0:00:02 > 0:00:06'12 months ago, three baby gorillas who were hand-raised in the parks
0:00:06 > 0:00:08'went back to the wild in Africa.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11'Now one of the keepers who looked after them as babies
0:00:11 > 0:00:15'is going out there to see how they're getting on in the jungle,
0:00:15 > 0:00:19'away from all the comforts they were used to.'
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Hello and welcome to Roar.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Before you think you're watching two talking gorillas,
0:00:48 > 0:00:53let me reassure you. It's actually your trusty animal addicts, Rani...
0:00:53 > 0:00:57And Johny, and today's show is crammed full of tales, truths
0:00:57 > 0:01:01- and triumphs from the animal kingdom. - When he says crammed, he means it,
0:01:01 > 0:01:05because this show is fit to burst! Enough of this monkey business,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- let's get on with the show. - Let's do it, Rani.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12- Come on, Johny, let's go.- Er, Rani, I can't seem to get out.- Oh. Erm...
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Rani, you come back here! Rani! Rani!
0:01:17 > 0:01:19'Coming up in today's show...'
0:01:19 > 0:01:24'A strange prey animal has appeared in the lion enclosure.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27'What will they make of it?' One of the girls has ran off with it.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29We could see an argument develop.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34'We meet another African animal that even lions are afraid of.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36'So, is anything a match for her?'
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- She's only a little thing.- She's got a very bad reputation in Africa.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41No-one messes with her.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47'And, of course, we'll reveal today's cheat code for the Roar game.'
0:01:49 > 0:01:52'But first, those gorillas.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57'50 years ago, so many of these great apes
0:01:57 > 0:02:00'had been killed by hunters in West Africa
0:02:00 > 0:02:03'that they were in danger of extinction.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07'To save the species, it was vital to breed them in captivity.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12'And since the first baby was born in the parks 34 years ago,
0:02:12 > 0:02:18'they developed the most successful breeding programme in the world.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22'The staff have developed so much skill and knowledge
0:02:22 > 0:02:24'that when a gorilla can't look after her baby,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28'a keeper can step in as a foster mum and raise the baby
0:02:28 > 0:02:31'until it's old enough to rejoin the troop.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35'But the real dream was to return gorillas to the wild.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38'And, amazingly, they've done it.'
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Let's go and change your pants ready for work.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52'One of the carers who's played a major role in the return programme
0:02:52 > 0:02:56'and had many sleepless nights doing it is Donna Honey,
0:02:56 > 0:03:00'who's been a gorilla keeper here for five years.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04'Three years ago, she helped foster Oudiki and Kouki.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07'They were born in the gorilla house, but Mum couldn't cope.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12'For over two years, Donna and the team gave them round-the-clock care,
0:03:12 > 0:03:18'just like any parents. And they formed a very close relationship.'
0:03:18 > 0:03:22I suppose it is a bit like having kids of your own.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25The little things that a mum would normally notice.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28The little things like when they first can crawl off
0:03:28 > 0:03:30or get off their back on their own,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33if there's teeth coming through.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Just like any family, the kids had to be got up and ready for the day
0:03:40 > 0:03:43'in time for the school run.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51'Luckily for Donna, her job comes with a workplace nursery.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53'So, while she got on with all her chores,
0:03:53 > 0:03:57'Oudiki and Kouki were well looked after.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04'But then, of course, at the end of the day,
0:04:04 > 0:04:07'there was the whole bedtime routine to go through.'
0:04:07 > 0:04:11We've had a very busy day today.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16And now it's finally over, we'll do our usual routine,
0:04:16 > 0:04:20go and sit in the hand-rearing cage and then the eventual aim
0:04:20 > 0:04:24is that they stay in there together and I can go and eat and shower
0:04:24 > 0:04:27without having to worry about these two.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I'm OK to get something to eat because they can come with me,
0:04:30 > 0:04:32but I can't take them in the bath with me
0:04:32 > 0:04:36and I can't leave them to run around the house. Come on, then, you.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I usually feed them both together.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45That way, there's no jealousy or anything.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49'Just like human babies after a busy day, they're very tired.'
