0:00:02 > 0:00:04Today on Roar, to give the tiger cubs a challenge
0:00:04 > 0:00:06their dinner's been left in a tree.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10But now it's stuck, so will they ever be able to get it down.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Hello, and welcome to Roar.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- I'm Rani.- And I'm Johny, and this is Sandshaw,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43one of the golden-bellied mangabeys.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Now, adult male mangabeys
0:00:44 > 0:00:46make a sound that biologists call a whoop gobble.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50The whoop gets the attention of all the other mangabeys in the area
0:00:50 > 0:00:54and the gobble, well that tells everyone where he is and who he is.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56That's right. I'm going to demonstrate
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- how to do the whoop gobble right now.- Really?
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Yeah. Whoop gobble. Whoop gobble.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03See? Clearly said something there.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Johny, that was terrible. Let's just get on with the show.
0:01:07 > 0:01:12Coming up today, pinatas for the monkeys and papier mache prey?
0:01:12 > 0:01:16I'm going to find out who comes up with these daft ideas.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19How about this one? Meat flavoured ice lollies.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- Eww!- Look at that. Looks lovely doesn't it?
0:01:21 > 0:01:25But will the dhole wild dogs reckon it's really cool?
0:01:25 > 0:01:29And tapirs always poo in their pool.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33So is Diego the new baby
0:01:33 > 0:01:37having a swimming lesson or getting toilet trained?
0:01:46 > 0:01:51Last year there was great excitement when the Siberian tigers,
0:01:51 > 0:01:57Tug and Ingrid, had twin girls. And it was great fun watching them play.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05But right now it's feeding time for the twins and guess what?
0:02:05 > 0:02:08They've grown.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13Today, head of big cats, Rich Barnes, has a surprise in store.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16These are the two tiger cubs born last year.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20This is Bira, the confident one, and her slightly bigger sister, Cinder,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22just over there in the corner.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23They're just over a year old,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25they've just had their first birthday,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27they're not far off the same size of Mum,
0:02:27 > 0:02:30give them six months, it'll be difficult to tell
0:02:30 > 0:02:32which one's mum, which one's the cubs.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37In the wild, tiger cubs stay with Mum until they're about two,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40while they learn to stalk and kill their prey.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42There's no hunting here at the park,
0:02:42 > 0:02:46but the cubs do have to learn how to fight for their dinner.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50They've been eating meat for some time,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52completely off Mum's milk probably six months ago.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56They'll give the adults a run for their money when we put food in.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59They'll try and steal it off the parents and they'll certainly
0:02:59 > 0:03:02take a bit as their own and run off with it.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04They completely change from being cute little tigers
0:03:04 > 0:03:06to being savage beasts that people recognise as being tigers.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12It's good for the youngsters to work for their food,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15and today Rich has planned a new challenge for them.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Tigers can climb trees but, up until now,
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Bira and Cinder haven't had much reason to practice,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26but a big chunk of meat each should get them going.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32This is the first time, don't want to have them not be able
0:03:32 > 0:03:35to get it at all, so have not made it too, too difficult.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Hopefully they should have the tools and the know how to run straight up
0:03:39 > 0:03:42and grab these bits and sit down and eat it themselves,
0:03:42 > 0:03:43so shall we get out?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Time to release the twins.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Cinder is straight out.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53She's soon spots lunch...
