0:00:05 > 0:00:08packed with amazing stories, the funniest jokes,

0:00:08 > 0:00:11the scariest animals and the cutest babies!

0:00:11 > 0:00:14So sit tight and hold on,

0:00:14 > 0:00:16cos here it comes!

0:00:41 > 0:00:44- Hello and welcome to Roar. I'm Johny.- And I'm Rani.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47We're up on the safari area and as you can see,

0:00:47 > 0:00:52we are surrounded by some of the 300 animals that live out here.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Normally, these guys graze on grass, browse on trees.

0:00:55 > 0:01:00But each day, the keepers give them some extra food and some treats.

0:01:00 > 0:01:01Yes, and speaking of treats,

0:01:01 > 0:01:04we have an extra special edition of the show today.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06As it's the last episode in this series,

0:01:06 > 0:01:10what better way to end it than by showing you our favourite moments?

0:01:10 > 0:01:12Have a look at this!

0:01:14 > 0:01:16There's the heart-stopping moment

0:01:16 > 0:01:20when we were called to the middle of an animal escape.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23The time when Sam the Roar Ranger

0:01:23 > 0:01:25found out whether he could conquer his fear.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32And the story of three kids who went back to the wild.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35And the keeper who went deep into the jungle

0:01:35 > 0:01:37to discover how they survived.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42We've also had quite a few dramas this year,

0:01:42 > 0:01:45one of which involved this fella here, Kingo the rhino bull.

0:01:45 > 0:01:49He's had trouble with his feet and has had treatment from the vet.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52But to treat his feet, Jane has had to knock him out

0:01:52 > 0:01:55and sometimes, things don't go to plan!

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Kingo weighs well over a tonne

0:01:59 > 0:02:02so whenever they send him to sleep with a dart,

0:02:02 > 0:02:05vet Jane always likes to have plenty of help at hand.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Sedating a rhino is quite complicated.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13The keepers here are brilliant and experienced in sedations

0:02:13 > 0:02:15so it's a complete team effort.

0:02:15 > 0:02:20With so much at stake, our crew was asked to keep out of the way,

0:02:20 > 0:02:23though we were allowed to set up a fixed camera

0:02:23 > 0:02:26which would show most of what happens in Kingo's stall.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32With a dart prepared, Jane went inside to sedate the big rhino.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38And very soon, she had the dart in his shoulder, right on target.

0:02:43 > 0:02:47It usually takes just a few minutes for Kingo to fall asleep.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50We don't envisage problems, but you never know what will happen

0:02:50 > 0:02:53and these animals have a way of throwing problems

0:02:53 > 0:02:55that you don't expect at you.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58So we're all here and ready for anything!

0:02:58 > 0:03:00When Jane went back in to keep an eye on him,

0:03:00 > 0:03:02she spotted a problem.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07His head is really dropping.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09I'm not happy with this, that's all.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Unfortunately, we couldn't see the problem

0:03:14 > 0:03:16because we couldn't move the camera.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20But Kingo had his head stuck in a narrow gap at the end of his stall.

0:03:21 > 0:03:26It's a safety gap for keepers to get quickly in or out in an emergency.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30It was very bad luck that Kingo had somehow got his head stuck there.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35We'll shut the door for a minute.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37The team had an emergency on their hands.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43This was so serious that we kept well back.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46Jane called on the radio for equipment to help free Kingo.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Anyone at the maintenance yard,

0:03:49 > 0:03:53could you bring a saw to cut through a large piece of wood

0:03:53 > 0:03:55to the new rhino sheds by the lodges, please?

0:03:55 > 0:03:59- 'OK, I'll grab something and be there.'- I've got a rhino stuck.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03Have we got any more people? Shall we ask for more keepers?

0:04:03 > 0:04:06They were pushing his head as well as pulling.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09It does look rough, but rhinos are incredibly strong.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Keep going! Keep going!

