0:00:02 > 0:00:05Hi, welcome to Animals At Work, the show where...animals work.
0:00:05 > 0:00:06TRUMPETING
0:00:06 > 0:00:10All over the planet, there are millions of animals that have jobs.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Ah!
0:00:11 > 0:00:13This is the show that brings you
0:00:13 > 0:00:16the funniest, coolest and most bizarre...
0:00:16 > 0:00:17Moo!
0:00:17 > 0:00:18Animals At Work.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Coming up...
0:00:20 > 0:00:23This little guy battles against the odds as he follows his dream
0:00:23 > 0:00:26of being accepted by some VIP guests.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31The Fanimals are challenged to find out which one of these animals
0:00:31 > 0:00:33has a hidden talent.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Bmm-buh-bmm!
0:00:34 > 0:00:38And we get an extra big bite of Animal Bytes.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42But now it's...
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Showtime!
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Quick, quick, come here!
0:01:00 > 0:01:05Kids, this is really exciting - over there we have an emu.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Very difficult to get up close to, we're about three metres away.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13And a rare wallaby from the Australian outback - unbelievable!
0:01:13 > 0:01:17And if I'm not mistaken, a very rare a floating ferret.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Very rare to find.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22John, that's actually the microphone. >
0:01:22 > 0:01:25All right, so it's a microphone.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Look, just enjoy the show.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33First, we're off to Cumbria in the UK.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41The countryside.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45If you want to find peace and quiet, then this is the place to come.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Look at all the nature there is to see -
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Horses...
0:01:49 > 0:01:50WHINNY
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Sheep...
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Baa!
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Llamas.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Llamas? Are you sure?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02They're originally from South America.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05What are they doing up here in Cumbria?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Ah, they all work for Mary and Caroline Walker
0:02:09 > 0:02:10as llama tour guides
0:02:10 > 0:02:12All the adult llamas are fully trained guides,
0:02:12 > 0:02:16which means they take people for long walks, and along the way
0:02:16 > 0:02:18build their confidence by being friendly.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21They do this by going out in groups, no matter the weather,
0:02:21 > 0:02:25and even let people stroke them - this is very relaxing for everyone.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Llamas are ideal for this as they are naturally curious animals,
0:02:29 > 0:02:30and very sociable.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34In fact, they are considered to be the dolphins of the land.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Perfect for the tranquil environment their visitors need.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Today, the llamas have some VIPs coming to see them.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45These VIPs are all young people who have the big responsibility
0:02:45 > 0:02:47of having to care for another family member.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50So, for the llama-tour-guide team, it's important that
0:02:50 > 0:02:54they are all as professional as possible and on best behaviour.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59But there's a problem - there are two untrained members of the herd.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Meet Diamond...
0:03:01 > 0:03:04And Geeza.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Diamond is six-months-old, and the daughter of the leader of the herd.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11With this advantage, her impeccable pedigree
0:03:11 > 0:03:14and six whole weeks' training under her belt, it's no wonder
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Diamond is a bit of a goody-two-shoes who can do no wrong.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Diamond, come.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Ah, isn't she perfect? So well-trained.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Diamond is very sweet, very nosy, very easy to train,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34and very food-orientated.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Geeza, on the other hand, is a bit of an underdog,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41or should that be an under-llama?
0:03:41 > 0:03:46Geeza is only four-months-old and can be unruly and disobedient.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Oh, and he's got a tendency to bite.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55We can see now he's chasing his mum around and trying to bite her tail.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Being a boy doesn't necessarily go in Geeza's favour.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Boys might grow up to be bigger and able to carry more weight,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08which is great for carrying heavy picnics up mountains,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11but they also tend to be more rough and tumble,
0:04:11 > 0:04:14and that's not good for becoming a guide!