0:03:53 > 0:03:54up she goes.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Easy peasy.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Yeah, as you saw, that didn't take much from her
0:04:05 > 0:04:08to get up there. They're pretty athletic, pretty able already.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13She didn't just run up, grab hold of it and then try to tear it off,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15she understood that she had to disconnect it
0:04:15 > 0:04:17from what it was hanging on to.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Now I guess we can just put it higher
0:04:20 > 0:04:22and give them more of a challenge.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Cinder has her lunch, but what about Bira?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28She's being a little bit slow today.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30There's a good girl.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Come on then, go and get it.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34You see that bit? It's up there.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37I think she's seen it.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Here we go.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Up she goes.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44You see those massive claws digging in?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Perfect climbing those trees.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49The cubs weigh almost 100 kilos,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52so just imagine the strength of those claws.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55But now Bira's got a problem
0:04:57 > 0:04:58She's coming down.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Cinder tries to show her how it's done,
0:05:04 > 0:05:06but it's not so easy.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Dinner is well and truly stuck.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Time for a rethink,
0:05:12 > 0:05:15and then another try,
0:05:15 > 0:05:20and then another. And another, and another, and another.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24They've both now been taking it in turns to get this last bit off
0:05:24 > 0:05:26and they've both gone up several times,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28sometimes both together like this,
0:05:28 > 0:05:31and clearly there's not actually enough room for them to get up.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34It's quite amusing to watch them have a go at it.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Eventually the twins give up
0:05:36 > 0:05:40and sit down to share their first piece of meat,
0:05:40 > 0:05:45but there's trouble brewing because Mum and Dad are about to come out,
0:05:45 > 0:05:50they're very hungry and they are not good at sharing.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07In my spare time I love getting involved with art and craft.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10The man I'm about to meet shares a very similar passion,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13except what he does has a very positive outcome
0:06:13 > 0:06:14for animals at the park.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17It's Mark Jones from the education department. Mark, how are you doing?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Nice to meet you. - What have we got going on here?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Today we're making some pinatas for the primates,
0:06:23 > 0:06:26so basically we've got a balloon, flour and water,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29paper over the top until it dries nice and hard.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34Fill it with food, seal it over and give it to some of the monkeys.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36The monkeys will try and pop this balloon,
0:06:36 > 0:06:38get inside and get the food that they want?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Exactly, yes. Just making a bit more interesting,
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- a bit different for them. - Why make it so hard?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46We talk about enrichment on this show, but what does it mean exactly?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Well, in the wild life's not that easy for the animals
0:06:49 > 0:06:52so if they are in captivity then we want to make things
0:06:52 > 0:06:55a little bit more difficult for them, not too easy.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Can I help make these animals happy? - These ones are empty,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- if you want to pop some food in that. - Brilliant. Some of these nuts.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04What sort of things have you made in the past?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07We can make all sorts, really, it just depends on your imagination.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12So some of the things we've done, as I say, are things like the pinatas,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14we've got little hessian bundles here
0:07:14 > 0:07:17that we do for the gorillas and the mecaques.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Where it's just some hessian sacking, straw,
0:07:19 > 0:07:21food inside and then seal it up.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25And you do 50 of these, chuck them all in, scatter them round the place
0:07:25 > 0:07:28and the gorillas have to go round and find them.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30What's the most impressive thing that you've every made?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32I've noticed this which is really impressive
0:07:32 > 0:07:34and then this thing. What's this?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37It's a work in progress but is going to be our papier mache bison.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40We've done this before, this is our second attempt.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42We've put it in with our Canadian timber wolves.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46So we've put it in with the six boys and they actually spent five hours
0:07:46 > 0:07:48going around it and checking it out
0:07:48 > 0:07:51and sort of stalking it before they actually went in for the kill.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54It was really nice, it took about two days to make,
0:07:54 > 0:07:57the fact that it took them five hours to use it
0:07:57 > 0:07:59and stimulating all that nice natural behaviour,
0:07:59 > 0:08:02that's definitely one of our main success stories so far.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Is anything you've made
0:08:03 > 0:08:06become a permanent fixture in any of the enclosures?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Yeah, we've got a few puzzle feeders.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10They're down at the gorilla enclosure
0:08:10 > 0:08:13if you want to go and have a look at them.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15The gorilla keepers keep them in place
0:08:15 > 0:08:17and every now and again they top them up
0:08:17 > 0:08:20and it gets the gorillas using tools to get the food out.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- What do they look like?- A bit like one of those games you played with
0:08:24 > 0:08:29as a kid. The gorillas use a stick to knock the food along, out the hole,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32down to the next level and all the way down to the bottom.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36There's a hole in the bottom they can reach in and pick food out.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39There's little traps in it, so they can't just knock it along,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42they have to work it around the trap and then down.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- It seems they really enjoy it. - Yeah. It gets them testing
0:08:45 > 0:08:47their intelligence and their tool use skills.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49It's something that's really testing them.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53I can't wait to see this put into use, so when it's finished
0:08:53 > 0:08:56can we come and check it out when it's done?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- You certainly can. You can come and help me finish it.- I will do.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03We'll see the papier mache bison in action on another episode
0:09:03 > 0:09:06of Roar, when it's the lion's turn to show their hunting skills.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10How long will they take to go in for the kill?
0:09:19 > 0:09:24Today's Roar Ranger is 12-year-old Katey from Edinburgh.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29At home Katey's got a pet rabbit called Toffee,
0:09:29 > 0:09:33but most of the animals here are bigger and dirtier than that,
0:09:33 > 0:09:35so is she up to the challenge?
