0:00:02 > 0:00:05Stand by to meet the mighty log-cam.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07The wild dhole pups are nearly old enough
0:00:07 > 0:00:09to come outside for the first time.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12But will our camera, hidden in a log,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15capture their first adventure live on tape?
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Hello and welcome to Roar. I'm Johny.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Did you know that an ostrich brain
0:00:47 > 0:00:50is roughly the same size as a golf ball?
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Ah... Fore!
0:00:53 > 0:00:57I'm Rani, and Johny - that was rubbish.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Did you know that our brain is roughly the same size
0:01:00 > 0:01:04as this lettuce, which is eight times bigger than a golf ball?
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Doesn't make us any good at golf though, does it?
0:01:07 > 0:01:09I'll have you know I'm very good at golf.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11But we've got no time for sports -
0:01:11 > 0:01:15we've got a show to be getting on with. Let's get cracking.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20The tigers have plenty to say for themselves
0:01:20 > 0:01:24but can you chat wit them? Our Roar Ranger seems to think so.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29- Ugh!- We mix up the elephant's diet a bit by serving them jelly,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32but what will they make of it?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35And I meet the cutest thing in the world -
0:01:35 > 0:01:38a baby De Brazza's monkey, who's just three days old.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49Six weeks ago, four beautiful dhole puppies were born here.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51But they haven't come out of their shed yet
0:01:51 > 0:01:54and the adult dholes are being very protective.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57So they keepers want to find a way to check
0:01:57 > 0:02:01the pups are developing properly without upsetting the pack and
0:02:01 > 0:02:03interfering with their natural behaviour.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08In the wild, dholes, which are also known as Asiatic wild dogs,
0:02:08 > 0:02:12roam across large parts of India, China and south-east Asia.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15But they're thriving here in Kent, too.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19The four new puppies bring the total pack number up to 19,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22and Ben's trying to keep an eye on them.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Occasionally we get to see them in the shed.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Every now and then we'll have a quick look to make sure they're OK.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31But, uh, yeah, we don't really get to see them that much at all.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36I assume they're coming out at night time, when it's most quiet and
0:02:36 > 0:02:39they feel most safe. Obviously we haven't got the public in
0:02:39 > 0:02:41at that time of the day and we're not around,
0:02:41 > 0:02:45so there's no one round to bother them and they just get on with it.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50We usually don't get to see their first steps. Today we have log-cam.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Carved from a tree, welded together from sheet metal,
0:02:57 > 0:03:01and finished with thick Perspex to protect the hidden camera.
0:03:01 > 0:03:06Log-cam can go where no cameraman would dare to tread.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Last year, it braved the tigers in their lair
0:03:09 > 0:03:11and got us some interesting shots.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Despite a mauling, log-cam survived
0:03:13 > 0:03:16and now Ben's putting it to a new challenge -
0:03:16 > 0:03:19to video the pups emerging from their den.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21We haven't seen them coming out,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24so we could capture their first steps on this camera.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28If it comes off, Ben will get unique shots of the pups.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Once the log's in place and we get right out of the way,
0:03:32 > 0:03:36we might get good stuff, but they have to know we're out of the way.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38They have to hear us leaving, basically.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I'm going to place it in it's metal box now and make it dhole proof.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Log-cam's in place now.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53It's getting towards the end of the day now,
0:03:53 > 0:03:54so it's starting to quieten down.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58The publics starting to leave the park, so if we get out of the way,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00we should get some shots.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Will Ben succeed? We'll come back later to find out
0:04:04 > 0:04:06what the hidden camera has recorded.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22In the wild, animals come across new and interesting tastes and smells
0:04:22 > 0:04:25every day of their lives. The keepers like to make sure
0:04:25 > 0:04:26that happens here, too,
0:04:26 > 0:04:29and some of the ideas they come up with are really fun.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Mmm! Jelly is may favourite party food and I'm sure you're the same.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41When I heard that elephant keeper Tom King
0:04:41 > 0:04:45was going to put jelly in the belly of an elly, I just had to come down
0:04:45 > 0:04:47and see what's going on. What's the big idea, Tom?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Hi, Johny. - How you doing? You all right?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- Not too bad. Nice hat.- Thank you.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Today, we're going to give some jelly to our ellys,
0:04:55 > 0:04:59because it's got flavour, it's got small, but more importantly,
0:04:59 > 0:05:01it's got this jelly texture
