0:00:00 > 0:00:02This show has highly-trained professionals
0:00:02 > 0:00:05working with dangerous, unpredictable animals.
0:00:05 > 0:00:09So don't attempt to do anything you see here yourselves.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10Yes?
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Moo!
0:00:26 > 0:00:31Did you know that right now there are people all around the UK
0:00:31 > 0:00:35working their socks off to help wounded wildlife and poorly pets?
0:00:35 > 0:00:38We've managed to get VIP passes
0:00:38 > 0:00:43for helpers to get stuck in at vets', wildlife sanctuaries and rescue centres.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Rats!
0:00:45 > 0:00:48It's tough and dirty work, but somebody's got to do it!
0:00:48 > 0:00:52On today's show, Jan and Rachel handle awesome American hawks.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Nicely done!
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Christian and Donel go head-to-head with Cliff, the giddy goat!
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Whoa!
0:01:00 > 0:01:06And Dick needs to be on his best bee-hive-iour for his wild work.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- Don't touch them, you might damage them.- I see.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- New posters ready yet? - Yes. Look at my silly face!
0:01:16 > 0:01:19I haven't much choice. Look at the size of yours
0:01:19 > 0:01:21and look at the size of mine!
0:01:21 > 0:01:24You're too far away. Come closer and use this.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37Today on Dick & Dom Go Wild, I'm on a farm. Hoo Farm, Shropshire.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41When I think of a farm, I think of sheep, cows and goats.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42And they do have all that here.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45But they also have rescued reptiles,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48bandaged birds of prey and injured invertebrae.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51And for one day only, they also have these two.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56Meet Jan and Rachel, two schoolmates from Belfast, Ireland.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Rachel is a fur fanatic.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02But there's a problem.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06I'd really like a pet, but I'm not allowed. Mum just says no.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Jan likes hanging round with most animals, too.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Not donkeys, though!
0:02:13 > 0:02:19I was once in a zoo and they started making their weird noises.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Eee-aw!
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Got it loud and clear, thanks, Jan.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29Let's hope today's animals make the right kind of noises for these two!
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Hello, Rachel and Jan. Welcome to Dick & Dom Go Wild.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Jan, you find animals amusing. What's that about?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38They make weird noises and they look a bit funny.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42We'll have a laugh today, and do some serious stuff too.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- Rachel, you've not been near animals before?- No. Mum doesn't like them.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Rubbish. You'll meet a lot of them today. First... Thank you!
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Put these on and let's get started.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55This place is home to a huge array of animals.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Many were rescued from miserable lives
0:02:58 > 0:03:01but they can now enjoy long-term shelter here.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05It's the perfect place for these two to show their animal care skills.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Will, thanks for having us. It's not an average farm. Where do we start?
0:03:09 > 0:03:14First, we've got a nice snake we've been looking after for two years.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Today he needs a bath. - How do you feel about that?
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Excited.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- It's a little snake. Do you want to meet it?- Yeah.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Come on, then. Follow me.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Monty is a four-metre long Burmese python.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32He was brought here after outgrowing his last home.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34He still has a bit more growing to do
0:03:34 > 0:03:37and could end up as wide as a lamp post!
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Meet the little snake.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Ever seen a snake that big before? - No!
0:03:43 > 0:03:45What do you think about that snake, Rachel?
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- I'm stunned!- Stunned! It's massive, isn't it?- Yeah!
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- How much does it weigh? - He weighs about 30 kilos.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57Wow! Heavier than you, Jan! Right, let's get to work.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Oh, man!
0:04:00 > 0:04:05- What are the white dots there, Will? - Those are old burn scars.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08It's from where he was kept in a tank too small for him
0:04:08 > 0:04:10and he couldn't get away from the heat.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12So he got burnt, unfortunately.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17Monty's skin has recovered well, but still needs regular TLC.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19That's how the team will be helping him today.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Do you want to have a feel? Is it OK to touch?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Yeah, feel free. He's as good as gold.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- How does that feel?- Smooth.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29It is. It's a lovely skin.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Why do you bathe him?- We give him baths regularly
0:04:32 > 0:04:35to stop him getting mites, or if he has, to kill them off.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39So is it a question of a bucket and sponge and rub it down?
0:04:39 > 0:04:44No, we have to take him out and put him in a bath tub.
