0:00:02 > 0:00:04Today on Roar,
0:00:04 > 0:00:07the keepers are in training and need all the help they can get,
0:00:07 > 0:00:13because they need to catch the wildest horses in the world.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Hello and welcome to Roar. I'm Rani.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45And I'm Johnny, and this magnificent creature here is the black rhino.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Not only do they look impressive but they can also run
0:00:48 > 0:00:53as fast as a racehorse, and they weigh as much as 12 female lions.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55- And do you know what, Rani?- What?
0:00:55 > 0:00:58They can grow horns as long as 60 cm,
0:00:58 > 0:01:01which is about as long as this. Check that out.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03And that's only the tip of the iceberg of trivia
0:01:03 > 0:01:07that we'll will be giving you on today's show. So let's rock on.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10How do you cool a hot tiger?
0:01:10 > 0:01:15With an ice lolly, of course. But I'd prefer mint choc-chip to meat.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Would you dare to hold one of these? Johnny doesn't.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23See, look, he likes you.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Then we try and mimic a monkey, but it doesn't quite work.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41But first, these stunning animals are called Przewalski's horses.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43And they are truly wild.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50No-one has ever ridden or tamed them.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Originally from Central Asia,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55in the wild they're on the brink of extinction.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Half-a-century ago there were only 30 on the whole planet.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Today, there are 1,500.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15Every six months the keepers trim the hooves of their four wild horses.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18And there's only one man for the job.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Unlike a domestic horse, these haven't got any shoes on.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36If we didn't cut them,
0:02:36 > 0:02:40their toes would just grow like our fingernails, and then split.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Mud and stones would go up the cracks. It'd be very painful.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47They're big horses, they'll be panicked, excitable.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49When they lose the plot, if you're in the way
0:02:49 > 0:02:52they'll flatten you against the fence or jump all over you,
0:02:52 > 0:02:55so we just have to be a bit careful.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58When this tricky task was attempted last year
0:02:58 > 0:03:00it didn't exactly go to plan.
0:03:00 > 0:03:06The keepers got the runaround and it took two days to catch all of them.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08But this year Bob has a plan.
0:03:11 > 0:03:18He has put his boys - Chris, Ben and Simon - into training.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Right, team, it's time to get fit.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I want 100% off of each of you.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26We've got lifting, jumping and carrying. OK? Got it?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28WHISTLE PEEPS
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I don't know why they're complaining. My training's easy.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44So is theirs. Beautiful.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46A few more hours and I'll give you a doughnut.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52It's been a wild workout, but will it be enough
0:03:52 > 0:03:55to catch the wildest horses in the world?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57We will find out later on.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Here I am in the plantation, through the moist succulent leaves,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19that...look good enough to eat. But not for me.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Good enough for the Javan langurs -
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I've popped up here, to meet up with keeper Mel.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- Hiya.- Hello. Are you coming to give me a hand, Rani?- I believe I am.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30What exactly are you doing?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I'm basically stripping the leaves off of this willow tree
0:04:33 > 0:04:37for the Javan langurs, because willow is a big favourite of the langurs.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41But they can't have the whole tree because the bark comes off in strips,
0:04:41 > 0:04:45and that will impact in their stomach and cause problems.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48So we come up here and strip all the leaves off for them,
0:04:48 > 0:04:52put them in his bag, take them back to the park and feed them to them.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Brilliant. Let's just clear something up.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58I said I'm in the plantation, but this is not just some
0:04:58 > 0:05:01random person's park or garden, where are we?
0:05:01 > 0:05:05No, this is our tree plantation, which is feeding all of the animals.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08This is what we use to give browse to all the animals in the park.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12We come up here, cut down some trees or branches,
0:05:12 > 0:05:15or strip the leaves, take it back and feed it out.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17What do I need to do exactly?
0:05:17 > 0:05:22Basically we're just going to pull all the leaves off like that.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23- Ooh!- There we go.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26One has fallen off! Is that bad?