0:04:18 > 0:04:22And Geeza doesn't get any special treatment by being the only boy
0:04:22 > 0:04:24in the herd of lady llamas.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27In fact, even his aunts don't think he's up to the job.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Look at those withering looks!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36However, Geeza's biggest disadvantage is that,
0:04:36 > 0:04:38until now, he has had no training.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41If he's to be considered a suitable candidate for a tour guide,
0:04:41 > 0:04:45he's going to have to perform a miracle in training.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47No pressure then, Geeza.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Today is the biggest day of Geeza's life.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55The VIPs are coming, and if he behaves and doesn't bite -
0:04:55 > 0:04:56I said, don't bite, Geeza!
0:04:56 > 0:05:00He will join Diamond and finally start his training.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02If he misbehaves,
0:05:02 > 0:05:06his dreams of becoming a trained guide will be in tatters.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Will Geeza manage to be on his best behaviour for the VIPs,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13or will he show himself up in front of all his relatives?
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Stay tuned.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Animals At Work has been trawling the internet
0:05:22 > 0:05:26to see what your crazy animals get up to on their days off.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30We've seen some pretty bizarre behaviour out there.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Here's a big bite of some of the best bits.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36I feel the need, the need for speed.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39First up, this hamster thrill-seeker loves nothing more
0:05:39 > 0:05:42than going for a quick spin in his wheel.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43That's "wheelie" quick.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46And when he's had enough, what does he do?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Bail out, of course!
0:05:48 > 0:05:50What a dizzy rascal he must be.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54From one speed demon to another,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56but this boxer dog is a bit of a petrolhead, it seems.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00# Born to be wild... #
0:06:00 > 0:06:03And he's aptly named Harley.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Good boy, mate.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Nothing like the wind in your fur...and your tongue.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Put it away, Harley.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16And here's a cool cat with some wicked wheels.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23While this puss moves at a gentle pace.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Ah, she really is getting into this game of hide-and-seek.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Other animals prefer a more active lifestyle, and they work hard
0:06:31 > 0:06:34to stay fit, and a treadmill is the perfect way to do it.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37This guy is having the time of his life,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40but his friend is just sitting around.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Come on, join in, buddy!
0:06:44 > 0:06:47And anything a dog can do, a cat can do better.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I've never seen such great cat-walking...
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Pigs are more team players.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55These guys love a game of football.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58I wouldn't say it's particularly a fast game.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01These porkers are trotters, not sprinters.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Still, there's some pretty cool dribbling going on.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I wonder what happens if they foul?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Would you call it a "ham-ball"?
0:07:08 > 0:07:12And for one of these porkers it's all been a bit too exhausting
0:07:12 > 0:07:14and he's opted for an early bath.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Other animals are a bit more cultured.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Music, maestro.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I don't think I know that tune.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- PIANO RECITAL MUSIC - Look at this piano-playing pooch,
0:07:28 > 0:07:32who's gone to the extra effort of dressing up for this recital.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34What a debonair doggy!
0:07:34 > 0:07:38How's our cat in the vase doing?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Looks like she's still not been found.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Let's hope this chatty cockatoo doesn't give the game away.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- It's not fair! - I know it's not fair,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50don't get your feathers ruffled, pal!
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Talking of feathers, some animals like nothing more than
0:07:54 > 0:07:59to shake a tail feather, or in other words, dance!
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Other animals like to take work home with them.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Like this cat, who has some last-minute photocopying to do.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Or this chatty catty.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25And another cat who's clearly waiting for an important meeting.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Wow!
0:08:26 > 0:08:32All this out-of-work hours action has given some animals an appetite.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Sam the donkey is so peckish
0:08:34 > 0:08:37he's let himself into the kitchen to get his own snack.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39That's one super-cool mule.
0:08:41 > 0:08:47And look at this ferret, ferreting around in the fridge.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51And this talented tabby, who's paused - get it? -
0:08:51 > 0:08:53to have a quick nibble.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57This hamster is literally trying to eat its body weight in carrots.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I wonder what else he's hiding in those cheeks.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Speaking of hiding,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05the hide-and-seek cat never got found so gives up.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Clearly these goats are bored of hiding up this tree.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Look how many of them there are.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19These guys should be in a circus.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21But it does beg the question,
0:09:21 > 0:09:23how did they get there in the first place?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26An awesome and display of some peculiar animal pastimes,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I'm sure you'll all agree - bravo!
