0:00:02 > 0:00:05'Today on Roar, we meet seven pallas cat kittens
0:00:05 > 0:00:08'fighting against a deadly disease.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10'Will they survive?'
0:00:35 > 0:00:39- Welcome to Roar. I'm Johny. - And I'm Rani.
0:00:39 > 0:00:44And just behind us over there are two of hoofstock's newest additions.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Baby elands.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51At two weeks, it's essential that they're up and about with the herd
0:00:51 > 0:00:53for their survival in the wild.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Speaking of wild, we've got a great show. Let's get on with it.
0:00:58 > 0:01:04'Coming up, two new housemates arrive for Tao the sifaka.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08'Before keeper Simon can go ahead with the risky mixing,
0:01:08 > 0:01:12'he's got to catch the loopy lemurs.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17'Gorillas going to the gym?
0:01:17 > 0:01:22'Find out how strong these muscly apes really are.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25'And discover if this tapir has a weight problem
0:01:25 > 0:01:27'as he steps on the scales.'
0:01:27 > 0:01:31He's put on nearly 15 kilos in three weeks.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Which is good.- That's a lot!
0:01:35 > 0:01:41'One of our favourite characters is Little Man, the feisty pallas cat.
0:01:41 > 0:01:47'We followed him as he battled the deadly disease toxoplasmosis.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52'Pallas cats often catch this as kittens and most can't fight it.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56'But Little Man did, with the help of deputy head keeper
0:01:56 > 0:02:00'turned surrogate mum, Ben, who hand reared him.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04'Thanks to round-the-clock care from dedicated keepers,
0:02:04 > 0:02:10'this miracle moggy survived and went on to become a big Little Man,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13'with an even bigger attitude.'
0:02:13 > 0:02:18He's turning back to his wild roots. He's no longer the hand-raised cat.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22He come up and sees me but I don't dare stroke him.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24He'd try to bite my hand.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28'Previously on Roar, we saw Little Man get a partner.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32'Now there's been some fantastic news.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37'Seven adorable pallas kittens have been born.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41'They don't come much sweeter than these balls of grey fluff.'
0:02:41 > 0:02:45She's just had some kittens. We've seen seven.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49They're three weeks old and they're doing very well.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54'These babies are good news for the survival of the species.
0:02:54 > 0:03:00'In their native Russia and northern Asia, numbers are in decline.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03'Keepers are not celebrating yet.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08'Pallas cats are incredibly difficult to breed in captivity
0:03:08 > 0:03:11'because survival rates are low.'
0:03:11 > 0:03:15All the kittens seem to suffer from toxoplasmosis
0:03:15 > 0:03:17that gets passed from parents.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21They're extremely susceptible to it, which is horrendous.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26'Sadly, nine out of ten pallas kittens are killed by toxoplasmosis
0:03:26 > 0:03:28'in their first few months.'
0:03:28 > 0:03:31It's highly likely that they'll get toxoplasmosis.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Hopefully, at this stage, they haven't got it,
0:03:35 > 0:03:39which means they might be able to work through childhood.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Once they become active and young adults,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46they should have immunity to it.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50It's just getting them through that first six to nine months.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53'The next few months are critical.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58'Having been through it with Little Man, Ben and the cat keepers
0:03:58 > 0:04:03'know that this deadly disease could strike without warning.'
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Anything could happen.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09They could look fit today and you could find two dead tomorrow.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13'The kittens face a dangerous few months.
0:04:13 > 0:04:19'All the keepers can do is be alert for any early symptoms of disease.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24'We'll be back later to see how these cute kitties are progressing.'
0:04:31 > 0:04:35'Some of the park's liveliest animals are the lemurs.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40'In the wild, they can be seen jumping through the trees
0:04:40 > 0:04:45'and pogoing across forest floors, constantly changing direction.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51'There are two new lemurs on the park - and they're quick.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54'So, how on Earth do you catch them?'
0:04:54 > 0:05:01At the primates section, head keeper Simon has an important job he needs a hand with.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Hiya. What's this important job?