0:05:26 > 0:05:32No. Literally just pull the leaves off like that, pop them in the bag.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34When you start putting them in a big bin bag like this,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36there's not that many there.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40How many Javan langurs are we trying to get enough leaves for?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42How much will we need?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45There's 10 Javan langurs, so I reckon a little bit more in that bag
0:05:45 > 0:05:48and then we will take it back and feed it to them,
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Hopefully they'll show appreciation.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Join us later and hopefully we will be taking this to the Javan langurs,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57and they should be getting themselves a tasty snack.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09It is Ask The Keeper time, and we're about to meet the park's
0:06:09 > 0:06:14creepiest crawleys, and I'm not talking about this gruesome lot.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16No, I'm talking about the hissing cockroaches.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Keeper Chris, they're your favourites, aren't they?
0:06:19 > 0:06:24- One of my favourites, yes. - Look they're there.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26They are massive. I'm not touching one, OK?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Guys, have you got some questions?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Is it true that they can survive a week without their head?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Erm, no.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38They can survive an awful lot, they can go without food for a long time,
0:06:38 > 0:06:42they can be frozen, but like you and me, if we took their heads off,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44that would be the end of it.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- That's straightened that one out. - How long can they live in the wild?
0:06:48 > 0:06:52In the wild they can live for about five years.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53How do they communicate?
0:06:53 > 0:06:58The name of these guys is actually Madagascan hissing cockroach.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01They're called that because they make a nice hissing noise.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- This one was doing it just now. - HISSING
0:07:04 > 0:07:07There we go.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Is he hungry now, do you think?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12He's a bit upset, I'm holding him very still, he's feeling threatened.
0:07:12 > 0:07:18They let out this hissing noise to basically help deter any predators.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- It works quite well on people. - It works well on me.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- Are they poisonous at all, Chris? - Erm...
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Interesting fact - they are not poisonous, OK,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30so you could eat these.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34People do eat them, but they give out a chemical when you eat them
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- which makes your mouth go numb. - Really?- Yes.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39So you can eat them but...
0:07:39 > 0:07:41If you eat lots and lots of them you will have a numb mouth.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I'm definitely never going to eat a cockroach.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49I've been here feeling uncomfortable. You seem to be really chilled out.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Are you not scared by that thing? It's huge!- No.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Would you dare to hold it?
0:07:54 > 0:08:00- Maybe.- Maybe? The easiest thing to do is, put your hand out flat.
0:08:00 > 0:08:06I'll let it walk across your hand and take it back off the other side.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09It might feel slightly sticky. They have tiny little claws
0:08:09 > 0:08:12on the end of their feet which just kind of grip into you,
0:08:12 > 0:08:16but it's not slimy or anything. Ready?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Straight across. You're not allowed to drop it.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27See, he likes you, he's just going to sit there.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31I think he likes you, I think you've got a pet there for life.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32- Do you want to take him home?- No.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- I didn't think so. Round of applause.- Well done.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39He has answered all our questions, I can't think of any more myself.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42So I think it's time for the killer question.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Come on, guys, come in.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49He is doing well so far. But we need something...
0:08:49 > 0:08:51THEY WHISPER
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Come on, guys.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Let's limber up. Get ready for the main question.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Killer question, Chris, are you ready?
0:09:02 > 0:09:08- I am scared now.- You should be. - Yes.- OK, here we go.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11If you put a cockroach at the bottom of a swimming pool,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14how long could it live under water for?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Ooh! Very good question.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19But this depends, does it have a ladder to get back out?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23He's clever!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Erm, no, it doesn't have a ladder to get back out.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30How long would he live? I'm going to say...
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- You've got me. You've got me! - Have a guess.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36I will say, a day.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Yes, we got him on that last one!
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I will tell you that you are actually wrong.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44It could survive for 40 minutes, which is impressive, under water.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Listen, guys, he did not get our killer question right,
0:09:48 > 0:09:50but what do you think he did overall,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- thumbs up or thumbs down?- Thumbs up.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Thumbs up, you did well, we got you on that last one, though.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Yes, result!
