0:00:02 > 0:00:06ROARING I'm at the perimeter, can you open up, please?
0:00:07 > 0:00:09GROWLING
0:00:09 > 0:00:11- It's here.- It's here?
0:00:11 > 0:00:13GROWLING
0:00:13 > 0:00:16OK, here it comes, here it comes, OK.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19It's arrived, can I have some help unloading, please?
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Careful, boys!
0:00:23 > 0:00:27ROARING
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Hello and welcome to a new series of Roar.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32I'm Rani and something big is about to happen on the park.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35I'm with head of hoofstock, Bob Savill,
0:00:35 > 0:00:37and we're about to open this wild animal crate.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Everyone, please, keep your distance.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Bob, after three, let's do it.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44One, two, three!
0:00:47 > 0:00:49GASPS
0:00:50 > 0:00:51You all right, guys?
0:01:18 > 0:01:22It's big, it's bouncy, it's the new boy in the park.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25It's Johny Pitts! Welcome to Roar, Johny.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Cheers, it's great to be here.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29I can't wait to pet all the cuddly animals and feed them.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32You do realise they're wild animals, don't you? In fact,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35you'll probably need these cos we have got a lot of work to do
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- and a lot of animals to meet. Let's get on with the show.- Oh, man!
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Today on Roar, there's a little baby in great need
0:01:43 > 0:01:47but what will the dogs make of their new house mate?
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Oh, no!
0:01:48 > 0:01:49For his first day on the job,
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Johny's got to get very personal with a real killer.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57It's a mission he'll never forget!
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Eugh! Boy, that stinks!
0:02:01 > 0:02:02BOTH: Yeah!
0:02:02 > 0:02:04And the Roar Rangers are in for a treat
0:02:04 > 0:02:08because animals don't come cuter than this!
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- YAWNING - But first,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17while I help Johny find his way around,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20there's some dramatic news about the De Brazza monkeys.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Three weeks ago, there was a medical emergency
0:02:24 > 0:02:28when a pregnant monkey got into difficulties trying to give birth.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33So, the vet had to do an operation to help get the baby out.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Now, head of primates Simon Jeffery has a challenge on his hands.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42It's a small challenge and he keeps it in a box in the monkey house.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44Oh!
0:02:44 > 0:02:46And here we are!
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Here's our new recruit on the section!
0:02:49 > 0:02:50She's a little De Brazza monkey,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53we've been very successful with them over the years
0:02:53 > 0:02:57but unfortunately, this time, the mum had to have an operation
0:02:57 > 0:03:00because she couldn't pass the baby, so we've had to hand-rear again.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03The mum, Bamboo, has recovered from that operation
0:03:03 > 0:03:05but she won't take her baby back
0:03:05 > 0:03:07because the bond has now been broken.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11She's doing very, very well, she's 22 days old now
0:03:11 > 0:03:16and doing everything a baby monkey should be doing at her age.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19It's a very big responsibility to look after a baby monkey,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22they are quite fragile creatures initially.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26You've got to do make sure that they're clean and healthy,
0:03:26 > 0:03:28drinking enough and putting on weight.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30It's just like having your own normal baby.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Some of the perils of hand-rearing a monkey are that she's weed on me.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37It can happen quite a lot, she can get everywhere.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Come here, you.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43It's very important she gets close to other monkeys,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45especially when it's family, like her sister,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48cos we do want her to go back in with other monkeys in future,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51it's important that she knows she's a monkey, not a human,
0:03:51 > 0:03:53so she sees them more than us in the end,
0:03:53 > 0:03:56we want her to be able to hear them talking,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59make sure that she knows what they look like,
0:03:59 > 0:04:01and hopefully, in a couple of months,
0:04:01 > 0:04:03we'll be able to put her back in with the group.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05It's good that she can be close by all the time
0:04:05 > 0:04:07to be able to see your sister!
0:04:07 > 0:04:09She's very interested in her!
