0:00:01 > 0:00:05Today on Roar: Lidana the tapir is very ill.
0:00:05 > 0:00:09The keepers and the vet are doing all they can, but will it be enough?
0:00:35 > 0:00:39- Hello! Welcome to Roar! I'm Rani. - And I'm Johny.
0:00:39 > 0:00:44- And this is Brig...the rhino.- Yes, Johny, you do well to question that.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48He's called a rhino iguana because of the horn on the top of his nose!
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Right, so you could call him then a rhi-guana!
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Yeah, or you could stick to rhino iguana
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- and we could get on with the show. - Probably right.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Rhi-guana!
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Coming up on Roar:
0:01:02 > 0:01:06I'll be trying to get the elephants interested in a game of footie,
0:01:06 > 0:01:08and finding out if they've got ticklish feet!
0:01:09 > 0:01:15I meet the world's smallest monkey, the microscopic mini marmoset.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18And fancy a sniff? It's "boot-iful"!
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Rani's not keen!
0:01:21 > 0:01:23But what does Marta the snow leopard think?
0:01:28 > 0:01:33First, we're going to the Malayan tapir house because Lidana is sick.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37She's mum and grandma to many of the other tapirs here
0:01:37 > 0:01:39and one of the park's best-loved animals.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Head keeper Bob Saville is very worried.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46This is Lidana. She's 20 years old.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49She was born at the park.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53About three weeks ago, she started getting quite fussy about her food.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56This went on and on and the situation got worse and worse.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00So we took some bloods and unfortunately
0:02:00 > 0:02:05it showed she's suffering from liver and kidney failure at the moment.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Potentially, it's terminal.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10But hopefully it won't be.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14The last blood test we had said it possibly is reversible still.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18So we're doing everything we can, aren't we, eh?
0:02:18 > 0:02:22That's the cameraman again. Yes, you're back on Roar.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Yes.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Liver and kidney failure
0:02:26 > 0:02:29is what happens when those organs stop working properly.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33It's a serious problem that sometimes affects very old animals.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36But once in a while, it can happen to younger ones, too.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Although she's a grandma,
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Lidana isn't elderly.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43She's 20 and tapirs often live to about 30.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45So this is just very bad luck.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Now she needs a lot of medicine
0:02:52 > 0:02:54and Bob gets it ready as a liquid.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01The easiest thing is to squirt it down their throat with a syringe.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04You'll know, any of you with dogs and cats
0:03:04 > 0:03:06if you try to put wormer tablets down their throat
0:03:06 > 0:03:09they spit them out. Trying to do that with a tapir,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12with all this medication she's getting,
0:03:12 > 0:03:17this is much the safest way. Then we know she's actually getting it.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Medicine isn't the only thing Lidana has from a syringe.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Because of her condition, the kidney and liver failure,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29we liquidise her food and syringe it into her mouth.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Then we know she's getting it.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34It was a few years ago when we first met Lidana.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38She'd just had a baby named Tengui.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41She's had six babies altogether,
0:03:41 > 0:03:44which is close to the record for breeding in captivity.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47She's also got over a dozen grandchildren.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49The latest one here is Kopash,
0:03:49 > 0:03:51who we followed last year.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56But now Grandma is so ill, she could die.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58There's a good girl! Yes!
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Like all patients, she has her good days and her bad days.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06But overall she's a very good patient.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09I'm sure some of our tapirs could be more troublesome!
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Good girl!
0:04:15 > 0:04:17This has got some apple in it.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Apple is good for you.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22You know, it's not nice doing this
0:04:22 > 0:04:26but if we didn't do it, she wouldn't be eating or drinking.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29She would deteriorate very rapidly.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Nearly done!
0:04:32 > 0:04:34It might look a bit undignified,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37but I assure you, if Lidana didn't want this food,
0:04:37 > 0:04:40she would shut her mouth and you wouldn't be able to do it.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44At least this way we're keeping her alive, keeping her stable.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45She's not suffering.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Get up, then, darling.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49There's a good girl!
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Are you getting up?
0:04:51 > 0:04:52There.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58It would be good for her to eat some solid food,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01so Bob's got her favourite twigs and fresh hay.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03But she's just picking at it.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07She's like us when we've got the flu.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11We're not sure what we want, or whether we're coming or going.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Bob's been working with Lidana for over 18 years
0:05:15 > 0:05:17and he's doing everything he can.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Today he's also keeping his fingers crossed.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23We took a blood test from her yesterday.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26We're getting the results back today.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Hopefully, that will be good news.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32When those blood test results come back,
0:05:32 > 0:05:36we'll find out if Lidana is getting better or getting worse.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48A new kind of monkey has recently arrived in the Discovery Zone.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Rani, who has all the luck,
0:05:51 > 0:05:52has gone to find out more.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Right, I have to say I am really excited now
0:05:56 > 0:05:59because I'm in the Discovery Zone to meet two animals
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I've never, ever seen before.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06These are the smallest monkeys in the world, the pygmy marmosets.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- I'm with Jess. Hiya, Jess.- Hi!