0:04:44 > 0:04:50- You want us to carry it to the bath? - Yes.- I'm going to see a man about a goat. Enjoy!
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Best of luck, you two!
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Now that is a long snake! Get a firm grip!
0:05:02 > 0:05:06When I first saw Monty, I was just speechless! It was massive!
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I was terrified. It looked so big.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13But when I touched it, it wasn't really scary.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18Later, Jan and Rachel search the snake's skin for little critters.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20What do the mites actually look like?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Like tiny black dots.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26But first, Dom is walking on the wild side in Somerset.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Leeds. Bradford.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33A-ha! Found it!
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Here we are today at Secret World in Somerset
0:05:37 > 0:05:41where they look after over 4,000 sick, injured or orphaned animals
0:05:41 > 0:05:43every year.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47All with one main aim, to patch them up and release them to the wild.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51And our helpers are pet-less pals Donel and Christian.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56Donel finds foxes freaky but would love to have a...
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Monkey! Monkeys are my favourite.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I want a monkey for a pet because it's fun.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Christian used to have fish until they ate each other!
0:06:09 > 0:06:12He thinks cats have special powers.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Cats, I think, are Ninjas.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20They can kind of jump off really high buildings
0:06:20 > 0:06:22and they stay on and only lose one life,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25where if me and you did it, we'd die straightaway.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28These boys really want a wild adventure.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31But it looks pretty cool around here, boys.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36Water. That's the only thing we see.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Right. You want animal adventures. Let's kick things off
0:06:39 > 0:06:43at one of the busiest animal rescue centres in the UK.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- Christian, Donel. Welcome to the show. All right?- Yes.- Good.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Do you know what animals they have here?- No.- Cos it's a secret!
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Secret World. Christian, you once found a snake in your garden.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- Yeah.- A snake? Terrifying! Sure it wasn't a big fat worm?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- It was just a ginormous grass snake. - So nothing too bad.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Nothing dangerous here, just nice animals.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08I'd like you to wear that, and you wear that.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Go and get changed. No racing, come on.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16This place provides 24/7 animal rescue
0:07:16 > 0:07:21and every year over 4,000 animals roll through the doors here.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- Donel, Christian, this is Pauline. - Hello.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- Now, this is your kitchen, isn't it? - Yes, it is.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29You're going to do some baking! Are we?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Are you good at baking?- No!- No?
0:07:32 > 0:07:37No, you're here to see the rarest animal in the wild in Britain.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- In a kitchen. Can you see it?- No!
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Is Pauline having us on here?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Is it in the cupboard? - No, it's right behind you.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49If I put the light on, there she is.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53An otter cub! Tarn must have taken a wrong turn somewhere
0:07:53 > 0:07:57because she ended up miles from water in someone's garden shed.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01She's quite a big girl now. She's got a very long tail.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06- Can you see the beautiful webbed feet she's got?- Like fingernails.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11- But sharper.- It shows how well adapted she is to swim.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- She's an animal that spends a lot of time...- Paddling.- Right.
0:08:15 > 0:08:1940 years ago, river pollution affected the UK's otter population.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Now they're very rare.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26If you were lucky to see one in the wild, you'd never get this close.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Choose which fish you want.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Tarn needs her breakfast, so the boys' first job
0:08:31 > 0:08:34is to serve up a fishy feast.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36I'm having that one. I'm having that one.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- All right?- This feels so weird!
0:08:39 > 0:08:43It may stink, but this slimy fish is Tarn's favourite chomp,
0:08:43 > 0:08:45full of vitamins and oils.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Hold tight. There, she's got it.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Now for somewhere to secretly scoff it.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56And later, Tarn turns bath-time into a toilet stop!
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Eughh!
0:08:59 > 0:09:03In Shropshire, Jan and Rachel are filling a tub for this fella,
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Monty the monster-sized four-metre Burmese python.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11We're going to place him into the bath
0:09:11 > 0:09:15and you guys are going to gently rub your hands down his scales
0:09:15 > 0:09:21- to make sure all the scales get covered in soapy water. OK?- Yep.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Monty needs a soothing soak and inspection
0:09:25 > 0:09:28after recovering from some bad skin injuries.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32They are superb swimmers and can hold their breath for 30 minutes.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Not normally in a bath tub, though!