0:04:12 > 0:04:13And when we're not here,
0:04:13 > 0:04:16she has a surrogate mum which is this monkey.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19If you press its heart you can hear that it has a heartbeat!
0:04:19 > 0:04:22So, it's great for her, she can get close to it,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24they like to cling on to mum and be really close
0:04:24 > 0:04:27but it also helps with relaxing, it wants to hear that,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29it might help it sleep.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Simon will be back later to take baby home.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33See you later, monkey!
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Then, we'll see how much chaos a little monkey can cause.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52It's Johny's first day on Roar
0:04:52 > 0:04:55but instead of starting him with something easy,
0:04:55 > 0:04:59we sent him to tackle one of the park's most dangerous animals.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Cleaning your bedroom is something your mum and dad'll ask you to do on a regular basis
0:05:05 > 0:05:08but when cleaning involves a python that's four metres long,
0:05:08 > 0:05:10it becomes a different prospect.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13That's what deputy head of carnivores Ben Warren has to do
0:05:13 > 0:05:15and I've come to help him out.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Ah! Wish me luck.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- Hello, Ben.- All right, Johnny. - How are you?- Not too bad.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23He is absolutely massive, who have we got here?
0:05:23 > 0:05:25This is Chain, our Burmese python.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I've got me gloves!
0:05:27 > 0:05:29They're going to be no use to you at all.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Really?- Yep. You're going to have to put your hand down there,
0:05:32 > 0:05:36feel for the plug at the bottom, in between the large snake
0:05:36 > 0:05:38and drain the pool.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40So, why am I doing this, Ben?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Well, as you can see, he's made a mess of his pool
0:05:42 > 0:05:45and we need to clean it.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47He's massive! He's not going to bite me, is he?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49I'll make sure he doesn't bite you.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50LAUGHTER
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Oh, no!
0:05:51 > 0:05:53I'll look after the head end.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Right, OK.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58The plug is right between his body, right down the bottom of the pond.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01So, get on your hands and knees...
0:06:01 > 0:06:02JOHNY LAUGHS
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Oh, he's huge!
0:06:04 > 0:06:06How often do you do this kind of thing, Ben?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Is he used to this?- Yeah, we do it a couple of times a week.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11He knows what's going on.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14The only thing is, we haven't fed him for a couple of weeks.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15You've got to be kidding!
0:06:15 > 0:06:16You could be the next grub!
0:06:16 > 0:06:19No, don't say that, just tell me you're kidding!
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- I'm not kidding.- You haven't fed him for a while?- Yeah.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26It'll be all right. Go on, get your hand in there.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Go on.- No pressure, then.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Oh, look, this water's filthy!
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Ohhh!
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Right, OK, I'm down.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Oh, there's loads of little bits... What's that?
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Oh, what's that?!
0:06:38 > 0:06:39That's a bit of wee.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40- That's wee?!- Yeah.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43It comes out very gloopy, then dries very quickly.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45It's like a piece of papier-mache, oh.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Ugh! Oh!
0:06:47 > 0:06:49JOHNY LAUGHS Try eating it!
0:06:49 > 0:06:51No way, that stinks!
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Oh!
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Right, so...
0:06:55 > 0:06:56And pull!
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- As hard as you possibly can!- Urrrggh!
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- There you go.- Oh!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Oh! Ugh!
0:07:04 > 0:07:05I've done the hard part,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- so what now?- We're going to have the tap turned on.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Here's the scrubbing brush.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Scrub the whole pool away but stay away from his head.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- Is this more wee that's down here, then?- Yep.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Try and scrub that, it'll be impossible to scrub.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20You've got to get your back right into it.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25It's like kind of lime scale that you find on baths at home.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Ugh. Ben, I've noticed he's in here alone,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31is that what it's like in the wild, are they solo animals?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Yeah, solitary animals until it comes to breeding,
0:07:34 > 0:07:37then they all seem to collect in the same area, which is strange.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39How will they find each other, then?