0:05:03 > 0:05:07We've got to catch these new lemurs we've had come in.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16- Have you ever had these in the park? - We've never had ring tailed. No.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21Will they be all right mixing with the sifakas?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Yeah. The sifaka's another type of lemur.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27We know they've been mixed at other parks.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30We're hopeful that this will work.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35We don't have any female sifakas to go in with these two males.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38The idea is to try a different lemur
0:05:38 > 0:05:42so they at least have one they can communicate with,
0:05:42 > 0:05:44just have a pal in their room.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Where are these guys from?
0:05:46 > 0:05:52Originally from Madagascar, the only place in the world to find lemurs.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57What do you have to think about when you mix the lemurs together?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Where do you start?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02It's not as difficult as it sounds.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I've tried mixing animals in hundreds of ways.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09You can't write down, "This works every time."
0:06:09 > 0:06:14But we're going to catch them up, put them into the Sky Kennel,
0:06:14 > 0:06:18then let them straight out to the sifaka and see what happens.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Lemurs aren't particularly violent.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24You can break them up if there is a fight.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26We'll see what happens.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30What are we going to use to catch them with?
0:06:30 > 0:06:34A net, not very stressful for them cos it is so quick.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39- You get them straight into the box. - And the net won't hurt them.- No.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44It's a soft net. It's just so quick and easy.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49- What do you want me to do?- We've got this box we want to get them into.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Your job is to shut the door once I put them in there
0:06:53 > 0:06:55so they don't get out again.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00OK, go on, then. I'll leave you to get the lemurs, then.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04You've got to be in certain places to get them.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09They do seem nervous. I guess that's because they've just arrived.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13They're so fast.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19You've got one.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30He's safe and sound. He hasn't been hurt.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- This looks stressful but it's not. - Right.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41It's for their own good, as well. They're getting a bigger enclosure.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Almost, Simon.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53There you go!
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Oh!- There you go.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07That was quite a chase. They're in there. They look calm now.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Pretty chilled-out. Not hurt at all.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16Very quick, very easy. Now we can take these to the sifakas.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Brilliant. Let's do it, Simon. Shall I get this side?
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Join us later to see how this mix goes.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Time for Ask The Keeper.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40We're going to ask questions about a very hairy individual.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43I'm not talking keeper Brian Hammer.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47I'm talking about a very cute baby gorilla.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52- Are you ready with your questions? - Yes!- Brian's looking scared!
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Ask your first question.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Gorillas being related to us,
0:08:57 > 0:09:02how smart are they and are they as smart as chimpanzees?
0:09:02 > 0:09:07Pretty clever. They don't apply intelligence as well as chimpanzees.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09They do use tools like chimpanzees.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Yeah, they're pretty clever.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16How many babies can a female have?
0:09:16 > 0:09:21Very occasionally, they have twins, but normally one baby at a time.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Where and how do baby gorillas like to sleep?
0:09:26 > 0:09:31When they're first born they stay with their mum all the time.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- They sleep against her tummy. - How long will they stay there for?
0:09:35 > 0:09:40They maintain contact with their mum till they're four or five months old
0:09:40 > 0:09:45then start venturing off, but still stay very close to Mum
0:09:45 > 0:09:47for two or three years.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49You've got a baby brother.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54- He's only eight weeks old? Does he stay close to your mum?- Yes.
0:09:54 > 0:10:00Soon he'll be walking, stealing all your toys. Then there'll be trouble.
0:10:00 > 0:10:06- How long is a gorilla's lifespan? - It's the same as people. It varies.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Some gorillas live into their 30s, others to their 50s.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Generally, females live longer.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17A male might be late 30s, female late 40s.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20The oldest gorilla I heard of got to 54.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25- Do you think Brian's answered your questions well?- Yeah.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29I think we need to put a bit of pressure on Mr Hammer.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34Brian, just excuse us for a second. Guys, come in here.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41THEY ALL WHISPER
0:10:42 > 0:10:47- Do you think Brian can answer this question?- Yeah.- You do?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- No!- Oh, we've got mixed responses!
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Mr Hammer, we have a question for you.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58We don't want to make it too tough. We think it's pretty easy.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03So, if a gorilla was to go to the gym and lift some weights,
0:11:03 > 0:11:07how much do you think he could lift in kilos?