0:09:35 > 0:09:39No matter what, if it's poo or anything, I'll just go for it.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42So let's see what she gets.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Katey, today you are a tapir keeper.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Watch out for the little one.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50A little one.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I wonder if that's a baby.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54There are different kinds of tapiers
0:09:54 > 0:09:58and Katey's going to be helping with the Brazilian tapiers.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02They come from South America where they live deep in the dense jungle.
0:10:02 > 0:10:08Here at the park there's a breeding pair, Tommy and Wilma, and yes,
0:10:08 > 0:10:14they have a new baby named Diego and he's just seven weeks old.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18But before Katey can meet him, keeper Helen has a mission for her.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- Hi, I'm Katey. - Hi, I'm Helen. Pleased to meet you.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Today we're going to be working with Brazilian tapiers
0:10:23 > 0:10:26and I'm afraid we've got quite a big job to begin with
0:10:26 > 0:10:30so I hope you're ready for it. We're going to clean out their bed.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- Nice.- Ready? Come on then, let's do it.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35So basically, all this bed has to come out
0:10:35 > 0:10:37and go on the back of that tractor.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43It's quite smelly.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48I've just got to pick it all up and try not to drop it.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Dropped some already.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57Tapirs love their bed and spend over half their time snoozing.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Trouble is they also wee in it
0:10:59 > 0:11:03and, as they drink around ten litres of water a day,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06that means there's a lot of soggy straw to clean out.
0:11:06 > 0:11:12Straw is surprisingly heavy, weighed down by all the wee.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17And while the tapiers wee in bed, they poo somewhere else.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18In their pond.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Which is pretty disgusting
0:11:22 > 0:11:28because the pond isn't just their toilet, it's their swimming pool.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Meanwhile, back inside,
0:11:29 > 0:11:33our Roar Ranger has finally got their bed made.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Do you think the tapiers will be happy with this?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Yeah, I reckon they'll be well chuffed with this, yeah.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Yeah, it's really good.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Lovely and clean and nice and fluffy for them.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Right, that's all the hard work over,
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- are you ready to hide some fruit up? - Yeah.- Yeah? Cool.
0:11:49 > 0:11:55Tapirs are herbivores, so they eat leaves, fruit and vegetables
0:11:55 > 0:12:00and these three scoff about 40 kilos of it every day.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02So where's the best places to put the food?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Well, we've got three tapiers.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06One very small one who's only seven weeks,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09and then we've got Wilma who is 15 and then Tommy who's nearly five.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13They're all different sizes, so if we put them at different places
0:12:13 > 0:12:16they can each get some. The little one can get some off the floor
0:12:16 > 0:12:18and they'll hopefully share it.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Bread, banana.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28What's their favourite food?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31These tapiers particularly love bananas and apples and bread,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34so everything you've just thrown out is pretty much a favourite
0:12:34 > 0:12:36so we should be in luck.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I've got a bit of apple here
0:12:42 > 0:12:47so I might hide it in here to make them work for their food.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50That's it, all finished.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55So Katey's cleaned their house and served up lunch,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58but will the tapiers come anywhere her?
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Find out later on.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Now, we might all complain about it from time to time,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21but the British weather does sometimes get quite hot
0:13:21 > 0:13:25and when it does, it's the job of the keepers to keep the animals cool.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28And you don't get cooler than Mr Ben Warren. Hiya, Ben.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Hi, Rani.- Ben, I've got to say, that ice bucket was very, very heavy.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Now, I've dragged it all the way to the dhole enclosure,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38it hasn't defrosted, what's the plan, Stan?
0:13:38 > 0:13:42- Well, we're going to put it in an area round here somewhere.- Right.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Tip the ice out, then see what the dhole do with it.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Now, I've not seen any dhole just here but I can see them in the trees.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54We've been in here a few times but we have some pups now. Is it dangerous?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Is mum protective over the pups, are we OK?
0:13:56 > 0:13:57No we're absolutely fine.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Mum knows what goes on.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03They just stay out of the way normally. Yeah, we're safe.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06We're good. OK, lovely. Now, we've got these ice buckets.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09What is this on the top? You've just completely ruined them.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10They could be quite nice,
0:14:10 > 0:14:14you could put that in a glass of cola or something.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15We've put meat on the top,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18which will be the bottom once we tip it out.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- OK.- We'll rub meat over again just to get them interested.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Do you want me to drag this further?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26I want you to go around the enclosure twice...
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Ignore him. Ignore him.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- Right, let's go.- Let's go.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Look at him lifting it with ease.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Ben, wait for me. Wait for me.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Right, hang on, I'm going to catch up .
