0:00:02 > 0:00:05Today on Roar, to catch three wild dogs,
0:00:05 > 0:00:08the vet and a keeper must go inside their enclosure
0:00:08 > 0:00:13and that's a dangerous move because these guys are absolutely deadly.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- Hello and welcome to Roar. I'm Johny.- And I'm Rani.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45These guys are the fabulous family of red river hogs.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49We've got Mum, Dad and their three infants who are over a year old.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54Wow! When red river hogs are born, they're covered in stripes,
0:00:54 > 0:00:58so they can easily be camouflaged amongst the dense undergrowth.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02It's true. They sort of resemble brown watermelons with legs.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- What?- It's a good look.
0:01:04 > 0:01:10We've got loads of juicy facts for you today, so let's get on with it.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Coming up on Roar, they might look like pussy cats,
0:01:14 > 0:01:18but there's nothing tame about the Scottish wild cats.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Our Roar Rangers love the lemurs.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24The lemurs might come up... It's OK.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Are they brave enough for a close encounter?
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Quinto the new male rhino was getting on great with the girls.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Then he attacked them. So what went wrong?
0:01:40 > 0:01:46But now, how do you move some of the most lethal killers in the park,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48three African hunting dogs?
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Out in the wild, when a pack of hunting dogs start a chase,
0:01:53 > 0:01:57four out of five times they catch what they're after.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00They can run at over 65 kilometres per hour.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05They work as a team and they've got very sharp teeth,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08but they're also an endangered species.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12At the park, the keepers have worked hard to encourage them to breed
0:02:12 > 0:02:16and over the years, they've raised over 20 pups.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20But while this park has more dogs than they know what to do with,
0:02:20 > 0:02:24at their sister park 15 miles away, they don't have any at all.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28So, today, three young brothers are going to be caught here
0:02:28 > 0:02:30and moved there,
0:02:30 > 0:02:34but their keeper Rich Barnes knows there could be trouble.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37These three are a little bit full-on.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41They're quite confident and they like to give us a bit of a run-around.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45They keep you on your toes, they've always been together.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49They know each other, what they're able to do, they know what they are,
0:02:49 > 0:02:53so they just want to test you a bit and see what it's like, really.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58But now Jane the vet has arrived, so it's time to begin the move.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02The dogs are so dangerous, the only way to do it
0:03:02 > 0:03:05is to tranquillise them with a dart gun.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13While Rich distracts the dogs, Jane's gone round the side.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19The canvas cloth was put up earlier especially to hide her.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21DART GUN FIRES
0:03:21 > 0:03:25That is bang on target. Jane is one of the best shots in the business.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31But now the dogs are suspicious, they're hanging back.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Don't just run off with a Christmas tree! Come on!
0:03:35 > 0:03:37So Rich is taking a dangerous step.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41He's going inside the enclosure to encourage them forward.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45HE TAPS STICK
0:03:47 > 0:03:50What's this? SHE FIRES GUN
0:03:50 > 0:03:53That's the second dart and again bang on target!
0:03:56 > 0:03:59The first two are getting wobbly on their feet
0:03:59 > 0:04:02and Richard's gone after the third.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Ooh, getting confident now! Come on then. Come on then.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Come on. He's following me down.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Come on.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Come on!
0:04:16 > 0:04:20But this one is no fool. He's not coming anywhere near Jane.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Do you want to just come in? You might just get a better shot.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28So Jane is going inside the enclosure,
0:04:28 > 0:04:32but if the last dog feels trapped and cornered,
0:04:32 > 0:04:37it could become very dangerous, so whatever you do, don't go away.
0:04:40 > 0:04:46It's been a year since we had one of these here - a baby black rhino.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49The problem was they needed a new male,
0:04:49 > 0:04:53so recently, they brought in Quinto to help.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57But introducing boy and girl rhinos can be a tricky business,
0:04:57 > 0:04:59so at first, the keepers arranged
0:04:59 > 0:05:03for Quinto to meet two of the females through a fence.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06He was definitely interested in the girls,
0:05:06 > 0:05:10but at the same time, he was a bit frightened of them.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15You can see that Quinto is quite nervous.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19His tail is up in the air and his muscles are tensing and shaking.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23And it's a sign that he is quite nervous.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27That's worrying because when a male rhino gets nervous,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30his natural reaction is to attack.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35However, it did look as if romance was in the air.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39But when Quinto was later released into the girls' field,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42it all went horribly wrong.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48I've heard Quinto the rhino hasn't been behaving himself recently,
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- so I'm meeting keeper Shelley to see what's going on. Hiya.- Hello.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56He seems calm and sweet as anything just now.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59We wanted to introduce him to two females.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03They were quite young females, they've never been bred from before.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07He just didn't quite know how to react and he got a bit nervous.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12He kind of vented it in aggression, so we're going for Plan B now.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14What's that? Ooh!