0:07:39 > 0:07:43That tongue that's coming out, that's their sense of smell.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45They taste the air and it is fantastic.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Well, Ben, I think we've got a bit more work to do in here
0:07:49 > 0:07:52but I'm so glad that this big lad here, Chain,
0:07:52 > 0:07:54hasn't thrown a "his-s-sy fit".
0:07:54 > 0:07:56He's a good lad, in't he?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- You're bad.- Sorry.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Let's get on with it.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Go on then, Chain.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- LAUGHS - Bonkers!
0:08:04 > 0:08:07What do cows roast by campfires?
0:08:07 > 0:08:08I don't know.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Moo-mallows!
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Quack-quack, quack-quack,
0:08:13 > 0:08:15quack-quack-quack-quack-quack!
0:08:17 > 0:08:20What do you call an elephant in the North Pole?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Lost.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Ta-da!
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Raaaar!
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- What do cats eat for breakfast? - I don't know.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Mice crispies!
0:08:32 > 0:08:36LAUGHTER Stop it, you're killing me!
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Last year,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51in order to get a close-up look to check out the gorillas,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53the keepers smeared honey on the glass.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58Now, keeper Chris Hales wants to adapt the idea
0:08:58 > 0:09:00to do a health check on his lions.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02But lions don't go for honey,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05so he'll have to use something else.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Tell me that's red paint.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Erm...
0:09:07 > 0:09:11You can think it's red paint if you want, if that makes you happy
0:09:11 > 0:09:13but for everybody else, no, it's blood.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16That's for you, a nice paintbrush, gives you a bit of a clue.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Basically, what we're going to do is actually paint it on the window here.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24So, you think those beautiful lions over there
0:09:24 > 0:09:28are going to be attracted to this horrible blood on the windows
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- and come up and have a lick? - I'm hoping so.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33They should be more attracted to it than you are.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35ROARING
0:09:35 > 0:09:37They're watching us from over there, spying us.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I think we should get out of here nice and quick, cos I want to see
0:09:40 > 0:09:44if we can see their teeth and their tongues up close and personal.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Think that's done then, let's go.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50OK, now we're letting the family out now.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Who is this approaching?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55There we go.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57This is... Er...
0:09:57 > 0:09:59That's Buni.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Ah, and here's Suliman.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Look at the height of him! - He's having a good old sniff.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Shame we've smeared blood all over the windows
0:10:06 > 0:10:08so we can't see them as clearly as we'd like to!
0:10:08 > 0:10:09THEY LAUGH
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Now, Suliman here's having a good old lick of the glass.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Looking at his tongue, it's pretty thick, isn't it?
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Is it quite rough as well?
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Yeah, it is.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20If you've got a domestic cat at home,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23if they lick you, they've got a very rough tongue,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26so imagine that tongue scaled up to the size of a lion.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27It's really rough
0:10:27 > 0:10:32and it's designed to lick remaining pieces of meat off of the bone
0:10:32 > 0:10:34but also, it's really good for grooming as well.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37That is unbelievable. I'm looking at his paws
0:10:37 > 0:10:39and I'm trying to put me hands up against them
0:10:39 > 0:10:42cos you can see the size of him, he's unbelievable!
0:10:42 > 0:10:43He's so impressive!
0:10:43 > 0:10:45GROWLING
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Those teeth.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48They are unbelievable
0:10:48 > 0:10:50and especially being this close.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Cos they're really thick, aren't they, the canines?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- Mm-hmm. - They're not little spiky things.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57No. Obviously, the canines there,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00they are designed solely for gripping hold of their prey.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04When they're chasing their prey, they'll jump on their back and grip hold,
0:11:04 > 0:11:08because them teeth will slice straight down into the flesh.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Once they get a hold, it's not going to get away.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13I think his tongue is actually bigger than my hand.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15I'm just looking at it.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Look at this...
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Whoa-hoa-hoa-hoa!