0:04:14 > 0:04:17The real danger was if he fell completely asleep

0:04:17 > 0:04:20and collapsed with his head still stuck in that gap.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24There were ten keepers trying to get Kingo free

0:04:24 > 0:04:26and they were running out of time.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28We've got to be quick!

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Suddenly, his head started to come free.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Bit more! You're winning!

0:04:33 > 0:04:35More! ..Yes!

0:04:35 > 0:04:39- Keep going!- Make sure he doesn't... - Everybody out.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41The keepers won the tug of war

0:04:41 > 0:04:45and saved Kingo from what could have been a serious injury.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Panic over. We've got the rhino out. You can go now.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Now Jane and the keepers could get on with the operation

0:04:54 > 0:04:57they sedated him for in the first place,

0:04:57 > 0:04:59cleaning out his infected feet.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01Still happy, Derek?

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Since then, Kingo has continued to have problems

0:05:04 > 0:05:07and his feet need to be checked every few months.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09But the news is they're gradually improving.

0:05:18 > 0:05:23One thing we love on Roar is getting to see all the new babies.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26And this series, there's been quite a few.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31# When I'm with you baby, I go out of my head

0:05:31 > 0:05:34- #- I just can't get enough I just can't get enough

0:05:34 > 0:05:36# All the things you do to me

0:05:36 > 0:05:38# And everything you say

0:05:38 > 0:05:42- #- I just can't get enough I just can't get enough

0:05:42 > 0:05:45# We slip and slide as we fall in love

0:05:45 > 0:05:50# And I just can't seem to get enough

0:06:04 > 0:06:07# We were together We're walking down the street

0:06:07 > 0:06:11- #- I just can't get enough I just can't get enough...- #

0:06:12 > 0:06:17But for many people, the cutest baby of the whole series was this one.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19The new Red Panda.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22This was the first they'd had in the park for over three years

0:06:22 > 0:06:27and Mum and Dad were taking good care of the youngster.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31Now I want to see how much the baby has grown.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35So I've come to meet keeper Helen down in their enclosure.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37I'm desperate to meet the baby. There's two here.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40Which one's Lyee and which one is Wingwar?

0:06:40 > 0:06:43This one is Lyee and this one coming to feed is Wingwar.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45Now, little one. Baby.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48We're all desperate to see her/him.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50We don't know exactly what it is yet.

0:06:50 > 0:06:55But he's just having a little climb at the back there.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Oh, yes! Very well camouflaged, actually.- Yeah.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Oh, look!

0:07:00 > 0:07:02He looks really fluffy.

0:07:02 > 0:07:06It is really fluffy. He's got a fluffy body and white face.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Mum is absolutely loving her treats here.

0:07:09 > 0:07:14What about little one? Still suckling or eating anything hard?

0:07:14 > 0:07:17No, he should be pretty much fully weaned now.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21He's eating the meat and fruit and bamboo

0:07:21 > 0:07:24so he should be pretty all on solid food now.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27Do you have to chop it up for the little one?

0:07:27 > 0:07:32- Or can he bite it himself?- Again, he's learned from Mum to pick it up

0:07:32 > 0:07:34with his little paws and bite it.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38There are some bits here which are smaller, which he'll go for.

0:07:38 > 0:07:42They're easier, but no, he's learned from Mum and does it himself.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45Now, compared to Mum, he's still quite small.

0:07:45 > 0:07:49How long before he grows to this massive size of Lyee?

0:07:49 > 0:07:52They're quite slow growing. Probably by about a year,

0:07:52 > 0:07:54he'll be pretty much fully grown.