0:09:33 > 0:09:36All zese animals getting jobs?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39My ingenious animal inventions vill stop them!
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Ah, hello zere.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44I am Dr John Brainyman,
0:09:44 > 0:09:46ze vorld's greatest inventor of animal gadgets.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50I've invented everything from a submarine for a fish
0:09:50 > 0:09:52to roller skates for a snake.
0:09:52 > 0:09:59Today I am working on an invisible invisibility coat, that will allow
0:09:59 > 0:10:03a human to disappear just like a chameleon can in ze vild.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06OK, so I sving around here,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09then you zip all ze vay up to ze top.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17I'm invisible. Yes, I actually am invisible. No-one can see me.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20I can do whatever I want. I can pick my nose and flick.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- And no-one can see me. - Morning, John.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Maybe people can see me.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32I need the Fanimals, the kids who love animals.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- And here are the...- Fanimals. Yes.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Let's meet the Fanimals, our animal detectives.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48Today, the Fanimals are rolling back the hands of time to find out...
0:10:48 > 0:10:51ALL: Which animal would be the best historian?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54The candidates are three wise beings.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56A crocodile,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58an Asian elephant
0:10:58 > 0:11:00and Aldabra giant tortoise.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04To be an historian you need to have the intelligence
0:11:04 > 0:11:06to sift through relevant facts,
0:11:06 > 0:11:09wisdom for a sense of historical perspective
0:11:09 > 0:11:13and a good memory to remember all those dates.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Who did the animals think might get the job?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22I think it would be a crociphant because...
0:11:22 > 0:11:25because it's the age of a crocodile
0:11:25 > 0:11:27and the memory of an elephant.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30A crociphant, but best animal in existence.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Good imagination, Fanimal, but we aren't looking for a new species.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Here are some facts to help you decide.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Historian candidate number one, the crocodile.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Crocodiles were around at the same time as the dinosaurs,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48that's over 200 million years ago.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51But what if you think that the crocodile
0:11:51 > 0:11:53doesn't have a very good memory?
0:11:53 > 0:11:57What if it was two million years ago and there's still a crocodile alive
0:11:57 > 0:12:00from that time and he doesn't remember?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Mm, that's an interesting thought.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Crocodiles may not be known for their memories
0:12:05 > 0:12:07but they are survivors
0:12:07 > 0:12:10and it's not surprising they've managed to survive for so long.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11They're deadly animals.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15This crock has got over 60 razor-sharp teeth.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18They help him digest some bite-sized historical facts?
0:12:21 > 0:12:26Historian candidate number two, the Asian elephant.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30There are two kinds of elephants, the African elephant
0:12:30 > 0:12:33and its smaller cousin, the Asian elephant.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Elephants aren't just the world's largest land mammals,
0:12:36 > 0:12:40they also have the largest brain of any land mammal.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Maybe that's where they get their long memory from.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45But in proportion to the size of their bodies,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48elephants' brains are smaller than humans.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52And listen up, Fanimals, elephants might not be as brainy as you
0:12:52 > 0:12:55but they do have an incredible sense of hearing
0:12:55 > 0:12:58and that they can communicate sense over several kilometres.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Could that help them shout out their history lessons?
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Historian candidate number three, the Aldabra giant tortoise.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09The Aldabra giant tortoise has a lengthy body
0:13:09 > 0:13:13and they're quite weighty.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18There's even one male in Texas who weighs a whopping 360 kilos.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- That's huge!- Ginormous!
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Aldabra giant tortoises will eat almost anything and a lot of it...