0:06:14 > 0:06:19Like I said, the two females weren't experienced with males before,
0:06:19 > 0:06:22so when he got aggressive towards them,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25they'd run off and were instantly scared of him.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30So we'll introduce him to another female who we've bred from before.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- She knows the score... - I think he wants this!
0:06:33 > 0:06:35She's used to mixing with males,
0:06:35 > 0:06:39and hopefully, by her being confident with him,
0:06:39 > 0:06:42it'll rub off on him and he'll lose some of his nervousness.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45We've got loads of food for him.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Does he normally get this much attention? Is he being a bit spoilt?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52He is, yeah. The more we can make him trust us,
0:06:52 > 0:06:56hopefully, when we mix him, he'll be a bit more confident with us there
0:06:56 > 0:07:01and hopefully, he'll get rid of these nerves that he's got.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05So, if he is again quite aggressive towards her, what will happen then?
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Will you have to say Quinto will not have little ones for a while?
0:07:09 > 0:07:14No, hopefully, she'll stand her ground and her being more confident
0:07:14 > 0:07:16will make him behave differently
0:07:16 > 0:07:19and break that cycle of him being nervous.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22If all fails and they're not getting on,
0:07:22 > 0:07:26we've still got other females that are waiting for him,
0:07:26 > 0:07:30so we'll probably go to Plan C and introduce him to another female.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Is it really important to get more rhino babies here at the park?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37That's our main goal - to breed black rhinos.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39The more we can breed, the better.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43By giving him loads of browse, we'll keep him happy
0:07:43 > 0:07:46and fingers crossed, we'll get more babies.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Let's go and get some more browse for him. He deserves it.- Yes.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57What kind of bees hum and drop things?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00A fumble-bee. Bzzzzz!
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Miaow!
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Miaow!
0:08:03 > 0:08:07The teacher said, "Name me six wild animals."
0:08:07 > 0:08:11The pupil then said, "Four elephants and two lions."
0:08:11 > 0:08:16Raargh! Quack, quack, quack! Raargh! Quack, quack, quack!
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- There were two fish in a tank. - Really?- Yeah.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23One turned to the other and said, "How do you drive this thing?"
0:08:23 > 0:08:26SHE CACKLES
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Rich and Jane the vet are now inside the enclosure
0:08:32 > 0:08:36of the three African hunting dogs who need to be moved today.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42The first two have been darted, but the third dog is still on the loose.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44That's the one that hasn't been darted
0:08:44 > 0:08:49and the one that you darted first is just down there behind the bush.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54Jane gets into position while Rich drives dog three into an ambush.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58The hunting dog has become the hunted.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03But he's clever and he's keeping his distance.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Meanwhile, the other two dogs have now fallen asleep,
0:09:07 > 0:09:09so Rich is bringing them out.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Before they go in their travel boxes,
0:09:13 > 0:09:18vet nurse Kerry will do a health check and some routine treatments.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20That's it.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Keepers Chris and Jess are here to help.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27That slab he's on is actually a set of scales,
0:09:27 > 0:09:30so they can weigh the dogs.
0:09:30 > 0:09:3128.95.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35I'm just vaccinating this one and giving him a worming injection.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40It's nice to do all these things while we've got them here.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44When the health check is done, he goes in his travel box on the van.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Here comes Rich with dog two and Jane has now darted the third dog,
0:09:52 > 0:09:56but they will have to leave him in the enclosure for a few minutes
0:09:56 > 0:10:00while the tranquilliser takes effect.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Kerry takes a blood sample in case it's needed for tests
0:10:05 > 0:10:08and checks the dog's deadly weapons.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Beautiful teeth. They're perfect. There's no problems with them at all.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16There's no tartar that you might see in domestic dogs.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18I wouldn't want to be bitten by them!
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Here at last is the third and final dog.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27This one needed extra tranquilliser drug to send him to sleep.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33With the final health checks done, the last dog can go in the van.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36The crates have been prepared
0:10:36 > 0:10:40with a thick layer of shredded paper in the bottom to keep them comfy.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45That went very well. We were worried because it's quite a big enclosure,
0:10:45 > 0:10:49so I thought we might be running around for longer than we were.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53They've all had their health checks, they're all in their crates now,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56all waking up really well, so I'm very pleased.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00But this is just the start of the adventure for the three boys
0:11:00 > 0:11:04because very soon they'll be arriving at their new home.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Our Roar Rangers today are James and Emily from Essex.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22They're nine years old and twins.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26My favourite animals have to be lemurs because I like their howls.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29These twins are both great dancers,
0:11:29 > 0:11:33but are they both going to be great keepers?
