0:00:02 > 0:00:06'Today, on Roar, we go in search of wild gorillas
0:00:06 > 0:00:08'in the jungles of Africa.
0:00:08 > 0:00:13'But things get dangerous when the big male gets too close.'
0:00:38 > 0:00:43- Welcome to Roar. I'm Rani. - And I'm Johny. Rani, riddle me this.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48Which breed of horse is the wildest, most endangered
0:00:48 > 0:00:51and named after Russian explorer N.M. Przewalski?
0:00:51 > 0:00:56Let me think, Johny(!) Are you talking about the Przewalski horses?
0:00:56 > 0:00:59The answer's in the clue there.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- It was when I said "wildest", weren't it?- No, Johny...
0:01:03 > 0:01:08- Forget it. I wonder about you. - Hold on! Let's get on with the show!
0:01:09 > 0:01:11'Coming up today...
0:01:11 > 0:01:16'How would you like it if someone poured mud over your breakfast?
0:01:16 > 0:01:20'We'll see what the timber wolves make of it.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25'One keeper loves his langurs so much,
0:01:25 > 0:01:27'he's tried tasting their food.'
0:01:27 > 0:01:31They love it so much. I thought I'd give it a go.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33'And, in a few minutes' time,
0:01:33 > 0:01:37'we'll reveal today's cheat code for the Roar online game.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39'First, those timber wolves.'
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Dinner! Dinner! Dinner!
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Ooh. Thank you. Mm!
0:01:46 > 0:01:49That looks like gourmet food!
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Er... Thank you, Jim Vassey(!)
0:01:55 > 0:02:00As head of carnivores, you should know better than to ruin my dinner.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05- Why did you do that?- This is an experiment we're going to run.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Now you can't see it there.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- You can't smell it. - No. Can't smell me lovely dinner.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16I know an animal who will know where they've left it, smell it,
0:02:16 > 0:02:21- and remember where they've put it. - I'm intrigued.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26So, you've got a bucket of mud, and something that looks very gross.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Do you want me to carry that? - If you want to.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Which animal's enclosure are we in?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36We're in the timber wolf enclosure.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Where are we going?- Straight ahead.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43What are we doing with this ugly meat and this bucket of mud?
0:02:43 > 0:02:48- We're going to bury their food. - Why would we bury their food?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Where they come from, in the tundra,
0:02:50 > 0:02:55the ground is frozen almost all year round.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57In times of plenty,
0:02:57 > 0:03:02when they kill more than they eat, they're storing for the winter
0:03:02 > 0:03:04for when times are lean.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Most of the animals they chase, like caribou, migrate.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12So they're stuck in their own territory with not much to eat.
0:03:12 > 0:03:18It's almost like they store it in the fridge for later in the season.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23- I'm impressed!- One way they find it, cos you've got three foot of snow
0:03:23 > 0:03:27that has gone on top of their food, they use their sense of smell.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30They must have a good sense of smell.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Am I going to put this in a hole?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36If I make a dent in it for you.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- If you'd like to put that in there. - It's a massive piece of meat!
0:03:41 > 0:03:43It weighs a ton!
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- Will they be able to lift it out? - Hopefully not.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51We'll make sure it is covered so they can't see it.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56- How many timber wolves have we got in here?- Two. There's a pair.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58One male, one female.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02More on top to make it more authentic.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Have you tried this before?
0:04:04 > 0:04:08No. But it's all part of enriching their lives.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13It gives them something to do, gets their brain active
0:04:13 > 0:04:17and their sense of smell, because they don't need to use it much.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21We bring the meat in. They take it away.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- They have to work for it.- Will they be intrigued by a mound of mud?
0:04:25 > 0:04:30- I hope so.- Now, hopefully, they will come out and sniff the meat.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35But the timber wolf's elusive and it's rare we get to see them.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37So we're prepared.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41There is a camera hidden in the trees, ready to catch any action.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- We're going to get out of here now. - Yeah.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Fingers crossed they come out and smell the meat.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55'It's time to leave the park and fly to Africa again.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04'Last year, keeper Donna Honey took three baby gorillas, the Oudikis,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08'to the Gabon so they can grow up to live free in the jungle.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12'It's the latest stage in an ambitious project.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16'Ten years ago, the park set up a gorilla nursery
0:05:16 > 0:05:19'where babies born in captivity in Kent
0:05:19 > 0:05:23'are taught to fend for themselves with local orphans.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25'And it works.