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Are you coming over here? It's not far.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Kouki will be finished hers in a minute.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58SHE LAUGHS
0:04:58 > 0:05:00You're being very silly, aren't you?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04You want to have it over there?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06OK.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Oh, dear.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11This is their last bottle. They drink it in the cage
0:05:11 > 0:05:14and as soon as they've drunk it, they collapse and fall asleep
0:05:14 > 0:05:17and that's usually them for the night.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23'But Donna's well-earned rest didn't last long.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28'When Oudiki and Kouki were two years old,
0:05:28 > 0:05:32'baby Tiya also came into Donna's care after being abandoned
0:05:32 > 0:05:34'by her mother.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38'Tiya was lucky that Donna had learned so much from her experience
0:05:38 > 0:05:40'of raising the other two.'
0:05:43 > 0:05:48Gorilla babies do need quite a lot of care and attention.
0:05:48 > 0:05:54Compared to other animals, they were quite vulnerable.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56When they're born, they can't focus,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59so they can't really see what's going on.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Their only real instinct is to grip on
0:06:01 > 0:06:05and cry when hungry or uncomfortable, really.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11When we're with Tiya, we act like a gorilla
0:06:11 > 0:06:17so that she hopefully doesn't become confused when she's older.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22Luckily for her, she's got Oudiki and Kouki to socialise with all day
0:06:22 > 0:06:25and hopefully she'll end up with them.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30'In time, Tiya did join up with Oudiki and Kouki.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32'But despite their strong bond with Donna,
0:06:32 > 0:06:36'the three gorillas couldn't stay with her forever.
0:06:36 > 0:06:42'They had a much more exciting future ahead of them, out in Africa.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47'So they left the park forever to start a new life in the wild.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50'For Donna, life just wasn't the same without them.'
0:06:50 > 0:06:53I've missed them lots the past year.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56More than anything, I wish that I could see what they're doing,
0:06:56 > 0:07:00cos they were in my life for a couple of years.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04'But now, her dream of seeing Oudiki, Kouki and Tiya again
0:07:04 > 0:07:06'is about to come true,
0:07:06 > 0:07:10'as she's travelled across the globe to Africa.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14'But it's been over a year since they last saw Donna.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17'So will the babies even remember her?'
0:07:25 > 0:07:27In their spare time, some people like to play sports,
0:07:27 > 0:07:31some people like to read, others like to sit down in front of the TV
0:07:31 > 0:07:35and watch a good movie. I'm here with Mark from the education department
0:07:35 > 0:07:38who, in his spare time, loves to build large pretend animals.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- Yeah. Everyone needs a hobby. - Yeah. So what have we got here?
0:07:42 > 0:07:48This is our large hessian mache bison, wildebeest, whatever.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51There are some lions behind me. They're looking very scary.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- I presume this is for them.- Yes. We'll give them a run with this.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58We've not given them anything quite this big before,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01so it'll be nice to see what the family group makes of it.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06I can't wait to see what they make of it. We've also got keeper Chris.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- What have you got there?- Ah, this is the secret ingredient, OK?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12This is to turn this papier-mache bison
0:08:12 > 0:08:15into what would look, hopefully, like a real bison.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- Maybe.- Why bison fur?
0:08:17 > 0:08:21To tell you the truth, they wouldn't actually naturally hunt bison,
0:08:21 > 0:08:24but we've got bison a couple of fields away from here,
0:08:24 > 0:08:29so this was just to hand and it'll make this a bit more realistic.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Mark, I know you've put a lot of effort into constructing this,
0:08:32 > 0:08:35but it seems like they're not going to have any pay-off, no food.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Seems a little bit cruel. Why bother?
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Well, these guys get fed twice a week or so,
0:08:42 > 0:08:46so in between times, we want to give them things to get their teeth into.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50So they'll get a lot of excitement and play
0:08:50 > 0:08:53and they might do a few hunting behaviours from this.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56So it's a good way of stimulating that without food.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00We've not got any food. What makes you think they'll come over to it?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- I'm sure you've heard the saying, "Curiosity killed the cat."- Yeah.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07It means cats are curious, and it's exactly the same with the big cats.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Anything that's new in their territory, they want to try it out.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Right, OK. I can't wait to see what happens.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16I'm feeling a little bit unsure about being in here,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18so can we get out of here and let the lions in
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- and see what they make of our poor bison?- Sounds good.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Join us later in the show to see what happens. Let's put an afro on him.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- What's a cat's second favourite food?- I don't know.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- Spa-cat-ti. - THEY LAUGH
0:09:34 > 0:09:36SHE ROARS
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- What do elephants do in the evening? - I don't know.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Watch ele-vision. - THEY LAUGH
0:09:42 > 0:09:45THEY ROAR
0:09:47 > 0:09:49What did the Cinderella fish wear to the ball?
