub, and her meals...
0:14:31 > 0:14:35are hand delivered, and I do mean, delivered by hand!
0:14:35 > 0:14:39She's on her last bottles, we're starting to wean her.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42That's going to be difficult, she loves a bottle.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46They're always complaining at the weaning process.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I'm going to give her some pellets.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54# Big girl, you are beautiful! #
0:14:54 > 0:14:58She might not have finished drinking milk from a bottle yet,
0:14:58 > 0:15:03but this is one baby you wouldn't want to steal candy from.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Daliana may just be a youngster, but she already weighs one ton.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10That's the same as 13 fully grown men.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14White rhinos are one of the largest animals on the planet.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19When she's fully grown, she could weigh in at 3 and a half tonnes.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22That's the same as 45 men.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27- # Big girl you are beautiful! # - After eating, it's time for a bath.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32You thought baths made you cleaner? Think again!
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I'm giving her a mud bath to cool her down
0:15:35 > 0:15:40and get rid of all kinds of external parasites, like tics.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43This mud is very important to keep Daliana's skin healthy.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Such a good girl! And it also acts like a sunscreen.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Such a good, good girl.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52She loves her mud baths.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Whoa! Time for the other side.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Laid-back Daliana is happy to let Claudia rub the mud in.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06Of course, wild rhinos don't get this kind of hands-on help,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09and we wouldn't advise you to try.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14It's rubbing time.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18She's rubbing off the mud to get rid of the ticks and the dead skin.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21One happy rhino!
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Now that the baby is fed and clean,
0:16:27 > 0:16:31it's time to see if Daliana fancies some exercise.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34She needs to stay healthy so she can have calves
0:16:34 > 0:16:36when she goes out into the wild.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Sometimes we go for a walk if it's a nice full day,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42otherwise she'll have a nap.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Do not try this at home!
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Running with a one ton rhino is a brave task for anyone.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Thankfully, Claudia has had years of practice.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03The rhino can reach speeds of up to 50 kilometres an hour,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06so this is a light jog for Daliana.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Still, Claudia better stay on her toes!
0:17:09 > 0:17:12# What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? #
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Steady, girl.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18After a tough day at the office,
0:17:18 > 0:17:22it's time for Daliana to hang out with her mates.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24She hangs out with a zebra called Zeta,
0:17:24 > 0:17:29a sheep called Heidi, another sheep called Bonnie. That's her family.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36It's an odd combination, but this family get along fine.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Friends come in all shapes and sizes.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49We've been looking at your videos to see what animals
0:17:49 > 0:17:54get up to in their spare time, like these sheep racers from Bideford.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Yes, they are are sheep racers!
0:17:56 > 0:17:59A quick fuel up before the race, and they're off!
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Hitting top speeds of up to 16 kilometres an hour.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06'It's the downhill straight, and it's Golden Fleece
0:18:06 > 0:18:10'from Little Pullover and Alderknitty as they cross the finishing line.'
0:18:10 > 0:18:12We have a winner - Woolly Jumper!
0:18:18 > 0:18:23Now we're trailing over to the state of Texas in the USA.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33Meet a rootin', tootin' cowboy by the name of Harry Boutall.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37And what's a cowboy's best friend? His cowdog, of course.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Meet Peewee, waiting in his kennel, raring to go herd cattle.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46Peewee! What you doing there, buddy? I'd thought about other breeds,
0:18:46 > 0:18:51other herding breeds, but the border collie made more sense.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55The best thing I'd heard about them was that they were smart.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00Once you show them something one time, basically they got it!
0:19:02 > 0:19:07Peewee is top dog on Harry's 1,000 acre cattle ranch.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11He's got a big day at the cow dog trials tomorrow.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15He'll have to herd three unruly calves around a course.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20It's an achievement as he started life as the runt of the litter.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23He wasn't weak, he was just the smallest puppy.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28He stayed that way all the way through, pretty much, and I just,
0:19:28 > 0:19:33from day one, started calling him Peewee, and it just stuck!
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Peewee may be little, but he's got a big heart.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Just look at this little guy go.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49You want him to have a certain amount of bite
0:19:49 > 0:19:52because that cow needs to respect the dog.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56If it doesn't respect the dog, it's going to walk right over it.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58HE WHISTLES
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Peewee, no matter how tired he was, it was full speed.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08When you did stop, he was so tired sometimes
0:20:08 > 0:20:14he'd just fall over or drop down, but he wouldn't quit.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Peewee doesn't stop at cattle, he just can't help himself.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20He loves to herd!
0:20:20 > 0:20:25It doesn't make any difference if it's chickens, ducks...
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Somebody can come by on a bicycle or a four wheeler,
0:20:29 > 0:20:33- they're gonna try to herd him. - Tomorrow Harry will put Peewee
0:20:33 > 0:20:35to the test at his first cattle dog trial.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40You time yourself and you think you're going fast, but you're not,
0:20:40 > 0:20:44not 'till somebody... If they would just forget
0:20:44 > 0:20:48that clock, I said I could do all that stuff real good,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51but that time starts working on your mind.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Peewee will have to get the cows in
0:20:56 > 0:21:01and get a good rest as the big competition is only 18 hours away.
