0:00:02 > 0:00:05Wo-ho! That has to be the coolest haircut in the parks,
0:00:05 > 0:00:08and the little monkey's very rare too.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11In fact, he's the only one of his kind.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- Hello and welcome to Roar. I'm Johny.- And I'm Rani.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48- What are you doing?- Did you know that a giraffe's tongue
0:00:48 > 0:00:53can grow to an impressive 53cm. That's about this long,
0:00:53 > 0:00:58- so it can wash behind its ears with its tongue.- Well, a human tongue
0:00:58 > 0:01:01can only grow to a very unimpressive 10cm,
0:01:01 > 0:01:04so there's no way that is getting behind those.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I'll have to stick to soap and water, then.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Why don't you check out what's coming up on today's Roar?
0:01:12 > 0:01:15We've got poo flying everywhere!
0:01:15 > 0:01:17There's poo on the camera!
0:01:17 > 0:01:21There is poo on the camera!
0:01:21 > 0:01:23What chance do little doggy chews have
0:01:23 > 0:01:26against these strong jaws?
0:01:26 > 0:01:30And some immense tigers face the acid test. Will the scent
0:01:30 > 0:01:32of citrus fruit drive them wild?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Right, check out these crazy-looking guys.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45They may look like the Tweenies but they're grizzled leaf monkeys
0:01:45 > 0:01:48and they're in danger of dying out.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52There used to be loads of them in the rainforests of Java
0:01:52 > 0:01:56but their natural forest home has been almost completely destroyed.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01They're much safer here at Port Lympne and Howletts,
0:02:01 > 0:02:05which is just nuts, and Liam looks after all of them.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Each one of these monkey nuts
0:02:07 > 0:02:10represents one of our grizzled leaf monkeys at park.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15There's 15 of them, so there's not many of them in captivity at all.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Being the only grizzled leaf monkeys outside Java
0:02:19 > 0:02:21makes them a very exclusive gang.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26With less than 3,000 in the wild, it's a serious conservation value
0:02:26 > 0:02:28that we have them here.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31With their species so close to becoming extinct,
0:02:31 > 0:02:36the keepers are maxing their effort to safe them, and it's paying off.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38We've had some fantastic news.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Mojang, our female grizzled leaf monkey, has given birth
0:02:42 > 0:02:45so we can add another peanut to our list
0:02:45 > 0:02:48and another animal to our collection.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53And since it's feeding time now, we might just get to see the baby.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Come on, then, sweetness.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00There are six grizzled leaf monkeys in this family group
0:03:00 > 0:03:02and Mojang is the mum.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04We don't want to worry her,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07so our crew are staying outside the enclosure
0:03:07 > 0:03:11which will make it even harder to spot the tiny baby.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14They are a very nervous species.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Planes flying over can make them have a negative response
0:03:18 > 0:03:23and display some weird behaviours, a lot of alarm-calling,
0:03:23 > 0:03:27but again, in general, they are quite a shy species.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30But it's vital that Liam sees the baby often
0:03:30 > 0:03:35to make sure it's all right, so we'll come back when he finds out
0:03:35 > 0:03:38where Mojang is hiding the little one.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Our Roar Ranger today is nine-year-old Oscar from Kent.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51He's got a particular reason
0:03:51 > 0:03:53for wanting to have a go
0:03:53 > 0:03:56at being an animal keeper.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57I'd like to be a Roar Ranger
0:03:57 > 0:04:00because I want to work in a zoo when I'm older.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04He's got some experience of dealing with wild animals -
0:04:04 > 0:04:06his pet dog, Scooby.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Oscar certainly doesn't lack energy,
0:04:10 > 0:04:14so let's find out what use he'll be putting it to
0:04:14 > 0:04:17as today's Roar Ranger.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22"Oscar, today you're a baboon keeper. Let's go ape!"
0:04:22 > 0:04:24HE IMITATES AN APE
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Guinea baboons are the smallest of the five kinds of baboon
0:04:28 > 0:04:31that still survive in the wild.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34They come from remote parts of western Africa,
0:04:34 > 0:04:38but their forest homes are still being destroyed,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41so the future doesn't look good.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48Keeper Matt helps to look after 162 cheeky monkeys at the park,
0:04:48 > 0:04:52so showing the ropes to one more should be a breeze for him.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Hello.- Hello, are you Oscar? - Yes.- I'm Matt.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- Had a good day so far?- Yes.- Well, I'm going to spoilt that for you.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Oh, dear. Matt's lined up a real treat -
0:05:05 > 0:05:10cleaning up after three male Guinea baboons.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Nice!