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Glass flippers. Ta-da!
0:09:53 > 0:09:56THEY LAUGH
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Right then, it's Ask The Keeper time.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12We've popped down to the red-bellied tamarin enclosure
0:10:12 > 0:10:15for a bit of feeding time with keeper Ruth Shave.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Ruth, you're in the hotspot today, and hopefully you won't be left
0:10:19 > 0:10:21red-faced when these guys ask the questions.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24So, who wants to go first? Go on then, Harvey.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27How long do they live?
0:10:27 > 0:10:31These guys can live about 13 years. That's a good age for a tamarin.
0:10:31 > 0:10:37- And how old are the ones you've got in here?- The oldest one is ten.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42- And the youngest was born two years ago.- Lots of generations, then.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- Why do they have long tails?- The long tail would help for balance.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48These guys would be up mid-canopy,
0:10:48 > 0:10:52they would rarely come down to the ground, so a good sense of balance
0:10:52 > 0:10:55is pretty important at those kind of heights, so that would help.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00- Go on, Owen.- They're very small, but how are they so powerful?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03They're reasonably powerful, but they're very agile.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07These guys would be able to balance on very thin branches
0:11:07 > 0:11:11that other primates couldn't get to, allowing them to get to fruit
0:11:11 > 0:11:13which was inaccessible to other animals,
0:11:13 > 0:11:15so it's quite good in that way.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17So they're very good at leaping, jumping,
0:11:17 > 0:11:21they're perfectly adapted to life at a height.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24OK. Anyone else got a question?
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Did you rear them here because their habitats were under threat?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Deforestation in America is happening at an alarming rate.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I think 90 percent of their home has been chopped down,
0:11:34 > 0:11:38so yeah, their numbers are declining quite fast,
0:11:38 > 0:11:42so it's important that collections like these keep up the breeding.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46What is their natural predator?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Erm, in South America, they'd have a variety of natural predators.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54The raptor, large snakes, large cats,
0:11:54 > 0:11:56things like that would all be a threat
0:11:56 > 0:12:01- to something as small as a tamarin. - Ruth, you've done really well.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04So far. Because we have got a killer question for you.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09But you have to give us a moment. So just entertain yourself. Come on.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- Is she going to get that?- Maybe not.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Ohhh! All right, then.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I shall ask the question. Ruth Shave, the killer question for you
0:12:22 > 0:12:25about the red-bellied tamarins.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- How many teeth do they have?- Oh!
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Erm... I'm not actually sure.
0:12:30 > 0:12:36I would hazard a guess at, erm, 28.
0:12:36 > 0:12:4328. Ruth, you're wrong. It's actually 32 teeth, just like us.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47So, apart from that, but you were close,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50how did Ruth do? Thumbs up or thumbs down?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Thumbs up. Thumbs up. Ohh!
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Mackenzie's being harsh.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I'll make up for Mackenzie and give you two thumbs up.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03- Ruth, it's been a pleasure. Thank you so much.- ALL: Thanks, Ruth!
