0:00:02 > 0:00:08Three young gorillas hand-reared in the parks are now in Africa,
0:00:08 > 0:00:12but how will they learn to survive and who's going to teach them?
0:00:39 > 0:00:43- Hello and welcome to Roar. I'm Rani. - And I'm Johny.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47We're at the African Experience to give these guys their dinner.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51With over 100 animals to feed here every day, this is no small job.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55So as we satisfy the rumblings of the beasts,
0:00:55 > 0:01:00check out the tasty treats we've got for you. Come on, Rani.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Coming up on today's show:
0:01:04 > 0:01:09We meet an extremely ancient breed of wild moggies,
0:01:09 > 0:01:14- but will the Head Keeper know why they are called Pallas cats?- Yes!
0:01:14 > 0:01:19Malayan tapirs have no trouble eating fruit and veg on their own,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22so why give them a banana butty?
0:01:22 > 0:01:27'And we get more than we bargained for at the elephant paddock.'
0:01:27 > 0:01:31That's the biggest pee I've ever seen! It's like a swimming pool.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39Among all the animals in the parks, the lemurs are one of my favourites.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47The only place you can find them in the wild is on Madagascar,
0:01:47 > 0:01:51off the east coast of southern Africa.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55The name lemur comes from a Latin word meaning "spirits of the night".
0:01:55 > 0:01:58That's when they're most active.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03But you won't catch them napping any time there's food to be had.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- Hiya, Matt.- Hello. - What have we got going on here?
0:02:07 > 0:02:11We're going to do a bit of a treat for our lemurs today.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- We're doing these fruit kebabs. - It looks very scrumptious indeed.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20- But why fruit kebabs?- Basically, lemurs are fruit eaters in the wild.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- This is part of their natural diet, really.- OK.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28We'll try to hang it naturally for them to eat naturally.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33- Have they got a favourite fruit? What have we got?- A bit of orange,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35banana and apple.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Guess which one you think is best and they like the most.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- Considering lemurs are monkey-ish, definitely the bananas.- Yeah.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48They love the banana. That's what I expect they'll go for first.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53- Do you want me to give you a hand? - Grab a bit of apple or banana
0:02:53 > 0:02:58- and thread it...- Right, OK.- ..onto one of these. It's a bit tricky.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03- I just pop it through there. How am I doing?- Not too bad at all.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07OK, brilliant. I've always wanted to say this.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Here's one Matt made earlier.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14When they get hold of these kebabs, will they try to snatch it all
0:03:14 > 0:03:17or pick individual pieces of fruit?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Well, we'll be hanging these up from some branches,
0:03:21 > 0:03:25so hopefully they can't run off with them. They try to get the fruit
0:03:25 > 0:03:30and shovel it in to chew it in one. They'll just rip it apart, really,
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- to get the food.- How do you think we're doing? All set?- That's good.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39I can't wait to see if we can string the lemurs along
0:03:39 > 0:03:43and they go crazy for our kebabs. Join us later to see what happens.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Now we're off to the Gabon again for more Back To The Wild.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52This week we're following the amazing story of three baby gorillas
0:03:52 > 0:03:58who were born at the parks in the UK, but now live in West Africa.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Donna Honey hand-raised them and she's travelled around the world
0:04:02 > 0:04:07to see how they're coping out here without the comfort they once knew.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11They're part of a pioneering project,
0:04:11 > 0:04:15a gorilla nursery set up by the parks 10 years ago.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20It employs and trains local people to look after little gorillas
0:04:20 > 0:04:26until they're old and skilled enough to live with their kind in the wild.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29It's not just for captive gorillas.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33They also rescue African orphan gorillas.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38Likoko is one of them and she had a very sad start in life.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Charlie used to be a gorilla keeper at the parks. Now he lives here
0:04:42 > 0:04:47training local carers to look after the babies.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Likoko is a wild-caught individual.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Her mother and other members of the group were killed for bush meat.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00And she was confiscated from the people who had her,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03whether they were the actual poachers
0:05:03 > 0:05:06or she'd been passed around as a toy, as happens.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11Bush meat means gorillas killed by people for food.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13It's illegal, but it still happens.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Two-year-old Likoko was the only survivor of her gorilla group
0:05:19 > 0:05:25and was taken into the project's care. She was in a very sorry state.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29She had several medical problems that took a long time to work out,
0:05:29 > 0:05:33but with the other gorillas she's really blossomed.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38She's really happy to be with them. She still loves us, too,
0:05:38 > 0:05:42but to see her with the other gorillas is fantastic.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46It's not just Likoko who has joined the group.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51There's another poor orphan gorilla, Bumbe, who's just seven months old.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Bumbe, who we just got recently, last couple of months,
0:05:55 > 0:06:00same kind of story. Her mother and father were killed for bush meat.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05She, too, had been in a village before being given to the project.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10She's just been introduced to the other gorillas a month or so ago.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15She's the newest addition to the group and, indeed, the youngest.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17And she's doing really well as well.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25Whilst these gorillas have been through a very tough time,
0:06:25 > 0:06:28the project's come to their rescue.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Not only have they nursed them back to health,
0:06:31 > 0:06:36but putting them all together as a family has changed their lives.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Likoko is very sweet-natured.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46Since Bumbe's been up there with them, she's brilliant with her.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51She's got quite a strong maternal instinct for one that young.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56She's been excellent with Bumbe. Those two are together a lot.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01As Bumbe doesn't have a mother to carry her, she tries with Likoko
0:07:01 > 0:07:04and the other youngsters.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08She does it sometimes to Cookie, Likoko does. Cookie's OK for a bit,
0:07:08 > 0:07:12then she's like, "I'm a kid. I don't want this responsibility."