0:09:59 > 0:10:01How do you start an insect race?
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- I don't know.- One, two, flea, go.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Roar! Roar! Roar!
0:10:08 > 0:10:09What is a penguin's favourite aunt?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- I don't know.- Aunt-arctica.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Co! Co! Co!
0:10:16 > 0:10:19What d'you call a dinosaur with one eye?
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Don't know.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22D'you-think-he-saur-us?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24SHE LAUGHS UNUSUALLY
0:10:25 > 0:10:28SHE LAUGHS UNUSUALLY
0:10:53 > 0:10:57I'm still with keeper Mel, this time in the Javan langur enclosure.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02you saw us stripping these willow leaves earlier on from the trees.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04And now we're going to put them out.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Shall we just chuck them out on this table here, Rani, and then hopefully
0:11:08 > 0:11:10they should come down?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Now, I'm not seeing any Javan langurs, here, Mel.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17They're all at the top there. Can you hear them?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- LANGURS SQUEAK - Oh, look. They are squeaking away.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23That's them. They are starting to move. That's lots of excited noises.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Is that what it is? - Yes.- Are they hungry?
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Willow is a big, big favourite of the langurs.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Normally when we say a favourite food, we're giving a treat.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35This isn't a treat.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38It's a treat for these guys, this is the best leaf they could get,
0:11:38 > 0:11:42they absolutely love it, as you can hear, she's come straight down.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45The rest of the group are starting to make their way down.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Slightly apprehensive about us being here, shall we back away?
0:11:48 > 0:11:54- Yes, if we back away just a tiny bit. - I'll take the bag, as well.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58So this little lady... I say little lady, is she quite mature?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Yes, she is, she is a mum to one of these youngsters up here.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05We've got two black babies, and we've got a brand new little orange baby
0:12:05 > 0:12:07up the top there. The orange baby is a month old.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11It has got its baby colouring, they are born this bright orange colour.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Eventually they will either change
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- to a darker colour or they will stay the orange colour.- Is there a reason?
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Just like different hair colour. It's as simple as that, that's all it is.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Here comes big man here, he's getting handfuls.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28You say big man but he's more nervous about staying down here.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Yes, he is wary, he's got a handful and he's
0:12:31 > 0:12:33run up the top to eat it in a safe place.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36She is ravenous, she is really going for that!
0:12:36 > 0:12:40She's having her fill of it, she's absolutely loving the leaves.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44The majority of their diet is made up of all different leaves
0:12:44 > 0:12:47that they would find in their native home in Java.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49A small percentage of that is unripe fruit.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Their stomachs are not really made for digesting ripe fruits,
0:12:53 > 0:12:56they have a very complex digestive system, which is made for
0:12:56 > 0:13:00getting as much calories and as much nutrients as they can out of leaves.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02So, apart from full of nutrients,
0:13:02 > 0:13:06is it right that it is filled with something called tannin, as well,
0:13:06 > 0:13:10which is kind of like something we might take for an upset stomach?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Yes. Tannin is a substance which is found in the leaves,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15It has been known to help with upset stomachs.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Monkeys are known for self-medicating in the wild.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21They've an upset stomach or a bit of pain, they'll eat more leaves
0:13:21 > 0:13:23and hopefully that will settle it down a bit.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I'm not hearing any of them going, "thanks very much, guys".
0:13:26 > 0:13:29That was a lot of work, it's quite time-consuming.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34In the winter, when the leaves aren't out, before it gets to that point,
0:13:34 > 0:13:38we have to strip as many bagfuls of leaves as we can, and freeze them,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41so that these guys have got a supply of leaves all winter.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I tell you what, it has been fantastic. But I think...
0:13:44 > 0:13:48this little lady is getting her fur full of leaves. I think we should
0:13:48 > 0:13:51probably get out of here so the others can come down.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Definitely, let's do it.