0:13:09 > 0:13:12'Now we're heading out to Africa for more Back To The Wild.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18'The three baby gorillas who were hand-raised back in the parks
0:13:18 > 0:13:21'were flown out to a country called The Gabon last year.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24'They're now in a sort of gorilla nursery in a national park,
0:13:24 > 0:13:27'over 2,000 square kilometres of forest
0:13:27 > 0:13:31'protected from logging and hunting by a dedicated team of wardens.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35'It's a unique project set up and paid for by the parks
0:13:35 > 0:13:38'to put some of their own gorillas back into the wild.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42'It's been so successful that two groups of gorillas from Kent
0:13:42 > 0:13:45'are now already living free in the jungle.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48'The little gorillas spend about two years here
0:13:48 > 0:13:50'growing up under the watchful eye of carers
0:13:50 > 0:13:52'until they're ready to live on their own.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56'That's the whole point of the project and the chance to see babies
0:13:56 > 0:14:00who were hand-raised in England thriving in their natural habitat
0:14:00 > 0:14:04'is a rich reward for Donna Honey, who came out with them last year.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09'Now she's coming back. She's flown on three different planes,
0:14:09 > 0:14:15'spent five hours driving off-road in a very bumpy 4x4,
0:14:15 > 0:14:20'and now has a two-hour trip up the crocodile-infested Mpassa River
0:14:20 > 0:14:23'to the place where her gorillas now live.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27'She's been met by Liz Pearson, who's been looking after the gorillas
0:14:27 > 0:14:30'in the jungle for the last ten years.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34'And, after a three-day journey, Donna finally arrives.'
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- Here we are, back at camp. - Cool.- We made it.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- How does it feel to be back after a year?- It's great to be back.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- Glad we finally made it.- I can't wait for the gorillas to see you.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48I'm glad to have you back, too.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- I'm sure they can't wait to see you. - I hope so.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55'The main thing, of course, is to make sure the little gorillas
0:14:55 > 0:14:57'have settled in well.'
0:14:57 > 0:15:02Crazy to think that they're not far away now
0:15:02 > 0:15:04and I know that and I'm here,
0:15:04 > 0:15:08but they've got no idea, they're just in the forest right now
0:15:08 > 0:15:12doing their own thing, probably eating and playing
0:15:12 > 0:15:14and they've got no idea that here I am
0:15:14 > 0:15:17and I'm nearly going to be with them.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21'But it's almost evening and after a day in the forest,
0:15:21 > 0:15:25'Oudiki, Kouki and Tiya will now be heading for bed.'
0:15:26 > 0:15:31Oudiki's just over there, but I can't come and see him yet
0:15:31 > 0:15:33cos it's a bit too late in the day,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36so it's a bit of a tease.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41It's been just over a year since I saw them last,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44so I guess one more night is not going to kill me. I hope.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46I really can't wait to get up there.
0:15:54 > 0:16:00'How's your own wildlife park doing on the CBBC Roar game website?'
0:16:00 > 0:16:05'It'll certainly do better if you type in today's cheat code, grass456
0:16:05 > 0:16:08'with no gaps in between the letters and numbers.'
0:16:08 > 0:16:13'And that'll unlock new food and treats for all your lovely animals.'
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Earlier on in the show, we put some pretend prey into the lion enclosure
0:16:31 > 0:16:33and now it's time to see what they make of it.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- Chris, are you ready to release them? - Shall we do it?- Yeah, let's do it!
0:16:37 > 0:16:39OK! Release them!
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- Here they come.- We have five lions. They've come straight over to it.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Wonder how long it's going to last. They seem a bit nervous at first.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- A little bit. But not too much. - They're going for it now.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Bison fur. Look at that.- Wow.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55We did put some real bison fur on there.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- Is this dad that's gone over? - It certainly is, that's Cinnamon.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Are they mimicking what they do out in the wild?
0:17:02 > 0:17:06That's pretty impressive! That is one dead bison there.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10If they were to stand on their prey and say, "This is mine"
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- then that's mimicking the wild, yeah.- Wow, amazing.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Now they're having a good old smell, a good old feel of it,
0:17:16 > 0:17:20seeing what it's like and, yeah, it's doing everything we hoped.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- We've got lots of excited lions. - It's brilliant.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Do they ever fight over things like this?
0:17:25 > 0:17:29It really depends on Dad. The only one that generally fights
0:17:29 > 0:17:33is if Dad declares it's all his, nobody can do anything about it.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37But he's playing nicely today, so hopefully they'll all get a go.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40They're having a good old sniff. When they do tear it apart,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43do you think they'll use claws or their big teeth?
0:17:43 > 0:17:47You can see, they've all got their claws into it,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50but I guarantee they'll be using their teeth on it.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55What happens if they accidentally swallow some of this pretend prey?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58It's made out of cardboard, isn't it, and hessian sacks.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03If you think about what these guys normally take into their stomachs,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06a little bit of hessian's not an issue. It'll go straight through.