0:07:12 > 0:07:17Likoko's much better and she tolerates her quite a lot.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19They get on really well, those two.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24The youngsters may think Bumbe is a bit of a nuisance,
0:07:24 > 0:07:28but for Donna this baby is the cutest creature around.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33At the moment, I can hear Bumbe playing.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38She's adorable. She's really pretty, really sweet.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43Having once been part of a wild gorilla group for a short time,
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Likoko and Bumbe are a bit more streetwise about the forest
0:07:47 > 0:07:52than the three Donna brought over last year.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57I've seen them playing and interacting, which is great.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01I've known they'd been together, but I haven't seen it firsthand.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04So it's absolutely great.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09Because gorillas in the wild live in groups, it's very encouraging
0:08:09 > 0:08:13that these youngsters are coming together into a kind of family.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17They all see to get on really well.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19It's like a lovely little group.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23So it's just fantastic to come and see that
0:08:23 > 0:08:29and to come and see how good a job everyone is doing out here.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31With support from their carers,
0:08:31 > 0:08:36these gorillas have every chance of forming a troop that can survive.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40How exactly do you teach a gorilla
0:08:40 > 0:08:44the life skills they will need when they grow up?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51'We have a particularly talented group with us today.'
0:08:51 > 0:08:55# Go, David! Go, David! Go, David! Go, David! #
0:08:55 > 0:09:00'They're not just good at dancing. They do a mean interrogation, too.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05'The man who is in for a grilling today is Head Keeper Jim Vassie.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08'Jim is a big fan of Pallas cats,
0:09:08 > 0:09:13'a very ancient breed found on the steppes of Central Asia,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16'from Iran right across to Western China.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20'It isn't easy to breed them in captivity,
0:09:20 > 0:09:25'but Jim has raised several successfully, so he knows a lot.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29'How much does he know, though? We're about to find out.'
0:09:31 > 0:09:37How many kittens do you think a female cat can have altogether?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Well, the average litter is seven.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44- Oh.- Which is a lot. In a lifetime, she could have as many as...
0:09:44 > 0:09:4850, 55, 60, but they don't all survive.
0:09:48 > 0:09:54- When the female cat gives birth, does the male cat help?- Good question.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58The simple answer is no. She doesn't want him around.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Obviously, you know, he might well kill them.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06The female has to be aggressive to protect her kittens.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09So males have no influence at all.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12The female does it by herself
0:10:12 > 0:10:17and will look after the kittens for up to two years by herself.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22- What do they eat apart from rats and mice?- We feed a variety of foods.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27We feed rats and mice, but also rabbit, chicken, pigeon.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29But the favourite is rats.
0:10:29 > 0:10:35- No vegetables?- Unless the animal they eat has had vegetables, no.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40- Do they eat animals alive? - That's a good question. They do,
0:10:40 > 0:10:44but we don't feed them live animals. They catch them themselves.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49If a bird goes in there, or even squirrels, they will eat them.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54So they don't lose the ability to hunt, even in a wildlife park.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Jim's doing really well. Catch him out.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00How long are their tails?
