0:00:02 > 0:00:06Today on Roar, Johny will be facing his fear...
0:00:06 > 0:00:10when he meets Sophie, the eight-legged fiend.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39- Hello and welcome to Roar. I'm Johny!- And I'm Rani.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42We're out here on the African Experience,
0:00:42 > 0:00:46waiting to lend a hand at the animal-poo clean up!
0:00:46 > 0:00:50There's a hundred tons of poo here, the equivalent of 27 elephants!
0:00:50 > 0:00:54And with 150 acres to cover, the job would take us around five weeks,
0:00:54 > 0:00:58so we need a lean, mean, poo-picking-up machine to help us!
0:00:58 > 0:01:02It takes a massive piece of machinery to do this job!
0:01:02 > 0:01:06- Listen to that engine roar!- It sounds massive!- Here it comes!
0:01:06 > 0:01:11Hang on a minute! Are you having a laugh?! That thing's tiny!
0:01:11 > 0:01:16- It'll take us forever!- That's right, it will take you forever.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20I've got to go and do something! ..Here's what's coming up!
0:01:21 > 0:01:25The vet and her team have got to act fast
0:01:25 > 0:01:28when a tiger needs an operation.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Can the Red River Hogs find their buried treasure?
0:01:32 > 0:01:38And we'll try to discover why these monkeys always look so grumpy!
0:01:51 > 0:01:55I've done quite a few things here at the park,
0:01:55 > 0:01:59but if I'm being completely honest with you, I've avoided one thing.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04So I've come down to the Discovery Zone to meet keeper Rich Barnes
0:02:04 > 0:02:07who's going to help me get acquainted
0:02:07 > 0:02:11with something I've never really liked - an eight-legged fiend!
0:02:11 > 0:02:16- Hello.- How are you doing?- All right. How are you?- It's a tarantula.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I'm good, how are you?
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- It's massive.- I thought we'd start small and work our way up.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- There's bigger?- Yeah.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- Who have we got here, then?- This is Sophie, a Chile Rose spider.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34- Such a gentle name!- Well, if we gave it a name like Fang or Biter,
0:02:34 > 0:02:38then people won't want to hold it!
0:02:38 > 0:02:42We want kids to pick it up and be happy to do so,
0:02:42 > 0:02:47so we try to make it as least scary as possible, really.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- Kids have handled spiders like this before...- Yes. And they're all fine.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Normally, the kids take a couple of seconds to work up to it.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- The adults normally take longer. - Before we do it, just sit beside me
0:03:00 > 0:03:04cos it'll make me feel more comfortable!
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Since being little, I've been scared of spiders,
0:03:08 > 0:03:12and there's not much to be scared of with spiders like this, is there?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Most of our reaction to them is unfounded.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Because it doesn't look like a cuddly dog or a cat, it's a bit different,
0:03:20 > 0:03:24a bit unusual and we're afraid of the unusual.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27It's just a lack of education, really.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32Once we spend a bit of time around them, they don't seem as bad.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37Before I even think about touching "Sophie", is she venomous at all?
0:03:37 > 0:03:42She does have venom, all spiders have a certain amount of venom.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Hers isn't particularly dangerous towards us.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51It's used, mainly, to kill their prey, to subdue it.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Things like small mice, baby birds. - Baby birds?!
0:03:54 > 0:04:00This isn't a large spider so it won't eat many things like small birds.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05- Can you just see the fangs on the underside?- Yeah, I can!
0:04:05 > 0:04:08They're not particularly large,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11but you wouldn't want them sinking into your hand.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16- Shall I give it a go?- Just put your hand out and I'll let her walk on.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20If you don't like it, just say and I'll let her walk straight off.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24The best way to do it to start with is to hold a hand out
0:04:24 > 0:04:28and let her walk across straight onto mine again.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- After that, if you want her back, I'll put her back on your hand.- Oh!
0:04:32 > 0:04:36In your own time. There's no point rushing you to do it
0:04:36 > 0:04:40because you'll be more nervous about it.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44But if you're happy and ready, then we'll let her walk across.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Do you want to just touch her leg? - Yeah.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51She does...feel quite soft, actually.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53You wouldn't say she's cuddly, but...