0:09:34 > 0:09:38First, Jan and Rachel need to check their slippery customer for mites.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41You need to put your hands on his body
0:09:41 > 0:09:46and run them in the wrong direction from his tail towards his head.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49If you run them up that way, nice and firm.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- What do mites actually look like? - Like tiny black dots.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56You can see them on your hands if he does have mites.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59These pesky parasites live on a snake's skin
0:09:59 > 0:10:03and can cause serious health problems.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Mites aren't just uncomfortable.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08They can cause dehydration, starvation and even death
0:10:08 > 0:10:11so this is an important job for our team.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14How often do you have to do this?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16We try to do it once a week.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19By doing it that often, it stops him getting mites
0:10:19 > 0:10:23or if he does have mites, it kills them off quickly.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Can you see any?- No.- Excellent.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29So, no mites on Monty.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Now a long lift back to his nice warm house
0:10:32 > 0:10:35and the Burmese python can coil up and chill out for the day.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42Washing a snake is probably one of the strangest things I've done.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I enjoyed it.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49And later, things get loads dirtier for Rachel and Jan.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51This is not what I signed up for!
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Back at the sanctuary, Donel and Christian
0:10:54 > 0:10:56are looking after otter cub, Tarn.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58This feels so weird!
0:10:58 > 0:11:02After feeding her some stinking raw fish in the kitchen,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04it's off to the bathroom.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Not for a relaxing bubble bath, though.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Tarn is here to learn to swim.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Let's put her in the bath and I bet you
0:11:11 > 0:11:15the first thing she'll do is go to the toilet!
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Yep, she does!- Eugh!
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Why do you have to teach her how to swim?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25In the wild, her mother would take her to the water to get her to swim
0:11:25 > 0:11:30so that she learns how to close her nostrils and to close her ears.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Because Mum's not around, swimming lessons here
0:11:33 > 0:11:37will help Tarn develop the skills she'll need back in the wild.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41As you can see, she's not that keen on it here.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43She's also a crafty climber!
0:11:43 > 0:11:46See, she's actually getting out of the bath now,
0:11:46 > 0:11:50so she's ready to be outside. She's too big to be in the house.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Lesson over, Pauline carries her by the scruff of the neck
0:11:54 > 0:11:55just like Mum would in the wild.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57It doesn't bother Tarn.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00We'll put the in the kitchen now. Rub her dry.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04This soggy otter could do with somewhere to dry off.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Perfect! Pauline's couch will do.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Their fur is so dense, they can withstand a lot of cold.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- Is it a protective shield against coldness?- Yes.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17I just saw it shake, like after you get out of the water.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20To get the water off. Or a dog shakes like that when it's wet.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23What are your thoughts on otters, lads?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27It was really good meeting an otter
0:12:27 > 0:12:31because what I like best is that it hides from people.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32It's fun to find it!
0:12:32 > 0:12:37I really like otters now. They're one of my favourite animals now.
0:12:39 > 0:12:45Later, Donel and Christian get called to a batty animal emergency!
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Oh, yeah, look at that!
0:12:49 > 0:12:52But first, Dick is buzzing about bees!
0:12:54 > 0:12:55That is your job for today.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- It's a bee hive.- Behave.- Bee hive!
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- Behave.- It's a hive for bees. A bee hive.- Buzz off!
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Let's get buzzy. Busy! Come on. Shut up.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Dick's job today is to get busy with honey bees.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13So why are we - or Dick - helping stinging bees?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Because they're brilliant!
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Bees help keep loads of rare plants alive by landing on them
0:13:19 > 0:13:21and pollinating them.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Dick's helping bee-keeper John check the health of his hives today.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- There we go. Check 'em out! - How many are in here, John?
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- About 30,000, I'd guess.- 30,000?!
0:13:33 > 0:13:36It's like a football stadium of bees!
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Remember, don't go near bee hives yourself.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Angry bees are dangerous. These two are fully protected.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47They're looking for the queen bee to confirm it's a thriving hive.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Without a queen, the hive cannot survive.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53She's the only one that lays eggs that hatch into female bees
0:13:53 > 0:13:55who collect the pollen that makes the honey
0:13:55 > 0:13:58that feeds the rest of the colony.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02With 30,000 bees and one queen, this could take a while!
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Where is she?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08There she is! Look!