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Good question. I've never measured their tail.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09They've got very short tails and the reason for that is
0:11:09 > 0:11:12it's less to get cold.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17The shorter the tail, the less heat they'll lose from the tail.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22It's half the body length of the cat, but shorter than most cats
0:11:22 > 0:11:26because of the cold. The shorter it is, the less heat they lose.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31- Jim, you've impressed me so far. Is everyone impressed?- ALL: Yes!
0:11:31 > 0:11:35I think it would only be fair of us to try to test you
0:11:35 > 0:11:40and push you to your limit. We'll call for the killer question.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Can you just wait there? Guys, come with me.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Jim needs to be tested and pushed. Come on, out of here.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56They're pretty tough. Good questions, but this is the worry.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00They've caught me out a couple of times. Hopefully not this time.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Shall we ask him? All right, come on, Vassie!
0:12:04 > 0:12:09We've got a question for you. You seem to know everything
0:12:09 > 0:12:13about the Pallas cats, but do you know...
0:12:13 > 0:12:17where the lovely, cute Pallas cats got their name from?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Yes! Yes.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- I know this one!- You don't! Go on.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25A German naturalist Peter Pallas.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30Yes? I believe it was...1776 when he found them.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35- Or came across them. - Well, Jim, you were SO close.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39It's only because you think you know everything I'll say you're wrong.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42It was actually 1778!
0:12:42 > 0:12:44In your face, Jim Vassie!
0:12:47 > 0:12:53You were very close. Just a bit out on the date. Sorry about that.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57It doesn't matter. I think you did all right. What do you think, guys?
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- Thumbs up or thumbs down? - Thumb up!
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Yeah, I'm liking that one! "I don't really know."
0:13:06 > 0:13:09I'm forced to do this. There you go.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- Well done, Jim.- Well done. Some very good questions.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19What did the python say when the adder asked him the time?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21"Don't asssssk me!"
0:13:22 > 0:13:24BUZZING
0:13:26 > 0:13:28What do cats read in the morning?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- I don't know.- Miaowspapers.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Ooh!
0:13:39 > 0:13:42What do you get if you cross a football and a chicken?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44David Peckham.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Boo! Boo!
0:13:58 > 0:14:03Earlier on, myself and keeper Matt Ford made these funky fruit kebabs
0:14:03 > 0:14:07for the lemurs and now it's time to deliver their goods.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11I was going to ask what they would make of these, but...
0:14:11 > 0:14:16- I don't think I need to ask!- They're keen.- What do you want to do?
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- We'll try to hang them up. - OK. Before they mug us!
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Right, so we'll put it up here. Would you...? Thank you.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28I don't think he'll give me a chance! Are they dextrous enough
0:14:28 > 0:14:33- to get the fruit off?- Definitely. They should grip it quite easily.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38- This one's having a little wee! - That's excitement.- Is it?
0:14:38 > 0:14:43- OK, that's one.- Do you want to try to carry on?- Is there a hierarchy?
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Will one particular lemur come up first? Oh, look at this.
0:14:47 > 0:14:52Usually there is a hierarchy. It's the females that are dominant.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56The male has just moved away for the female to paw at the food
0:14:56 > 0:14:59and try to get at what she wants.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- If a male tries to get there first she'll tell it off?- Yeah.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08She'll do what's called cuffing. It's like boxing.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13- Just to move them away.- And I bet they can punch like humans!
0:15:13 > 0:15:18- They use their hands just like us. - Definitely.- Straight for the banana!
0:15:18 > 0:15:23- Like we said.- Bananas are the favourite.- Always the first thing.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26I'll try to put another one up.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31Do they have different techniques or is it always hands first?
0:15:31 > 0:15:36- Will any go with their mouths first? - It's usually the hands.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38As that one's doing there.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Very clever. He got two pieces of fruit in one!
0:15:42 > 0:15:47- Are their feet very similar to their hands?- Yeah, pretty much identical.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51They can grip really well with their back feet.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- Is this a female or male? - That's a female.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Look at that - very clever. Pulling it up like a rope.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04That's easier than them hanging from under the branch.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07They've worked it out quite well.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11They've got really long tails as well. Is that for grip as well?
0:16:11 > 0:16:15That's purely for balance. They can't use their tail for grip at all.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20Moving around the trees, they move it to stop them falling.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25- Right, another kebab. I think we're running out of them!- We are, yeah.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29- It's gone down a treat.- It has. Shall we make some more?- I think so.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- Good idea.- I love the lemurs. Look.