0:13:26 > 0:13:28including worms.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32So they carry on gaining weight for most of their lives.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Although they're famously calm, cautious and heavy,
0:13:35 > 0:13:39they've been known to attempt crazy acrobatic feats in order
0:13:39 > 0:13:41to reach some yummy leaves, risking death
0:13:41 > 0:13:44if they tip onto their backs and aren't able to roll back over.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Could that help them in any way to be an historian?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50So, Fanimals, you heard the facts.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Which animal do you think would make the best historian?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56ALL: We think it's the elephant.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00They think it's the elephant, I still think it's the crociphant.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Since crocodiles don't exist, we'll go with the elephant for the
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Fanimals' vote for best historian, but did the Fanimals get it right?
0:14:10 > 0:14:11And the winner is...
0:14:11 > 0:14:15the Aldabra tortoise. Bad luck, Fanimals.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17You got it wrong.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20It's the Aldabra tortoises' incredible life span
0:14:20 > 0:14:23that makes them the best historians.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Aldabra tortoises live longer than any other animal in the world.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30The oldest Aldabra tortoise is said to have lived to the ripe old age
0:14:30 > 0:14:34of 255 years which would make it the oldest animal ever.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bar!
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Now, that's a lot of history.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Welcome back to calm and peaceful Cumbria...
0:14:50 > 0:14:54..home to way heard of llama tour guides, where this guy,
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Geeza, who's anything but calm and peaceful,
0:14:56 > 0:15:01has to learn to behave himself if he wants to become a llama tour guide.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Just like his mum and aunt before him.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Today, Geeza is facing the biggest test of his life,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14a meeting with some VIP guests.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18If he's well-behaved, he might be considered for training.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21The problem is, he's a biter.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Geeza isn't the only llama who has a big day today.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Diamond, the daughter of the herd leader,
0:15:31 > 0:15:35is also being tested as a tour guide and with six weeks' training
0:15:35 > 0:15:38under her belt already, is quite the teacher's pet.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46But Geeza hasn't had any training at all.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Today they must both be on best behaviour.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52The VIPs have finally arrived for their trek.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Geeza won't be going on this but afterwards,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58he'll have a big chance to show how friendly he can be.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02This is important not just for Geeza's career dreams
0:16:02 > 0:16:04but for the young carers as well.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07They usually spend their time looking after dependent relatives
0:16:07 > 0:16:10so they don't get out much. It's a special day for them.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13First, the qualified tour guides go out trekking.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16This is the first time I've handled a llama.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Head up high, they walk calmly and confidently,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22showing off their years of guiding experience.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Look, no biting. Watch and learn, Diamond and Geeza...
0:16:25 > 0:16:28..who are patiently waiting for their big chance.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35But rain comes and if it continues to fall,
0:16:35 > 0:16:39our young llamas won't get to meet their carers.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42This is because they, unlike their older relatives,
0:16:42 > 0:16:46don't have waterproof coats yet. This could be a disaster!
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Geeza might not be able to see the VIPs at all.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58But wait, what's this? The rain passes.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Go on, Geeza! Here's your chance to impress. Diamond goes first though.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09True to form, teachers' pet Diamond puts on an impeccable show,
0:17:09 > 0:17:11even comes when she's called.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18Well done. Good girl, Diamond. I like Diamond when we fed her.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21She gave us a kiss. That was very funny.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Well, we know your game, Diamond. You're just after food.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Next up, it's our cheeky chap's turn.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Can you see the little white one with a brown face?
0:17:34 > 0:17:39Just over there. That's Geeza. He's a cheeky little guy.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Come on, Geeza. You only get one chance. Remember, no biting.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Geeza looks a bit nervous.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Goes to Carole for some quick words of encouragement
0:17:47 > 0:17:50and off he goes to meet the children.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54If this goes well, he'll get to move on to the next stage of training.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Look at this, not only is Geeza going to them to be stroked,
0:17:58 > 0:18:00he's handing out kisses too!