0:21:01 > 0:21:07It's still hard to think about doing it without getting a little queasy,
0:21:07 > 0:21:12because I feel if he doesn't do good, it's not going to be
0:21:12 > 0:21:16as much his fault as it's gonna be my inexperience.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Time for a "herd earned" bath and a cool down.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22You - don't drink the bath water, Peewee.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25It's the day of the competition
0:21:25 > 0:21:28and it's not just a cash prize at stake -
0:21:28 > 0:21:31there is also the much coveted, winners belt buckle.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35It's a nice belt buckle, and a lot of people want to win
0:21:35 > 0:21:38that just for the buckle. Money's not important,
0:21:38 > 0:21:40it's the pride of wearing it.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49Competition is stiff - there are some pretty good cow dogs out there.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52'Our next entry is Harry Boutall with Peewee.'
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Now it's Peewee's turn.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58He has to drive three calves through the course and into the pen.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59DING!
0:21:59 > 0:22:01He's off!
0:22:06 > 0:22:08HE BLOWS WHISTLE
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Peewee nearly goes the wrong way,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18but he's back on track.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22APPLAUSE
0:22:22 > 0:22:25He's got the three calves to the final gate.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29But time is running out!
0:22:29 > 0:22:31BUZZER
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Oh, so close!
0:22:33 > 0:22:36But it's all over for this little one.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39There'll be no belt buckle for Harry today.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43But Peewee performed well - not bad for the runt of the litter.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45After the excitement of the competition,
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Peewee's day job is waiting for him back at the ranch.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58We're heading to London, England.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Tom has lots and lots of bunnies.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06So he's had to pick out his favourite two to come down
0:23:06 > 0:23:09for the British Rabbit Championships -
0:23:09 > 0:23:11the top show of the bunny world.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13It's the day of the competition.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16It's been months in the making, as Tom has been training up these
0:23:16 > 0:23:17harebrained bunnies.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20There's a lot at stake.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26I do want to win, but I have to think to myself,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29this is the first show, it's a young rabbit.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32There could be other rabbits that are better.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Tom checks out the competition.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40There are thousands of fluffy fashionistas here
0:23:40 > 0:23:43from all over the country.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48All with their eyes on the trophy.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51And they are all getting groomed for their big chance.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59The worst that can happen is that I put them in their cage
0:23:59 > 0:24:03and they end up weeing themselves, and they're staining themselves.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Top tip - no wee, no poo.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10So that's the spots knocked off Domino, ready for the judges.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Domino should do quite well today. He's looking really nice.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18I think he's really calm, he's chilled out.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22I wish I could be chilled - I'm quite nervous and apprehensive.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Good girl.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30It's not just Tom that's feeling jumpy.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32She's really nervous today.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36I think she's feeling the pressure. I'm sure she's gonna relax into it,
0:24:36 > 0:24:40and then become a star and show herself off.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42While Polka Dot is feeling the pressure,
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Domino is just loving the attention.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51The rabbits line up. This is it. The competition is fluff -
0:24:51 > 0:24:52I mean, tough.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Which rabbit is better? Is Polka Dot better than Domino?
0:24:59 > 0:25:03I'm competing against Caroline's rabbits. She's been mentoring me
0:25:03 > 0:25:05so that's going to be worse.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07This here is one of Caroline's rabbits.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Directly below is Polka Dot, and opposite is Domino,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15so your competition is up there. So you've got to beat her.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23It's the moment of truth. First up is Polka Dot.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30And she certainly isn't behaving like she should.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40She better calm down, as it's very important that the judge
0:25:40 > 0:25:42has a good look at her.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47That little black mark is not permitted.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Oh! Polka Dot is disqualified for having a spot on her ear.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Tom is obviously distraught for her.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Disappointed. Very disappointed.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04So now, all Tom's hopes rest on Domino.
0:26:05 > 0:26:11But in between Domino and the prize, there is some tough competition.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Yes - Tom's rabbits are up against super-breeder, Caroline.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23Up pops Domino...
0:26:23 > 0:26:25There's only one winner.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Ah, he came in fourth! Good work, Domino.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Fourth isn't bad for his first competition.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42So there are no prizes for Domino this time,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45but you can bet that he'll be getting himself ready
0:26:45 > 0:26:48for next year. And what about Polka Dot?
0:26:48 > 0:26:50She's a champion. But not yet.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52She's a princess in the making.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02OK, OK, OK, enough of the dancing! I'm here! Listen.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05I want to try out my new comedy act on you, OK?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Are you ready to listen to some of my FOWL jokes?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11OK, I guess that's a yes - here's the first one.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13How do love birds dance?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Chick to chick! Ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:27:17 > 0:27:20OK, OK, here's another one. Ready?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Why do hummingbirds hum?
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Yeah, cos they don't know the words - ha-ha-ha!
0:27:28 > 0:27:29You like that one?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31No, you didn't.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37This was a bird-brained idea. You know what? Entertain yourself.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38See you later, buddy.