0:05:25 > 0:05:31'Some of the little ones are already wild gorillas living in the forest.'
0:05:33 > 0:05:38Once upon a time they were at the same stage as the Oudikis.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41They had carers seeing to them every day.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Now they don't have people spend time with them.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50They're left to their own devices. We're going to see if we can find them.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54'Liz Pearson has run the project since it started.
0:05:54 > 0:06:00'She'll go with Donna cos visiting the now wild gorillas could be dangerous.'
0:06:00 > 0:06:04We won't go into the forest with them cos it's too dangerous.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07They have no fear of humans
0:06:07 > 0:06:11so even if it's just a nice gentle slap,
0:06:11 > 0:06:15it wouldn't be nice for guests!
0:06:17 > 0:06:20'The first thing is to find them.
0:06:20 > 0:06:26'They could be anywhere in the 2,000 square km national park.
0:06:26 > 0:06:32'Liz thinks that the best bet is to head up the river, to find a group called the Djaltas.'
0:06:32 > 0:06:37The Djaltas have been in this area for a while.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41And I was hoping that, maybe, if they were nearby,
0:06:41 > 0:06:46we'd have a chance that they would come alongside the river.
0:06:46 > 0:06:53As I didn't hear from the trackers this morning, they might be in a completely different area by now.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58'They're keeping their eyes peeled. Suddenly, Donna spots something.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00'But it's not a gorilla.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07'Wild forest elephants are known to live in this part,
0:07:07 > 0:07:09'but it's incredibly rare to see one,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12'let alone find one swimming.'
0:07:12 > 0:07:16We came around the corner and Donna spotted him.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- Very special. It's nice to see. - Didn't expect that at all.
0:07:20 > 0:07:26The elephant seemed so calm as well. It was great!
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Not every day you see that.
0:07:28 > 0:07:34'It's an amazing sight, but there's no sign of the gorillas.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38'Liz knows a spot where she's seen them before.'
0:07:40 > 0:07:45- Can you stand there and hold the boat?- OK.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Don't go downstream without me.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50'Liz doesn't want to be stranded.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55'Even with her experience, the jungle can be a dangerous place.'
0:07:55 > 0:07:58If you want to just stand here.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03- If they arrive, we won't want to be all tied up.- OK. Yeah.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- I thought I heard a "woo"!- I thought I heard a gorilla cry as well.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- You did, too?- Yeah.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15I could just be hearing what I want to hear,
0:08:15 > 0:08:18but strange that we both heard it.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21'Liz needs to be very careful.
0:08:21 > 0:08:28'Although gorillas rarely attack people, they might, if taken by surprise.'
0:08:31 > 0:08:34I feel a bit vulnerable here
0:08:34 > 0:08:39knowing that some gorillas that are more wild than the Oudikis
0:08:39 > 0:08:44could just come round the corner but, er...
0:08:45 > 0:08:49..Liz is over there. I feel safe with the knowledge
0:08:49 > 0:08:53that Liz is probably going to see them before me.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55We're in safe hands.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59It's quite exciting.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04'The crying sound they heard could mean the gorillas are close.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07'But it could be a different kind of creature, too.'
0:09:09 > 0:09:16There is a bird that we call a "crying gorilla bird"
0:09:16 > 0:09:20because the crying out sounds are a lot like a gorilla.
0:09:20 > 0:09:26It's possible it's that, and who knows where they are now?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29'So they haven't found the gorillas yet.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34'Are they so wild that we won't get to see them?'
0:09:36 > 0:09:41What's happening when you hear "Woof. Splat. Miaow. Splat"?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43It's raining cats and dogs!
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Zzzzzz...
0:09:48 > 0:09:54- Where do bees keep their money? - I don't know.- In their "honey" box.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Zzzzzz.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58What does a lion eat?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01"Roar" meat!
0:10:12 > 0:10:15We know primates are clever,
0:10:15 > 0:10:19but we're about to give the Javan langurs a prickly predicament.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24We've got some hawthorn to feed them and check how sharp that is.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Matt, why are we going to give them a sharp point?
0:10:28 > 0:10:32The sharpness of the thorns are just the tree's mechanism
0:10:32 > 0:10:34to stop animals eating the leaves.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39This species, they wouldn't come across in the wild.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43It's a natural defence that the langurs can pick through
0:10:43 > 0:10:45and get the nice leaf matter.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48How? If I was going to eat this with my mouth,
0:10:48 > 0:10:52which I suspect they will do, I'd end up with an injury.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56They've got different pain thresholds to us.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00As we touch them, they cause us pain.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05- Hence me wearing these masculine gloves!- Very fetching.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09With them, their hands are really leathery.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12When they start picking at them,
0:11:12 > 0:11:16if they touch one of the thorns, they're not as affected.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Will they be OK?