0:11:17 > 0:11:18He didn't like me doing that.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19I've got to say, Chris,
0:11:19 > 0:11:23even from this side of the glass, he's pretty terrifying.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25but I have to admit, his teeth look fine to me.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27They look beautiful, don't they?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29ROARING AND GROWLING
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Our Roar Rangers today
0:11:40 > 0:11:42are Kelly and William
0:11:42 > 0:11:43from Blackpool.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46BOTH: Aaah!
0:11:46 > 0:11:50They both love animals but, as they're brother and sister,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52they can get a little competitive!
0:11:52 > 0:11:55I am going to be a better Roar Ranger than my brother today.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I'm going to be a better Roar Ranger than my sister today
0:11:58 > 0:12:00because she's not as fast as me
0:12:00 > 0:12:03and I can do more tasks than she can.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05I'm going to be a better Roar Ranger than you!
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- I'm better!- No, I am!
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I think you'll find I am!
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Kelly and William already know how to look after cats -
0:12:13 > 0:12:14small ones, anyway,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17because they've got a couple of those at home
0:12:17 > 0:12:19but most of the animals here are a lot bigger than that
0:12:19 > 0:12:21and much, much wilder.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30"Kelly and William,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33"today you're preparing food for the red pandas... Chop chop!"
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- What are red pandas?- I don't know!
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- It's going to be ace, though, innit? - Yeah!
0:12:37 > 0:12:40This is the red panda.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44But despite the name, they're not related to other pandas at all.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Their closest cousin is actually the racoon.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51They come from the cold mountains of Asia,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54where their thick furry coats not only keep them warm,
0:12:54 > 0:12:56but also make them look ever so cuddly.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02But before Kelly and William can meet the red pandas,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05they've got to help keeper Helen get their food ready.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09We've got some sweet potato, we've got apples, pears,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12there's some grapes and some blueberries.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15There are two red pandas here waiting for their lunch.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Wing Wor is the boy
0:13:16 > 0:13:18and Li Yee is the girl.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23In the wild, they eat bamboo shoots and leaves
0:13:23 > 0:13:24along with fruit and berries,
0:13:24 > 0:13:29but they also eat meat in the form of any small animals they can catch.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34Here at the park, the keepers always try to supply the most natural diet.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Would she actually find mice in the wild like that one?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Yeah, she would eat similar things to that,
0:13:42 > 0:13:46like small mammals, they might catch little birds...
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Would the girl prefer that or the mouse?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Erm, she'd probably take the mouse.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- First?- Definitely. She loves her mouse, it's like chocolate to her.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Now we've got it all prepared,
0:13:56 > 0:13:58you can go in there and give her a feed.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03Here comes Li Yee, she's always the first down for lunch!
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Do they have a good sense of smell?
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Yeah, she'll be able to tell that there's probably a mouse in there,
0:14:10 > 0:14:11she can probably sniff it.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Here she comes, she's coming through the trees and he's just...
0:14:15 > 0:14:18LAUGHTER He's going the long route!
0:14:18 > 0:14:20He always seems to go the long way round.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22In fact, Wing Wor is a little shy.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25So, it's only Li Yee that comes right up close.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27She's straight down already.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30So, if you want to take a piece of fruit...
0:14:30 > 0:14:32The Roar Rangers can feed Li Yee
0:14:32 > 0:14:34only because they're with a trained keeper.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37But if you visit the park, you've got to stick to the rules
0:14:37 > 0:14:39and don't feed the animals.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41She'll take it out of your hand.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Aw!
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Aw!
0:14:46 > 0:14:49That's so good for her to take it out my hand.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Would they ever let us stroke him?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54You can give her just a little stroke.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Just sort of feel, just gently...
0:14:56 > 0:15:00The red panda is incredibly rare.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02They come from a remote region
0:15:02 > 0:15:05beyond the Himalayan mountains and are also a threatened species,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08with only about 2,500 left in the wild.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13I feel really, like, privileged
0:15:13 > 0:15:17- and...happy.- I didn't think I'd ever get this close!