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Now obviously, most jellies have a lot of sugar in them.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- That's not good for their teeth. - Most definitely.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Anything that's packed with sugar is not good for your teeth.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- However, this is sugar-free jelly. - Genius.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16We're not too sure what the elephants are going to do
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- when they come up to see this jelly. - Where are the elephants now?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21They're in the other paddock,
0:05:21 > 0:05:24really busting at the gate and wanting to get to their jelly.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Right, OK. So shall we release the jelly?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- Let the jelly go.- OK. Let's do it.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34As well as lemon and lime, the ellys are also getting the choice of
0:05:34 > 0:05:38raspberry, and my favourite, which is orange.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42But the blackcurrant looks rather good too.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Who's this who's come out first? - This is Jums.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49He's our bull elephant.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51OK. And he is generally the leader?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Well, he's the biggest and in elephant structure, that matters.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- Size matters.- Right. OK.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Is he the only male, or at least the only adult make?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01He's the only adult male in this group.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04You can't keep two big bulls together in the same group.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Oh, look at this - we've got the first one. That's blackcurrant.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- That's Justa.- Justa looks like she's really enjoying it.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20So, talk to me about the pick-up technique.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22How are they picking this jelly up?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Every elephant seems to have a slightly different technique.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29There's a little bit of a grab. I think what's happened is
0:06:29 > 0:06:32that some of the jelly is small enough,
0:06:32 > 0:06:37they can actually pick it up in their prehensile tips, which is good.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Some of them are trying to scoop, because a lot of elephants,
0:06:40 > 0:06:41they tend to scoop round
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- and then pick it up and put it into their...- Like a spoon?- Yeah.- OK.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49But I think they technique that's working best is
0:06:49 > 0:06:52the suck technique, when they actually put their trunk in
0:06:52 > 0:06:53and then they have a big snort
0:06:53 > 0:06:57up their trunk and pop it in their mouth. Just like drinking water.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Tom, I see Janu's going for the blackcurrant one,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05but it looks like she's backing off a little bit...
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Who's this who's coming over?
0:07:07 > 0:07:11That's Shibi who's coming over now and Shibi is our number two.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14She's one below Massa, the matriarch. She's very high standing.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16SHE SQUIRTS FROM HER TRUNK
0:07:16 > 0:07:19She's not enjoying that! She just spat some out!
0:07:19 > 0:07:22No. Part of the problem is we've got a lot of leaves in the paddock.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25That's what happens when you get leaves in your jelly and
0:07:25 > 0:07:28it goes up your nose. You just spit it out.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Jelly and leaves going up my noise - I'd try and spit it out, to be fair.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Overall, though, I think they've really gone for this jelly.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I think it's been a major success.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Tom, thank you so much. We both put jelly inside the belly of an elly.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43THEY LAUGH
0:07:53 > 0:07:55We have two Roar Rangers today,
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Kelly and William from Blackpool.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59THEY SCREAM
0:07:59 > 0:08:03They both love animals, but as they're brother and sister,
0:08:03 > 0:08:06they can also be very competitive with each other.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I am going to be a better Roar Ranger than my brother today.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13I'm going to be a better Roar Ranger than my sister today,
0:08:13 > 0:08:17because she's not as fast as me and I can do more tasks than she can.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- I'm going to be a better Roar Ranger than you!- I'm better!- I am!
0:08:21 > 0:08:23I think you'll find I am.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Kelly and William could be working with any of the animals today
0:08:27 > 0:08:30out of all of the hundreds that live in the parks.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32At home, they like nothing more than
0:08:32 > 0:08:35playing with their cute cats, Becks and Daisy,
0:08:35 > 0:08:38and are itching to get going on today's task.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40So, what is it?
0:08:41 > 0:08:47"Kelly and William, today you are tiger keepers. It'll be Grrrreat!"
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Yes!
0:08:51 > 0:08:54They'll be working with Siberian tigers,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57which are the largest of the five surviving species.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01But there are only 400 or so left in the wild,
0:09:01 > 0:09:03so they are very endangered.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06BOTH: Being a tiger keeper's going to be amazing.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Yes!