0:07:54 > 0:07:59Helen, it doesn't matter that the little one hasn't come too close

0:07:59 > 0:08:04cos even from here it's an honour to get this close to a baby Red Panda.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07- They're really endangered.- Yeah.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10It's fantastic. If he stays like that or gets as cute as Mum,

0:08:10 > 0:08:14he'll be a pleasure to come back and see over and over again.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16- Thank you so much, Helen. - That's all right.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36I know you shouldn't throw your food around

0:08:36 > 0:08:38but it's good for gorillas cos in the wild

0:08:38 > 0:08:40they spend most of the day searching for food

0:08:40 > 0:08:43and the keepers like to make them work for it here.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47One of our favourite films was following Donna Honey to Africa

0:08:47 > 0:08:49as she caught up with three baby gorillas

0:08:49 > 0:08:51that she hand-raised here.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53They're learning to live out in the wild.

0:08:53 > 0:08:58It was a truly epic tale that really began three years ago

0:08:58 > 0:09:02when two gorilla babies were rejected by their mums.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06They'd have died if the keepers hadn't looked after them.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08So Donna became their new mum.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12Let's go and change your pants ready for work.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Those two were named Kouki and Oudiki

0:09:15 > 0:09:18and they were later joined by another baby, little Tiya.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23Then last year, all three went back to the wild.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29Over 3,500 miles away to a country called Gabon in West Africa.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36They're now being looked after in a special gorilla nursery

0:09:36 > 0:09:39while they get used to life in the jungle.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44When Donna set off to visit, we went too.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48It took three days to reach the base camp.

0:09:48 > 0:09:52And then a 40-minute hike to where the youngsters now live.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55They hadn't seen Donna for over a year,

0:09:55 > 0:09:59so the question was, would they remember their foster mum?

0:09:59 > 0:10:06It's going to be a bit of a shock for them, so it may take a while

0:10:06 > 0:10:12for them to come over. I'm hoping they'll be pleased to see me.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15The best I can hope for is a little hello

0:10:15 > 0:10:17and then they'll get on with their day.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19We'll soon find out!

0:10:23 > 0:10:26The youngsters have a house to sleep in

0:10:26 > 0:10:29but they spend all day out in the jungle learning how to be gorillas.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32But before they leave the house,

0:10:32 > 0:10:35they always get a cup of milk.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Bless her!

0:10:38 > 0:10:42Then after breakfast, they set off for the jungle.

0:10:42 > 0:10:46But will they notice their special visitor?

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Hello, handsome!

0:10:52 > 0:10:54Oudiki was the first to spot Donna.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57He came straight over to give her a welcome hug.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Kouki wasn't far behind!

0:11:14 > 0:11:17In fact, the kids acted as if they'd never left her.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21They climbed on for a ride, just like they used to.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48That felt really good

0:11:48 > 0:11:56to have Oudiki say hello and Kouki got a ride into the forest as well.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58No, it was nice.

0:11:58 > 0:12:02Probably the best outcome I could get, really.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04After 12 months living in the forest,

0:12:04 > 0:12:07the gorillas are growing up.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10The biggest surprise was how Tiya's changed.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14When she left Donna, Tiya was still in nappies,

0:12:14 > 0:12:17not able to climb or find food on her own.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Tiya has changed dramatically.

0:12:20 > 0:12:24She's climbing and she seems more with it.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27She's grown up quite a lot

0:12:27 > 0:12:30and she looks a bit different, too.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32They're not just climbing a little bit.

0:12:32 > 0:12:36These tough tots can now scamper to the tops of the trees,

0:12:36 > 0:12:38over 15 metres high.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42The jungle is the ultimate adventure playground.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56This is fab to see them out in the forest.

0:12:57 > 0:13:01They're doing what they want, you know?

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Having pretty much a free choice

0:13:04 > 0:13:07to go where they want

0:13:07 > 0:13:11and spend their time pretty much as they please.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14It's lovely.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18Donna has been a gorilla keeper for over five years

0:13:18 > 0:13:20so she knows how to behave around them.

0:13:20 > 0:13:25When I'm with the gorillas, I'm trying to mimic their behaviour

0:13:25 > 0:13:27while I'm with them

0:13:27 > 0:13:33so that they know everything's OK and I'm quite content and happy.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36Trying to give off the right signals, if you like.