0:11:33 > 0:11:38She won't be good at shovelling up the poo cos she isn't strong enough.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44But now, which animal will they be looking after?
0:11:44 > 0:11:48"Emily and James, today you are primate keepers.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50"Which one is your favourite?"
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- It might be a lemur. They're my favourite animals.- You never know.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58BOTH: It might be a lemur!
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Yes, it is. The twins will be getting up close
0:12:02 > 0:12:05with the black-and-white ruffed lemurs.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10They come from Madagascar, an island off the coast of Africa.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13The species is critically endangered
0:12:13 > 0:12:16because there aren't many left in the wild.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Here in the park, there's a group of six.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23And keeper Adam could do with some help to look after them.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Hi, James. Nice to meet you, Emily. I'm Adam.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28I've heard that you like lemurs.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Yeah, they're my favourite.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35We'll do a bit of cleaning and I can show you behind the scenes.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Then we'll have a treat for you, but I won't tell you what that is yet.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Let's go and do some work.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46The lemurs have a large enclosure which they love to race about in,
0:12:46 > 0:12:50but they also have a shed where they shelter from the weather,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53sleep at night and use as a toilet.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Right, so we're going to just clear up a bit inside.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02First of all, we need to put on these gloves. Try and slip those on.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04This is Cyclone. This is Ren.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08That's Quaver next door.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11This one going through is the boss. That's Grunge.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15How is she the boss? She's just a bit more aggressive.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17They know not to mess about with her.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21In any group of lemurs, the girls are in charge.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24They're bigger and boss the boys.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28So we'll pick up in here quickly, just to make sure it's all clean.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30If we go in then...
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Eugh! That is stinky!
0:13:32 > 0:13:36That's it. If you push it up against the wall... That's it.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Get your hands dirty.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Nice one. Put it in the bag here. That's it.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Just like Emily and James, lemurs are usually born as twins.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52In this group of six, there are two sets of twins -
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Rock and Grunge who are ten and Breve and Quaver who are nine.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Right, guys, you've done really well.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04I'll get some food and we can do some hand-feeding.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- Are you up for that? - Yeah.- OK, we'll do that.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11You can only hand-feed a lemur if you're with a keeper,
0:14:11 > 0:14:16so this will be something special, though the twins are worried.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19I might be scared, but I don't know yet.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22You don't know if they'll take it off you.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26So, feeding the lemurs is not only a treat. It's also a challenge.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31And we'll soon find out if our Roar Ranger twins are up for it.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42The parks have a wide range of cats from the tiger to the pallas cat,
0:14:42 > 0:14:45from the cheetah to the ocelot.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48But of all the wild cats in the world,
0:14:48 > 0:14:51there's only one kind that comes from Britain -
0:14:51 > 0:14:54the Scottish wild cat.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58I've come to help keeper Steve do a bit of gardening in their enclosure.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03In this little tub here, we've got some seeds.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06We'll plant some of these. These produce grass.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- Why grass?- Grass is quite important for a few reasons.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14One - it contains a vitamin called folic acid,
0:15:14 > 0:15:20which is very beneficial for producing red blood cells,
0:15:20 > 0:15:23which prevents them from getting anaemia.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25But there's another beneficiary
0:15:25 > 0:15:29and that's cats like to cough up furballs,
0:15:29 > 0:15:32so eating grass disturbs their stomach enough
0:15:32 > 0:15:35that they can regurgitate their furballs.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39I thought that was a bit of a Mickey Mouse problem. Can it be serious?
0:15:39 > 0:15:43It's genuinely something that cats have to do.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45They eat a lot of small prey.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50Scottish wild cats would hunt small voles and mice, that kind of thing.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52The fur isn't really very beneficial
0:15:52 > 0:15:56and is quite difficult to digest for some of their prey,
0:15:56 > 0:16:00so what they then do is eat a bit of grass, it upsets their stomach
0:16:00 > 0:16:05and they can bring it up and this doesn't cause them any problems.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09There's a few reasons why grass is important.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- I think I can see one of them up there.- Yes, Iona.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16She looks pretty much the same as your regular cat.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18What makes her a Scottish wild cat?
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- That's where we got domestic cats from - from wild cats.- Wow!