0:13:52 > 0:13:58- I've got my bag ready, let's go and do some more stripping.- Let's go.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10The hoofstock team are on the move for the toughest task of the year -
0:14:10 > 0:14:13rounding up the wild Przewalski's horses to trim their hooves.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19But this task is no joke.
0:14:19 > 0:14:25Jane the vet needs to give each horse a tranquilliser so they can do it.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28But these animals need a huge dose to make them sleep.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32One of these horses needs about 4ml of a very strong drug,
0:14:32 > 0:14:35mixed with some other drugs, compared to an elephant,
0:14:35 > 0:14:38which would need only a fraction of a ml, 0.6ml or 0.7ml,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40so it shows how strong they are.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44Incredible. These horses are so tough, they need eight times
0:14:44 > 0:14:46the drugs an elephant would.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48No wonder they can't ride them.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54You three, follow them round.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56With such powerful drugs in use
0:14:56 > 0:14:59the team must first heard them into a small paddock
0:14:59 > 0:15:01where Jane can do her bit.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05This is where it all went wrong last year.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Will the training pay off?
0:15:07 > 0:15:13The wild horses are on the run, but in the wrong direction.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18The keepers need to be quick and regain control of the Przewalskis.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22SHOUTING
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Shouting at them seems horrible, but for the wild horses' safety,
0:15:27 > 0:15:30the keepers must get control of them.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33It works and soon the horses are exactly where they want them.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40And they're safely rounded up in record time,
0:15:40 > 0:15:43but what was the secret behind Bob's success?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Well, the training helped. All the jumping, lifting and carrying,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48yeah, that definitely played a part.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Doughnuts helped for me.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Now, in a small paddock,
0:15:53 > 0:15:58Jane's task of giving the horses the tranquilliser is much easier.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- 129, Bob. - The dart's in the perfect place
0:16:07 > 0:16:09and the drug will quickly take effect.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12So that she doesn't injure herself when she falls asleep
0:16:12 > 0:16:15the keepers need to hold her down.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20It's far too dangerous for our crew to film this,
0:16:20 > 0:16:24but you'll get a keeper's eye view as Chris is going to wear keepercam.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38Restraining a Przewalski is a tough job and needs to be done quickly.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47They firmly get the horse to lie down and then a towel
0:16:47 > 0:16:49quickly goes on her head to keep her calm.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53All right, all right.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57The huge clippers make quick work of the overgrown hooves
0:16:57 > 0:16:59and they don't feel a thing.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10This is our first horse.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13The hoofstock keepers are clipping the hooves,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15which is great cos it's very hard work.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17It's going very well and we're nearly done.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24If someone takes this box, Clive and I will get this horse up.
0:17:24 > 0:17:29Jane gives her a drug to wake her up and she's awake.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31That's one down, three more to go.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48That one looks quite nice, don't they, Carl?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Great. Well done.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55When under anaesthetic, animals can overheat which can be dangerous.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58A bucket of water helps lower their body temperature.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Come on. Very nice. Well done.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05That horse was getting very hot
0:18:05 > 0:18:09cos it had run around a bit and then it was sedated, so it was sweating.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Rather than develop any muscle problems, by getting too hot,
0:18:12 > 0:18:13we throw water over them.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Just take a snip off of both those.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25A little bit there and a little bit there.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33Come on. Wake up. Come on.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38Suddenly, there's a problem bringing round the final horse.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Her feet have been clipped and filed.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43The horse is breathing, but won't wake up.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- Wakey, wakey.- Just get up. Come on.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51We'll be back later to see what happens.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00The competition's hotting up to attract the most visitors
0:19:00 > 0:19:03to your own wildlife parks in the Roar online game.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07So type into day's cheat code, drought14,
0:19:07 > 0:19:11and make sure your animals get the food and treats they need.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Happy gaming!
