0:00:02 > 0:00:06In this show, trained professionals work with unpredictable animals.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10So please do not attempt anything you're about to see yourselves.
0:00:28 > 0:00:32'Did you know that right now there are people all around the UK
0:00:32 > 0:00:36'working their socks off to help wounded wildlife and poorly pets?
0:00:36 > 0:00:40'And we've managed to get VIP passes for willing helpers to get stuck in
0:00:40 > 0:00:44'at the busiest vet, wildlife sanctuaries and rescue centres.'
0:00:44 > 0:00:49Rats! 'It's tough and dirty work, but somebody's got to do it.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52'On today's show, Janet and Chanda
0:00:52 > 0:00:56'are involved in a moving experience at a marine sanctuary.'
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Let's go. Clear the path. Seals coming through!
0:00:59 > 0:01:03'Can Mark and Ian grab a goat at a busy rescue centre?'
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Don't let go!
0:01:05 > 0:01:09'And I get the needle as Dom has a brush with a llama.'
0:01:09 > 0:01:14- What does it mean when they do that? - They're getting ready to spit.- Good.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19MUMBLING SOUNDS
0:01:19 > 0:01:22What my friend is trying to say
0:01:22 > 0:01:27is he is about to spend all day looking after underwater creatures.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- MUMBLES - And I'm off to an animal shelter.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33ANGRY MUMBLING
0:01:33 > 0:01:38And that he likes nothing better than stitching his trousers together
0:01:38 > 0:01:41while shouting, "Look at me biscuits!"
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Utter nonsense! I don't shout it. I whisper it.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52Today, I'll be taking in the sea air here in Scarborough.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Ah! And I'll be lending a hand at a busy sea life centre.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59It'll actually be these two that'll be lending a hand.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04'We've got two "wheely" keen Go Wilders today -
0:02:04 > 0:02:06'sisters Chanda and Janet.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10'Chanda thinks furry animals are super,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12'but frogs make her jumpy.'
0:02:12 > 0:02:16I don't like the way that they can jump high.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20And I don't like the way they're all slimy.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24'Janet is not hot on pesky, pooing pigeons,
0:02:24 > 0:02:29'but there's a long list of other stuff she would love as a pet.'
0:02:29 > 0:02:32I'd like a horse,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34like to ride a lot,
0:02:34 > 0:02:38a hamster, a cat and a dog.
0:02:38 > 0:02:44- Please!- 'Begging their dad hasn't helped this petless pair.'- No.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49'But let's see if a busy shift at a marvellous marine sanctuary
0:02:49 > 0:02:52'can convince him to net them a pet.'
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Hello, Chanda. Hello, Janet.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Welcome to Scarborough where today we'll Go Wild.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02- Have you brought spare clothes?- No. - No.- You might get a bit wet.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05So stick these on and follow me.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12'The Scarborough Sea Life Centre has aquatic wonders
0:03:12 > 0:03:14'from all around the world on show,
0:03:14 > 0:03:18'but they also take in rescued UK marine life.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23'They fix 'em up and if possible, release them back into the wild.'
0:03:23 > 0:03:28- Lindsay, this is Janet and Chanda, your helpers.- Fantastic.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Nice to meet you. I've got some friends I want to introduce you to.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36This is what you'll be helping me with this morning.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- What are their names?- We've got Lily Allen and Dusty Springfield.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44'Lily and Dusty are two five-month-old grey seals that came
0:03:44 > 0:03:49'to the Sea Life Centre after being found alone and unwell on a beach.'
0:03:49 > 0:03:52When these guys came in, they were really poorly.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- Have you had chickenpox before? - Yeah.- I have.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Basically, they had chickenpox, but sealpox.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02They were covered in spots all over their bodies.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06A seal rubbing its belly all the time, it gets cut and infected.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11It made them really poorly, so it took them a long time to get better.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15'Thankfully, the pups are well on their way to recovery and are ready
0:04:15 > 0:04:18'to join healthy seals in the main area
0:04:18 > 0:04:20'where they'll learn the skills they'll need
0:04:20 > 0:04:23'when they're released into the wild.'