0:04:53 > 0:04:56she's not that bad.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Go on, then, let's give it a go.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Just a quick one, yeah?
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Once she's walked across, I'll take her back off.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- Wow!- And then...- That is actually not that bad at all!
0:05:09 > 0:05:11She's really gentle.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16She is. She's quite sure-footed as well. Feels a bit like pipe-cleaners.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19It does! Let's have another go.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24It's a bit like a roller coaster. At first, you don't want to go on it...
0:05:24 > 0:05:28- And then you want to go on it again and again!- Yeah! Wow!
0:05:28 > 0:05:34- She's so gentle.- Anyone that's held it that's been worried about it,
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- once they've had it, it's all gone, straightaway.- Wow!
0:05:38 > 0:05:41It's just something they had to get over.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Who would have thought it? I'm holding a tarantula!
0:05:45 > 0:05:48This is a breakthrough! Rich, thank you so much
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Maybe I'll get one as a pet!
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- One step at a time!- Yeah!
0:06:05 > 0:06:10Up in the Big Cat section, there's a lonely Bengal tiger named Munas
0:06:10 > 0:06:13who's about to move home.
0:06:13 > 0:06:19For years, he shared his enclosure with a female tiger, but she died.
0:06:19 > 0:06:25Poor old Munas has been here by himself, pining, basically.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30We're now going to move him so we can pair him up with another female.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35But the keepers don't want Munas and his new companion to breed.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39He's going to have a minor operation
0:06:39 > 0:06:43so he can't breed, because his bloodline is over-represented.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Park vet Jane Hopper has arrived to carry out the operation.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54The first thing will be to knock him out with a tranquilliser dart.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58As soon as Munas is shut in his house, Jane can start.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06She needs to act fast before he gets too agitated about being shut in.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12She's got a special dart gun to inject Munas with the tranquilliser.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15But the dart must hit where he's got a lot of muscles.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Like at the top of his legs.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19TIGER ROARS
0:07:20 > 0:07:23If the drug was to be injected straight into a vital organ,
0:07:23 > 0:07:25it could kill him.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27TIGER ROARS
0:07:27 > 0:07:30I'm sure you can hear he's really very stressed and worked up,
0:07:30 > 0:07:31which we try and avoid.
0:07:31 > 0:07:37But he doesn't like being shut in his little shut-off area.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42DART FIRES
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Jane's happy with that shot.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Erm, that went quite well.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52I wouldn't be surprised if he does need another dart,
0:07:52 > 0:07:56because he's so worked up. That may counteract the drugs a little bit.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58But we'll see. It's good to get a dart in
0:07:58 > 0:08:01and hopefully he's sitting in there going to sleep now.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04And while they wait for Munas to drop off,
0:08:04 > 0:08:08they can set up a make-shift operating table in his enclosure.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12The reason why we do these things in the cage is because it's safer.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Because if you darted a cat, especially a tiger, being his size
0:08:16 > 0:08:18and then taken him somewhere else, off the premises,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21can be a bit more of a, you know, a worry.
0:08:22 > 0:08:2515 minutes later it's time to check on him.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29His breathing is still nice, is it?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32It looks like the tranquilliser has worked.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37But with an animal this dangerous, you have to be really careful.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39It's hard to see. I can't see a blinker.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46We seem OK but we need to proceed with caution.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Don't open it all the way for the minute, please.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Hi.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Go on. Go on.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Go on.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Bit more, please.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58OK, and this stick.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Jane's leaning in and poking him with a rake
0:09:03 > 0:09:04to see if he's unconscious.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08It's not a very scientific method, but it usually works.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11It's OK, now just proceed with caution,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14cos he's a bit of a faker now, we've had a problem before.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Jane's going in, but is Munas really asleep?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20We'll be back shortly to find out.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34It's Ask The Keeper time now here on Roar,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36and amongst the mayhem we've got four clever-clogs
0:09:36 > 0:09:40and a very terrified-looking Matt Crittenden.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Now, Matt, we've got some great questions for you, I'm going first.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45What are these?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- They're black and white colobus monkeys.- Yeah, first one right.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Now, can these guys help you today?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Yeah, they can. Help give them a few peanuts.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55I'll give them some first. Put your hand out.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Any tips on how to feed them?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Yeah, just throw them on the table.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Now, we've got loads of questions for you as well.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Bethany, do you want to ask your question first?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Why are they called colobus monkeys?