0:16:37 > 0:16:43Now we're off to Africa again for more Back To The Wild.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48The three young gorillas which Donna hand-raised in the UK
0:16:48 > 0:16:52are now living in a gorilla nursery deep in the forests of the Gabon.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57They've been joined by two African orphan gorillas
0:16:57 > 0:17:02and are now a very happy group of five, but they're only one year old
0:17:02 > 0:17:05and gorilla toddlers are like human ones.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10They need milk, protection and they need to be cared for.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15But as they don't have any gorilla parents to learn from,
0:17:15 > 0:17:19they have the next best thing - a team of human carers.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24They sit with the gorillas every day come rain or shine
0:17:24 > 0:17:27and are essential to the lives of these kids.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30The local carers only speak French,
0:17:30 > 0:17:34which is the national language of the Gabon.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Two who have joined the project in the last few years
0:17:38 > 0:17:41are Jamal and Lauren.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45TRANSLATED: We are effectively their parents.
0:17:45 > 0:17:51They are still infants and they need their mum and dad to help them
0:17:51 > 0:17:54with knowing what food and trees to eat.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58As well as teaching them the ways of the forest
0:17:58 > 0:18:02a most important job is to be like a family to the youngsters.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07Jamal says that means acting a little like gorillas.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13TRANSLATED: We must try to walk like them,
0:18:13 > 0:18:18act like them, not make sudden movements. And be just like them
0:18:18 > 0:18:21so we don't make them nervous.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28Every 15 minutes, the carers make a note of what the gorillas did
0:18:28 > 0:18:33and what they've been eating. Or at least they try to!
0:18:33 > 0:18:38There may be a bit of paperwork to do, but being with young gorillas
0:18:38 > 0:18:40means that work is never boring.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45If I said he suddenly starts to clap his hands
0:18:45 > 0:18:49and whistle, you wouldn't believe me, but he does it.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52You see him doing it.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01And Cookie can spend an entire morning walking upright,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03like a human, on her back legs.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14The carers have to live far away from their friends and family
0:19:14 > 0:19:19to be with the gorillas, but there are lots of good things about it.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25TRANSLATED: Sometimes you are not in a good mood.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29You wake up on the wrong side of the bed.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33But as soon as you get to the forest, you are immediately smiling
0:19:33 > 0:19:37because there is a gorilla making funny faces.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41It makes you happy and you forget everything on your mind.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49As they spend so much time with the little gorillas,
0:19:49 > 0:19:53the carers form exceptionally strong bonds with them,
0:19:53 > 0:19:57but eventually, when they are old enough to fend for themselves,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00they will be released into the wild.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05It's the future everyone is working towards, but knowing they will leave
0:20:05 > 0:20:08is still hard for the carers.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15On one hand, we'll be sad, but on the other, we'll be happy
0:20:15 > 0:20:20because they'll be capable of making their own way in life.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25We spent a lot of time together and once they're gone, we'll miss them.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33We really have to try to forget that they won't be with us one day.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37They will be hard to meet. Perhaps we'll see them in the distance.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39It is sad.
0:20:39 > 0:20:44But saying goodbye to the gorillas is still several years away.
0:20:44 > 0:20:50For now, Jamal, Lauren and the team are enjoying looking after them,
0:20:50 > 0:20:54making sure this wonderful gorilla family stays happy and healthy
0:20:54 > 0:20:59so that one day they can live their lives free in the forest.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07OK, you need to concentrate now.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10It's time for today's cheat code.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14All your animals are waiting for their food and treats.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19So type in:
0:21:19 > 0:21:23- Choose carefully to make them happy. - That's how you get babies
0:21:23 > 0:21:26and loads of visitors.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Now we all love a banana butty,
0:21:31 > 0:21:36but this one will leave a bad taste. It's not going to be in my mouth.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41- Is it yours, Chris?- Afraid not. - Who's this one for?
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- For Kinga, the Malayan tapir. - He seems to have a great snack.
0:21:45 > 0:21:50- Why am I making extra banana butties?- He's got a bad back.- Right.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55- We give him painkiller every day. - Hiding it...- In a banana sandwich.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00- All right, then. Just a little bit? - Only half, twice a day.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Once in the evening and once in the morning.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09- Time for his evening dose.- OK. Do I need to cut off the crusts?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11No, he'll eat them. He's not fussy.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14How will we give this to him?