0:15:17 > 0:15:20They leave Wing Wor's food out.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22He'll come down when everyone's gone.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27But now Li Yee's finished hers, she's off, back into the trees.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30For the Roar Rangers, that means their work is done.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35BOTH: We love red pandas, they're amazing!
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Earlier, in the primate section,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48we met the new baby De Brazza monkey.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50He's having to be hand-reared.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Her mum was very sick when she was born,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55so Simon had to take over as a foster parent.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02The baby's over three weeks old and still has feeds of milk all through the night.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05So, every evening, someone's got to look after her.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07BARKING
0:16:07 > 0:16:09And here we are at home.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12What we have here is a little box set up
0:16:12 > 0:16:15for the baby monkey.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16Little one?
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Coming out?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Come on!
0:16:22 > 0:16:24There you go!
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Oh!
0:16:27 > 0:16:28Whoa, come here!
0:16:28 > 0:16:29Oh!
0:16:30 > 0:16:32This is our little baby.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Great to have another monkey in the house,
0:16:35 > 0:16:39I wish we didn't have to hand-rear because you want the mums to do it,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42this one's doing well, it's great to get this close to a baby monkey
0:16:42 > 0:16:45and see how they grow up. I'm going to put you in your box!
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Ooh!
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Oh! There she goes!
0:16:52 > 0:16:55As you can see, she's getting very active nowadays,
0:16:55 > 0:16:56she does like going in her box
0:16:56 > 0:16:59but she also likes coming out and playing on the couches
0:16:59 > 0:17:02As you can see, she's happy to be jumping around,
0:17:02 > 0:17:03left, right and centre.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15A little monkey
0:17:15 > 0:17:17bouncing around the house
0:17:17 > 0:17:20would soon get most dogs barking and jumping around.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24But Simon's basset hounds, Alan and Molly, are the quiet type.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Where's the monkey, Alan? Where's the monkey?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Where's the monkey, Molly?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Generally, they get on quite well with the monkeys.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37They have a tendency to not like
0:17:37 > 0:17:39the monkeys jumping on them.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Oh, yeah!
0:17:41 > 0:17:42I think it all helps.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45It's all education for the monkey to see other animals,
0:17:45 > 0:17:50hence the reason she goes into work and does see other monkeys about,
0:17:50 > 0:17:51which is very important.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Time to mix up the next feed.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03It feels exactly what you'd think a mum would feel like, really.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06You've got to look after your baby constantly,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09you've got to sort out all the milk, make sure it's clean,
0:18:09 > 0:18:11tidy up after it all the time,
0:18:11 > 0:18:12make sure they're all right,
0:18:12 > 0:18:15make sure that they're not getting bullied or anything.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16HE LAUGHS
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Time for food.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Ah, well.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23A parent's work is never done.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28We'll pop back later to see if Simon does bedtime stories too.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35OK, so, why am I dressed in polar clothing
0:18:35 > 0:18:37when it's really hot out here?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39That's cos I've got some cool news for you,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42The Roar Game is back, with new animals, new cheat codes
0:18:42 > 0:18:44and a new enclosure, Ice World.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Want to look after penguins and seals?
0:18:46 > 0:18:51Head over to the Roar Game site, the address of which is below.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53You're also going to need this -
0:18:53 > 0:18:57our first cheat code. Use that to unlock extra features in the game.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02Every day, we'll be giving you new cheat codes to unlock cool new stuff
0:19:02 > 0:19:03and when you play the game,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05you might notice some other surprises.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Happy gaming!
0:19:18 > 0:19:20When you think of rhinos,
0:19:20 > 0:19:22you wouldn't automatically think of the seaside
0:19:22 > 0:19:25but recently, out on the African Experience,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28the rhinos have been paying a bit of interest in the sand out there.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31So, keeper Ciara Walsh has come up with a plan
0:19:31 > 0:19:33to keep them entertained.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34- Hiya, Ciara!- Hi, Rani!