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Ready, girls? We'll get these two into there?- Yeah.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Let's get you some gloves.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33'Janet and Chanda need to lay out a trail of the seals' favourite food
0:04:33 > 0:04:36'to tempt them out of the recovery pool.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40'But it looks like Lily and Dusty know something fishy is up.'
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Come on, Dusty. What's this?
0:04:42 > 0:04:46The seagulls are nicking your food. Come on!
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Come on then!
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Here's a fish.- Oh!
0:04:53 > 0:04:56'They're not budging. It looks like we need a Plan B.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00'And later, Plan B, we drain the recovery pool,
0:05:00 > 0:05:02'but can we pick up the pups?'
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Go. That's it!
0:05:04 > 0:05:08'Before that, Dom dips into a busy rescue centre in southern England.'
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Today on Dick And Dom Go Wild,
0:05:11 > 0:05:14we're at Margaret Green Animal Rescue in Dorset.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19'And joining me today are brothers Mark and Ian.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22'Mark loves small, fluffy things,
0:05:22 > 0:05:26'but he's got no time for grunting pigs.'
0:05:27 > 0:05:32I like sausages, though, which is the one good thing about a pig.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36'Ian here is a lover of cute balls of fluff too.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39'His pet hate is goats.'
0:05:39 > 0:05:44I really, really do not like goats. They are so greedy.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47'These boys are bored stiff of their fish,
0:05:47 > 0:05:50'but Dad's not willing to improve their pet.'
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- Oh, please! Please, please! - No! No! No!
0:05:54 > 0:05:57'Let's rise to the challenge, boys,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00'and show Dad how good you can be with your own animal.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04'Roll up, roll up to a marvellous animal rescue centre!'
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Boys, welcome to Dick And Dom Go Wild.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Boo to your mummy and boo to your daddy! They won't let you have pets.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14But we're here at Margaret Green Animal Rescue
0:06:14 > 0:06:17where you'll help out with loads of different animals.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- I've got to stay clear of what? - Goats.- And?- Pigs.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25No goats or pigs. I'll stay clear of them. Let's get ready. Woah-ha-ha!
0:06:28 > 0:06:31'They care for all kinds of unwanted animals here,
0:06:31 > 0:06:35'including ones our boys definitely are not bothered about.'
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Helen, thanks for having us here today.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40This is Ian and this is Mark.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42They're here to help out today
0:06:42 > 0:06:45and they want to see some cute, fluffy animals.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- Before we do that, I need some help with some pigs.- Pigs?
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- Oh, no.- OK...
0:06:53 > 0:06:56You've got no choice. That's that and that's that.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- You get changed and we'll wait for you over there. OK?- OK.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02'All change!'
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Hello, boys. That was quick.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10I'd like you to meet George who is a miniature, pot-bellied cross.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15- What do you think?- He's quite nice. - He's gorgeous.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Do you want to have a little go?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20How does it feel?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- You don't look too hands-on about it.- I like it.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25I've got some news for you.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28You're not going to look after George. No, no, no.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32You'll deal with some pigs that are a bit more feisty.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Can you handle it?- Yeah.- Yeah. - Shall we do it?- Yeah.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40'Meet Wilf, a Pennywell pig, and Thelma, a miniature kunekune pig.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44'They came here after their owners struggled to look after them.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49'And this is Matilda, a not so miniature kunekune.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52'Matilda may have lost her eyesight, but not her appetite.'
0:07:52 > 0:07:55She was left in someone's garden
0:07:55 > 0:07:58when their house flooded and they moved out.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02She was on her own for long periods of time and only fed once a week
0:08:02 > 0:08:06and would eat the entire amount in one sitting, so she got very big.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Does that make you a bit scared to see the size of Matilda?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14A bit. We're scared, yeah.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- My nose is very...- Tingling. - Um, nervous.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Your nose is nervous? Ladies and gentlemen, he's got a nervous nose.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24It's awful when you get that.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31'A big pig like old girl Matilda makes an awful lot of poo.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35'Right now, I need two volunteers to get busy picking it up. Good lads!'
0:08:38 > 0:08:43- There we go.- 'They have a reputation for being dirty and smelly,
0:08:43 > 0:08:45'but pigs are cleaner than dogs.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50'Matilda wouldn't dream of pooing in areas where she eats and sleeps.'