0:18:00 > 0:18:03The cheeky llama! Let's see that again.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Yeah, Geeza is typically cheeky
0:18:07 > 0:18:10and I think that's how Geeza is always going to be.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13As you can see, he's kissing everybody at the moment.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15He just loves the attention.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Geeza is really spreading the love.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25This is a great start for the youngster
0:18:25 > 0:18:27but it's only just the beginning.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31He still has to learn to wear a collar and walk on a lead.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Stay tuned to see how Geeza's llama drama pans out.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49It's not just today that animals have had jobs.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52In fact, history reveals that in the past, they've had even more
0:18:52 > 0:18:57amazing jobs than today and here are those history's heroes.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Hello again. Professor John Bumbleman here,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04the world's foremost expert on all things animal history.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Today, I'm here to present the award for the best animal job
0:19:08 > 0:19:12of all time. Let's have a look at some of the contenders.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17First up it's Clara,
0:19:17 > 0:19:20an Indian rhinoceros whose job was brilliant because she was incredibly
0:19:20 > 0:19:24famous as one of their first living rhinos to be seen in Europe.
0:19:24 > 0:19:31Clara work started in Rotterdam. In 1741, she was an instant hit.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36When word of her arrival spread, everyone wanted to see Clara
0:19:36 > 0:19:39so she set off on a tour of Europe.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43For the next 17 years, yes, 17 years.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48During her road trip, Clara visited Italy, Prague,
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Switzerland, Denmark, Poland, Holland and the UK,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54meeting royals and posing for artists.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Nice work if you can get it.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59That's a good job. It's much better than this one.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Standing behind the podium... Oh, hello. Welcome back.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Let's take a look at some more animals nominated for
0:20:05 > 0:20:08the best jobs in history award.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Our next nominee is the scarab beetle.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Her day job wasn't too glamorous, no, no, no.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17It involves rolling up poo!
0:20:17 > 0:20:20The scarab beetle was famous for pushing poo into balls,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22where she'd lay her eggs.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26When the eggs hatch, the babies would eat the dung ball. Yuck.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31The ancient Egyptians couldn't work out how the sun moved
0:20:31 > 0:20:33across the sky every day.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36But having observed the scarab beetle, they decided the only
0:20:36 > 0:20:40explanation was the beetle was pushing the sun into place.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45This led to our little friend being considered as an ancient
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Egyptian God and therefore the most worshipped animal in history.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55Seriously, I'm getting pretty envious of these animals' jobs now.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Look at this one! Get my agent on the phone now.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Our next nominee for best job had an explosive start to his career.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05In 1918, this five-year-old German shepherd was rescued
0:21:05 > 0:21:09from a bombed-out kennel in France by an American soldier.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11The puppy was named Rin-Tin-Tin
0:21:11 > 0:21:14and whisked off to the soldier's home in America.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Four years later, Rin-Tin-Tin auditioned for a role in a film.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21The audition and went very, very, very, very well.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24He completed the scene perfectly and in only one take.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27And got the job as a doggy actor.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Rin-Tin-Tin was such a success,
0:21:29 > 0:21:34he went on to start in 25 more films earning thousands and thousands.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37He was so popular, he received 10,000 letters from adoring fans
0:21:37 > 0:21:42each week and even had his own star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Now, where can I get a job like that?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52My agent.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56BURBLING ON PHONE
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Are you OK? Your voice sounds like a mouse.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02What did you mean you are a mouse? What?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05You've taken over the office, you animals!
0:22:05 > 0:22:08You really are getting all the good jobs!
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Now look at this pooch called Peps and his amazing job.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16Peps worked with world-famous German composer Wilhelm Richard Wagner.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Wagner trusted Pep's musical ability so much that it's said
0:22:20 > 0:22:24he wouldn't publish an opera unless he enjoyed listening to it.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Music lover Peps would sit in a special chair
0:22:27 > 0:22:31and listen to Wagner's new compositions.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35If Peps didn't like the music, Wagner would change it until he did.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38So there we have it, helping to create some of the world's most
0:22:38 > 0:22:42popular classical music. That's a great job, Peps.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45But not the best.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49And the winner of the best animal job in history is...