0:06:08 > 0:06:11I'm really excited. Where are these tiny, tiny monkeys?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Just in this enclosure here.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Oh, look! There's just one here.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19They're not monkeys!
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- Yeah!- Are they really?- Yeah.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24They're absolutely fantastic. We've never seen these before.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26It's a first for me.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Tell me a bit about the pygmy marmoset.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32These guys, like you said, are the smallest monkey.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36They have several different adaptations. They have special teeth
0:06:36 > 0:06:39that help them get gum out of trees.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- Like chewing gum?- Not quite!
0:06:41 > 0:06:43It's like the sap that comes off trees.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- Right.- They have a special tooth to engrave holes out of trees
0:06:47 > 0:06:49to get the sap out of it.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51OK, tell me what you want me to do.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Take that syringe for me.- Right.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Put some gum into there. Draw it back in the gum.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- It should come up.- Pull it in?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- No, pull it out.- Obviously I haven't done this before!
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- More?- That should be enough. We'll put loads more in.- OK.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Then you squirt it in the holes.- OK.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I'll squeeze it in. Tell me more about them.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Where are they from, in the world?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17They're from various parts of South America. They live in the canopy.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20They don't tend to come down much.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25They'll find a tree, then hollow it out until all the sap is gone.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Obviously they do this over weeks and things.- Right.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Then they move on to another tree with a high level of sap.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Something as little as that, they can't eat much.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- How much do they weigh?- 100 grams,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40about the same size as a satsuma!
0:07:40 > 0:07:43What else do they eat, apart from sap?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- You can't just survive on sap. - No, not at all.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49We give them fruit as well as sap.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54Various fruits - they have mangoes, passion fruit, satsumas.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Quite posh, then!- Yes, they eat lots of fancy fruit.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02As the pygmy marmosets are new arrivals to Roar,
0:08:02 > 0:08:06we've placed a little bracket there on the logs.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09We'll place a camera in there later on.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14So when we place the log inside their enclosure with the sap,
0:08:14 > 0:08:16we'll see them nice and close. When they go...
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Drinking all the sap. Is that how they do it?
0:08:19 > 0:08:24No? We'll wait till later and see how they do it.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26I think it'll be like that.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37There was two monkeys sitting in a bath. One goes, "Oo-oo, ah-ah!"
0:08:37 > 0:08:41The other one says, "If it's too hot for you, put some cold in."
0:08:42 > 0:08:45IMITATES PANTING DOG
0:08:45 > 0:08:50What animal goes, "Green, green, green, green, green, green"?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53A frog going down a hole. Ribbit! Ribbit!
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Wheeee!
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Why did the elephant wear sneakers?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01To sneak up on mice!
0:09:05 > 0:09:10Lidana, the Malayan tapir, is very ill with liver and kidney failure.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15Now the park's vet, Jane Hopper, has arrived to check on her
0:09:15 > 0:09:18and to see head keeper, Bob Saville.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Jane, do we have the results of the blood test?- I'm afraid we do.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I'm afraid it's not good news.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Her blood values have all got quite a bit worse,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32especially her kidney values.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36It does now look as if her kidneys are failing.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Unfortunately, despite all the medication she's been getting,
0:09:39 > 0:09:43and all the care she's received, things are getting worse.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Apart from the medication she's already on,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48there's nothing extra we can particularly do.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- So it's not good news at all.- Right.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54It's the worst possible result.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Oh, dear.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Lidana is dying.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03When it does start to deteriorate, will it be rapid or gradual?
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I think it might be quite rapid when it happens.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Again, each case is different.- Yeah.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11She's certainly fighting it very well.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- I don't think she's suffering at the moment.- No.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22It's very frustrating that despite everything we're doing for Lidana,
0:10:22 > 0:10:24and the keepers are doing a fantastic job,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27that she's getting worse. So yeah, it's very sad.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31We'll focus on keeping her happy and comfortable as long as we can.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Bad news travels fast.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39A little later, keepers Mike and Simon have come to visit.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43No-one knows how long Lidana is going to last,
0:10:43 > 0:10:46so this could be their last goodbye.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I don't think it's properly sunk in.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54The problem is, because she's had a lot of different illnesses,
0:10:54 > 0:10:57we just expect her to get over it, like normal.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I suppose the body's had enough.