0:08:50 > 0:08:55I'm going to go in Matilda's house and see if there's any in there.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58No poo in here whatsoever!
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Well done. That's a really good job. Empty your poo into the wheelbarrow.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08'Perfect poo-picking. Well done, chaps!
0:09:09 > 0:09:14'And later, it's a shower for a sow as the boys make Matilda cool.'
0:09:14 > 0:09:18She's really chilling out now. She's really loving it.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24'Chanda and Janet are at a marine sanctuary in North Yorkshire.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28'They are helping move two grey seals, Lily and Dusty,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30'to the main seal enclosure.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33'We are struggling to tempt them out of the water.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36'The solution? Lose the water.'
0:09:37 > 0:09:41OK, girls, you can see that the pool's empty now.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46It will be much easier to catch these seals, so we'll give it a go.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50'They might be pups, but Lily and Dusty are as heavy
0:09:50 > 0:09:52'as Janet and Chanda put together.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56'Nervous wild animals this size can be dangerous when cornered,
0:09:56 > 0:10:01'so this is a job for the experts. Lindsay has called in extra help.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05'This move needs to be done quickly, so we don't stress out the seals.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09'And within seconds, Dusty is soon in her new home.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14'And straight away, a new housemate comes over to say hello.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18'Lily's next.'
0:10:19 > 0:10:21She's heavy!
0:10:21 > 0:10:25'She doesn't waste any time introducing herself to her new pals.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28'Good team effort, everyone.'
0:10:28 > 0:10:31When I met the seals, I was quite happy
0:10:31 > 0:10:34because I don't know that much about them.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38I was looking forward to learning more about them.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42When I first saw the seals, I was kind of scared
0:10:42 > 0:10:45because they looked massive,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47but when I met Dusty and Lily,
0:10:47 > 0:10:51I didn't really feel as scared as I felt before.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56'And later, Chanda and Janet
0:10:56 > 0:11:00'are called to help noisy hospital patients.'
0:11:00 > 0:11:02He's got quite a big growl, hasn't he?
0:11:03 > 0:11:07'Back in Dorset, Mark and Ian, who are iffy about pigs,
0:11:07 > 0:11:11'are about to make friends with Matilda, a massive kunekune.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13'How are you feeling, lads?'
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- I'm really excited.- I'm not.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21Remember, she's blind, but she's got a very good sense of smell,
0:11:21 > 0:11:23so she'll smell that we're near.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Hi there. Come and say hello. - Hello.- Hello, Matilda.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- She's eating the stinging nettles. - She loves grass.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33People don't realise pigs eat a lot of grass.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Can you hear that low, grunting noise? That's her saying "hello".
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Hello!
0:11:39 > 0:11:42'With the introductions out of the way,
0:11:42 > 0:11:45'it's time for the boys to fill up her wallow.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50'It might just look like a muddy bog, but to Matilda,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52'it's so much more than that.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56'Pigs can't sweat like us, so to cool themselves down,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59'they'll roll around in a wallow just like this one.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05She's really chilling out now. She's really loving it.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09'Now she's all nice and cool, it's time for lunch for our piggy pal.'
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Yum, yum, yum! - She really is enjoying that.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15'Steady on there, Matilda. It's not a race.'
0:12:15 > 0:12:20- She's almost finished already.- Would you say that she's eating like a pig
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Yes, piggy eater!
0:12:22 > 0:12:26'Mark started the day thinking pigs were only good for making sausages.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- 'What's your verdict now, Mark?' - They don't smell.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33And now I just think pigs are really nice.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37'And later, the boys go goat-wrangling.'
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Ohh! LAUGHTER
0:12:41 > 0:12:46'But first, Dom gets within spitting distance of a llama.'