0:05:16 > 0:05:19There we go, Oscar. Inside the baboon house.
0:05:19 > 0:05:25- Have a good sniff.- Eurgh!- What do you reckon?- It stinks!- Yeah.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28A bit like your mum not cleaning your bedroom out
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- cos I've heard that your bedroom's a bit like that.- Yeah.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Would you do that on the floor in your bedroom?- No!
0:05:35 > 0:05:40Well, let's hope not! These baboons are even fiercer than Oscar's mum,
0:05:40 > 0:05:44so Matt wants their bedroom to be immaculate.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49First thing I want you to do, Oscar, is brush all that
0:05:49 > 0:05:51off the shelf onto the floor.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05Hold up, let's take another look at that, shall we?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Eurgh! That's gross!
0:06:08 > 0:06:11There's poo on the camera!
0:06:13 > 0:06:16There is poo on the camera, yeah!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18OSCAR LAUGHS
0:06:18 > 0:06:22The baboons would probably laugh too if they could.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27But it won't be a laughing matter
0:06:27 > 0:06:31if Oscar doesn't make a clean sweep of their bedroom.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36Fully-grown male Guinea baboons have huge, sharp canine teeth
0:06:36 > 0:06:38which are just as big as a lion's.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Keep scrubbing, Oscar!
0:06:41 > 0:06:46I stinks so badly. I don't know what it smells like.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50It just smells really bad. You wouldn't like to be doing this.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55The floor has to be literally clean enough to eat off -
0:06:55 > 0:07:00in the wild, Guinea baboons get a lot of their food off the ground.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03The keepers here try to keep things natural,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06so their meals get scattered around,
0:07:06 > 0:07:09then everything has to be cleared up together.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Come on, then, joint effort. You sweep, I'll shovel.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Yeah, and I'm going to slip on a bit of rotten food!
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Did you get that?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25We did! Let's see that moment again.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30What rotten luck.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34I slipped on a bit of rotten food. Nothing to laugh about.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Well, it is QUITE funny. We'll come back later
0:07:37 > 0:07:41to see what Matt gives Oscar to do next.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Animal chew toys are meant to be pretty much indestructible
0:07:57 > 0:08:00and I'd have a hard time making a dent in that,
0:08:00 > 0:08:04but Head of Carnivores Jim Vassie knows something, or someone,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07that could definitely test this to its limits.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Tell me it's not in here with us. - No, no,
0:08:10 > 0:08:14but that's who were going to test it on - the African hunting dogs.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19These are truly terrifying creatures.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23They start eating their prey while it's still alive,
0:08:23 > 0:08:28so you would not want to feel their razor-sharp teeth chomping into you.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32So, Jim, we've got three chew toys here. Is that one for each dog?
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Yeah, just so there's no fighting over one particular ball,
0:08:36 > 0:08:41they've got one each. I've put some little titbits in them
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- to encourage them to chew on them. - Reckon that'll do?
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- Yeah, that looks pretty good, yeah. - OK, brilliant.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50The dogs are there. We're in here.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I don't want to be here when they're here.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58- Can we get out of here?- Yeah, let's go for it.- Let's leave them to it.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Straight away, yeah.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- See? They were going to try and run off with it.- Yeah.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Get this. Kilo for kilo,
0:09:10 > 0:09:15these guys bite with more force than any other meat-eater.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Will they often fight over the food
0:09:18 > 0:09:21or will they work out that they've got one each?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24They'll all work together to try and move it
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- from where we've tied it. - They've taken it apart already!
0:09:28 > 0:09:33- And so, out in the wild, would they hunt in a pack?- Very much so.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36The more eyes and ears they've got on their prey,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39the quicker they can catch it and bring it down.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Look how quickly... Why is their jaw so strong?
0:09:43 > 0:09:48They're bringing big animals down so they need to have powerful jaws
0:09:48 > 0:09:51to latch onto the skin or fur to bring the animal down.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Are they successful hunters?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Probably one of the best hunters in Africa.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01A lion might go out and hunt, but only get prey every five attempts,
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- whereas these might get three every five.- How often are they fed here?