0:18:06 > 0:18:11- They're really tearing it apart. They seem to be working as a team.- Yeah.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Wow! So, one of the girls has ran off with it.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Is this where we could see a little bit of an argument?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20She obviously decided she wanted it all to herself.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24But she didn't get too far. It's a bit too big for her. Brilliant.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Well, I'm not going to argue with those lions.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30They've taken it over there and I'm sure they'll enjoy
0:18:30 > 0:18:33playing with their pretend prey. It's not lasted long.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Maybe next time we need to make it out of titanium steel.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40'Now it's goodbye to the UK again.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42'as we're heading to The Gabon in Africa
0:18:42 > 0:18:45'for more Back To The Wild.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48'After spending a night in the jungle,
0:18:48 > 0:18:51'Donna Honey is finally going to be reunited
0:18:51 > 0:18:56'with the three gorillas she hand-raised from birth in the UK.'
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I'm finally going to get to see the kids!
0:18:58 > 0:19:01So I'm very happy. Very excited.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04'The gorillas haven't set eyes on her for over a year,
0:19:04 > 0:19:07'so it'll be interesting to see whether the youngsters
0:19:07 > 0:19:09'do remember their foster mum.'
0:19:09 > 0:19:14It's going to be a bit of a shock for them, so it's probably...
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Well, it's maybe going to take a little while for them to come over.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22I'm hoping the kids will be fairly pleased to see me.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25I think the best I can hope for is a little hello
0:19:25 > 0:19:28and then they'll get on with their day.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29We'll soon find out.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34'It's a 40-minute hike up the hill to the gorilla house.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37'The youngsters sleep here every night,
0:19:37 > 0:19:40'but spend all the daylight hours out in the jungle
0:19:40 > 0:19:43'learning what to eat and how to be gorillas.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45'Before they leave the house, though,
0:19:45 > 0:19:48'the daily routine starts with a cup of milk.'
0:19:50 > 0:19:55- Bless her.- 'The gorillas have enjoyed their milk as usual.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00'Will they even notice, let alone remember, their former keeper?'
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Hello, handsome! Hello.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12'It seems she needn't have worried.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18'Oudiki has come straight over to give her a welcome hug.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21'And Kouki's not far behind.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25'The kids are overjoyed to see her
0:20:25 > 0:20:29'and hitch a ride into the forest.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34'It's obvious the youngsters are very much at home here.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36'They are going back to the wild
0:20:36 > 0:20:40'but they haven't forgotten someone who showed them so much care
0:20:40 > 0:20:42'when they were just babies.'
0:21:01 > 0:21:05That felt really good, actually having Oudiki say hello.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10And Kouki got a ride into the forest from me, as well.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13So that was nice.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Probably the best outcome I could get, really.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19'After 12 months living in the forest,
0:21:19 > 0:21:21'the gorillas are growing fast.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25'The biggest surprise is how Tiya has changed.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28'When Donna left her, she was still in nappies,
0:21:28 > 0:21:32'not able to climb or find food on her own.'
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Tiya has changed dramatically.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39She's climbing and she seems more with it.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42She's just grown up quite a lot.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44And she looks a bit different, too.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48'And they're not just climbing a little bit.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53'These tough tots scamper to the tops of trees over 15 metres high.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56'It's the ultimate adventure playground.'
0:22:07 > 0:22:11This is fab, to see them out in the forest,
0:22:11 > 0:22:16doing what they want,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18having pretty much a free choice
0:22:18 > 0:22:22to go where they want
0:22:22 > 0:22:26and spend their time pretty much as they please.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- It's lovely.- 'But gorillas can easily become stressed.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34'So it's really important to keep them feeling safe and relaxed
0:22:34 > 0:22:39'at all times. It's one of the key skills of gorilla keepers.'