0:09:10 > 0:09:14The homeland of the Siberian tigers is 3,500 miles away
0:09:14 > 0:09:15in eastern Russia,
0:09:15 > 0:09:20where the temperature can fall to -50 degrees.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24So they need their fur coats. Our Rangers are in a hurry to meet
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Chris Hales, deputy head of big cats.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29High guys, you all right? I'm Chris. How you doing?
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Hi, I'm Kelly.- Hi, Kelly. - And I'm Will.- All right, William.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37The tigers Kelly and William will be working with are a family.
0:09:37 > 0:09:42The dad, Tugar, mum, Ingrid, and one-year-old cubs, Sinda and Bira.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44A group like this is called an ambush,
0:09:44 > 0:09:48because of their ability to sneak up on prey.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52But today, they're just lying in wait for Kelly and William.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Our Rangers are only allowed to get this close
0:09:55 > 0:09:57because they're with a professional keeper.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00OK, obviously you can see we've got...
0:10:00 > 0:10:01THE TIGERS ROAR AND MOAN
0:10:01 > 0:10:05..four noisy tigers in here. Do you know what these noises are?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07These are greetings.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08THE GREETINGS CONTINUE
0:10:08 > 0:10:13- You can make it back to them. - THEY IMITATE THE TIGERS
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Fantastic. They like being talked to.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20THE KIDS AND TIGERS CONTINUE TALKING
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Only a year has passed since the two tiger cubs were born.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Back then, they were a lot cuter and smaller than they are now.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Do you just want to stand up for a second.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35How tall are you? About that tall? OK.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36How tall are you?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- Come on. How tall are you?- OK!
0:10:39 > 0:10:41And she's a one-year-old.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44She's a bit bigger than you guys already, isn't she?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46So I think now that we've done the nice bit,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- are you guys ready to go and do the smelly bit?- Yeah!- Yeah?
0:10:52 > 0:10:57Unlike pet cats, even grown-up tigers sometimes wet their beds.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59But they're pretty pongy anyway
0:10:59 > 0:11:02and it's much worse when their fur gets wet.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08It's been raining, so it's possibly going to be
0:11:08 > 0:11:09a bit wet in their bedroom.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13We'll go in, have a fish through with our hands in the straw and
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- if there's anything wet, it goes in the bins.- Yep.- Let's go.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Ah, yeah! They've definitely been laying in here.
0:11:19 > 0:11:25- It's time for our Rangers to take a deep breath.- It smells horrible.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32I need air, cos it smells in here!
0:11:32 > 0:11:34They're finding a lot of wet straw in there.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38You need to stand on the bin, right, and jump up and down.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- OK! Loads more room. - THEY LAUGH
0:11:41 > 0:11:46But now, all that wet straw needs to be replaced with nice dry stuff.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- I'm the one going backwards! - OK, guys.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52- Argh!- Ha-ha!
0:11:52 > 0:11:55So what you need to do is take yourself a chunk and
0:11:55 > 0:11:56just do that with it.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05How's that? Would you guys sleep on that? What do you think?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Yeah. It's quite comfy!
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- It's really comfy, isn't it? - I'm having a nap now. Goodbye!
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Well, it does need to be comfortable,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17because tigers sleep for up to 18 hours a day.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19But our Rangers need to go and wash their hands
0:12:19 > 0:12:22and we'll come back later when they feed the big cats.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32What did the hungry Dalmatian say after he had his meal?
0:12:32 > 0:12:33I don't know.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- That hit the spot. - THEY LAUGH
0:12:40 > 0:12:43HE ROARS
0:12:43 > 0:12:46What do you get if you cross a dog and a frog?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49A croaker spaniel. Woof woof! Ribbet ribbet!
0:12:49 > 0:12:51HE LAUGHS
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Who did the fish borrow money from?
0:12:58 > 0:12:59I don't know.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00The loan shark.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03THEY MIMIC THE "JAWS" THEME
0:13:03 > 0:13:05THEY LAUGH
0:13:21 > 0:13:23We've got a special treat for you today.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I'm with head keeper Simon Jeffery - but that isn't the treat. No.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29It's because there's a new baby here in the park.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33We're in the open-top enclosure and we can see the little one just here.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34Simon, who is this, please?