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Oh, that's a good one. Have look at this.
0:22:56 > 0:23:02On the January 31st, 1961, Ham the chimp blasted off into space.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07His flight took him an amazing 157 miles above Earth.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12Of course, like any astronaut, Ham was safe in his space suit.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16He loved floating bananas. But for Ham, one great job was not enough.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20When he returned to Earth, Hollywood called. Ring, ring!
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Ham went on to star in Evil Kenevil films.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28Not one amazing job but two. That really takes the best job biscuit.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32And now, all that remains is the award for the outstanding
0:23:32 > 0:23:35contribution to animal history.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Really, just don't know what to say actually. Well...
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Here goes, anyway. You know who the winner is going to be.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Professor what? Who is that? This is a fix!
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Welcome back to Cumbria in the UK...
0:23:59 > 0:24:02..where we've been following the progress of a little llama
0:24:02 > 0:24:05with a big heart.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08This guy, Geeza, isn't he cute?
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Geeza is desperate to follow in the footsteps of his relatives
0:24:12 > 0:24:15and become a llama tour guide.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18This is the first time I've handled a llama.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22If Geeza is successful in his training, this dream could become
0:24:22 > 0:24:25a reality and he'll be able to take visitors out on treks.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28He's done really well to get this far for a little llama
0:24:28 > 0:24:30with no experience.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33He was so friendly to the group of young carers for the came to visit.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36He didn't even bite anyone!
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Geeza has a rival in the form of Diamond,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42a fellow wannabe llama tour guide,
0:24:42 > 0:24:46- and daughter of the herd leader, Lil.- Diamond, come!
0:24:46 > 0:24:49With six weeks' training under her belt,
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Diamond is a bit of a teacher's pet.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56This next stage in the training is Geeza's big chance to shine.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01Let's hope he doesn't slip back into his old bad habits and bite someone.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04It's critical for Geeza to succeed.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Today, Geeza must learn to wear a head collar and walk on a lead.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11The training has started
0:25:11 > 0:25:14and Diamond goes first to show off her talents.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Of course, Diamond has done this before and is so obedient.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22Yes, Diamond, we know you're great! But what's this?
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Oh, she's misbehaving. Hurrah! What has come over the little princess?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31And she definitely doesn't like having the collar put on today.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35He says, "Oh, I don't like the feel of that on my head."
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Mum's watching and doesn't look happy.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Unbelievably, Diamond isn't behaving.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43She's really let herself down.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46This isn't a great training day for Diamond.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Finally, it's Geeza's turn. This is the biggest moment of his life.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55But boss Mary and his established tour guide mum are both on hand
0:25:55 > 0:25:58to de-stress the little fellow.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Oh, he's not doing too badly. I don't believe it.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05The head collar goes on.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Got his head collar on.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Now it's time to see how he walks with the reins on.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Come on, Geeza. We're all behind you!
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Hey! This is astonishing.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31The baby llama with no training has played a blinder.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34He's walking like a true pro and has proved he's a perfect
0:26:34 > 0:26:37candidate to join the llama tour guides.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41# Walk this way, talk this way
0:26:41 > 0:26:45# Walk this way... #
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I think he's learnt very, very well
0:26:47 > 0:26:50and he's done very well for his first time.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Well done, Geeza. You're one llama with a lot of charm.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57And well on your way to becoming a guide.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02MUSIC: "Hoppipolla" by Sigur Ros
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Well, that's the end of the show. Hey, do you want an autograph?
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Penguins can be so cold!
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Yeah, ignore me. Thanks a lot. Yeah, that's right, scratch your head.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31What's more important? Scratching your head or looking at me?
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Do you know who I am?
0:27:33 > 0:27:37I'm an internationally known presenter and actor extraordinaire.
0:27:37 > 0:27:42And all you can do is show me your rear end. Thanks.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44See you next time.