0:11:12 > 0:11:17That's a very tricky question. Gorillas are a lot stronger than us.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21I've heard a lot of people have different ideas.
0:11:21 > 0:11:27Maybe a gorilla's two or three times as strong as an Olympic weightlifter.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Two or three times as strong as your average person, anyway.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34So, I don't know.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Bench press, maybe 300 kilos? I don't know.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42Stephanie's happy! You're very close, actually, Brian.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46We figured out it would be about 272 kilos.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49So it's pretty good, wasn't it?
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Maybe our Brian's got gorillas that go to his gym!
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Thumbs up or thumbs down for that "gor-illing" for Brian?
0:11:57 > 0:12:02What do you think Brian deserves? Ooh! That's harsh, Stephanie.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06I'm going to make up for Stephanie. Thank you very much, Brian.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09That's mean!
0:12:11 > 0:12:16What do you get if you cross a porcupine with a balloon?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Pop!
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Baa! Baa! Baa!
0:12:21 > 0:12:25What kind of animal is good at maths without practice?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27A cheetah!
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Miaow! Miaow! Miaow!
0:12:31 > 0:12:34What do you call a fish with no eye?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Fsh!
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Right, here we are, Simon.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Earlier on, myself and head keeper Simon had the task
0:12:54 > 0:12:58of transporting these ring tailed lemurs to the sifakas.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02We're ready to see how they mix. What do we do now?
0:13:02 > 0:13:07- Do you want to grab that end? - Yeah. OK.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- Am I allowed to go in with you? - Yeah.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14But not into the actual bedroom. Come into the corridor.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Good luck, Simon.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- Right. Got that end?- Yeah.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Hello, Tao. As you can see, very curious.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31I can't believe how different they look to these lemurs.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Oh, yeah. Lemurs can look very different.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38There's 150-odd species of lemur.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43Anything from lemurs this big to these guys, which are quite big.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- Is their temperament different? - Not really.
0:13:47 > 0:13:53- Lemurs have a good temperament. All lemurs are quite nice.- Right.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Let's get these into here.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02I hope you're going to be good with your new housemates.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05You go back out into the corridor.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07No problem.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12- We'll see inside, initially, before we let them out.- Good luck.
0:14:19 > 0:14:25- They're not sure about each other! - Let them calm down, see each other.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30They're not coming across to chase Tao.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34He's in the corner, a bit unsure of what's going on.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38He's not looking too bad.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43How long does it usually take to mix animals together like this?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Months, years or a couple of days?
0:14:46 > 0:14:51Anything from two or three hours up to two to three months.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53It can go on and on, really.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57I've mixed animals that have been happy after an hour
0:14:57 > 0:15:01and ones that haven't been happy for weeks and weeks.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03How do you think it's going?
0:15:03 > 0:15:08They're sticking together, the ring tailed lemurs.
0:15:08 > 0:15:14- The sifaka seems a bit more relaxed. - There's nothing bad happening here.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17He's just looking at them.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21They're sitting there, seeing their new surroundings.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26We'll give them a while before we let them out.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Touch wood, it's going quite well.
0:15:29 > 0:15:35Good luck with it, Simon. Hopefully, they'll mix and be one big happy family.
0:15:38 > 0:15:44'Back with the seven pallas kittens the park were keeping an eye on.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47'The keepers' fears have come true.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52'Three of Little Man's kittens are terribly ill with toxoplasmosis.
0:15:52 > 0:15:58'The situation is critical and Jane the vet has rushed over to help.'
0:15:58 > 0:16:03The keeper found three kittens lying in the enclosure, not responsive.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Domestic cats catch toxoplasmosis and it doesn't affect them.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12In pallas cats it's nearly always fatal. We don't know why.
0:16:12 > 0:16:18'Jane has to work very quickly to give the kittens the best chance.'
0:16:18 > 0:16:23We're going to take the temperature. I'll grab the first one.
0:16:23 > 0:16:29'If they have a high temperature, it means they are very ill indeed.'
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- 39.- You haven't got a temperature, which is good.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39'Encouraged by their low temperatures,
0:16:39 > 0:16:44'Jane gives the kittens antibiotics to help them fight the infection.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50'It's also important that they keep drinking,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53'so she gives them a syringe of liquid.'