0:13:36 > 0:13:40I don't want to come across in a threatening way at all.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43So I'm just behaving like them.

0:13:44 > 0:13:48The gorillas may be free to roam,

0:13:48 > 0:13:50but while they're still growing up,

0:13:50 > 0:13:52they rely on their carers, Jamal and Lauren.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54They get a cup of milk three times a day

0:13:54 > 0:13:57because if they were still with their mothers,

0:13:57 > 0:13:59they wouldn't be fully weaned yet.

0:14:09 > 0:14:14They also need to be taught what is good and safe to eat.

0:14:14 > 0:14:19The only way to do that is for Jamal and Lauren to show them.

0:14:22 > 0:14:26Donna was delighted to see her three kids making such good progress.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28It's great to be here.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31It's a real privilege.

0:14:39 > 0:14:43I'm very happy to be here and see gorillas out in the wild.

0:14:43 > 0:14:47Doing their own thing, doing what they want, just being gorillas!

0:15:00 > 0:15:03What do you get if you cross a football and a chicken?

0:15:03 > 0:15:05David Peck'em!

0:15:05 > 0:15:07GROANING SOUND

0:15:08 > 0:15:10What bone will a dog never eat?

0:15:10 > 0:15:12- I don't know.- Trombone!

0:15:14 > 0:15:17Miaow! Miaow! Miaow!

0:15:18 > 0:15:21- What did the spider say to the bee? - I don't know.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24Your honey or your life!

0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Ooph!- Come on, Rani! Put your back into it!

0:15:40 > 0:15:41- I'm trying, Johny.- Honestly!

0:15:41 > 0:15:45When you're a Roar Ranger, there's one thing you're sure to be doing,

0:15:45 > 0:15:46shovelling poo!

0:15:46 > 0:15:49With tonnes of it each year, there's no shortage!

0:15:49 > 0:15:53But sometimes, our Roar Rangers have to do more than clean up.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56Sometimes, they have to conquer their own fears.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Cockroaches...

0:16:00 > 0:16:01spiders...

0:16:01 > 0:16:03and snakes.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06Most people have a problem with at least one of these.

0:16:06 > 0:16:10But animal keepers have to be able to cope with all sorts of creatures.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13So when Roar Ranger Sam got the Discovery Zone,

0:16:13 > 0:16:15he was ready for the challenge.

0:16:17 > 0:16:21First up was the giant hissing cockroach.

0:16:21 > 0:16:22Do you want to touch it?

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Feel it along the back. It's very smooth. No slime.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27There you go.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Well done. That's OK, is it?

0:16:29 > 0:16:32It was less scary than I imagined it would be.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35Just touching it is brave. But would Sam go further?

0:16:36 > 0:16:38Ready?

0:16:38 > 0:16:42You'll feel the feet on it, the little hooks, the sticky pads.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46If it... It'll just tickle a little bit.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49There you go.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53Sam wasn't even shaking

0:16:53 > 0:16:54and he kept his hand steady

0:16:54 > 0:16:57even when the cockroach decided to go for a walk.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59- OK with that?- Um...

0:16:59 > 0:17:02- It's kind of tickly. - Do you want me to take it?

0:17:02 > 0:17:05- Yes, please!- You'll feel it grip a little bit.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07- There we go.- Phew!

0:17:08 > 0:17:10That's what they call a sigh of relief!

0:17:10 > 0:17:13When it was about to fall off my hand, it really tingled.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17It does give me a chill!

0:17:18 > 0:17:20So, one down, two to go!

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Would Sam cope so well

0:17:22 > 0:17:24with one of the world's largest spiders,

0:17:24 > 0:17:26the Chilean Rose tarantula?

0:17:31 > 0:17:33Where is the venom kept?

0:17:33 > 0:17:36The venom is in the top of the head here.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39These bits in the front are where the fangs are.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45I'm really scared, but I'll do it.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48It's good to give it a go. She's going to walk on.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51If you don't like it, let me know and I'll take her off.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54There you go. She's happy now.