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Phew! Glad we've got John's expert eye on this one!
0:14:11 > 0:14:13A little beauty.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17Would she get angry if you started messing about with the hive?
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- You can't touch them cos you might damage them.- I see.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- That's the last bee you need to damage in a hive.- Totally.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29They're happy and well and it's good for the winter. These are fine.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Job done!- Very good.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- But you're not finished yet. - What do you mean?
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- You have to name them all. - What? 30,000 of them?!
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- Get going.- I'll be here all day!
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- That's Dave.- Dave.- Dave there.- Dave.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- Dave.- Dave.- Dave One.- Dave One.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Dave Two. Dave Three...
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Dave Four...
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Back in Shropshire, Jan and Rachel are down on the farm
0:14:57 > 0:14:59fixing rescued animals.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Next up is this lot.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05Problem is that Jan thinks their braying sound is very annoying!
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Ee-aw!
0:15:08 > 0:15:10See?
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Before coming to Hoo Farm, these donkeys had hard lives
0:15:14 > 0:15:17giving rides to holidaymakers on beaches across the UK.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Thanks to Will and the team here, they can now enjoy their retirement
0:15:21 > 0:15:23and get the love and care they need.
0:15:23 > 0:15:29- Who's this?- This is Steph.- How old is she?- About 15 years old.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- What's Steph's story? - Steph has quite bad legs
0:15:32 > 0:15:34and a problem in the joints.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36So she needs special food and medication.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41It's not easy to give a donkey medicine.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43You can't find a spoon big enough!
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Not really! Donkeys don't like the taste of medicine
0:15:46 > 0:15:49so we're hiding Steph's in her favourite feed.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51With a good mix, we're good to go.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Jan, do the honours. ..Yes!
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Yum, yum, yum!
0:15:56 > 0:16:00This mixture is going to ease Steph's aches and pains perfectly.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Steph hasn't "ee-aw'd", made a sound. When do they do that?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06They tend to ee-aw most if excited.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11A donkey's bray can be heard up to two miles away.
0:16:11 > 0:16:17Thankfully for Jan, Steph and her pals aren't in the mood for a loud conversation today!
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Jan, how do you feel about being near Steph?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- She's nice and quiet so she doesn't annoy me.- Good stuff. Rachel?
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- She's really sweet.- There's a lot more to looking after donkeys.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30So get into the barn there and muck it out!
0:16:32 > 0:16:34It stinks so bad!
0:16:34 > 0:16:38It looks like our new donkey-dedicated duo
0:16:38 > 0:16:40might have drawn the short straw!
0:16:40 > 0:16:42This is not what I signed up for!
0:16:42 > 0:16:46But this hasn't stopped Jan changing his opinion on these braying beasts.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52This experience has changed my mind about donkeys
0:16:52 > 0:16:55cos now I know they're quiet and don't go "Ee-aw" all the time!
0:16:55 > 0:16:57They're not annoying.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Ee-aw! Ee-aw!
0:17:02 > 0:17:05And Jan and Rachel get handy with hawks later.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Yes!
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Nice one, Rachel!
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Donel and Christian have been helping Tarn the otter cub
0:17:13 > 0:17:16at the rescue centre in Somerset.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20But otters are on hold. We've had an animal emergency call-out.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- Pauline, what's happened? - We've had a call from a lady
0:17:24 > 0:17:28whose neighbour has a bat on her wall that's been there two days.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- That's not a good sign. - It isn't a good sign.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35So we're going to have a look at it, if you guys would like to come.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- This is what you do every day. - Day and night!- Let's do it.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Our top team is there in no time
0:17:41 > 0:17:44and the folks that called us out are on stand-by.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49- Hello, ladies!- Hello!- We've come to grab a bat off you!
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- Yes.- Whereabouts? - It's on the wall there.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Just round here?- I can see it. - Look at that!
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Tiny little thing. Can you see, lads?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Oh, yeah.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Bats are nocturnal critters, so finding one in the middle of the day
0:18:03 > 0:18:06is not a good sign.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Oh, you are so hungry!
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Aren't you? It's a juvenile.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14But it's really hungry. See how pinched it is there?
0:18:14 > 0:18:18That's because it desperately needs food.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20This is a common pipistrelle bat
0:18:20 > 0:18:23and they can neck up to 3,000 insects a night!