0:22:39 > 0:22:44When I'm here with the gorillas, I'm just trying to mimic their behaviour
0:22:44 > 0:22:48while I'm with them to say that everything's OK
0:22:48 > 0:22:52and I'm content and happy.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55I'm just trying to give off the right signals.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59I don't want to come across in a threatening way at all.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02So I'm just behaving like them.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05'The gorillas may well be free to roam
0:23:05 > 0:23:10'but they're still reliant on a team of carers for some things.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13'The group get three feeds of milk every day.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17'They would still have been suckling if their mum was looking after them
0:23:17 > 0:23:21'so they're given milk until they move completely onto solids.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25'They used to need help drinking, but now they use cups by themselves.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28'And when they've had their elevenses,
0:23:28 > 0:23:31'they get back to what gorillas do most of the time,
0:23:31 > 0:23:33'filling their tummies.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37'They just see the forest as one big larder.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41'But they have to be taught what's good and safe to eat.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44'Then they munch their way through ten kilos of shoots,
0:23:44 > 0:23:46'leaves and fruit every day.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49'And the team running the project have observed them eating
0:23:49 > 0:23:53'over 50 kinds of plant, as well as sap from the trees.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57'Donna's pleased with their progress.'
0:23:57 > 0:23:59It's great to be here.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01It's a real privilege.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14I'm very happy to be here to see the gorillas out in the wild
0:24:14 > 0:24:17doing their own thing, doing what they want and just being gorillas.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21'We'll be following the gorillas' adventures over the next few days.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25'So look out for more Back To The Wild.'
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- Well, unfortunately, that's all we've got time for.- Johny, please!
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Rani, stop badgering me! We're going to see Winnie now before we go.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- Hiya, Jim.- You all right?
0:24:49 > 0:24:51We've come down to see Winnie the honey badger.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56- What's on the menu?- Today she's got one of her favourites. Rats.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Urgh, rats. What does she love about rats?
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- She loves everything. - Yeah?- Eats the lot.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06- Do you want to feed her? - Yeah, unless you want to?
0:25:06 > 0:25:10You know, I'm more of a master chef.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13I'd like to do something in the kitchen. You just throw it.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Here she is, waiting for it.
0:25:16 > 0:25:21I've heard... She's very small, but look, she's quite vicious
0:25:21 > 0:25:23for such a small, cute little creature.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27- Yeah, she is. She's got a very bad reputation in Africa.- Right.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32- No-one messes with her.- Not just Winnie, but all honey badgers.- Yeah.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36They've got this reputation, nothing will phase her.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39It's quite a big meal there. How often do you feed her?
0:25:39 > 0:25:43- We feed her every day.- Every day? - Every day.- Just one a day?- Yeah.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- She's ran off.- She'll hide that, store it and come back for more.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50She must have a larder down there where she stored it all.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53She must have quite a network of tunnels underneath here.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Yeah, I hate to think how many tunnels there are,
0:25:56 > 0:26:01because when we come in to clean, we quite often fall down them,
0:26:01 > 0:26:05because the grass gets long, so we have to make sure the grass is cut.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- Ah!- She's back for another one. - There's no way she ate that.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12You say you come in to clean this. We've never been allowed in.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15And you say she's fearless and ferocious.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19- How do you get in there? Ah! Got you now, Jim!- Good one, Rani.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- No, because it takes three of us. - Really?- Yes.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26One will go round the back of her enclosure and make sure she's there,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29and whilst they're feeding her over there,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32the two remaining keepers get in, do a quick clean,
0:26:32 > 0:26:37change the water and everything else and then get out before she gets us.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41That's got to be pretty scary! "Quick, before Winnie gets back!"
0:26:41 > 0:26:45Thank you for the heads up. I won't be messing with her any time soon.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- I thought you came to help me clean? - Don't even go there!
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- There's three of us. - I think it's time that we got off.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55Why don't you check out what's coming up on the next episode of Roar?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57See you later!
0:27:00 > 0:27:03'Oudiki, Kouki and Tiya, who were hand-raised in the parks,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06'are now in a jungle nursery in Africa.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09'But how are they going to learn to survive on their own?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11'Who's going to teach them?'
0:27:14 > 0:27:18'We meet an extremely ancient breed of wild moggies.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22'But does the head keeper know why they're called pallas cats?'
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Yes!
0:27:25 > 0:27:29'And we get more than we bargained for at the elephant paddock.'
0:27:29 > 0:27:33That is the biggest pee I've ever seen! It's like a swimming pool!
0:27:33 > 0:27:35'Make sure you're watching.'