0:14:36 > 0:14:38We're giving these ice buckets
0:14:38 > 0:14:40because it's a scorcher of a day today.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- Very warm.- We're both quite shiny out here in the sunshine.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Do the dholes get hot, where are they from?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48They're from Asia, all across Asia,
0:14:48 > 0:14:52so they can cope with cold climates and extremely hot climates.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55So is this going to bother them?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Our dhole here are used to the climates in England and today is
0:14:58 > 0:15:02a particularly hot day, so I'm sure they'd feel it a little bit, yeah.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Let's get this one out.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07It's funny you say that, I'm Indian and my family's from India,
0:15:07 > 0:15:09but I was born in this country
0:15:09 > 0:15:11so my body isn't adjusted to the climate in India.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Eww!- Look at that. Looks lovely, doesn't it?
0:15:14 > 0:15:18I'm going to rub some meat over it to get scent on it.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19You're not getting on MasterChef, you know?
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- I think I'm doing a good job. Would you eat that?- No, I'm vegetarian.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26OK, now I know if you get an ice cube
0:15:26 > 0:15:29and put it to your tongue your tongue can stick to it.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Is there a chance the dholes are going to come to this
0:15:32 > 0:15:35and are they going to get their tongues stuck to the ice?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38No. This has been outside now for a little while
0:15:38 > 0:15:41so it's starting to defrost a little bit.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44When they lick it, you can touch this now, it's very smooth
0:15:44 > 0:15:46and it will just be like water.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Have you ever given them ice buckets before?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51No. This is the first time we've ever done this
0:15:51 > 0:15:54so this is a bit of a test for us.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Right then, Ben, our ice buckets are in place, the sun is shining,
0:15:57 > 0:15:59the dholes are poised and ready.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- They are actually watching us, aren't they?- Yeah they are, in the distance.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Do you think, when we get out of here,
0:16:05 > 0:16:07they'll come over and suck these ice cubes?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Well, it's the first time, I honestly don't know.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10We'll see what happens.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Ben doesn't know what's going to happen, neither do I,
0:16:13 > 0:16:15so why don't you join us later in the show
0:16:15 > 0:16:18and find out if the dholes love their ice lollies.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25What's a cow's favourite TV show?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Doctor Moo.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Raaar! Raaar!
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Why did the chicken go in a hot bath?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35To lay hard boiled eggs.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36Buck, buck, buck!
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Why was the elephant banned from the swimming pool?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Because he couldn't keep his trunks up.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Back up at the tiger enclosure,
0:16:53 > 0:16:57twin sisters Cinder and Bira are sharing the one piece of meat
0:16:57 > 0:17:00they managed to get down from the tree.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04The other piece is still up there and, try as they might,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07they just haven't been able to get it down.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09But now the parents, Tug and Ingrid,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12are being released and they're very hungry.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Pretty sure Ingrid will finish off what the cubs haven't got.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Hopefully the cubs will see her, watch her do whatever she does,
0:17:22 > 0:17:26and maybe that will encourage them to do it the same next time.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Ingrid, go and show them how it's done, will you?
0:17:30 > 0:17:31And they're off.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Mum spots the meat and up she goes.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40But she can't get it down either.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46And while everyone else is looking up, Dad pinches the kids' bit.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51He's got the right idea, just wait until everyone is preoccupied
0:17:51 > 0:17:54then go and steal it off your daughters and get the easy meal.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56You might say that Tug's the clever one.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Well, you missed out there, girls.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02In the wild, tigers survive by using their wits and their strength,
0:18:02 > 0:18:07but in this family it looks like Dad Tug's got the cunning
0:18:07 > 0:18:09while mum Ingrid's got the power.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13There you go, brute force in the end.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Ingrid had obviously sussed it.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18She'd realised a bit about how to get it off, then she waited until
0:18:18 > 0:18:22the bottom was clear of the cubs and then she ran up there
0:18:22 > 0:18:25and just grabs hold of it and used a lot of force,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28knowing she'd probably win in the end, then legged it off,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30and the cubs chased after her.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36So now Mum and Dad have all the meat and they're not so good at sharing.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40But, of course, Rich would never let the cubs go hungry for long.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45We'll just chuck a couple of bits in so they've got some food today.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47But good exercise and we'll do it again
0:18:47 > 0:18:49and I think it's quite encouraging
0:18:49 > 0:18:52to see that they were really up for it, really wanted to play.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Every day the youngsters are growing and learning something new
0:18:56 > 0:18:59so it shouldn't be long before Cinder and Bira
0:18:59 > 0:19:02are as strong as Mum and as sneaky as Dad.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14OK, I'm still with keeper Ben Warren
0:19:14 > 0:19:16and we're outside the dhole enclosure.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Now, if you take a look in there, those two white mounds,
0:19:19 > 0:19:22they are actually ice buckets. We placed them in there earlier on.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27So, Ben, it's not so much cool for cats today, it's cool for dogs.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29It's not even that really, is it?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31It could be. We've placed them in there
0:19:31 > 0:19:34but so far they haven't come over yet, have they?