0:11:18 > 0:11:23You'll see them wrestling the leafs off each other, grabbing the thorns.
0:11:23 > 0:11:29- It's a strange thing to watch. - Have they got nutritious value?
0:11:29 > 0:11:33The langurs are actually leaf-eating animals.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36This is the best diet that we can give them.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41Because we're from England, we only get leaf for a few months.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46This is a good supplement through the normal diet that they get daily.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51- What happens in the winter when we don't have leaves?- We freeze leaves.
0:11:51 > 0:11:56We strip the leaves off, freeze them and we've got it all year round.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Would they come across anything in the wild
0:12:00 > 0:12:05- that's sharp that's helped them develop special hands?- Yeah.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09In every habitat, there'll be a tree trying to defend its leaves.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14There'll be different versions throughout the world.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19It sounds like the Javan langurs have specially adapted hands
0:12:19 > 0:12:21to combat against these spikes.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Are they the only primates that have those tough hands?
0:12:25 > 0:12:30No. I think pretty much it's a general rule for all primates.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34They have to use their hands to move around.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39They need their hands to be solid so if they jump on a branch with spikes
0:12:39 > 0:12:42it's not going to injure them.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46They can't survive without their hands. I'm sure they're all good.
0:12:46 > 0:12:52We'll let the Javan langurs out and see what they make of our prickly treat. Wicked!
0:12:59 > 0:13:03'We're heading back to the wild again.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08'Donna Honey and Liz Pearson are trying to track down some gorillas
0:13:08 > 0:13:12'who were born in England but released into the African jungle
0:13:12 > 0:13:14'six years ago.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18'A team of trackers try to keep an eye on them.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23'They don't feed them but go out every day to see how they're doing.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27'It isn't easy because now they're wild they could be anywhere.
0:13:27 > 0:13:33'But Liz has heard that the gorillas have been seen not too far away.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37'The trackers found them in an area they often come to.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40'Suddenly, the gorillas appear from the forest.'
0:13:42 > 0:13:46DONNA: No! I cannot believe this!
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Oh, wow!
0:13:50 > 0:13:56I think they're intrigued by extra people being here.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02It's nice that they've come out to say hello.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05'Because they're used to seeing the trackers,
0:14:05 > 0:14:09'the gorillas don't feel frightened or aggressive,
0:14:09 > 0:14:11'but they are inquisitive.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16'Best to keep a boat between them and someone they're not used to.
0:14:16 > 0:14:22'It's amazing to think that these gorillas living free in Africa
0:14:22 > 0:14:24'were born in the park in Kent.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26'Donna remembers meeting them.'
0:14:26 > 0:14:32There's three I met when I was doing voluntary work
0:14:32 > 0:14:35about six years ago.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40And then there's one wild-born orphan, Zuba.
0:14:40 > 0:14:46'The four have become a group led by the oldest male called Djalta.'
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Djalta keeps going like this.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Looking very chilled-out.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56'Djalta's 11, and will soon start to develop
0:14:56 > 0:14:59'the silverback coat of an adult male.'
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Zuba!
0:15:03 > 0:15:07'Zuba and Pammy are the two females.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12'It's hoped they'll mate with Djalta so the troupe will have babies.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17'It would be the ultimate proof that these gorillas have successfully
0:15:17 > 0:15:21'gone back to the wild.'
0:15:21 > 0:15:26It's great to see them like this. It puts things in perspective.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32I'd love to come and see the Oudikis like this one day.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36'Djalta's group are used to Liz and the trackers,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39'but they're curious about the new visitor.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42'Bim's eyeing up the boats.'
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I think she likes you!
0:15:44 > 0:15:48'Which is nice, as long as she stays on the bank.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52'Sensing that the big gorilla might want to say hello,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54'the trackers untie the boats.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58'But Bim isn't the only one who's curious.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03'Group leader Djalta decides to take a closer look.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12'Liz acts quickly, pushing her boat out into the river,
0:16:12 > 0:16:16'which stops Djalta from jumping in with them.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18'That was a close call.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23'He wouldn't mean any harm but wild animals can be unpredictable.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26'And now he's stuck. Gorillas can't swim.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29'He'll have to stay where he is
0:16:29 > 0:16:33'until the trackers can get him out of their boat.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37'For Donna, as a keeper of captive gorillas,
0:16:37 > 0:16:40'seeing a group who's been returned to the wild
0:16:40 > 0:16:43'has been a valuable experience.'