0:11:02 > 0:11:09When I first met Lidana, she was a very active, healthy animal.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13She loved attention, she was great fun to be around and work with.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18So I think when I remember her, that will be the way I'll do it.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Out in the paddock in the summer, with Tengui, her last baby.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Running around looking incredibly proud of her youngster.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28And just being an all-round brilliant tapir.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30That's how I'll remember her.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Poor Lidana.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37Mum, grandma, and all-round brilliant tapir.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Now all the keepers can do is make sure she's comfortable.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Skill! Skill! Johny! Johny Pitts!
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Passes it to Jums! Jums - pass!
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Jums? You big hogger! You'll never be a Wayne Rooney!
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Honestly! Sometimes, elephants like games.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14We've put a football in the paddock to see what Jums makes of it.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Hi, Angela!- Hi!- Is it true they play with the football?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20They like a game every now and then.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23We put things in the paddock to keep them stimulated.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25We've tried a football today to see what he does.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- We've got Jums here, who's like the big boss, really.- Yes.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33He's the dad. He's not playing with our football at the moment,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36but we can talk about their feet. They're amazing.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38An elephant actually walks on its tip-toes.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Its bones are like that with fatty tissue underneath.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45It's like a gigantic cushion which helps support their weight.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47The underneath of their foot is flat
0:12:47 > 0:12:50but it's got grooves for the tread
0:12:50 > 0:12:51so it's like a trainer!
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Are their feet sensitive?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Really sensitive. They do a lot of feeling with their feet.
0:12:56 > 0:13:02If there's a calf lying on the floor, they feel with their feet
0:13:02 > 0:13:07or any unusual item, they use their feet to brush against it
0:13:07 > 0:13:09to see what it is. They pick up a lot.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Are their feet ticklish, then?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15They may well be. The youngsters put their feet on the steelwork
0:13:15 > 0:13:18and like to have a pat on the feet. It feels nice.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Nice. He's not really had a go with the football.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Maybe his feet are too sensitive. Maybe he needs football boots!
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Good idea!
0:13:36 > 0:13:41Our Roar Rangers today are Laura and Caitlin from Leeds.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44They're ten years old and they're twins.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51These cheerful cheerleaders know all about looking after cats.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54They've got a pet one called Tilly at home.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57But will that help them today?
0:14:04 > 0:14:09- I'm pleased it's monkeys!- Me, too. - I've never met one before.- Nor me.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- BOTH:- We're going to be monkey-keepers!
0:14:12 > 0:14:17And this is the kind of monkey they're going to help with.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19The Diana monkeys.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Here comes their keeper, Mel Frampton.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Hi, I'm Caitlin.- I'm Laura.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Hello, I'm Mel. You guys are going to help me clean out some monkeys.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- Yeah.- Are you ready?- Yeah.- Come on, then. Let's get some stuff.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34The Diana monkeys have their own house
0:14:34 > 0:14:36that has to be cleaned out every day.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Do you want to come in, girls?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41All the Dianas are locked outside,
0:14:41 > 0:14:44except for one, the young male named Keymon.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48When he was born last year, he was rejected by his mum.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51He had to be hand-reared by the keepers.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Since then, Keymon's been very friendly.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- This is Keymon.- He's cute! - Really cute.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Good boy!
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Shall I put him down and we'll get on with some cleaning.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07The first thing is to wash down the platforms.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12It smells!
0:15:14 > 0:15:20It's a little bit like cleaning the dishes at home.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25This is quite hard work to hold the broom.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29- I think I got the really easy job! - It's not fair!
0:15:29 > 0:15:31I got the hard job.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34I thought it would be easy, but it isn't.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36But when the dirty work's done,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39there's time to get to know Keymon a little better.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Hello!
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Come and say hello to the girls.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46He's really soft!
0:15:46 > 0:15:51- He is. Is it softer than you thought it would be?- Yeah.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Keymon may seem friendly,
0:15:53 > 0:15:56but all animals can be dangerous.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00So Laura and Caitlin can only stroke him because they're with Mel.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04It's really cuddly, stroking a monkey.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Really happy.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08This is how monkeys groom.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11They go through the fur like that
0:16:11 > 0:16:14and when they find bits, they eat it - but we won't!
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Give him a little groom.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18That's it.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23He likes that, look. That would be friendly. He's chatting now.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Nice, happy noises. He's enjoying that.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29You must be a very good monkey groomer!