0:10:05 > 0:10:10They're fed every other day, and what we're doing is enrichment for them.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Because they don't kill here,
0:10:13 > 0:10:17this is a way of sharpening the muscle in their necks,
0:10:17 > 0:10:21the jaw, and they're interacting as they should do.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25They seem to be yelping. Are they in distress there?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27No, one's telling the other one,
0:10:27 > 0:10:30"I've got this bit, you get your own."
0:10:30 > 0:10:33They work as a team when hunting,
0:10:33 > 0:10:38and those squeaking noises is how they communicate with each other.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Do they bark at all? - It's not a bark as such.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Obviously, if they bark in the wild,
0:10:43 > 0:10:47they give their place away when they're chasing their prey,
0:10:47 > 0:10:51so they squeak, which mimics birds and things like that.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56So the prey they're chasing doesn't know it's a dog that's chasing them.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00I've got to say, our toys were not indestructible at all,
0:11:00 > 0:11:04as proven by these African hunting dogs. That is one dog
0:11:04 > 0:11:07whose bite is definitely worse than its bark.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Where do frogs keep their money? - I don't know.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23In a river bank.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- What's the strongest fish in the sea?- I don't know.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32A muscle!
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- What do penguins have for lunch? - I don't know.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40An iceberg-er.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45LAUGHTER
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Earlier on, we heard that a very rare baby grizzled leaf monkey
0:11:51 > 0:11:53had been born in the parks,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56but its mum Mojang was keeping it hidden,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59and it's taken keeper Liam some time to find them.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I see Mum's hung back a little bit
0:12:01 > 0:12:05and she's just up at the top on the platform there,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08one of her favourite roosting sites,
0:12:08 > 0:12:13and you can see, just tucked up nice and tight - she's very protective -
0:12:13 > 0:12:15is her two-week-old baby.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20Finally, the 16th grizzled leaf monkey outside of Java
0:12:20 > 0:12:24shows himself. Cool hairstyle. It's a bit like Liam's.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28There's new sights, new sounds for him every day.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30As we're coming into the summer time,
0:12:30 > 0:12:35there's new smells for him. Lots of insects come into his enclosure.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39The 16 animals we have here at the park are extremely important,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42so I suppose you could say they are
0:12:42 > 0:12:45the last hope for grizzled leaf monkeys outside of Java.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49We've been lucky today, but it can be tricky
0:12:49 > 0:12:52for the keepers to keep an eye on the baby.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55As a good mum, she should be protecting her offspring,
0:12:55 > 0:12:59so she doesn't spend a lot of time around the keepers.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02It can be difficult to observe the animal suckling
0:13:02 > 0:13:05and feeding, which we do need to see,
0:13:05 > 0:13:11but hopefully, in time, she'll start to get used to the keepers
0:13:11 > 0:13:14coming into her enclosure and come down for food.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16But the baby's safety is so important
0:13:16 > 0:13:20that Liam needs to know it's OK when he isn't there to watch,
0:13:20 > 0:13:24so he's going to rig up one of our cameras
0:13:24 > 0:13:29- and leave it recording overnight. - I think they sit towards the back
0:13:29 > 0:13:32of the enclosure. Hopefully, if I'm right -
0:13:32 > 0:13:36not that we know what they do of an evening, hence the camera -
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Mojang will be sitting towards the back of the enclosure.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43This should give us some great shots,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46but Liam's also counting on it to put his mind at rest.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50I'm hoping to see some interaction from the other animals
0:13:50 > 0:13:53and see what they do, but more than anything,
0:13:53 > 0:13:58seeing the baby up close and seeing how the mum interacts with it,
0:13:58 > 0:14:02and just seeing if it's feeding. This has never been done before
0:14:02 > 0:14:05so it's a really interesting piece of footage
0:14:05 > 0:14:07that hopefully we'll get
0:14:07 > 0:14:10and go towards our archive of their behaviours.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Liam won't chill out until he's seen the tape.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18The night can be a dangerous time for young animals.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Now, when it comes to honky poo,
0:14:24 > 0:14:29there's one creature that beats everything else here,
0:14:29 > 0:14:31and that's the ocelot,
0:14:31 > 0:14:33also known as the painted leopard.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38Like all cats, they're quite good at cleaning themselves up,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40but they leave horrible heaps
0:14:40 > 0:14:44all the way from Texas down into northern South America,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47as Mark Hawkes knows only too well.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Have a look. What is that, Mark?