0:19:22 > 0:19:26# And there'll be sun, sun, sun All over our bodies
0:19:26 > 0:19:29# And sun, sun, sun All down our necks
0:19:29 > 0:19:33# And there'll be sun, sun, sun All over our faces
0:19:33 > 0:19:36# And sun, sun, sun.. #
0:19:36 > 0:19:39On a hot day the Siberian tigers like nothing more than
0:19:39 > 0:19:41splashing around, getting wet in the water.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Head of carnivores Jim Vassay has come up with another way
0:19:44 > 0:19:47to keep these cats cool. And here's a clue.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52What?.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57So, Jim, what's this I'm hearing about ice lollies for tigers?
0:19:57 > 0:20:00As you can see, I've put four ice lollies out there
0:20:00 > 0:20:03with bits of meat in there to entice them to play with them.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07It's a bit of fun more than anything, but also in this heat, you know,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10you don't need much for a tiger to go in water cos they love water.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13But this is a bit of fun as well as a bit of enrichment, as well.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Where are the tigers now? - We've got them shut away
0:20:16 > 0:20:19in the little cage so I could put the ice blocks in.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22So if you're ready, will let them go and see what happens.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- I'm ready if you are. - Let's go for it.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- D'you reckon they'll come straight to the ice lollies?- Yeah.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29They've watched me put something out,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32so obviously they're inquisitive now. "What is it?"
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- Who's this, coming first? - This is one of the cubs.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Just like humans, is it the kids that love the ice lollies
0:20:37 > 0:20:39more than the parents?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Yeah. It's the first time they've seen them, a bit of fun.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- We want to try and encourage them, to have a little bit of a swim.- Yes.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Why do they like water so much? What is it, do you think?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Well partly, obviously, during the summer it gets
0:20:52 > 0:20:55extremely hot where they come from,
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- but also they use water to trap their prey.- Right. OK.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00They chase prey into water, it slows them down
0:21:00 > 0:21:03and they can pounce. They're very good swimmers.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06They're looking. They're very interested by it.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08They don't seem to want to get wet just yet.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10It's something new. They're inquisitive.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12I reckon they'll tip one in in a little bit.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- They're having a sniff. - Yeah.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16So is this dad here?
0:21:16 > 0:21:20This is Malchek the father, yeah, and the three cubs.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23The one over the far side of the pond, I've put fish in that -
0:21:23 > 0:21:25something they've never had before.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29Look - dad's found the meat in the middle.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Oh, there he goes.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34And so do think they'll be watching what dad does and then kind of
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- switching on to what's happening? - Yeah.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Would they be able to smell the meat through the ice
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- and through water?- Oh, yeah.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Their sense of smell is amazing.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47There's dad telling one of the cubs off.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Obviously dad wants that water himself.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55He found a piece of meat and eaten that, but there's still a bit left.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- He now wants that last piece.- We've got one cub who's, he's desperately
0:21:59 > 0:22:02wanting to go in the water, but he's just still a little bit...
0:22:02 > 0:22:04You big coward! Look at him, the big coward.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05Dad's knocked one in.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08They're very interested in the water now dad's in there.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- I guess they know it's safe now? - Yeah, that's true, yeah.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14And, of course, they learn from their parents,
0:22:14 > 0:22:17so you know, this is how it's done, you know?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20See the parents do something, they try it and they learn
0:22:20 > 0:22:22and you know, and they remember these things.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Look! Over there. Here we go.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26He's gone in! The first cub's gone in.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41It certainly looks like the tigers are having a laugh in their pool.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- I feel like a bit of a swim myself, but certainly not in there.- Oh.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47I could let you in. HE LAUGHS
0:22:54 > 0:22:57The hoofstock team are having an anxious wait.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01After successfully trimming the hooves of three Przewalski horses,
0:23:01 > 0:23:05they are having a problem waking up the last one.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08What's wrong with you?