0:12:46 > 0:12:48It's just not fair.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Look at you in your lovely, smart shirt with a collar.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- I'm in a tatty T-shirt!- Today's job couldn't be more perfectly timed.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00This is Lancelot the llama and you'll have to groom him,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03make his coat look nice and dandy,
0:13:03 > 0:13:07look for signs of lice, infections and wounds hiding in his fur.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12Like a llama health check? Great. How will that improve my image?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14You've got to use this brush.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Gather big clumps of hair and send them to me over there with Pat.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- A spinning wheel? - How else will I knit you a jumper?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27'Native to South America, llamas are strong
0:13:27 > 0:13:31'and can carry a third of their body weight for long journeys.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35'And just like sheep, their coat makes a lovely, soft wool.'
0:13:36 > 0:13:39What does it mean when they start doing that?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- They're getting ready to spit.- Good.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48- So, Will, why's this so important? - It means we can check for any wounds
0:13:48 > 0:13:52or for any insects, lice, things like that.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- Get on with it! Pat needs more wool. - I'm going as fast as I can!
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Oh.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06Come on, faster! Pat's going to get angry. You don't want to see that.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Here you are, Pat. It's got some leaves in it.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Faster, Pat! Look at that foot!
0:14:19 > 0:14:23'Lancelot is nit-free and I need to get on with some knitting.'
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Hoo! Finished!
0:14:48 > 0:14:50And...you've dyed it, too.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56DANCE MUSIC
0:14:57 > 0:15:01He loves it, he does!
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- So you like it, then? - It's all right.
0:15:11 > 0:15:17'Chanda and Janet are working with sick seals at a marine sanctuary in Scarborough.
0:15:17 > 0:15:23'Next up for the girls is a visit to the seal hospital, an area closed to the public.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30'Two young patients are nearing the end of a long recovery.'
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Whoa! It's a stinker in here!
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- Oof!- So we've got a little boy and a little girl seal.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40These are different to the ones this morning.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43These are common or harbour seals.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47'When they were found, orphaned pup Dan had a huge infected lump
0:15:47 > 0:15:50'and Willow had problems breathing.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54'After six weeks of rest, the pups are ready to leave.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57'Time to be ready for new patients.'
0:15:57 > 0:16:01What I need you girls to do is first of all stick your brushes in.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06The seals will be a little bit grumpy, so just come on this side
0:16:06 > 0:16:11- and sweep that bit down.- 'The young seals are a little unsettled
0:16:11 > 0:16:14'by our close quarters clean-up.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19'But this feisty behaviour is a great sign they're recovering.'
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- Did you expect them to sound like that?- No.- It's more of a growl.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27He's got quite a big growl, hasn't he?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30'With all the muck cleaned up,
0:16:30 > 0:16:34'it's time for their big move to the outside recovery pool.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38'The soft towel over their eyes will keep them calm.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43'The girls will now help keeper Todd steady Willow's flipper
0:16:43 > 0:16:48- 'which has an identity tag fixed on.'- First, we clean it.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52That's all nice and clean and ready. Keep a firm hold of that.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56'And with one clip it's sorted.'
0:16:56 > 0:17:00This doesn't hurt them. It's like having their ears pierced.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03What's the importance of the tag?
0:17:03 > 0:17:08The tag helps us find out if they're doing well in the wild.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12It's a good sign if we see one of these seals in one of the colonies.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16We know it has done really well back out in the wild.
0:17:16 > 0:17:22'After a quick antiseptic spray to prevent infection, Dan's turn.'
0:17:22 > 0:17:24GROWLING
0:17:24 > 0:17:29'It seems the young lad isn't keen on moving house.'
0:17:29 > 0:17:31He nearly had his foot off!
0:17:31 > 0:17:37- 'But the team calms him and he's tagged in no time.'- One, two, three.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Good boy.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- How was it?- I got a little scared when he started moving.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45No wonder when they make that noise!
0:17:45 > 0:17:51'And later it's all hands to the pump as we move the pups outdoors.'
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- There you go, darling. - A nice, new, fresh, clean home!
0:17:58 > 0:18:02'Mark and Ian are grafting at a busy animal rescue centre in Dorset.'
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Come on!
0:18:04 > 0:18:09You did such a fantastic job on the pigs, we've got a reward.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13- We're introducing you to some goats. - Ah.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18I really, really do not like goats. They are so greedy!
