-Hello and welcome to Gwdihw,

-with me, Megan.

-Do you know anything about animals?

-If you don't, you will.

-Stay with us, relax...

-..and get ready to see animals

-from Wales and around the world...

-..on Gwdihw!

-Today, we visit

-Nel and Gwenlli's snake...

-..we're down on the farm...

-..but first, let's join Peredur.

-He's with the vet

-who has an unusual animal.

-I'm Peredur.

-I'm visiting Lowri the vet.

-Lowri looks after animals.

-She makes sure

-they're healthy and happy.

-Today,

-we're visiting llamas on a farm.

-What are we doing today, Lowri?

-We're vaccinating the llamas...

-..to keep them healthy and prevent

-them catching any diseases.

-How old are these llamas?

-How old are these llamas?

-

-These llamas are 11.

-They can live until they're 30.

-Do they talk to each other?

-Do they talk to each other?

-

-They do sometimes.

-If they feel threatened,

-they make a warning sound.

-They hum when they're worried.

-Llamas look like camels.

-Did you know they were related?

-They are similar but a camel

-has a hump on its back...

-..either one or two humps.

-Where do llamas comes from?

-Peru, in South America.

-Is it easy to look after llamas?

-It's just like looking after

-farm animals. They eat everything.

-They only need a little water.

-Have you watched them eating?

-Their mouths go from side to side.

-That's because they eat hay.

-Let's start our work.

-How often do you do this?

-Twice a year.

-Does it hurt?

-Does it hurt?

-

-No, it feels like a little scratch.

-Right, we're done. Ready?

-It's great being allowed so close

-to llamas.

-They'll be fine

-after their vaccination.

-Now then, have you met Tref the dog?

-Every week on Gwdihw, Tref will

-tell us silly and sensible facts...

-..about animals.

-I wonder what he has to say today?

-Tref's Three

-Hello, I'm Tref.

-I'm an animal expert.

-Today, I'll name three creatures

-that begin with the letter R.

-First - R for robin redbreast.

-# Red robin on the doorstep

-# Asking for a little something,

-without a single penny

-# And he said... #

-Hush!

-It's a bird with a red breast.

-That's why it's called

-robin redbreast.

-It eats fruit and spiders.

-Secondly, R for raccoon.

-Racoo-oo-oo-oon.

-Raccoons live in Canada,

-USA and South America.

-Its favourite food

-is fruit and animals.

-It's a nocturnal creature -

-it comes out at night.

-Racoo-oo-oo-oon.

-Thirdly, R... R...

-I can't think of another animal

-that begins with R.

-Rh. Yes, Rh.

-Rh for rhinoceros.

-Rhinos are heavy. They have

-a strong horn on their noses.

-If it breaks, another will grow.

-Imagine!

-You break your leg

-and a new one grows.

-Hey, what do you call a rhino

-in a wardrobe?

-Stuck!

-Geddit? It's stuck!

-It's so big.

-Thanks, Tref.

-Are you ready for a quiz?

-Which animal makes this sound?

-A zebra?

-A bear?

-A puffin?

-Do you want to hear it again?

-Do you know the answer?

-Yes, a zebra.

-A zebra makes this sound.

-My animal.

-I'm Nel. Here's my twin, Gwenlli.

-We have a snake.

-We love Dafydd Wyn.

-Here's Dafydd Wyn.

-Dafydd eats once a week.

-He eats frozen mice.

-Dafydd is 15 years old.

-He's older than us two.

-He'll live until he's 30

-or even older.

-To look after him,

-he needs water and fresh hay.

-Inside the tank,

-he sleeps in an old shoe box...

-..with a door and two windows.

-He sheds his skin

-once every two months.

-He sheds his skin if he gets caught

-on a piece of wood...

-..and slithers out of his skin.

-The old skin looks like bubble wrap.

-Dafydd Wyn is an adder.

-He only bites when he's threatened.

-In Welsh, he's called a neidr gorn

-because of his yellow belly.

-He's usually orange

-or dark yellow with marks.

-He has a piano key pattern

-underneath.

-He once escaped from the tank

-and was found in Dad's toolbox.

-Nel and Gwenlli, you're brave.

-I couldn't keep a snake at home.

-Did you know that owls sleep during

-the day and are awake at night?

-An owl can turn its head

-to look behind it.

-Do you know why?

-Its eyes don't move.

-The smallest owl is about this tall.

-12cms.

-The largest owl can be this size...

-..80cms.

-An owl is great at hiding.

-It's great at hiding in trees.

-The colour of its feathers

-is the same as its surroundings.

-That's why it's so difficult

-to find one.

-It's time to visit the farm.

-I wonder what's happening there?

-I'm Mali and I like singing

-and helping on the farm.

-Here are my sisters.

-Elin. Awen. Gwen.

-Here are Dad and Mam.

-We're the Ellis family.

-We're looking after the cattle

-and calves.

-Here's the machine we use

-to feed milk to the calves.

-Every calf has two litres

-in the morning and afternoon.

-We pour the milk into this.

-They suck the teats

-to release the milk.

-These calves are five weeks old.

-We've fed them milk

-since they were born.

-Do you need more hay?

-Do you need more hay?

-

-Yes.

-Watch out!

-We weigh the calves once a month

-to make sure they're healthy.

-I'm recording the weight

-of every calf.

-This calf weighs 88kgs.

-These calves are three months old.

-They're ready to go out.

-They're old enough to eat grass.

-They've never been in a field

-and they're very excited.

-That's why they jump around.

-Do you know what Dad uses

-to wash cattle?

-How am I meant to know?

-Shamp-moooo!

-What is this?

-Yes, a cow.

-I'm here with Jano and Dafi.

-How are you both?

-OK, thanks.

-What do you want to see today?

-What do you want to see today?

-

-A giraffe. It's so tall.

-Let's go. Off we go.

-They are tall. These are

-the tallest mammals in the world.

-Their necks are so long.

-Can you see these spots?

-Every giraffe

-has a different pattern...

-..to allow them to hide

-in the trees.

-They spend most of their day on

-their feet and sleep on their feet.

-Where do they live?

-Where do they live?

-

-Africa.

-What do they eat?

-Trees and plants.

-In Folly Farm, they also feed them

-cabbage and onion.

-Do you like onions?

-Do you like onions?

-

-Yes.

-Do you? No! Nor me.

-Come here. There you go.

-What can you see?

-Look at its tongue.

-It can pick its nose

-using its tongue.

-Can you do that?

-Dafi can.

-That's all for today.

-Did you enjoy feeding the giraffe?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-

-It was a lot of fun.