0:16:43 > 0:16:48It's really nice to see these gorillas.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53It puts things in perspective as to how things will be for the Oudikis.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Maybe I'll be going on boat rides trying to find them.
0:16:57 > 0:17:02It's nice to see the results further on down the line.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07'It's great that the Oudikis will live out their lives in the wild
0:17:07 > 0:17:13'but it will be hard for Donna to say her final goodbyes in a few hours' time.'
0:17:16 > 0:17:19HOWLING
0:17:22 > 0:17:26'Rani and Jim buried a big chunk of meat
0:17:26 > 0:17:29'to see if the timber wolves sniff it out.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32'The wolves are shy so we left a camera.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35'It's time to watch the recording.'
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- Can I hit play?- Of course you can.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I'll probably break it now.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44There's the mud pile.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- Who's this one?- The male, Justin.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Justin timber wolf! Wooo!
0:17:49 > 0:17:52He's having a sniff.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56You thought he'd smell his dinner through the mud.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01Yes. We're trying this to see whether they will go for the food.
0:18:01 > 0:18:07- He's digging.- He knows what to do, scraping the mud away.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12That's going to be a bit rank now. Will that bother him?
0:18:12 > 0:18:17No. Their metabolism can cope with rotten meat and frozen meat.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Which they eat in the winter.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- What's he doing?- He's scent marking where he was digging.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27How does he know there isn't another piece of meat
0:18:27 > 0:18:32- that he could have just piddled on? - Maybe that's why he did pee on it.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35His smell now is on that mound.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40- No-one else can go to it?- Someone might, but if they smell his smell,
0:18:40 > 0:18:43they might think, "There's a male wolf around."
0:18:43 > 0:18:46He's taken the meat out,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49placed it on the side, walked away from it.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Typical!
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- Why does he not want to eat that? - He will do.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00She might well come along later and take it down in the den,
0:19:00 > 0:19:0320 foot under the ground.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07They'll nibble on it then bring it back up when it's smelly.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12Thank you for letting us leave the cameras in. We got great footage.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16It's good to see the timber wolves, even though they can't sing.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24Now the bit all you online gamers are waiting for, today's cheat code.
0:19:30 > 0:19:36Type that in to find out what treats you can give your animals today.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49'A few minutes ago,
0:19:49 > 0:19:53'I helped keeper Matt Ford put out hawthorn for the Javan langurs.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57'I think it's mean cos they're wickedly prickly.'
0:19:57 > 0:20:00We've just released the Javan langurs.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04- They've gone straight over and they're not bothered.- No.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07They're walking over it.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12It's hitting the under side of their belly and they don't seem to mind.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Is that extra tough as well?
0:20:14 > 0:20:20They seem to love it so much that they don't mind about the pain.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25- They're trying to get what they can. - Is this a family group?
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Yeah. An adult male, a few breeding females and their offspring.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Do they eat nicely together or is there rivalry?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36There's a definite hierarchy.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40The older females should come in and take what they want.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44They'll move away and the lower dominant animals will take the rest.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Look see how dexterous they are.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Will they be careful pulling the leaves off?
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- Or are they not bothered? - Not bothered at all.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00They just want to eat the leaf so they'll keep pulling.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04They'll probably snap off some of the thorns.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06They've got no worry at all.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- You think they love the taste? - I've tasted some leaves.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15- To me they taste no different. - Have you tasted hawthorn yourself?
0:21:15 > 0:21:20Yeah. They love it so much, but I can't really taste the benefits.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23But obviously, they do like it.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27I must say, if there are any kids at home
0:21:27 > 0:21:30thinking, "There's a hawthorn. I might try some."
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Don't. It really hurts. It's not a good thing to do.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- That is right.- You're a trained pro!
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Let's go back to their hands.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45They're really long, the hands and the feet. Why is that?
0:21:45 > 0:21:51They live in the high canopy in their natural habitat
0:21:51 > 0:21:56and they leap, as you just saw, so they need long hands and feet
0:21:56 > 0:21:58to grasp onto branches.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03That's just an adaptation of being a tree-dwelling animal.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- Have the leaves got medicinal qualities?- For them, it does.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11The leaf matter helps the bacteria in their stomachs,
0:22:11 > 0:22:15which means they burp horrible smells!