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Colobus monkeys, it comes from a Greek word meaning mutilated.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Because they've got no thumbs, if you have a look at them.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19- Oh, wow.- Mutilated thumb, evolution has made it disappear.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Are they endangered?
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Colobus are not critically endangered, but as with all monkeys,
0:10:24 > 0:10:29they are a little bit persecuted in the wild, through deforestation
0:10:29 > 0:10:32and the way people are expanding where they live.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35So, yeah, we have to look after them.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Where do they come from?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Um, these come from the middle to top end of Africa.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43From Ethiopia right the way across, they are quite widespread.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Why do they have long hair on their back?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48They've got very long hair. Black and white, comes right out.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52And one of the beliefs behind that, is that when they jump
0:10:52 > 0:10:55it helps to stabilise them when they're jumping from tree to tree.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Can I just point something out, guys? Have you seen this?
0:10:58 > 0:10:59There's a little baby.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04We're so lucky to be so close to it. How old is it, Matt?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06The baby up there's about two and a half months now.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Is that the mum with the baby?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13No, that's not mum with the baby. What they do in here
0:11:13 > 0:11:17is all the others will look after the babies. We call it aunty-ing.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22It's good for them, because they get used to looking after youngsters
0:11:22 > 0:11:26so when it comes round to their time to have babies, they know what to do.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Oh, Matt, what is that smell?
0:11:30 > 0:11:31It wasn't me.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I think it's probably the camera crew.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39No, what is that smell, Matt? Unless it was you and you're not owning up.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42The colobus monkeys have got a very complex digestive system.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46They're like cows, they've got two or three areas in their stomachs.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49They eat all day long, this is what keeps them well.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52But because they eat all day long, they make a lot of wind.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56So they're either burping, or blowing off, so that's what that smell is.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Nice! Thanks very much for that.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Matt, you've done really well so far but, guys,
0:12:02 > 0:12:05we should have a get-together and come up with a killer question.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09THEY WHISPER
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Yeah, OK, fair enough, all right.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Yeah. We know the answer.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17We've done our research and this is the question we're asking, Matt.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21What's the highest height ever recorded that a colobus monkey
0:12:21 > 0:12:23has been found, above sea level?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25It's a tricky one.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32I think you've got me there.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34Don't even want to guess?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I have not got a clue.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38You haven't got a clue?
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Ah! I thought you'd get it as well.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44The correct answer is 2,835 metres.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48That's like ten Eiffel Towers stacked on top of each other.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51So you've got to say, those colobus monkeys can certainly climb.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55So what do you think, guys, thumbs up or thumbs down for Matt here?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Definitely a Prince of Primates.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Make sure you join us next time for more Ask The Keeper on Roar.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Well done.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12At the tiger enclosure, Jane the vet
0:13:12 > 0:13:15is checking that the tranquilliser dart has worked
0:13:15 > 0:13:17and Munas really is asleep.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20He's out for the count.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22So it's time to move him.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- Oh.- One. Two. Three.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31But that's trickier than it sounds because Munas weighs over 200kg.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34That's like the weight of three refrigerators.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Lovely job.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36OK, check him.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Let's go.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Munas is being moved to another enclosure today.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42But first, he needs a minor operation.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46There's a female tiger in the new enclosure
0:13:46 > 0:13:48and the keepers don't want them to breed.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52So he's going to be neutered, just like most pet cats.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Some animals don't react very well to being under anaesthetic.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01So Munas is being hooked up to an oxygen tank, just in case.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07It's up to vet nurse Kerry to check that his breathing is all right,
0:14:07 > 0:14:09and to make sure he doesn't wake up.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Basically, I'm trying to look at all his different reflexes.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17See whether he's got a reflex in his eyelids, touch the corner of the eye,
0:14:17 > 0:14:19make sure the eyelid contracts.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Doing things that would stimulate him, to see if I get
0:14:22 > 0:14:26any response from him. Checking his jaw tone, the tone in his muscles.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28If I can easily open his jaw, he's nicely asleep.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30He's an amazing creature.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33You don't often get to be this close to a tiger.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36This is the only way you can do it, when he's sedated,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39rather than when they're running around the enclosure.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Always a worry, the last thing you want is them waking up
0:14:43 > 0:14:45and hurting anyone, which they would do.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49It's not as routine as it is when you do domestic animals.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52You do five or six cats a day in a normal practice.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Hopefully we don't have to do too many of these big boys!