0:16:53 > 0:16:58One is weaker than the other two, but they're all pretty weak.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03They're making the odd growl, but they're wild animals.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05They should be scratching us.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09'To avoid these kittens infecting the rest of the litter,
0:17:09 > 0:17:13'they're moved to a separate intensive care area.'
0:17:13 > 0:17:19That's all we can do. The keepers will check on them regularly.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23I think we'll be lucky if any of them survive the night.
0:17:23 > 0:17:29'The keepers and Jane have done all they can for now.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33'We'll come back later to find out how they're getting on.'
0:17:36 > 0:17:41You, too, can own your very own wildlife park.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Go to the website and log onto the Roar game.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49It's bursting with animals waiting for you to look after them.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53To unlock treats, food and animals, we give you a cheat code every show.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Today, it's:
0:17:56 > 0:17:58You'll love it!
0:18:13 > 0:18:16'Last series, we met and fell in love with
0:18:16 > 0:18:20'one of the most fantastic babies we've seen,
0:18:20 > 0:18:22'this little tubby tapir.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26'We watched him grow and were there for all his key moments -
0:18:26 > 0:18:32'from meeting his dad, to eating solid food, to venturing outside.
0:18:32 > 0:18:38'He's now three months old and look how big the little fellow has got!
0:18:38 > 0:18:42'He's still suckling from Mum but also eating solids.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45'Joel and Helen are going to weigh him
0:18:45 > 0:18:48'to make sure he's growing at a healthy rate.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51'First on the scales, Mum and Dad.'
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Right, guys. I'm here to help.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Who's this?- Wilma, the mum. - Is this the scale?
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Yeah. This wooden board is connected to a read-out there.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06This looks really easy!
0:19:06 > 0:19:09We've had to do it a few times now.
0:19:09 > 0:19:15- We had to train them using food to get them to stand on it.- 282.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18282. That's about normal for Wilma.
0:19:18 > 0:19:23- How often do you weigh her? - We try once a week.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Just to keep tabs on their health.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28It's particularly important for the baby.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32He's at an important stage in his life
0:19:32 > 0:19:35where he's suckling and eating food.
0:19:35 > 0:19:41We have to know he's eating enough and gaining weight at a good rate.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43All right, Tommy!
0:19:43 > 0:19:48Before the slice of bread, and after, if you're like me!
0:19:48 > 0:19:50He's 175.5 kilos.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55That's about normal for Tommy, probably a couple of kilos out.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58That's about right.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Now the little one. Has baby...? Has baby got a name yet?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- Yeah. He's called Diego.- Diego!
0:20:05 > 0:20:11And he was 35 kilos last time, about three weeks ago.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14We'd like to see a bit of a weight gain.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17He's quite tentative coming out.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21There's a gap which he doesn't like.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24You should have a sign, "Please mind the gap."
0:20:24 > 0:20:28He's used to Mum being on it, so he's OK.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Come on, Diego.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Just with a bit of bread, he comes round.
0:20:33 > 0:20:39- It's quite easy to train these guys. They're very friendly.- 49.5 kilos.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Wow!- Is that good?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45It means he's definitely put on weight.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50Nearly 15 kilos in three weeks, which is good.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- Five kilos a week.- That's a lot!
0:20:52 > 0:20:56'That's the same weight as 36 cans of baked beans he's put on
0:20:56 > 0:20:58'in three weeks.'
0:20:58 > 0:21:01He looks good. He doesn't look overweight.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03He's in very good condition.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07He looks scruffy cos he's been in the pond.
0:21:07 > 0:21:13That's great. He's being really active and changing every day.
0:21:13 > 0:21:1515 kilos in three weeks.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20- It won't be long before he's as heavy as Mum and Dad.- That's right.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23At a year old, he'll be two-thirds grown.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27He'll probably be the same size as Tommy.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32- He won't be far off at this rate. - He's looking amazing.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36It's fantastic to see he is gaining weight.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40But how are we gonna get that mud out of his fur?
0:21:40 > 0:21:45- That's for his mum to deal with. - All right, Mum! Your turn!