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Well, that's the remains of last week's dinner.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58I have to say, we all know the ocelot's pee smells,
0:14:58 > 0:15:03but this actually smells even worse. It's really pungent, isn't it?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07I'm ready to help, but I'm letting you do all the gruesome stuff.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Is there a reason why ocelots smell so much?
0:15:10 > 0:15:15A lot of the ocelot's natural habitat covers coastal wetlands,
0:15:15 > 0:15:20so one thought is that it's possibly because cats follow a scent
0:15:20 > 0:15:25to find other cats, if they're going to mate and, if it's always wet,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28it'll be hard to find the scent unless it's strong.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31We've got some wood shavings and straw,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34so once I've got this dirty stuff out the way,
0:15:34 > 0:15:39you can put in a layer of shavings in case he does wee - it soaks it up.
0:15:39 > 0:15:45- Do ocelots wee in the same place? - Yeah, many of the cats seem to.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47They go round scent-marking
0:15:47 > 0:15:51and then the other cats know that that's their home, if you like.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Now, he is prowling round in here. Is that fine, us being in here?
0:15:55 > 0:15:59He's really placid. Obviously, you don't want to go over
0:15:59 > 0:16:05and try and stroke him. He does change a bit around feed time.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09He gets a bit more aggressive, but that's natural. He wants his dinner.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11But while we're in here,
0:16:11 > 0:16:15he's pretty happy just chilling out out of the way.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20And also, with us cleaning out his little toilet-style box,
0:16:20 > 0:16:24does he appreciate this? Does he like to have it cleaned?
0:16:24 > 0:16:29In the wild, it's not like someone's going to come in and clean it up
0:16:29 > 0:16:33- so what would happen there? - Well, we don't do it
0:16:33 > 0:16:36so often that it annoys him or anything.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40- So that isn't just on one day, then, that mess?- Thankfully not,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43otherwise I'd have a much busier job than I do.
0:16:43 > 0:16:49No, that's accumulated. We generally clean the enclosures twice a week.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54It's only really when it's wet and it's really bad that we clean them.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58If not, we tend to just leave him. It's his home. We don't want to
0:16:58 > 0:17:01make him have to make it snug again too often.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05But I'm sure, some of the states that he leaves it in,
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- he's probably quite appreciative of us cleaning it.- He's like,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12"Yes, Mark, make sure you do the corners."
0:17:12 > 0:17:16We're putting this in. It's not that soft. Is it comfy enough
0:17:16 > 0:17:22- for the ocelots?- Oh, certainly comfy enough.- We've done a great job,
0:17:22 > 0:17:26but you know what would make it perfect? A little air freshener.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38Having cleaned out the Guinea baboons' house earlier on,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Oscar's reward is to hand-feed them
0:17:41 > 0:17:44under the watchful eye of experienced keeper Matt.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I forgot his name!
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Remember, if you're visiting the park,
0:17:49 > 0:17:53do not feed the animals. They get a balanced diet from the keepers.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56But what DO they eat? The boys like nuts.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01There's three boys in here. We've got Linkos who's sat over there,
0:18:01 > 0:18:05we've got Lusaka who's in front of you there,
0:18:05 > 0:18:07and we've got Jonas up there.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Male baboons can be aggressive
0:18:09 > 0:18:15and don't like being kept waiting for their food. Watch out, Oscar.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- It's literally just like...- Ohh! - There you go.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21That's why you shouldn't go near them
0:18:21 > 0:18:24without a keeper. They're grumpy.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29He looks at me like this - really suspiciously
0:18:29 > 0:18:31like, are you going to do it again?
0:18:31 > 0:18:36Amongst troops of baboons, the law of the jungle is all that counts
0:18:36 > 0:18:40and, if the top-ranking guy doesn't get his grub first,
0:18:40 > 0:18:42everyone better watch out.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Whoa, that wasn't me! It was him!
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Don't blame me for something that I didn't do.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53They're getting their own back
0:18:53 > 0:18:56cos you didn't clean their bedroom properly.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00So, at the end of our Roar Ranger's day, what does Oscar think?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I have a healthy respect for baboons.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06I don't want to get in there and fight with them. Do you?
0:19:06 > 0:19:12I possibly think there's a future in zoo-keeping for Oscar at the park,
0:19:12 > 0:19:17- but maybe not with baboons. - Whoa, that wasn't me! It was him!