0:22:15 > 0:22:20It's a natural thing to keep them going properly.
0:22:20 > 0:22:26The Javan langurs are loving their dinner but I won't be having hawthorn any time soon!
0:22:31 > 0:22:35'Meanwhile, 5,000 kilometres away in Africa,
0:22:35 > 0:22:39'it's time for our final visit back to the wild.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46'Having seen how well the three gorillas she helped to hand raise
0:22:46 > 0:22:51'are adapting to the jungle, Donna is preparing to go back to England.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55'This may be the last time they'll ever see her.
0:22:55 > 0:23:01'She will be taking back video recordings to show the keepers.
0:23:01 > 0:23:07'The youngsters just want to play with the camera and Donna.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19'She knows they don't need her any more. Her job is done.'
0:23:20 > 0:23:24I think that them being here is great.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31A really good outcome. They're in probably the best place for them.
0:23:31 > 0:23:36'As they walk back to the little house where the youngsters sleep,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38'Donna has to behave as normal.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40'If she showed sadness,
0:23:40 > 0:23:43'they might be distressed, too.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47'But the gorillas may have sensed something
0:23:47 > 0:23:51'as someone doesn't want to let her go.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56'Donna has to leave
0:23:56 > 0:24:00'and can't look back, but it isn't easy.'
0:24:04 > 0:24:06I'm going to miss the kids.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11I'm going to miss them loads, like I have done for the past year.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15I'm happy to leave them here.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20Everyone's doing such a good job. I couldn't ask for more.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23It's been a success story for the Oudikis.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26I'm just grateful to be part of it.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29'It's been a very useful trip.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34'It proves that it is possible to return gorillas born in England
0:24:34 > 0:24:37'to their natural habitat in Africa.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41'Oudiki, Kouki and Tiya are the living proof
0:24:41 > 0:24:45'they really can go back to the wild.'
0:24:53 > 0:24:58It's almost the end of the show but we're not just saying goodbye to you
0:24:58 > 0:25:02we're saying ta-ta to two of the tapirs.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06We're with keeper Chris. Who are we saying goodbye to?
0:25:06 > 0:25:10We, unfortunately, are saying goodbye to Kopash there.
0:25:10 > 0:25:16Kopash, he's a big fella but he doesn't account for two tapirs!
0:25:16 > 0:25:21No, Kopash and his grandfather Dang, in the next paddock over.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23So why are you saying goodbye?
0:25:23 > 0:25:28Unfortunately, Kopash is related to all the other tapirs and so is Dang.
0:25:28 > 0:25:33To keep the species going, we've got to get another two in.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Will they be moving and starting off a new "herd" together?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Yeah, they'll be going to the same zoo.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43It's ZooParc Beauval in France.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47So they're hopefully going to start their own family.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49This is Kopash's mum, isn't it?
0:25:49 > 0:25:54The one next door is Ledang, that's his mother.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58How is Ledang going to cope? Is Kopash ready to move away from home?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I think he'll be more worried.
0:26:01 > 0:26:07She'll see it as quite an ease, as he tries to steal all her food.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11- Will him and his granddad be in the same enclosure in France?- No.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16Unfortunately, tapirs are solitary and if we put him in with Dang,
0:26:16 > 0:26:21- he would probably beat him up. - You don't beat up your granddad!
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Definitely not!
0:26:23 > 0:26:26If Kopash and Dang are leaving,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- are you getting maybe some new tapirs?- Yeah.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34Two new males. One the same age as Kopash and one the same age as Dang.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38Does that mean there's a possibility of babies in the future?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40There will be babies. Yeah.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Baby tapirs are the cutest!
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Good luck with it, Chris.
0:26:46 > 0:26:52While we say ta-ta to the tapirs, check out what's coming up on the next episode of Roar.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59'An African wild dog called Dead-Eyed Dave has to be knocked out
0:26:59 > 0:27:02'for a life-saving operation.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06'Will his brother attack him when he comes back?
0:27:06 > 0:27:10'Stand by for one of the longest and thinnest tongues in the world.'
0:27:10 > 0:27:15I'd believe anything about these creatures after today!
0:27:15 > 0:27:18'And are the lion-taled macaques smart enough
0:27:18 > 0:27:21'and strong enough, to break into coconuts?'
0:27:21 > 0:27:24They're all fighting for it now.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26'Don't miss it.'