0:21:50 > 0:21:55'Back at the intensive care area of the pallas cat enclosure,
0:21:55 > 0:21:57'it's the next morning.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01'Jim has come to check on the three desperately ill kittens.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06'Another two have fallen ill with toxoplasmosis.'
0:22:06 > 0:22:08It's heartbreaking,
0:22:08 > 0:22:12but one of those things we were expecting to a degree.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19I'll go and check them and see if they'll take some food.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23'Yesterday, Jane gave three kittens emergency treatment.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26'Jim is hoping there's some improvement.'
0:22:26 > 0:22:31For all I know, fingers crossed they haven't, one or two could have died.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35There they are, look.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39They're all breathing, so that's one good thing.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Let's have a quick look at you.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44How are you feeling, sweetheart?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Are you all right?
0:22:47 > 0:22:52He's looking a little worse for wear but they're still alive.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54That's the main thing.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Just check them all.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59How are you doing?
0:22:59 > 0:23:03You're a little bit worse for wear, ain't you?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06They're weak, but still with us.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11'The kittens are still very ill so it's vital they eat.'
0:23:11 > 0:23:16I'm going to give them meat. It's got medication on it.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Straight away! Dive in there, my boy!
0:23:19 > 0:23:22LAUGHS That's what we like to see.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Do you want that piece of meat? Yes!
0:23:25 > 0:23:29That's a good sign.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34They need this amount of meat every day to try and build some strength.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36They are a bit skinny.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39They're weak, but they're eating.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43'The keepers on the cat section are very worried.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47'They can only wait and see if the babies pull through.'
0:23:47 > 0:23:49It is heartbreaking.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53But we'll do whatever we need to do to get them through.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56OK, kids. We'll see you later.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07'In the enclosure, the remaining pallas kittens are thriving.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11'Jim is monitoring them for signs of illness.'
0:24:12 > 0:24:14There's one.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Here comes the second one.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Looking good. I'm happy with them.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Yeah, I shall leave them to it.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29'It's a great relief that these two are full of life and appear healthy.
0:24:29 > 0:24:36'We'll keep our eye on this pair and update you on the rest of them
0:24:36 > 0:24:38'later in the series.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53We couldn't leave without seeing these two amazing Barbary lions.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57- And their amazing keeper! Hiya, Jess.- Hi.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01This is like something out of a movie. Who have we got here?
0:25:01 > 0:25:05We've got two brothers. Milo and Moonlight.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Milo's here, pacing around.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Is that OK? Is he OK? - He's perfectly fine.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17There are different things going on with all of us here.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21He normally associates us with food. He's just hungry.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26He usually associates you as BEING food or serving food?
0:25:26 > 0:25:31If he associated me with being food, I wouldn't be here.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35- He knows we bring him food. - We talked about two brothers.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40Is it usual or normal for two males to live together in the wild?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42You can see males in the wild.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47Not much is known about Barbary lions. They are extinct in the wild.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52- African lions, you can see up to five males in a pride.- Really?- Yeah.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57- These guys are happy, then? - Yeah. These guys love each other.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02You said they love each other. I noticed a scar on one of them.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Do they have brotherly fights much? - Definitely.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09It's like the last chocolate bar at home.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Whenever there's food, they act like brothers and squabble.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18Although Moonlight's bigger, Milo is always first to the food.
0:26:18 > 0:26:24Two brothers, but will they be wanting to start their own families?
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Because they are Barbary lions, they're very important.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31We hope that they will go to another park.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36We don't have space to breed them but hopefully they'll go together.
0:26:36 > 0:26:42They're a good team. Moonlight is more confident when Milo's around.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Hopefully, they'll go to a female in another park.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51He's standing to attention, trying to tell us to get out of here!
0:26:51 > 0:26:57Why don't you guys check out what's on the next episode of Roar?
0:26:59 > 0:27:04'Keepers are planning to mix two animals with the shortest tempers.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07'What could possibly go wrong?
0:27:07 > 0:27:12'And find out what is making our twin Roar rangers laugh so much.'
0:27:12 > 0:27:14LAUGHING
0:27:16 > 0:27:18'Plus, dinner is served!
0:27:18 > 0:27:24'Surely Johny's not eating them. That's all on the next Roar.'