0:19:18 > 0:19:20How's your own wildlife park doing?
0:19:20 > 0:19:24The Roar online game is full of new attractions
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- like the Ice World enclosure. - Punch in today's code,
0:19:27 > 0:19:32blizzard7, and see what cool freebies we're giving away.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Sit back and enjoy.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Now, everyone knows that pet cats love the smell of catnip,
0:19:44 > 0:19:48so do giant wild ones get excited by new scents too?
0:19:48 > 0:19:53Tug and Ingrid, and cubs Sinda and Bira, who were born here last year,
0:19:53 > 0:19:58are Siberian tigers, which are the biggest of the lot.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Keeper Chris Hales thinks the zest, or grated rind,
0:20:01 > 0:20:05of lemons, oranges and limes will make them purr with pleasure,
0:20:05 > 0:20:09so we've come down to their enclosure to give it a try.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Chris, I'm not convinced tigers are going to like citrus fruit
0:20:13 > 0:20:16but do you want me to take that in there and get started?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19I've really done the hard work for you.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22I've already put some orange zest down on this log,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25and next to it we've got some lemon on the log there,
0:20:25 > 0:20:29and over on the back there, on the rocks, we've got some lime.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32It's a little bit of a competition. Once we let the cats out,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34we'll see which ones they like best.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38They saw me putting it in there. Yeah, here they come right now.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- So this is Ingrid first. - OK, is she the boss?
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Well, she's the mum. I wouldn't exactly call her the boss.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49Ah, there we go. So Ingrid's on the lime there at the back.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53And the two cubs, they'll kind of go wherever Mum goes.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57So we've got Tugar on the left. That's the dad. Then Mum next to him,
0:20:57 > 0:21:00and then we've got Sinda and Bira, the two youngsters.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Do tigers in the wild usually stick together?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Actually, no. This is an unusual situation.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Normally, you wouldn't find dads with the family,
0:21:09 > 0:21:12but because Tugar was hand-reared and he's such a big softie,
0:21:12 > 0:21:15we knew it wouldn't be an issue keeping him with them,
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- and he's proved us right. - So they're sniffing...
0:21:18 > 0:21:22That's the lime over there, isn't it? The lime's taken their fancy.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Yeah, you can see Tug's having a good old sniff.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27One of the youngsters has come up.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- What do you make of that, then? - That's amazing.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31You're supposed to be at the log.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35So, out in the wild, obviously, they love meat and things like that,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- but do you think they'd eat fruit? - No, they wouldn't eat fruit,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41but when we've done things similar to this in the past...
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Occasionally we'll put in half an orange and rub it on the logs,
0:21:45 > 0:21:47and leave the orange in there,
0:21:47 > 0:21:51and they do have a bit of a chew on it. Anybody who's got cats at home,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54occasionally you'll see them eating things like grass as well,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57so they do try different things out, but meat is their main thing.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- This is purely for smell. - Look at this!
0:22:00 > 0:22:02I didn't realise how tall they were.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- How tall do they grow? That's taller than me.- Just to give you an idea,
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- she's a year old at the moment. - Oh, my gosh!
0:22:09 > 0:22:12A year old and taller than me. I'm six foot tall.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Yeah, she's a big girl, isn't she, already?
0:22:15 > 0:22:20They get huge. Tug here, he weighs round about 33 stone at the moment,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23and he's not a particularly big Siberian tiger.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Tug, are you going to show us how tall you are?
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Tug, what's this? Come on, boy, show us. Go on, what's this?
0:22:30 > 0:22:35- Oh, my gosh!- There you go, he's not even stretching.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38And you say he's not even a particularly big tiger?