0:19:34 > 0:19:37You've got to explain a little bit more to me.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- Rhinos and sandcastles?!- Well, yeah.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40On the African Experience,
0:19:40 > 0:19:44the two rhinos like to sit on the sand because it's warm to lie on,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47but that's the ostrich's nest, so, we were thinking, "They like sand,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50"why don't we give the one down here a treat
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- "and build some sandcastles?" - I am liking your style!
0:19:52 > 0:19:55You say the one down here, who are these sandcastles for?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57This is for Ruaha, one of our females.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- She's just over there. - She's in her bedroom now.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02And she's away from us so we're nice and safe.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04You've done a fantastic job.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Now, normally when I build a sandcastle on the beach,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10I stick a flag in it. Why have you got apples and carrots?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13In case she doesn't come over, we've got some treats,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15so that hopefully she'll come over and eat the apple
0:20:15 > 0:20:19then hopefully, she might have a fun game with the sandcastles.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Right then, Ciara, our sandcastles are in place,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24we're outside which is nice and safe
0:20:24 > 0:20:25but Ruaha - where is she?
0:20:25 > 0:20:27She's just coming. Ruaha, come on!
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Does she come when you call?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Yeah, she knows the sound of our voices.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37Now, we've placed the carrots and apples on top of the sand,
0:20:37 > 0:20:41is that going to be quite... Well, how can I say, unappetising for her?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Cos no-one likes sand in their butties.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44That's the thing with her lips,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47she can probably twist it round the carrot...
0:20:47 > 0:20:50She's sniffing the sand but she should eventually...
0:20:50 > 0:20:52RUAHA GRUNTS BOTH: Ooh!
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Knocking a bit of the sand over!
0:20:54 > 0:20:56She's just testing it to see how hard it is.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00I can't see how a sandcastle would be too tough for a rhino, though.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- No, not with that horn. - Look at her, pushing it away!
0:21:04 > 0:21:06It's all up her nostrils.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Now, we talked about the rhinos out in the African Experience
0:21:09 > 0:21:11who loved sitting on the sand,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13what's the appeal for them?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16I think it's just because the sand gets quite warm in the sunshine.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20So, rather than laying on the grass, where it might be wet and dewy,
0:21:20 > 0:21:23they'll sit on the warm sand, it's a nice bed for them. See those two?
0:21:23 > 0:21:27They're quite happy sitting in the sand where it's warm.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28They'll sunbathe there all morning.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32There she goes, eating an apple off the top. Good girl, Ruves!
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- She seems to be really enjoying pushing the sand, doesn't she?- Yeah.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40It looks like Ruaha's enjoyed us bringing the beach to her, d'you agree?
0:21:40 > 0:21:41She's definitely enjoyed it.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I'm going to give her this apple,
0:21:43 > 0:21:46cos this is the only thing without sand on it, thank you!
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Here you go, Ruaha.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Aw!
0:21:57 > 0:21:59DOG BARKS
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Back at Simon's, baby is refusing to drink her bedtime milk.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Sometimes she'll drink 20-30 mls
0:22:07 > 0:22:10and other times she'll drink 60 mls, which is quite big for her.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Do you want some more?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15You can see, she's just not interested at the moment.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18You can tell when she doesn't want to drink any more
0:22:18 > 0:22:20and gets distracted easily and wants to explore
0:22:20 > 0:22:23and you're trying to get the food down her.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27More interested in her surroundings than she is in eating.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28(MIMICS MONKEY) Mew!
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Mew!