0:14:57 > 0:14:59And with the big boy out for the count,
0:14:59 > 0:15:03it's a great opportunity for Jim to check him over.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07You can just see there's a bit of wear on the enamel.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10That's normal for a tiger of his age.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14When they're chewing through bones, you're going to lose some.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15There's nothing unusual.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20The operation doesn't take long, and our Jane's finished.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24He'll be sore, but he had some painkillers before the surgery.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27That's the best way, before the pain even gets there.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29I hope he's going to be feeling OK.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32When he wakes up, he'll be grumpy.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37Again, it shouldn't be for long. Possibly, you know, a day or two.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Now Munas needs to go in his crate to be moved to the new enclosure.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44And Jane is about to give him a drug
0:15:44 > 0:15:47to bring him round from the anaesthetic.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52But if he wakes up too quickly and finds himself trapped in a dark box,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54he could panic.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58We'll be back later to see just how fast the team can move.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09What's a toad's favourite ballet? Swamp lake!
0:16:09 > 0:16:11WAH WAH WAAAAH!
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Grrraaahhh! Rrraaaargh!
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Where do bees go on holiday?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19To Stingapore! Bzzzzz!
0:16:19 > 0:16:22SHE WHINNIES
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- What's grey, has four legs and jumps up and down?- I don't know.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28An elephant on a trampoline!
0:16:28 > 0:16:31ALL: Boooooooo!
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- Boo!- Hahahaha!
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I've popped up to the red river hog enclosure
0:16:48 > 0:16:52to meet up with hoofstock keeper Helen who's prepared a fruity feast!
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Helen, it all looks very nice
0:16:54 > 0:16:57but a rather strange place for a dinner date!
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Yeah. This is the pig enclosure,
0:16:59 > 0:17:01and I thought I'd bury some melons for them.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Really? And you think they'll find them?
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Yeah, I hope so.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09They have a good sense of smell, so hopefully they'll dig them up.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- We'll see what happens.- Wicked.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13What shall we do here, then?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Put some gloves on, cos it's quite mucky.- Yeah, go on, then.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Then if we can bury some... I've made sure they're showing,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23so they can see them when they come up, a couple of them.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26If you want to chuck that one in that hole?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Yeah, just...cover it down with mud.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I don't want to cover them too much, then?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Because they'd never get them, would they?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36They probably would. Once they've got the scent,
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- they'll have a dig round.- OK.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- How am I doing, Helen? - Yeah, brilliant.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45Little bit more over it?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47That's perfect, actually.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48That's brilliant.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- OK. They're all in place. Shall we get them in here?- Let's do it.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- Let's get out of here!- Cool!
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Helen, the pigs have gone straight for the fruit.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- How did they know it was there? - They must have smelt it.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- Mr Pig was straight in there. That's the male there.- Right.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- He's digging right in.- Will he always be first to get the fruit?
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Yeah, Mr Pig generally will be. He's very astute.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18He's the male, the dominant male. So he's normally first in.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21I've noticed we've put in some watermelon,
0:18:21 > 0:18:24which is a strange thing for a pig. Do they have it often?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Well, we try to vary their diet a lot.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30They eat lots of things in the wild - fruits, shoots and leaves,
0:18:30 > 0:18:35and some meats as well. So they've got a wide variety of food.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39So who else have you got in here? Is this a family of red river hogs?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Yes. This is Dad, this is Gosho.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45And we've got... Mrs Pig's wandered back down there.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47That's Tafika. These are their three piglets.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Is it all happy families here?
0:18:49 > 0:18:52They're quite good. They're very greedy, as you can imagine!