0:22:38 > 0:22:42No, not really. He's kind of average size for a Siberian tiger,
0:22:42 > 0:22:43so, yeah, massive cats.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Obviously, they are the largest out of all the cats.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Chris, I'm not sure they like that scent.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52They're going in to wash it off.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Is there a particular scent they do like?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Believe it or not, one of their favourites is perfume.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Tigers like perfume? You learn something every day.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Thank you so much for bringing us down here, Chris.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Earlier on, we saw Liam rigging up a camera so that he could check
0:23:11 > 0:23:16that the new baby grizzled leaf monkey is safe overnight.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19These awesome guys with their buff haircuts
0:23:19 > 0:23:21are dying out fast in the wild
0:23:21 > 0:23:22and the colony of 16 here
0:23:22 > 0:23:28are the only grizzled leaf monkeys in captivity anywhere in the world,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30apart from their homeland, Java.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33So this is one very important baby.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36He proves that they can be bred in captivity,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38and that may be the only way
0:23:38 > 0:23:42the grizzlies can survive in the long run.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Two other keepers, Adam and Joe, are also keen to watch the recording.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Really, we're hoping to see the youngster moving around.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Really, we want to see that it's strong,
0:23:52 > 0:23:53active, bright and alert,
0:23:53 > 0:23:56and seeing if they interact with each other
0:23:56 > 0:24:01throughout the night time. It's obviously looking bright and alert.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Looks pretty healthy, doesn't it?
0:24:09 > 0:24:13The good news is that the baby looks very well indeed
0:24:13 > 0:24:16and he's just as cheeky as his dad.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Yeah, there's our little budding camera-man.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23That's the adult male.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Ah, thanks! I think we're going to see
0:24:26 > 0:24:29a lot of wall and no monkeys tonight.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Or are we?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33He's moved the camera back in, into shot.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37This is interesting. This is the sort of thing that we wanted to see -
0:24:37 > 0:24:40aunting behaviour where the other females look after him.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43It's quite obvious there that Mojang, it's mum,
0:24:43 > 0:24:46has left it to its own devices with the other female,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48and it's having a whale of a time with her.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Aunting is where the mum lets other monkeys look after her baby.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55It gives younger females the chance to find out what it's like
0:24:55 > 0:24:58while lucky old mum gets a rest.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02- The video's proving very useful. - That's quite interesting.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05The mum looks like she's just left it to its own devices for a while.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08It seems quite happy round the rest of the group.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10It's the first I've seen her off mum.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14But as soon as the lights go off, the baby comes straight back to mum.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18I can't believe how active it is, just constantly going.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21She must be really giving Mum a hard time. I certainly wouldn't like
0:25:21 > 0:25:23keeping her in check.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25So the camera's done its job.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29The keepers now know the baby's well looked after overnight,
0:25:29 > 0:25:31and they're learning a lot of other stuff too.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Any information we can get, for this species in particular,
0:25:35 > 0:25:39is really interesting, and more so when they've got an infant,
0:25:39 > 0:25:43especially something as rare as this. Just to see that it's strong
0:25:43 > 0:25:46and that Mum's looking after it properly, really,
0:25:46 > 0:25:50and it's a bonus just seeing the rest of the group interacting with it.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52So excellent, big success.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03Now, if you think that baby monkey was cute, check this one out.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Keymon's a Diana monkey that Simon Jeffrey hand-reared last year
0:26:07 > 0:26:10and he was a riot.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15That's nearly a year ago now, so we want to see how he's getting on.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Can we see Keymon today? They all look the same if he's got big!
0:26:19 > 0:26:23- Keymon's over here.- Oh, he's still little, isn't he?- Ohh!- Keymon!
0:26:23 > 0:26:27So he's back in there with everyone, seems really happy,
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- so it is a happy ending?- A very happy ending, exactly what we want.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34He's back in, he's part of the group and he's a proper little monkey.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37High five that! We like that. We do like that. It's good news.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Simon, what does the future hold for him? Is he going to start
0:26:40 > 0:26:45- his own family or stick in with this family?- He's just over a year old,
0:26:45 > 0:26:49so he's got a long way yet until he's mature enough to start breeding,
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- but we want to see him having his own family.- That sounds fantastic.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Now, talking about new families, I heard a rumour,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58not that I ever listen to rumours,
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- but Angie, Keymon's mum, is preggers again. Is that right?- She could be.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05It may be very early on in the pregnancy.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- If there is a new baby, tell me first.- No, tell me first.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12- No, tell me!- Unfortunately, we're out of time on today's show,
0:27:12 > 0:27:15but stick around to see what's happening on the next Roar.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Five a day for the ellies
0:27:17 > 0:27:20means a jumbo-sized mountain of fruit and veg,
0:27:20 > 0:27:23but they have to find it.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27While the colobus monkeys prefer a more personal style of service.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30And giant giraffes look even bigger
0:27:30 > 0:27:33when they're staring you in the face.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Make sure you're watching.