0:18:18 > 0:18:23You weren't sure about pigs and we changed your mind,
0:18:23 > 0:18:25so let's do it with goats.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27'Meet Sally and Molly.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31'They came here when their owner got too old to look after them.
0:18:31 > 0:18:37'And this is Holly. She was rescued from a life of neglect and cruelty.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40'They get lots of care now, though,
0:18:40 > 0:18:44'and today they're in line for some tip top hoof help.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50- 'First, our boys need to round them up.'- Come on, Holly.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55- 'Which isn't as easy as you might think.'- Molly. Molly, Molly...
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Right, come round in a circle.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I've got you!
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- Don't let go! - 'Not sure who's leading who here.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14'Time to soothe some hooves.'
0:19:15 > 0:19:20Once every six weeks with a goat, you have to trim their hooves.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25They are constantly growing. In the wild, rocks wear their feet down,
0:19:25 > 0:19:29but here they're on grass and we need to give them a trim.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34If I lift her foot up, can you see? It's not badly overgrown.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39- Just a little bit there.- Is it just like us having our toenails clipped?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Exactly like that. Be very careful because these are very sharp.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49'After some careful trimming, Helen sprays the holes in the hoof
0:19:49 > 0:19:54'with an antibacterial spray so nothing nasty grows in there.'
0:19:57 > 0:20:02- What if they weren't clipped and sprayed?- If we didn't trim them,
0:20:02 > 0:20:06they would grow really long and grow over the foot
0:20:06 > 0:20:09and the goat would hardly be able to walk.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12If we don't get out the bacteria,
0:20:12 > 0:20:16if there are holes in the hoof, they get a really nasty infection.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20They can become very ill and lame. It's very important to do this.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25Will you give me a hand? That one's quite messy.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28That's it. Beautiful.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Do you like goats now?- Yeah.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35- So do I. - They're really cuddly.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38'That's Sally sorted for another six weeks.'
0:20:38 > 0:20:45- Well done, guys. Really good job. - 'They now think goats are great.'
0:20:45 > 0:20:49I'd give goats a 10 out of 10 because they're cuddly and nice.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51I really like them.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55If I'd looked at myself doing that a few days ago,
0:20:55 > 0:20:59I'd go, "That's not me. I wouldn't do a thing like that."
0:20:59 > 0:21:02But actually they're really nice.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06'Later it's inspection time for Rowan the rescued rabbit.'
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- That's a mole. - It's a rabbit. You said earlier.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16'But first we have a ball with a cricket.'
0:21:16 > 0:21:19You really are beautiful, aren't you?
0:21:19 > 0:21:23- You're incredible.- Talking to yourself again?- Yes. I mean no!
0:21:23 > 0:21:28- I'm marvelling at this cricket. - I'm surprised he hasn't flown off.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- His wings are too small.- Useful(!)
0:21:30 > 0:21:35- It sings with them instead. - Ah, right. Bang us out a tune.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37You withered winged wonder.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42No, it rubs them together to create this lovely chirping noise.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Not its legs, like everyone thinks. It uses sound to attract a mate
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- and warn off other males.- But how does he get around if he can't fly?
0:21:50 > 0:21:55No, he uses his very strong back legs to propel him through the air.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00- He's useful to feed to this lizard! - You're not feeding him to that!
0:22:00 > 0:22:03You're feeding him to that one.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13'Janet and Chanda are busy helping to move marine life.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17'Fit and well grey seals Lily and Dusty have left the recovery area
0:22:17 > 0:22:20'and are enjoying the main pool.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25'Meanwhile, seal pups Willow and Dan are set to leave the hospital
0:22:25 > 0:22:29'and are on their way to the vacated recovery area.'
0:22:29 > 0:22:33We have a net each to grab them. We'll have to go quite quick.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Let's do it.- One each, OK?
0:22:36 > 0:22:40- Are we ready, everybody? Go! - 'They're in the nets.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42'Time to move.'
0:22:42 > 0:22:47Go, go, go! Let's go, girls. Clear the path! Seals coming through.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52'We have to go across the public area to their new pool.'
0:22:52 > 0:22:57- The pool's nice and full for them. - 'Young seals are easily stressed.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01'The team has to be gentle, but also needs to work fast.'