0:22:30 > 0:22:32MONKEY GRUNTS
0:22:32 > 0:22:35What that little noise is, "Mew," it's like a question mark, you know.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37"Oh," a curiosity sound,
0:22:37 > 0:22:39"What's that?" or possibly unsure.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41You've got to keep an eye on them,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44you can reassure them with doing the same noises.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49You don't want them learning your language, you've got to learn theirs, what their little noises mean.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54And the other problem is, being that she's a monkey,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56it's not like we can put nappies on her,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58so there's a lot of mess involved
0:22:58 > 0:23:01and you've got to be careful of your furniture and clothes,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03she does have a tendency to wee on me a lot.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06She'll be wandering on the couch and might want to go for a poo,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08so unfortunately, you've got to be there
0:23:08 > 0:23:10with tissues and paper all the time.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Gross! Monkey poo on the sofa!
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Talk about dedication to duty.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21So, that's feed number five out of seven feeds for today,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23she hasn't drunk that much, just over half.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24Do you want any more?
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Oh, you are.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31It is great that you do get a chance to get this close
0:23:31 > 0:23:33and you can bond with them and it's good fun.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36It's good fun having a monkey in the house!
0:23:37 > 0:23:40I think it's time to tuck her up into bed,
0:23:40 > 0:23:41I think she's looking tired
0:23:41 > 0:23:45and I'll have to wait for the next three hours until her next feed.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Eh? Are you going to put yourself to bed or am I going to put you to bed?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Are you going to put yourself to bed? Go on, then.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57In a few weeks, Baby should go back to live with her real family.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00That's going to be difficult for everyone
0:24:00 > 0:24:02And we'll be there to see what happens.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Right! And that'll be her for the next couple of hours, now.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Until our next feed.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Night-night, monkey.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31So, Johny, you're coming to the end of your first episode of Roar.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32How's it been for you?
0:24:32 > 0:24:37You know what, it's been an absolutely wicked experience. I've learnt so much.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40But I have to say, cleaning out that 14-foot python,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43that was a horrible experience, honestly.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45My hands stink of python poo.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Oh well, Johny, it comes with the territory but you know what?
0:24:49 > 0:24:52It's not all about poo and mucking out and scary jobs,
0:24:52 > 0:24:55that's why I've brought you to the black-and-white colobus enclosure
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- and to meet keeper Matt Crittenden, hi, Matt!- Hi.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01We thought this would be a treat for Johny.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Hiya, Matt, you all right? These guys are crazy!
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Before we go any further, Matt,
0:25:05 > 0:25:08are these dangerous at all, do I have to be wary of them,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10will they attack me?
0:25:10 > 0:25:11They won't attack you, no.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- But they could bite, if you upset them.- Really?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16They're generally well-behaved.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19I think we shouldn't upset them and you should hand us some nuts
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- and we can give them them as well, is that a good idea?- Yeah, fine.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24Keep 'em happy with nuts.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Will they take it out my hand?- Yeah.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29You've got no choice, he's running away with it!
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Do you always give them nuts, do you feed them quite often?
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Yeah, they have a scatter once a day to keep them occupied.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Do you guys get this close to them day in, day out?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Do you always go in the enclosure?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42We come in here in the open-top.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45There's some monkeys we can't have this close a contact with
0:25:45 > 0:25:47cos obviously they don't like us that much!
0:25:47 > 0:25:51But these ones are quite friendly, so we get to come in.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Look, there's a little baby here!
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- How old's the little baby? - The baby's about six weeks old.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58It's still all white!
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Is she quite a good mum?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Apart from its eyes, it's got black eyes. They're all very good mums.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06The rest of the family will help to look after them.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Can I just say, that is the cutest thing I have ever seen.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Oh, hang on! I'll tell you what isn't the cutest thing!
0:26:12 > 0:26:16You aren't going to be able to see this but you can smell it, maybe...
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Where is that smell coming from?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19These are leaf-eating monkeys
0:26:19 > 0:26:22and unfortunately they do tend to make a lot of wind.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23- Oh, no!- Yes.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Can we say they're leaf-and-peanut-eating monkeys, please?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29This is getting pretty crazy out here
0:26:29 > 0:26:32so we'd better finish. Have you had a good time?
0:26:32 > 0:26:35I've had an absolutely amazing time but I am a bit concerned