0:18:52 > 0:18:54They've got these massive snouts.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Does that mean they've got a good sense of smell?
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Yeah, very good. They use their snouts to, for example,
0:19:00 > 0:19:04to dig up anything that they might want to eat, like this.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07They almost use it like a shovel.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Helen, as Dad's eating and stuffing his face,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I've noticed he's got massive teeth.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Is that why we're this side of the fence?
0:19:14 > 0:19:18It certainly is. They can be... As you can see from their teeth,
0:19:18 > 0:19:20they could potentially be very dangerous.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22We make sure we're safe at all times.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27Good to know! They seem quite playful. Do they often play around?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Yeah, they run after each other and chase each other.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32They're really playful animals, lovely to work with.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35We can see they've enjoyed your fruity feast.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Next time, you'd better bring some tissues down.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40They've made a right mess of themselves!
0:19:46 > 0:19:47It's wild, it's hairy,
0:19:47 > 0:19:52it's the Roar game on the CBBC website.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55This year, there's a brand-new area called Ice World.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58So it's extra cool!
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Now here comes today's cheat code.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03It's wind4. Type that in,
0:20:03 > 0:20:07and see what you get. Good luck, and happy gaming!
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Ahh...ahhh..ahhh...atchoo!
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Ohhh! Oh, you'll have to excuse me, I'm really suffering with hay fever.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36I'm not the only one. Keslo, the male drill is also suffering,
0:20:36 > 0:20:39and making a lot of noise! The head keeper is Simon Jeffries.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42He has a plan. How can I help you today?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45What we're going to do is give out some honey sandwiches.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- Right.- Giving local honey can hopefully boost their immune system,
0:20:49 > 0:20:51and stop them having bad eyes and things.
0:20:51 > 0:20:56- So where is Keslo?- He's just here. There he is.- And he's got hay fever?
0:20:56 > 0:21:01- Yeah, you can see his eyes, look. - Oh, yes! They're all red.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03We'd better get on and make these honey butties.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Now, Gorbi's here. Does he have hay fever
0:21:06 > 0:21:09or is he just interested in the honey?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11He's just interested in the honey, I'm afraid.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13He doesn't have hay fever at all.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16What am I doing with this? Putting them together?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19What we'll do is we'll fold these in half like this,
0:21:19 > 0:21:21so they can go through the mesh easy.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Then we're going to have to wait until Keslo comes a bit closer.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Let's give out some bread as well, to distract some of the others.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Otherwise we'll never get to him.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32When Kelso comes to your side, you might have to give him some.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- He's just here... - No, he's just here, actually.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37There you go.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39There he is, he's come in there!
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- Keslo!- Where is he?
0:21:42 > 0:21:45He's got his honey butty there but he's still after more bread.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Well, he's got his honey butty and hopefully this will kick in.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52How long would it take for honey to start work on him?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55It can take up to a year. They need to get used to having it their system
0:21:55 > 0:21:59so it's a long-term process but it's better to have something natural
0:21:59 > 0:22:01than giving them medication all the time.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04We've got to try new stuff to see what works, really.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09I've noticed with my hay fever, I only have it over a certain period of time of the year.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13It's just when the flowers come into bloom, right at the beginning of the season.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Is he the same?
0:22:14 > 0:22:17He is seasonal but it seems to last a very long time.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19He's coming over your side this time.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- Ready?- But it seems to last a long time?- Go!
0:22:22 > 0:22:23THEY LAUGH
0:22:23 > 0:22:26I love that, "Go! Go with your honey butty!"
0:22:26 > 0:22:28I've come up here so I can have a little look at him.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Apart from the red eyes, any sneezing, anything else?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Not that we've seen. He seems all right in himself.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38I've never seen him sneeze. Doesn't mean he doesn't
0:22:38 > 0:22:39because we can't be here 24 hours.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42But he does seem generally all right, apart from the eyes.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44But the eyes are just so bad.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47They've been so bad in the past, they've been almost closed.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50That's why it's important that you guys are here all the time,
0:22:50 > 0:22:54watching them, because the drill are an endangered species.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56These are one of the rarest animals in the zoo.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59There's only about 3,000 of these left in the world,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02so it's very important you do keep an eye on them.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I've got to say good luck with it. I hope it goes well
0:23:04 > 0:23:07because hay fever is terrible. Like I said, I've got it
0:23:07 > 0:23:10so I'll have a honey butty as well if you're making.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Typical! Thanks, Simon.