0:16:30 > 0:16:35- Really cute.- This is also a nice way of keeping friends
0:16:35 > 0:16:36in monkey groups as well.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Friends groom each other like this.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40It looks like he's got a beard.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42He's got a little white beard.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46He's doing it to me now, cos you're doing it to him.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I think he's definitely enjoyed your visit, girls.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51MEWING
0:16:51 > 0:16:53He's said it himself!
0:16:54 > 0:16:57While Keymon's been inside, getting all the attention,
0:16:57 > 0:17:02the rest of the troupe have been outside getting hungry.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05So, can the Roar Rangers make friends with them, too?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08We'll find out later on.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Back up in the Discovery Zone,
0:17:12 > 0:17:16we're about to get a close look at the world's smallest monkeys,
0:17:16 > 0:17:18the pygmy marmosets.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Jess is hanging up a little mini log filled with tree sap
0:17:24 > 0:17:26in the pygmy marmosets' enclosure.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30Earlier, I got to fill the log with sap
0:17:30 > 0:17:32cos we've never met these guys before.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36It's in position and hopefully we'll get to see the new arrivals
0:17:36 > 0:17:39gnaw away at their little treat.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42We've placed a mini camera in there to get a close-up.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45They're so tiny and they can be quite shy as well.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- Hiya, Jess.- Hey.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Look, they've gone straight for it.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52We said earlier they had quite big teeth.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55But you never mentioned those cute tongues!
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Come on, why hold back?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Is that how they get the sap out of it?
0:17:59 > 0:18:03He's using his lower jaw and his tongue to get the sap out.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07A lot of it dripped down the log so they don't have to gnaw for it yet.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12Later on, they'll work their way to gnawing at the holes a bit.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Unbelievable. That is one of the cutest things I've ever seen.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Their tongues are really fast, as well.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23In the wild, you say they eat a lot of tree sap.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Is it fair to say they're gumnivores?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29They just eat gum all the time?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32They are called gumnivores.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35But they do eat fruit as well. They're fruitivores, too.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40They eat fruit. Sometimes they eat meat - small birds, lizards, maybe.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I'm amazed, watching them.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Even though they're so little, they look quite sturdy.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50And their tail. They're gripping on.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Is that for balance, that tail wrapped round the log?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Yes, definitely. They use their tail for balancing
0:18:56 > 0:19:01as well as using it to help them climb when they jump across trees.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04They're absolutely fantastic.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07In the wild, these tiny little things,
0:19:07 > 0:19:09how many would live together in a group?
0:19:09 > 0:19:15They're quite sociable. There's the dominant pair, a male and female.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Then their offspring, so up to about 15 in the wild.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23So we might have 15 little ones running round very soon.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26I've got to say, Jess, they are unbelievable.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29And to see them, they're confident little things.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32When they have little ones, I'm going to come down here
0:19:32 > 0:19:37trying to find them. I'll be there with my magnifying glass!
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Thanks very much, Jess. They're so little!
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Have you got your own animal park on the Roar game?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53If so, you'll know what to do with this.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57That's today's cheat code.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59If you haven't checked out our game yet,
0:19:59 > 0:20:03why not give it a go? It's easy to find on the CBBC website.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Happy gaming!
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Come on, then, girls.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22They're all excited. Ready and waiting for their nuts.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Our Roar Rangers are out with keeper Mel and the Diana monkeys.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Wild animals can be dangerous.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32No-one should ever try to feed them unless with a trained keeper.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35So Laura and Caitlin are very lucky.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Are you ready? What we'll do is, if I take this,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41then we'll just hand them the nuts.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Do you want to take some?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44There we go.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46They'll take them out of your hand.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52In the wild, they have to stuff as much food in as they can
0:20:52 > 0:20:56before any predators come, then they go somewhere safe to eat them.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Diana Monkeys come from West Africa.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01But their forest home is disappearing.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06The trees are being cut for wood and the land cleared for farming.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10So this little monkey is now a threatened species.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- They're very good climbers. - He's a very good climber.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17See him jumping around?
0:21:17 > 0:21:22- Yeah.- That's that big long tail. That helps him balance.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25They do have very long tails!
0:21:25 > 0:21:28About a third longer than the rest of their body.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Do you want to try and do some of the monkey calls they do?
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- They do like a little whistle. They go... - WHISTLES
0:21:37 > 0:21:38And then they go, "Brrrr"!
0:21:38 > 0:21:41See if you can talk to the monkeys.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Someone's talking back to you!
0:21:44 > 0:21:48You're actually monkey whisperers. How about that?
0:21:48 > 0:21:53They're all excited now. Maybe that's all the talking you did.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Here's Keymon. Good boy. He's come to say hello.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01He thinks, "I remember you. You did the grooming."