0:23:08 > 0:23:13These horses need large amounts of drugs to make them sleep
0:23:13 > 0:23:16and that means it's high-risk.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21But if they don't have their hooves clipped, they would go lame.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Just get up.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Finally, to everyone's relief, she starts to get up.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Bloomin' horse. Go on.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Steady.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Steady.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40Bob's steadies her and she takes her first steps.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Sedating a horse is always a bit of a thing
0:23:42 > 0:23:45and they sometimes can take a little while to get up.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49They're always fine, always breathing Sometimes they just breath hold.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51The job was done quickly and efficiently
0:23:51 > 0:23:54We weren't hurt, the horses weren't hurt.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56That's the main thing at the end of the day.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59So the Przewalskis pedicure is complete
0:23:59 > 0:24:00and Bob's crack team of keeepers
0:24:00 > 0:24:05managed to tame the wildest horses in the world.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Before we go, there's a time to introduce you to the Gelada baboons.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Along with a fancy haircut, these guys also have an unusual
0:24:32 > 0:24:37red a patch of skin on their chest, which helps attract other baboons.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Much like how some baboons have brightly-coloured bottoms.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49One man who knows even more about these guys is their keeper, Liam.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Who have we got here, then?- On the right is our male Gelada baboon.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55This is Agoalo. He's a stunning looking animal
0:24:55 > 0:24:57On the left is his little girlfriend, Jeema.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01You say little, but she's got big teeth. Are we all right so close?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Yeah. It's not normal that we are this close to the mesh,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06but it's OK for now.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09They're focused on the food, so I think it'll be fine.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Food. Some very smelly spring onions.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- Are you going to feed them? Can we join in?- Yeah.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17So what we'll do is we'll just grab as far away from the bulb,
0:25:17 > 0:25:20and then just pass them through the mesh just like that
0:25:20 > 0:25:22- and she'll just grab it. - Johny. One for you.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25This is very cool to be feeding these guys spring onions
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Do you think they'll like them? Do they eat anything else?
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Yeah. It's not a vital part of their diet. Mainly they feed on grasses.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35We also feed them a supplement on hay, as well, in the wintertime.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38You can see their enclosure is pretty much grass.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41We supplement with treats and vegetables.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Spring onions seem to be their favourite.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- BABOON GROWLS - He was growling, or barking at me.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52that's because she thinks you're going to be giving him more food
0:25:52 > 0:25:55than she is and maybe she's being a bit protective over him
0:25:55 > 0:25:57cos They are very much in love.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Ah!- So they look after each other. So that's all that'll be.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Liam, rather like myself, he's got a pretty impressive head of hair.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Is that because where they live in the wild it's cold?
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Yeah. You hit the nail on the head, there.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12They live in Ethiopia in the wild, in the highlands of Ethiopia.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16At night time it gets quite cold. They go up on the sheer rock faces.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Also the males have got to be nice and big, look really strong
0:26:19 > 0:26:22for the competing males, for the females in the wild. But yeah,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- a lot of it is because it is cold. - What about the female?
0:26:25 > 0:26:26She hasn't got such a thick coat.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Does that mean he takes his cape off...
0:26:28 > 0:26:30- THEY GROWL - Listen to them.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- Is she checking his cape? - It looks that way, doesn't it?
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Because there are bonded pair, a lot of grooming is
0:26:36 > 0:26:38an essential part of their social system.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40So they do that throughout the day.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43they seemed pretty relaxed and decided to do it in front of us.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Oh, bless! Well it's fantastic. Johny, come and groom me.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Come on then.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50While I groom Rani, check out what's coming up on the next Roar.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Come on, more, more! Ooh, that's...!
0:26:55 > 0:26:59With a diet of raw meat, how come the lions stay spotlessly clean?
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Surely the keepers don't wash them, do they?
0:27:04 > 0:27:09You've to work hard as a Roar Ranger and it helps if you can aim, too.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11One, two, three.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Oh! We got some of it on.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18And we discover the world's most fearless creature.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21She certainly is not camera shy.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Make sure you're watching.