0:19:34 > 0:19:35We've just left them.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Now, the trick is we've smeared those lovely ice buckets
0:19:38 > 0:19:43with some meat and blood so hopefully they'll come over with the scent.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47So, you know, obviously we've been in there, do they get quite nervous?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Yeah. Anything different. They're very timid little animals,
0:19:49 > 0:19:51so we're right beside their enclosure still
0:19:51 > 0:19:54and they'll probably just wait for us to walk away.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Do you feel let down that you put all this effort in for those ice cubes
0:19:58 > 0:20:00and the dholes have ignored it?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03No, no, not at all. We have to do everything once.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05They're very timid, we've just dumped something
0:20:05 > 0:20:07in the middle of their enclosure.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09They'll take their time to come up and work it out,
0:20:09 > 0:20:11this is a huge process.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13We can do this five times and build them up.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Then eventually they'll know what we're doing,
0:20:15 > 0:20:18this will be a perfect situation, they'll come running over.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20So just through repetition, by putting it in there,
0:20:20 > 0:20:21they'll feel safer and eventually
0:20:21 > 0:20:24they can cool down on a hot summers day.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- Yeah.- I like the way you're thinking. Ben, thank you so much.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Are you going to leave those ice cubes in there?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Yes. That's theirs now, unless you want it.- No I don't want it!
0:20:33 > 0:20:36But if our cameraman wouldn't mind, maybe he could stick around
0:20:36 > 0:20:40and if they do come over we could get some shots. Would that be all right?
0:20:40 > 0:20:41Yeah, no worries at all.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Ben, you're a star. Is that all right with you, cameraman?
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Sure enough, later on the dholes come over to take a look.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58And now they're used to the idea, maybe next time it's really hot
0:20:58 > 0:21:02they'll be queuing up with everyone else to get their ice lollies.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11There are loads of great games on the CBBC website but the Roar game
0:21:11 > 0:21:16is the only one where you get your very own animal park to look after.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19And before you go check it out, make a note of this,
0:21:19 > 0:21:22rock56, that's today's cheat code.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25You'll see what to do with it when you get there.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Have fun and happy gaming.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Back with the Brazilian tapiers,
0:21:41 > 0:21:45our Roar Ranger Katey has been having a busy day.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49She's cleaned their house and spread their lunch all over
0:21:49 > 0:21:54their enclosure and now Tommy, Wilma and little Diego are coming out.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57This will be the first time that Katey's got to meet them.
0:21:57 > 0:22:03It's exciting watching it and he's gobbling up all the food I put out,
0:22:03 > 0:22:05especially all the bread.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Here you go, this is Tommy.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Katey is allowed to get this close
0:22:12 > 0:22:14only because she's with keeper, Helen.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21He's actually really soft. The fur is quite smooth as well.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26Here, if you rub them really hard you end up with black fingers.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- It's a natural oil they produce to protect their skin.- Uh huh?
0:22:29 > 0:22:33So if you rub them really hard it all just comes off in your hand.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38Which means you have to wash them really hard too.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Here's the little fella.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45At just seven weeks old, Diego needs a lot of care and attention.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48He was a little poorly when he was younger
0:22:48 > 0:22:50and is still getting some medicine.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54I'm just going to give this little fella some probiotic.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- Why do you need to give him that? - When he was about a week old
0:22:58 > 0:23:01we noticed that he had some really runny poo,
0:23:01 > 0:23:04so it's just something to settle his stomach and make sure that
0:23:04 > 0:23:07he's getting the right things and make his poo a bit firmer,
0:23:07 > 0:23:09and we think it's worked but we've still got,
0:23:09 > 0:23:13we're going to keep him on it a little while just to make sure.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17And at last the youngster is close enough for Katey to reach.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22There you go, that's probably the closest you'll ever get
0:23:22 > 0:23:23to a seven-week-old tapir.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- He's so soft.- I know.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Compared to the adults they're really, really soft.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30When will he start to look more like the parents?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Probably about eight or nine months he'll lose his stripes.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37He'll slowly start losing them about eight or nine months old,
0:23:37 > 0:23:41and by the time he's about a year he'll be pretty much fully brown.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- It's a shame really.- Yeah. - A shame they have to grow up.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- So cute, isn't it?- It is.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50It's amazing to be this close to them.