0:13:34 > 0:13:38This is Kubinda. She's one of our most successful breeding De Brazza's
0:13:38 > 0:13:40and this is her little baby there.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- This is only literally three days old.- It's unbelievable.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- Quite a different colour to Mum. - Yeah, very bright.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48When they're born, De Brazza's monkeys are very light.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52It's possibly a way of being able to see it and make sure it's all right.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55How's Kubinda doing, and baby? At this moment in time,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Kubinda's just munching away and looks fine to me.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Yeah, she's been doing very well. Her baby's been suckling,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04it's bright and alert. We make sure it's all all right.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Kubinda's doing very well. She is quite an old animal.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Usually they would have a baby every year.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12She only has one every two years at the moment.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- She's getting on now. - That looks so cute!
0:14:15 > 0:14:18It looks like Kubinda's got two tails from the top.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22You can just see little one's tail popping out. And the hands as well!
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Now, little one's clinging on.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Is that just the instant reflex when they come out?
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Yeah. As soon as they baby's born, they know how to grip on and
0:14:31 > 0:14:32this is why they're so strong.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34I saw Mum then jump up onto the logs.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Any chance that baby's going to get knocked, or is Mum very protective?
0:14:38 > 0:14:41She's very aware of where it is. She does know.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44It's not impossible little knocks may happen, but unlikely.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47She's very aware of her baby. She's very experienced.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- How many has she had before? - She's had eight babies.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Very experienced Mummy, then!
0:14:52 > 0:14:55There's many of her daughters around us here.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57This is her daughter, Grub, down here.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59She's got plenty of others as well
0:14:59 > 0:15:02that might come and look after the baby later on.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05She doesn't like to give up the baby until it's a few weeks old.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08So, we're talking about auntying. They'll all pitch in.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Here we've got the colobus. Do they pitch in?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13They would with their own monkeys, but not with the De Brazza's.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16But in their own groups, they're really good at auntying,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19the colobus especially. They'll take the babies constantly.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- Everybody in the group will take them.- Talking about auntying,
0:15:22 > 0:15:26we haven't mentioned someone very important yet. Daddy.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Where is he in all of this?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Well, he's actually here on the floor behind us.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31- This is George.- Hiya, George.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35He's our diabetic monkey. We keep an eye on him.
0:15:35 > 0:15:41The dads don't do a lot. He'll come across and look after...
0:15:41 > 0:15:44If there's a threat to the group, he'll protect the group,
0:15:44 > 0:15:47protect the baby, but he doesn't pick it up or carry it.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49What about these? They're watching.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52They want nuts. Simon has nuts and they're eager to get them.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55And little one? Is little baby healthy?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Do we know if little baby's a girl or a boy after three days?
0:15:58 > 0:16:01We don't know. She keeps it so close to her belly
0:16:01 > 0:16:03that we can't get a look yet.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05As soon as it comes off Mum, we'll see what sex it is.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08It takes a couple of weeks till the babies are off.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Thank you, Simon.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14I'm going to get out of here because these guys want more nuts!
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Back down at the dholes enclosure, Ben's been using a camera in a log
0:16:24 > 0:16:27to try and get pictures of the four young dhole puppies
0:16:27 > 0:16:29when they come out of the shed.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31He wants to make sure they're getting on well
0:16:31 > 0:16:33with the rest of the pack.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38This is the camera that we placed in previously
0:16:38 > 0:16:42to try and get some activity of the dhole pups.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Here's the bit I filmed of me.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54See what else.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59It seems like a lot of activity from the adults.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Guarding the shed and going in and out of the shed.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07They don't seem too fussed by the camera.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09There's one there, just sniffing it now.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Quite curious by it.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Steaming up the lens.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19The hidden camera is something new in the enclosure
0:17:19 > 0:17:22and the adult dogs won't let the pups anywhere near it
0:17:22 > 0:17:25until they've checked it over thoroughly.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29Adults coming out the shed. Guarding the shed.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31No pups yet, though.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34And now one of the adults is trying to eat the hidden camera.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38It's pretty tough, though and, although dholes have sharp teeth,
0:17:38 > 0:17:42it should survive.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45There's clearly something about it that interests them.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49There'll be some weird smells on log-cam.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51I've had to carry it in here.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54It's rubbed up against me so all my smells will be over it.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56It's been carried up on the vehicle
0:17:56 > 0:17:59which carries all the meat and bins from other animals.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03So I'm sure there's a lot of unusual smells on here.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07So, nothing of the pups last night.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Shame. I think we should give it another go and just keep trying.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13The pups are bound to come out some time.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17We'll stick it in a bit further this time.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22And we'll come back later to see if Ben DOES get some pictures.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Have you checked out the new Roar game on the CBBC website?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32We've got loads of new stuff this year,
0:18:32 > 0:18:35including a brand new enclosure called Ice World,
0:18:35 > 0:18:39where you can look after penguins and seals.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41And here's today's cheat code.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44You might want an umbrella, because it's...