0:18:23 > 0:18:27This young one definitely needs some nosh to get its strength up.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32- Thanks very much. We'll take good care. Thanks for the call.- Thanks.
0:18:32 > 0:18:38In the animal hospital, animal care manager Sara is already on the case.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42The tiny bat is very still. The team tries to revive it with oxygen.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Do you want to grab one of those gloves in the box.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Pump hot water into it and tie a knot in it.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52We can pop him onto it like a little hot water bottle.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57This really is hands-on animal emergency work.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02The boys are totally focused on the job.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Keep your eyes really sharp on that area
0:19:05 > 0:19:08to see if you can see any breathing or heartbeat.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13It's a tense time. Everyone's doing their best to keep the bat alive.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16But it's not looking good.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Some people might think it doesn't really matter,
0:19:19 > 0:19:21but for them it's painful.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24They think, "Oh, it's just a little thing",
0:19:24 > 0:19:27but it's a big thing for them.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Well said, mate. That's just what the team here believes in.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Every animal life, no matter how small, is worth saving.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Come on, little fella!
0:19:41 > 0:19:46- It's...- It's been there so long. - It's...
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Breathing looks like it's stopped.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Tragically, it's too late for this little bat.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55He's all out of fight and there's nothing more we can do.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59It's not looking great, to be honest. You gave it your best shot.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- I just hoped as soon as they got that....- Oxygen.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07That oxygen thing, I thought it would pop up and come alive.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09But it didn't.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Unfortunately, like Pauline said, that's the way it goes here.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17This place takes in badly injured animals all the time.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Sadly, there's not always a happy ending.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22A brilliant effort from our boys, though.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Things are on the up later when they take on Cliff the goat!
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- I'll put it over him. You hold it. - OK. Yeah.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Before that, Dick has a wee problem to handle!
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Whoa! We're helping animals, not squeezing the life out of them!
0:20:41 > 0:20:46No, this is Winnie the cat and he can't go to the toilet himself.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48So I'm trying to help him wee
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- and Jason's shown me a technique of how to do that.- Oh.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Don't try this at home, or anywhere else!
0:20:54 > 0:20:56So, Jason.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- Lift him over the bowl.- OK.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02And then you gently squeeze on his bladder.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Winnie can't wee on his own after damaging his bladder when he was hit by a car.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Apparently, a little squeezing provides a lot of easing!
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- Does it hurt him?- No the opposite, actually.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18He can't feel his bladder so it's giving him relief
0:21:18 > 0:21:20otherwise his bladder would fill.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25- There you are, Winnie. Now onto number two.- That's disgusting!
0:21:25 > 0:21:28I'll stand and watch you squeeze wee out of a cat,
0:21:28 > 0:21:33- but not number twos.- Patient number two, you nugget! Next!
0:21:37 > 0:21:41At the sanctuary in Shropshire, Rachel, Jan and Chris the vet
0:21:41 > 0:21:44are preparing for a very special examination.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48This is Inca the Harris hawk and her handler, Bill.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Bill took in Inca after she became too much of a handful
0:21:51 > 0:21:53for her previous owner.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57He's keen to make sure she's in good health. An eye check first.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02Shine the light in her eye here. Go gently.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Lovely. She's got a nice round pupil and a lovely brown iris.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Nice clean eye. Shine on the other side as well.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Just the same. Beautifully clean.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16And the heartbeat next, please, Jan.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19It's like, "Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- It goes really fast.- Very fast, yes.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26When she's flying and hunting it goes a lot faster than it is now.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30These American birds are expert hunters
0:22:30 > 0:22:33and can snaffle small animals, birds and even snakes
0:22:33 > 0:22:35with those very impressive talons.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Give them a thorough once-over, Jan.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Beautiful. Nice and clean. The claws are sharp for catching prey
0:22:42 > 0:22:45but they're nice clean claws.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Not too sharp or too long.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51So Inca gets the all-clear from the team
0:22:51 > 0:22:54and the big bird has made a massive impression on Rachel.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57She's absolutely gorgeous.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01It's unbelievable we can get this close to something like this.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05You ain't seen nothing yet, you two.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08A final test to confirm Inca's in good health -
0:23:08 > 0:23:10you're getting a crash course in falconry.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Let's hope that Inca and her friend Trojan
0:23:15 > 0:23:17aren't the ones doing the crashing!