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Thank you very much, girls. You've been brilliant.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07You're fantastic monkey keepers.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10These guys have enjoyed you putting the nuts in.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12That'll keep them occupied for hours.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16It was really fun. I wish I could do it again.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Maybe one day, eh?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Shall we go this way? Come on, then.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23It was fab being a monkey keeper.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26We got to stroke the baby monkey.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31I liked monkeys before, but I love them now, more than ever.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35It was one of the most special things I've ever done.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37It was really good. What a treat!
0:22:43 > 0:22:48Back at the tapir house, there's very sad news about Lidana.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Despite all the care and attention that the vet and keepers could give,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54her illness just got worse and worse.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Lidana has now died.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04We came in and found her collapsed on the floor.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Jane, myself and Adrian, the animal director,
0:23:07 > 0:23:11took the decision that her time had come
0:23:11 > 0:23:15and in fairness to Lidana, we couldn't do any more for her.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Her quality of life had deteriorated rapidly.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21The keepers did a fantastic job, tempting her to eat.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23They kept her going really well.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26But unfortunately we had to put her to sleep.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28All the results do indicate
0:23:28 > 0:23:32there was nothing else we could do for Lidana.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34It doesn't make it any better,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37but at least we know everyone did everything they could
0:23:37 > 0:23:40and nothing could be done. But the situation is very sad.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Come on, Prince.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Lidana may be gone, but she won't be forgotten,
0:23:46 > 0:23:50especially with so many of her children and grandchildren here.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Bob's letting them out into their favourite place, the big paddock.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05If Lidana had still been here, she'd be in the paddock here
0:24:05 > 0:24:07next to her daughter and grandson.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11It's a great shame she's not here, but life has to go on.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Because of the great success we had with her,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17we've got her three daughters here.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Her eldest daughter, Linang, is in with her grandson, Kopash.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24She might not be here, but her genes are, shall we say!
0:24:54 > 0:24:57It's almost the end of another episode of Roar.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Before we go, Rani, smell my boot.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00It's boot-iful!
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Johny, I like you, but I am not smelling your stinky old boot.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07But this is no ordinary stinky old boot.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09In it are loads of herbs and spices
0:25:09 > 0:25:12and keeper Mark is about to tell us why.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17- Right, Mark?- Hi, Mark. Is this where you store your herbs and spices?
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- Are you going to cook for us?- When I run out of room in the cupboard.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23No, we've got a load of spices in there
0:25:23 > 0:25:25that you find in places in Central Asia.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- We brought it down for the snow leopard, Marta.- Right, OK.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34In there is a mixture of things like coriander, cumin, nutmeg...
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- It smells quite nice. - Not bad for a used boot!
0:25:37 > 0:25:40It doesn't smell bad. Johny has only brought one boot.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43How mean is he? You could have brought two, Johny.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Rani! Tell her, Mark. Go on.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49If you look to your right, there's one that was prepared earlier.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54I did the dangerous part of placing it, so you're at no risk.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57You say dangerous - I can't see Marta in there.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Actually, I shut her out there.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02I didn't really go in with her. That's too much!
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- You're so macho! - She's sitting by the slide.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- Shall we let her through? - That would be great.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Here comes Marta.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15- She's so slow as she walks. - She's coming straight to the boot.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- Oh, she's beautiful!- She's huge!
0:26:17 > 0:26:20What's the reason we're doing this, Mark?
0:26:20 > 0:26:23It's to give her something interesting.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25See where she opened her mouth then?
0:26:25 > 0:26:30- Getting hungry?- There's a gland at the back of her nostrils and throat.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34By opening her mouth really wide, it enlarges the nasal passages
0:26:34 > 0:26:36so she can take in the scent a lot better.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40- It's not just a sign of aggression. - You might want to step back a bit.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43No, it's not a sign of aggression at all.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47Her ears would be flat back, she'd be hissing and spitting.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50No, she's just soaking up all the flavour, if you like.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55That's nothing to be sniffed at! It's been brilliant to get so close.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57We're going to hang around a bit longer.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Why not check out what's on the next episode of Roar?
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Oooh!
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Pinatas for the monkeys? And papier-mache prey?
0:27:07 > 0:27:10I find out who comes up with these daft ideas.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Tapirs always poo in their pool.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18So is Diega, the new baby, having a swimming lesson
0:27:18 > 0:27:20or getting toilet trained?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24And the tiger cub's dinner is stuck in a tree.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26But if at first you don't succeed,
0:27:26 > 0:27:28try again, and again,
0:27:28 > 0:27:30and again,
0:27:30 > 0:27:31and again!