0:16:22 > 0:16:25So they do look a lot like your domestic cat.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28It would be hard to tell the difference.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32These guys are one of the most endangered species at the park.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35There's only 400 or so left in the wild.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39They do look like regular cats. Could you have them as pets?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42I wouldn't recommend it.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45They don't have the same temperament, really, as a pet cat.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48They can be quite aggressive.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Although they're the same size, they haven't been domesticated,
0:16:52 > 0:16:56so they're not used to people as much as the cats you find in a pet shop.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01Now you tell me they're aggressive. Quickly, let's get this grass out!
0:17:07 > 0:17:12Stand by, gamers. Here's what you've been waiting for - "wood23".
0:17:12 > 0:17:16That's today's cheat code to help you look after your animals
0:17:16 > 0:17:18in the Roar online game.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23If you haven't tried it out yet, you really should give it a go.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27It's on the CBBC website and it's probably the easiest way
0:17:27 > 0:17:30to get your very own wild animal park. Happy gaming!
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Our Roar Ranger twins are about
0:17:42 > 0:17:46to feed the black-and-white ruffed lemurs by hand.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50They're a little worried about it because they might look cute,
0:17:50 > 0:17:55but up close, these primates are big and they're bold.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Adam is showing how to feed them.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01If you hold it like that, the lemurs might come up... It's OK, it's OK.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05It might take your hand with its hand and pull it towards their mouth,
0:18:05 > 0:18:10- but they're not trying to hurt you. They just want to get the food.- OK.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I'll pass the food to you, then they can take it off you.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18Make your way down there. Nothing to be scared of. They won't hurt you.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23They're not going to hurt you. That's fine. If we go down this way...
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Go up to this one. Just keep your hand still. A bit closer...
0:18:27 > 0:18:30That's it. Very good. EMILY GIGGLES
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Let's get him off there.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Have a go. Keep your hand nice and still.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Don't worry. He won't hurt you. Very good.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43These lemurs are being kept in a walk-through enclosure,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46so they're used to being around people,
0:18:46 > 0:18:50but this is the first time Emily and James have been so close
0:18:50 > 0:18:52to so many lemurs.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Have another go. She's the old female. She's calm. A bit higher.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Keep it still.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- Very good. They're nice and gentle.- Yeah.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Do you want to try some banana?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Take one more bit. You try these two up here, James.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Choose one each there.
0:19:09 > 0:19:14That's it... He's going to take it straight off you. Very good.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18They're impatient. Yes, because they're very hungry.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21They may be hungry, but they rarely snatch.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25They've got very good manners and the twins have got used to them now.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- That's all the food they're getting for now. Was that really good?- Yeah.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33I'm glad you enjoyed it. Really soft and gentle, aren't they?
0:19:33 > 0:19:37After a feed, this bunch usually go for a snooze.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42- I think I might become a lemur keeper when I'm older.- Good one.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45It's my favourite animal, so it's my...
0:19:45 > 0:19:48< You both can be one. That's OK.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- Yeah.- Together.- Twin keepers.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- I hope you had a nice time. - Thank you, Adam.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Thanks, James. Thanks, Emily.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01It was the best day ever cos I got to look after my favourite animal.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05It was cool and magical and brilliant. I just loved it!
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Picnics have to be one of my favourite pastimes -
0:20:25 > 0:20:29the great outdoors with all the fresh air and a lovely, tasty snack!
0:20:31 > 0:20:37Liam, I was hoping for tasty snacks like sandwiches, not green beans.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39What's going on here?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42This is a midday feed for a big group of Javan langurs,
0:20:42 > 0:20:45so lots of greens there which they love.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48It's not that bad. It's nice, fresh and crisp.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52We're going to set this food out for them. They're all indoors.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- Hungrily waiting.- So they are waiting for their food?- Definitely.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- We'd better move quickly.- Yeah. - How shall I do this?
0:21:00 > 0:21:03If we scatter a bit on a couple of these platforms.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07There's a lot of them, so it's important that we spread it around.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11- You work on these two platforms.- OK. - And we'll move around the enclosure.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- Yes, boss!- That's the way we like it.- I'll do as I'm told.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20We have scattered the Javan langurs' veggies all around their enclosure.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24All we've got to do is wait for them to come out with their napkins on
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- and enjoy their tasty lunch.- Yeah.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Here they come, here they come! - Yeah.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35I love watching them bound around. They're so light on their feet.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Yeah, definitely.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40So, all these trees, do any of them ever go to the top?
0:21:40 > 0:21:44I'm looking right to the top of the canopy. Is there anyone up there?
0:21:44 > 0:21:49There's no-one up there just now because the food is on the platforms,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52but they move around the trees like anyone's business.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56They go up to the top and the mid levels, towards the bottom.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59They can see around the whole park.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04You've got quite a few little ones in here. How many have you got?