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Type it in to give yourself and your animals a treat.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58Earlier on, Kelly and William from Blackpool gave the Siberian tigers
0:18:58 > 0:19:01some nice dry straw to lie on.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04But their work isn't finished yet.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07There's one other thing we need to do today. What do all cats like?
0:19:07 > 0:19:12- Food.- That's right. So, we're actually going to feed them today.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14And tigers love smelly meat.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Believe it or not, this is a small feed.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Imagine all four of these pieces joined together.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24They get one of them each. So it's quite a big piece each.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27In fact, it's not unusual for an adult tiger
0:19:27 > 0:19:31to eat up to 40kg of meat in a day.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34That's the same weight as Kelly or William.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37In the wild they have to hunt for their food.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41So we're going to make it more difficult by hiding this food about.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46I'm going to leave it to you two to find some good hiding places.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- Are you ready for this, then?- Yeah.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Right. Three, two, one, go!
0:19:57 > 0:20:01So, are the Roar Rangers enjoying the job?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04It's a bit gruesome. Makes me feel a bit icky.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08I think I might put it in here.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Shall we head out of the enclosure and let the cats out?
0:20:11 > 0:20:12THEY GROAN
0:20:12 > 0:20:15We don't know what the tigers are actually talking about,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17but they could be demanding dinner.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18I'll open up the slide.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21How long do you think it'll be before they get the food?
0:20:21 > 0:20:27- I think it'll be 30 seconds. - I think it'll be ten seconds.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30OK, well, I think it's going to be seven seconds.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34As soon as I pull that slide open, count. We'll see who's right.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- Are you ready?- Yeah.- Yeah. - Ready to count? OK. Go.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Ten! I was right! I was right!
0:20:51 > 0:20:54He's chasing him!
0:20:54 > 0:20:56You did well. Ten seconds, fantastic.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00That's just about everything that needs doing with the tigers now.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02You can see they're happy with their food.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Thanks for your help today.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09I think I was a better keeper than my brother today.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13I hid the food in the best place because mine got picked up first.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17That's not good. It's supposed to be picked up last.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20You're supposed to hide it. Make them...
0:21:20 > 0:21:22William might have a point there.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25So does Chris think he's better than his sister?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27I can't tell you who's the better keeper
0:21:27 > 0:21:30because they both did fantastically.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33They had their strong points, their weak points,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36but put them both together, superb!
0:21:36 > 0:21:39The tigers always came to me.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42You finished yet?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Back at the dhole enclosure,
0:21:46 > 0:21:50the hidden camera, meant to get shots of puppies leaving the shed,
0:21:50 > 0:21:52may not be needed any more.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Head keeper Jim's heard that a pup's been spotted out in the enclosure
0:21:58 > 0:22:01and has come down to take a look for himself.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06Unfortunately, I can't see any. I can see lots of adults in the grass,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08just their heads sticking up, but no pups.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12But they are quite small so it's a tricky thing with the long grass.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17Sure enough, as soon as Jim arrived, whatever it was disappeared.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22They've heard my voice and decided to leg it in the long grass.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25The chances are, as soon as I walk away, get in my vehicle and drive,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28they'll all come out waving flags and doing triple somersaults
0:22:28 > 0:22:30saying, "Hey, he's gone!"