0:23:50 > 0:23:56It's just so lovely being next to him like this. He's just so cute,
0:23:56 > 0:23:57and so soft to touch.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Time to leave the tapiers in peace.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05So how did Katey do?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Katey's been really good, really helpful.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10We've mucked out the tapiers which she was really fast at
0:24:10 > 0:24:12and actually did really well, and she's also had the privilege
0:24:12 > 0:24:15to touch the baby tapir which most people don't get.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17So hopefully she's really enjoyed it
0:24:17 > 0:24:19and had a good day being a Roar ranger.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25It was amazing as well getting so close to the little baby tapir
0:24:25 > 0:24:29who is really cute, and getting to stroke them was brilliant,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32so I really enjoyed my day working with the tapiers
0:24:32 > 0:24:35and I wish I could do it again.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Now, how could we say goodbye to you guys today
0:24:55 > 0:24:57without popping up to the Javan Langur enclosure.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00And luckily for us, we've managed to catch keeper Liam
0:25:00 > 0:25:02before he releases them for their dinner.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- How are you doing, Liam?- Hi.- Hiya.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08OK, we've got an empty enclosure but I can see the food is out ready,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- you're going to be releasing them. - Yeah.- Now, we know Mangrove,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15he's the dominant male in here, is he going to be the one coming out first?
0:25:15 > 0:25:18He probably won't, he is the dominant male
0:25:18 > 0:25:21he is also the oldest one so he's a bit slower.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24It'll probably be one of the younger females out first.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- Will they save him some food as he is the dominant male?- Yeah.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30As soon as he gets on those benches he'll push the others off
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- and he normally gets a bench to himself.- Really?
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Wow, a whole bench to himself.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39He's probably big. Shall we release them, we'd like to see them out here.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- Yeah, sure.- Do they tend to come out quite quickly?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Yeah, you can see, here they come already.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Yeah, that's one of the females straight out already
0:25:46 > 0:25:49and one of the younger males just behind her, that's little Nipper.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51What sort of food have we got?
0:25:51 > 0:25:55These guys are leaf eaters, the majority of it is all green based.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58There's some lettuce out there, lots of beans, also some aubergine.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00There's a little bit of fruit, it's star fruit today.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- They can only have a certain amount of fruit.- Why?
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Their digestive system isn't built for eating fruit, it messes them up
0:26:06 > 0:26:08and causes them to have nasty tummies, upset stomachs.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12So they eat lots of leaves, that's pretty much what we give to them.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Little treats are things like fruit and stuff.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Oh, OK, it's a treat, they do like the fruit.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Yeah, they love it but it's got to be unripe
0:26:19 > 0:26:22or stuff that'll react well with their stomachs.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- Do they often fight over the food? - They definitely do, yeah.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- They're obviously quite calm at the moment...- Yeah, they are.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32There is a hierarchy within the group, if one of them gets food
0:26:32 > 0:26:33before another there can be fighting,
0:26:33 > 0:26:35a little bit of trouble can erupt.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38They were just squeaking, what were they saying?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41That was them just communicating with each other.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42It's obviously a little youngster there
0:26:42 > 0:26:44and one of our sub-adult females as well
0:26:44 > 0:26:46and they're just sort of communicating
0:26:46 > 0:26:49to each other during feed time. It's an exciting time for them.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50You know what they're saying?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53"This food's good, Johny, and I've loved today's show."
0:26:53 > 0:26:56"Now get out of here, we want to eat in peace."
0:26:56 > 0:27:00"Why don't you check out what's on the next episode of Roar?"
0:27:00 > 0:27:02I've got to stop this accent. Terrible.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Next time on Roar we're starting something special,
0:27:09 > 0:27:14a series of amazing reports, Back To The Wild.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Last year three baby gorillas who were hand-raised in the parks
0:27:18 > 0:27:22were returned to a remote region of Africa.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Now one of the keepers who raised them is on an epic journey
0:27:26 > 0:27:29deep into the jungle to discover how they've survived
0:27:29 > 0:27:31and to find out if they remember her.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35So, whatever you do, don't miss it.