0:22:04 > 0:22:08There's about four youngsters in here. There's 17 animals in total.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11There's four if you say "babies", maybe a year old,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14around that age, the youngest we've got in here.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17That's great. Are these endangered?
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Yeah, these guys are quite endangered in the wild.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25It's mainly due to the places where they live in the wild in Java.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Hardly any of their habitat is left.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31It's fantastic that you're able to breed them.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34They're bounding around, so they must be happy.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Or it could be the way I laid out their fruit and veg so delicately.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- What do you think?- They definitely look chuffed with that.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46- Could I be a chef to the Javan langurs?- I reckon so.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Liam, I've definitely enjoyed it. Thank you so much.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53The three African hunting dogs
0:22:53 > 0:22:57are about to face the next challenge in their big move.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00They've arrived at their sister park
0:23:00 > 0:23:04and it's up to the keeper in charge of the carnivores here, Jim Vassey,
0:23:04 > 0:23:07to make sure they get settled into their new enclosure
0:23:07 > 0:23:09without anyone getting hurt.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16Inside the travel crates, two dogs are coming round from the sedatives,
0:23:16 > 0:23:19but one of them is still asleep.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23One of my biggest problems is that they don't come around from sedation.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27That's always a worry. You've got to get the mixture of the drugs correct.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30It's a very fine balance between getting it right and wrong.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34So Jim's keeping a close eye on all three of them.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38He's very experienced with African hunting dogs.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40They're one of his favourites.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Hunting dogs are great characters,
0:23:43 > 0:23:47so we're glad that we've got three new ones back.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50We've to get to know them. They have to get to know us.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54But they can't start getting to know them quite yet.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57They're completely wobbly on their feet.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00And one's more asleep than the other two.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04If we let them out now, the two that are more awake
0:24:04 > 0:24:07will attack the one that's asleep,
0:24:07 > 0:24:11so we'll make sure that they're fully around before we let them out.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15It's strange to think that these dogs might attack their own brother
0:24:15 > 0:24:17who they grew up with.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20But in the wild, they can be vicious
0:24:20 > 0:24:24and their instinct is to attack first and ask questions later.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31But after an hour, all three dogs are awake
0:24:31 > 0:24:36and the big moment is here. They'll go into a small enclosure first
0:24:36 > 0:24:40while they get used to the place and Jim is taking no chances.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43It's always possible they will attack us,
0:24:43 > 0:24:47but we'll do it in such a way that they won't have the option.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51We're going to do it as safe as possible for us and for them.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55A sliding hatch leads to the small enclosure,
0:24:55 > 0:24:59so they just have to line up the travel crate, then open the doors.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03There's one.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- Good boy.- There's two.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11And that's three.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Nice one.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19They've all come out, they're all awake, which is good news.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24It's always great looking after new animals, so yeah, I'm very happy.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Yeah, we've got three nice-looking boys.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Before we leave you today,
0:25:51 > 0:25:55we thought, why don't you have a sneaky look at the red pandas
0:25:55 > 0:25:59because they're so gorgeous and we thought we'd give them a treat?
0:25:59 > 0:26:03- That's all right, Nev?- Absolutely. - Thank you so much.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06They are so cute. Who have we got here?
0:26:06 > 0:26:10This is Lai-Yi and just above you there is Wing-Wah.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13We're giving these guys some bamboo today.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Is this their favourite tree and they eat this predominantly?
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Yeah, bamboo makes up the main part of their diet.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Both here and in the wild.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26But they do like other things as well.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29In captivity, they get different fruits and veg.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33- Nice.- And the odd mouse as well.- Eugh!
0:26:33 > 0:26:37This just looks like glorified grass.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- They can't get much nutrition from this?- Bamboo is poor in nutrition.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44That's why they eat a lot of it
0:26:44 > 0:26:49and they tend to be quite slow-moving animals for that reason.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52They'll not leap about the trees like monkeys do.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54They'll do everything slowly.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Nev, thank you for letting us get so close to these amazing animals.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- I think she's going off for a snooze now.- I don't blame her.
0:27:02 > 0:27:07Why not check out what's coming up on the next episode of Roar?
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Leon the zebra has been fighting and kicking the other animals,
0:27:12 > 0:27:17so now the keepers must catch him because he's got to go.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21The last seven baby red pandas they had here all died young,
0:27:21 > 0:27:24so we'll find out how the new one's doing.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29And fancy a swim in an icy pool?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32The tiger cubs do and we're going to discover why.