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Nice, new, fresh, clean home. 'Result!'
0:23:05 > 0:23:09- There he goes!- Oh, yeah!- Good boy!
0:23:09 > 0:23:15- Yay!- Happy now, aren't they?- Yeah. How long will they stay in here for?
0:23:15 > 0:23:18It depends on these little monkeys,
0:23:18 > 0:23:22if they eat really well and get used to being outside.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27It's normally about three weeks until they go into the big pool.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33'They need to pile on about 5 kilos before they leave this area.'
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Oh, where are you? You're big seals now.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40'Chanda and Janet can really help with some nice oily herring.'
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Lovely fish!
0:23:42 > 0:23:47They might not go for it really quickly. We've stressed them out.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52They'll be a little bit nervous so we'll see how they go.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56'No waiting around here. The pups get stuck in straight away.'
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Oh, good girl, Willow.
0:24:02 > 0:24:08- Oh, he's ripped that one in half! Messy eaters, aren't they?- Yeah.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14'In the wild, seals can dive down to an amazing 500 metres for food.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18'Chanda and Janet are giving them some great hunting practice,
0:24:18 > 0:24:22'which will really come in useful when they return to the ocean.'
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Have some of that!
0:24:27 > 0:24:32And that was that. You wanted to see more wild animals. Like the seals?
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- Yeah.- Good stuff. Well, that's the programme all sealed up.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40You two definitely get the Dick and Dom Go Wild seal of approval!
0:24:44 > 0:24:50'Down in Dorset, Mark and Ian are working at an animal rescue centre.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54'And it's time for a treat now for our petless pair.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58- 'Rescued rabbit Rowan needs a once over.' Hello, Claire!- Hello.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03All right? The boys are here to assist, but what with?
0:25:03 > 0:25:08They're going to assist with Rowan. She is a rabbit.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12- A rabbit? Right. - She is going to a new home today.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17And she's going with her brother so we're doing a healthcheck.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- Inside the ears.- An ear each!
0:25:20 > 0:25:24- Check to make sure it's not dirty. - What's this?- That's a mole.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26No, it's a rabbit. You said earlier.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33'Mole, rabbit. Get it? Yeah. Rowan's ears get the all-clear.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38'The boys get busy giving her a full and very thorough examination.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- 'OK, healthy claws.' - That's fine.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46- Nice and fine, aren't they? - 'Check. No lumps or bumps. Check.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50'Nice healthy weight.' 2.97.
0:25:50 > 0:25:55'Check. Strong teeth... Hang on a minute!
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- 'Where's her teeth?'- She had to have her teeth removed.- Oh, why?
0:25:59 > 0:26:04- Purely because they were overgrown. - If she hasn't got many teeth,
0:26:04 > 0:26:06what things does she eat?
0:26:06 > 0:26:11She can eat normal rabbit food, but with grass you have to pick it.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16And put it on the floor. It's hard for her to pull it off.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22'Every year this rescue centre finds new homes for hundreds of animals
0:26:22 > 0:26:27'and every one has a check like this before going to a new owner.'
0:26:27 > 0:26:32- So, lads, do you think Rowan has passed her medical?- Yep, definitely.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36- Claire, second opinion? Passed?- Yes, she has.
0:26:36 > 0:26:42'Our boys have been brilliant and it's a happy ending for the rabbits.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46'New owner Isabella and mum Julia have arrived to take them home.'
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- Hello, new owners.- Hello. - Here are your new rabbits.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Fully checked, nice and healthy. And ready for their new home.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59- Thank you.- 'Good luck! Bye-bye, bunnies. Enjoy your new life.'
0:26:59 > 0:27:03- Well, boys, had a good day today? - Yeah, definitely.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- Helen, how have they coped? - They've been amazing. Brilliant.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12- Good. Which animals were the best? - I liked the pigs and goats.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16When you came here, the last things you wanted were pigs and goats
0:27:16 > 0:27:21- and you ended up loving them. What was there to be scared of?- Nothing.
0:27:21 > 0:27:26- Right, lads. British wildlife? - Amazing!- British animals?- Lovely!
0:27:26 > 0:27:28British kids - happy!