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- Got it!- Yay!
0:23:21 > 0:23:23How does it feel when it lands?
0:23:23 > 0:23:27It's actually pretty cool, but sometimes it's scary.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Inca, come on, girl!
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Yes! Smooth!
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Harris hawks are social birds
0:23:37 > 0:23:40and hunt in groups to increase their chances of success.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Very clever!
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Nicely done!
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Good handling!
0:23:45 > 0:23:48It's been a top day of hands-on help.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Excellent effort from both of you.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55A busy day. You've bathed a snake, fed a donkey, helped its knees,
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- and flown the hawks. How do you feel?- It was really fun.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- Best bit?- Flying the hawks. I like big birds.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Rachel?- Flying the hawks. - Good stuff.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08- Will you look at animals differently now?- Definitely.- Yes.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Put it there. These two have officially Gone Wild!
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Back in Somerset, Donel and Christian are hoofing it over
0:24:17 > 0:24:20to help Judith with a boisterous resident.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25- Hello, boys. I want to introduce you to Cliff.- Hello, Cliff.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26He's a mountain goat.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29He came into us cos he fell off a cliff when he was tiny.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Hence the name Cliff. Today we're going to move him.
0:24:32 > 0:24:38Like all horned goats, Cliff loves a bit of horn bashing.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Fine as long as the other goats have horns too!
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Cliff's being moved so he can't harm his hornless pals.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48The first thing I need you to do is pop these on.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52That looks like a good idea. Am I right?
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Charming! Time to grab that goat, guys.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Here he is.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03If you want to try and pop the collar round his neck.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Just mind his horns.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Cliff is not daft. He knows the boys are up to something!
0:25:10 > 0:25:12- Whoa!- Whoa!
0:25:12 > 0:25:15That's him saying, "Butt out of my business!"
0:25:15 > 0:25:20I'll put it over him, you hold it. Then I'll slip it into there.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21Yeah, OK.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Cliff is keen to show Donel his heading skills,
0:25:25 > 0:25:29so Judith moves Donel out of sight so Cliff is easier to control.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- Do you know my secret?- What?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Custard creams!
0:25:33 > 0:25:38That's done the trick, giving Christian a chance to grab Cliff.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40There's a good boy.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Well done, Christian!
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Yeah, I lassoed a goat!
0:25:44 > 0:25:49With the collar on, get Cliff to his new home before he kicks off again!
0:25:50 > 0:25:54Hey, Cliff, lots of head-knocking opportunities here!
0:25:55 > 0:25:57There you go! Who's that?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Bosh! He doesn't waste a second!
0:26:00 > 0:26:05- Are these two having a fight? - It's a dominance thing, really.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09That's why it's important to keep goats with horns together,
0:26:09 > 0:26:11because they won't damage each other.
0:26:11 > 0:26:17- So if Cliff wins, he becomes like the new boss?- That's right.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21One horned goat re-homed. Lovely work, chaps!
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Talking of rehoming, remember Tarn the otter?
0:26:25 > 0:26:28It's time for her to settle in to her plush new pad.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Donel and Christian see she gets there safely.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Come and see your new house.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38Once Tarn has settled, Pauline will spend less time with her
0:26:38 > 0:26:39to prepare for her return to the wild.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42You're very lucky to be able to stroke her.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44In a few weeks, you won't be able to.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46We want her to revert to being wild
0:26:46 > 0:26:48and hide when anybody approaches.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51They have to be afraid of human beings.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54It'll be 18 months before Tarn is ready to leave.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58The boys have helped her chances of survival.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01It's something you'll never be able to do again. It's special.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- I'm going to miss her. - She's really sweet.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10Well done, chaps. You've got stuck in to your wildlife work. Awesome!
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- Did you enjoy the day? - Definitely.- Yes.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16I know you were looking forward to it.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- What was the best bit?- The otter. - You liked that.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24- Giving it a bath. And you? - Mine was feeding it the fish.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Nice and dirty and smelly! Well done, guys, you've been fantastic.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Well done.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38- Dave 29,951, Dave 29,9...- Sorry.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Little problem. Dave, yeah?
0:27:41 > 0:27:42They're all women.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51Davina one, Davina two, Davina three, Davina four...