0:23:15 > 0:23:21Munas, the Bengal tiger is being moved to the other side of the park.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Jane the vet has just given him a drug to start waking him up.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29So now the team need to get him into his new enclosure
0:23:29 > 0:23:32before he comes round completely.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35But halfway there, he's wide awake
0:23:35 > 0:23:38and has started crashing about inside his crate.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49They've arrived but still need to check if everything's ready
0:23:49 > 0:23:51for Munas to go into his new house.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59The crate is strong enough to keep him in but he could hurt himself.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Steady, steady, steady!
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Don't stand on this side.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21And just as they arrive at the new house, Munas calms down
0:24:21 > 0:24:23so it's panic over.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Back a little bit. That's it.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27Well done.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30We're going to need to get the nail out.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Well done.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35He's all right.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Yeah, he's awake. He's awake in there.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42A bit anxious to get out so that's why we were rushing a bit
0:24:42 > 0:24:43to get him in here, just in case.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48When they open the sliding doors, Munas goes through to his new home.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52After all the excitement, he'll stay in the house
0:24:52 > 0:24:55and the small paddock for the rest of today,
0:24:55 > 0:24:56while he gets used to the place.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Then, when he's ready, he'll be meeting his new companion,
0:25:00 > 0:25:02out in the large enclosure.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Well, that's it for another show and after all that,
0:25:16 > 0:25:19I've worked up a right appetite, so it's a good job
0:25:19 > 0:25:23that Tom and Ron here have brought me a delicious feast. Thanks, guys!
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Johny, this isn't for you but this is,
0:25:26 > 0:25:31because did you know that an adult elly can eat 227 kilos of food?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34So you've got a lot of food to dish out.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- Tom, we're ready to give you a hand. - Excellent, well done.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Now, you've got loads of stuff here so what do the ellies eat?
0:25:40 > 0:25:45On the menu today we've got carrots, swede, apples, pears, beetroot.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- They definitely get their five-a-day then, don't they?- Oh, yeah.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53That's a lot of food that they eat. Are they generally in need
0:25:53 > 0:25:56of that much food or are they a little bit greedy?
0:25:56 > 0:26:00No, elephants aren't necessarily greedy. They have a big appetite.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03They've got a big belly and they're going to be eating for 18 hours a day
0:26:03 > 0:26:06so this kind of food is... it just fills them up.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10And scattering it around, it means they're going to spend a lot of time
0:26:10 > 0:26:12finding their food, which is important.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16Now, you said they eat for 18 hours a day. Sorry, John!
0:26:16 > 0:26:19They can't have a great digestive system,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21if they've got to be constantly eating.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Elephant digestive systems, at best is about 45% efficient.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29A lot of what they eat, if it doesn't get mashed up by the teeth
0:26:29 > 0:26:32will go straight the way through, and quite often inside the poo
0:26:32 > 0:26:35you actually see bits of fruit.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39So we might find a whole carrot in elly poo.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42What happens to that? Do you have to go round and pick it out, Tom?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Sometimes, you quite often see elephants,
0:26:45 > 0:26:48what they'll do is when they have a quick poo,
0:26:48 > 0:26:52- they turn round and then they pick it back up again.- No!!
0:26:52 > 0:26:56So you're saying that elephants essentially eat their own poo?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59No. No, they recycle.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Right, OK, well that's something that I definitely won't recommend
0:27:02 > 0:27:04kids to do at home.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07That's it from the show but why don't you stick around
0:27:07 > 0:27:10to find out what's coming up on the next Roar. That's gross!
0:27:13 > 0:27:17I'll find out how the gorillas eat nettles without getting stung.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20We'll be setting the meerkats a challenge
0:27:20 > 0:27:22to see how smart they really are.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27And what will the tiger cubs think when they find out the Roar ranger
0:27:27 > 0:27:30has thrown all their toys in the pond?