0:22:14 > 0:22:18You're going to walk in and feed it to him, if you want.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Normally we do come in with the tapirs, but today we're outside.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27- Is there a reason for that? - Sometimes he's a bit temperamental.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32- He's a boy, you're in his paddock. But he's all good today.- Right.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- I'll let you know if you need to run! - OK. Well, you can lead me over!
0:22:36 > 0:22:41- I feel a little bit nervous. - No worries.- Who's this?- Malaca.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46- Hi, Malaca. Hi, beautiful. She's a big lady!- She's massive.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51- Am I going to hand this banana butty all in one go?- Yeah, all in one go.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55He should eat it once he's got his mind off the carrots.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00Are carrots his favourite? Oh! He took that straight away!
0:23:00 > 0:23:04- Fast, eh, buddy?- Oh, well done, you. Shall we move away from him now
0:23:04 > 0:23:09- or is he all right?- He's OK. - Don't show us your teeth, gorgeous.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14- He likes a good scratch.- Oh, bless. So loveable. They love tickles.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19We're giving him painkillers. Now my auntie got a bad back.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24She was always going for a massage. Can we not give a tapir a massage?
0:23:24 > 0:23:29We have been giving him, before the drugs, a witch-hazel and arnica rub.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34- Right.- It went on his back. We did that for a while.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38It hasn't had much effect, so now it's drugs. He gets regular massages,
0:23:38 > 0:23:43- we pat him down.- He is really firm. You can't quite get in there.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48- They're solid!- We're talking about his pain. Can you tell he's in pain?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51He seems really happy to me.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55He's happy in himself, but it's when he's moving.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00Malaca was the first tapir up, because he's so lazy and stiff.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04He doesn't want to get up until pushed and I rattle bucket.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09Then he'll waddle on, but he's quite stiff with his back legs.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- So it's his back legs that are sore? - Yeah.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16He seems to be doing really well and happy.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21- How long will you keep giving him this?- Nobody knows, really.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25We'll keep giving it until he seems better, then see how he gets on.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29If he gets worse, we'll keep giving him this.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34Chris, thank you so much. Oi, you! Look after yourself.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39If you ever need a massage, I've got great hands. I think that was a yes.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52It's nearly the end of the show,
0:24:52 > 0:24:57but we've popped down to the elephant paddocks to see the baby.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01- We're with the Head of Section, Dave.- Hi, Rani.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06- How is Itana coming along? So cute! How old is she now?- Eight months.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11- She's doing really well. - She's following Mum there.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16- She keeps close to her.- How does she get on with the herd?- Fantastic.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Everybody's accepted her.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Especially the youngsters. They all go off to play.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Do they?! What games do they play?
0:25:26 > 0:25:30- Oh! Hello, you!- Who's that? - Has he got a leak?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32What's going on?
0:25:32 > 0:25:37He's in musk at the moment, so he don't control himself well.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40That is the biggest pee I've seen! It's like a swimming pool!
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Lucky Itana isn't under there!
0:25:43 > 0:25:47When you said he's going through musk, what does that mean?
0:25:47 > 0:25:52His whole temperament changes. He becomes totally different.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57- He's very dangerous.- You say dangerous, but the others are here.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02- Are they safe in here with him? - Yeah, they know what's happening.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05They'll keep their distance.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09He clearly knows what he's doing and tried to ward us off.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14- Will Itana watch and learn from him? - She will probably watch him,
0:26:14 > 0:26:19- but she also watches her mother. - Ellies are quite clever.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Will she... I hope that's not pee!
0:26:22 > 0:26:27- We'll forgive you. - He's reaching out there.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Is he saying, "Hey, shake my hand, I'm cool"? Or get out of here?
0:26:31 > 0:26:36- He's telling us to go away.- Johny, what do you think we should do?
0:26:36 > 0:26:40I think we should get away. Why don't you stick around?
0:26:40 > 0:26:45- Check out the next episode. - Oh, my goodness!
0:26:50 > 0:26:55We come back to the jungle to see the fantastic achievements
0:26:55 > 0:26:59as Donna tracks down a group of gorillas who once lived in England,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02but are now truly wild.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07One keeper loves his langurs so much,
0:27:07 > 0:27:10he's tried tasting their favourite food.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14- I thought I'd give it a go. - Eugh!
0:27:14 > 0:27:18And how would you like mud poured all over your breakfast?
0:27:18 > 0:27:24- We'll find out what the timberwolves make of it.- Make sure you watch!