0:22:30 > 0:22:34But Jim decides to wait quietly, on the off-chance.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41And, eventually, there is a movement in the long grass.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Will Jim get a clear look at it, though?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00They look good.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03There are four pups in the litter,
0:23:03 > 0:23:07but this bold little chap has left his brothers and sisters in the den
0:23:07 > 0:23:11and come out for an adventure in the big wide world.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16It's always good when you have dominant ones within the babies
0:23:16 > 0:23:20because that one then will come through when it's an adult
0:23:20 > 0:23:25and show that it's a born leader. You always get one or two like that.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28There it is! Yep. Very good.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30He's now come out of the long grass
0:23:30 > 0:23:35and is playing happily with some of the family members,
0:23:35 > 0:23:39which is good. It just shows that, with a bit of patience,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42you'll get to see and you'll be rewarded.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Oh, yeah, it's coming over.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46But the adults are watching
0:23:46 > 0:23:50and they won't let the pup get too near to Jim.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53There's several of the pack around him, keeping an eye on him.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Obviously, they know I'm here.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58If they think I'm a threat,
0:23:58 > 0:24:01they'll pick it up and take it back in the shed.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03But, having steered the pup to safety,
0:24:03 > 0:24:06they appear to have something else in mind.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09What it looks like is that Dad and another male
0:24:09 > 0:24:12is trying to coax it out of this enclosure,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15into the bigger enclosure.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- DHOLES SQUEAK - You can hear the squeaks.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18They're communicating.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22And, look, they've pulled it up
0:24:22 > 0:24:25and into the big enclosure now.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29It may look rough, but it's the natural way for pups to be carried.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- And his mother's arrived now. - Mum's taking control here.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37She'll probably go straight to the shed with it.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Ooh, where's she taking it? She's taking it in the bushes.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43She just wants him safely out of sight.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Everything I've observed is all natural behaviour.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50An adult picking up the pup because they think it's in danger,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52and they've whipped it off into the bushes.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56I'm happy with what I've seen. The pup looks in good health
0:24:56 > 0:24:59and the rest of the family are doing their job.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00So, great.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Now this pup's left the shed, hopefully his brothers and sisters
0:25:04 > 0:25:08will soon have the courage to come outside, too.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10That'll make it easier for the keepers
0:25:10 > 0:25:12to check that they're fit and healthy.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16We'll see lots more of them, too, later in the series.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30Do you remember the amazing pictures of a moloch gibbon being born?
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Well she's now out in the main enclosure with her mum, Yoni.
0:25:34 > 0:25:39Head of primates, Simon, who showed us the baby De Brazza monkey,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42has invited us to come down and see her.
0:25:42 > 0:25:48She's doing really well. She's healthy, gripping well.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51This is big news in the moloch gibbon world. Why is that?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53These are a critically endangered animal.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58There's only about 2,000 left. They're on the brink of extinction.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00To have any babies born is just fantastic.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05For us especially. This is the first baby born at Port Lympne, ever.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08You look like a proud dad, a big, massive, beaming smile!
0:26:08 > 0:26:14You have a breeding programme here. What exactly does that mean?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17The idea is that you have a certain amount of animals,
0:26:17 > 0:26:21you want to make sure they're paired up properly so, when you breed,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24you get the right genetics so you can pair up again down the line
0:26:24 > 0:26:25and keep breeding.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29The hope of the future is that you can reintroduce back into the wild
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- when you have enough animals. - Why are they so endangered?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34They come from a very small island in Java,
0:26:34 > 0:26:38one of the most overly-populated places on the planet.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41There's about 120 million people living on Java,
0:26:41 > 0:26:46compared to Britain at 60 million. They're about the same size.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49So there's barely any forest left there -
0:26:49 > 0:26:52less than 10% left than there was originally.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55This means, through deforestation, pet trade,
0:26:55 > 0:26:58these animals are on the brink.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03It's really sad, but there's a great side to it, you have a new baby.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- So cool.- I can see you have nuts and they want them.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Whilst you feed them, we'll say goodbye to you guys
0:27:09 > 0:27:13and say make sure you check out what's on the next episode of Roar.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16We lay on a fruit feast for the coatis
0:27:16 > 0:27:20but are their long, pointy noses or their razor-sharp claws
0:27:20 > 0:27:22most useful for eating?
0:27:22 > 0:27:25The keepers think they understand animal behaviour
0:27:25 > 0:27:28but does Barry know what he's talking about?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31HE GRUNTS
0:27:31 > 0:27:35And capuchins are very clever monkeys
0:27:35 > 0:27:38but is their leader, Brian, going to let them down?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40He's not the most intelligent of capuchins.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42He's sort of contrary to the rule.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Make sure you're watching.