0:17:54 > 0:17:55She's settled, very relaxed.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57It's really hairy.

0:17:57 > 0:18:02Sam's not alone. About one in three people have arachnophobia,

0:18:02 > 0:18:04that's a fear of spiders.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09I was really scared of them, but now I know there's nothing they can do

0:18:09 > 0:18:12and they're not bad unless they want to eat something.

0:18:12 > 0:18:17Having ticked off the creepy cockroach and the scary spider,

0:18:17 > 0:18:19what would Sam make of the sinister snake?

0:18:19 > 0:18:24I usually thought that snakes were deadly. I'd never go near one.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Most snakes are non-venomous.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30Generally, there's nothing to worry about. They're like the spiders,

0:18:30 > 0:18:33they don't want to bite. OK? Right,

0:18:33 > 0:18:37we'll build up to you holding it now. Do you feel confident?

0:18:37 > 0:18:40Snakes are much the same as any other animal.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43They like to have their body supported.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50Our heroic Roar Ranger didn't hesitate to pick up the snake.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53He seems to be braver with every challenge.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56There she goes. How does it feel?

0:18:56 > 0:19:01- Really cool.- Can you feel the muscles? They're very muscular.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04I never thought I'd hold a snake in my entire life.

0:19:04 > 0:19:05It's really cool.

0:19:26 > 0:19:30On Ask The Keeper this year, we introduced a bit of a...twist!

0:19:30 > 0:19:33You guys ask great questions

0:19:33 > 0:19:36but those keepers always seem to know the answers.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38Yes, so we thought we'd make it a bit harder

0:19:38 > 0:19:40and introduced...

0:19:43 > 0:19:47Some of these really were quite tough, and some quite fun, too!

0:19:47 > 0:19:52The indigo snake. Do you know its name in Latin?

0:19:52 > 0:19:53Ah!

0:19:53 > 0:19:55I should know this!

0:19:55 > 0:19:58You should know this, head keeper Rich Barnes.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01Some questions were just hard.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04Where does the word "serval" come from?

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Ooh, that's a good one.

0:20:06 > 0:20:10That's something I've never actually thought about, to be honest.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13Some were just daft.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17How many sets of bongo drums would it take

0:20:17 > 0:20:20to weigh the same as an adult male bongo?

0:20:20 > 0:20:21I don't know!

0:20:22 > 0:20:24But most were hard and daft!

0:20:24 > 0:20:28If you put a cockroach at the bottom of a swimming pool,

0:20:28 > 0:20:31how long could it live under water for?

0:20:31 > 0:20:34Ah, you've got me! You've got me!

0:20:34 > 0:20:38So if a gorilla was to go to the gym and lift some weights,

0:20:38 > 0:20:42how much do you think he could lift in kilos?

0:20:47 > 0:20:48I don't know!

0:20:48 > 0:20:53How many capybaras would it take to weigh the same as a family car?

0:20:53 > 0:20:55Hah! That's slightly unfair!

0:20:56 > 0:21:00An ocelot's eyesight is better than a human being's.

0:21:01 > 0:21:02But by how much?

0:21:02 > 0:21:04Well, I need glasses.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07So their eyesight is definitely better than mine!

0:21:07 > 0:21:11- I've never seen an ocelot... - I don't think Tom knows the answer!

0:21:11 > 0:21:13I'm working it out!

0:21:13 > 0:21:14I'm working it out logically.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18Wake us up when you're ready, Tom! Have a little snooze!

0:21:18 > 0:21:20SNORING

0:21:20 > 0:21:24Can you give us your best howler monkey impression?

0:21:24 > 0:21:29I can't do a howler monkey impression. But I've heard you can.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32So when a keeper actually got a question right...

0:21:32 > 0:21:34Yes! Yes!

0:21:34 > 0:21:36You do! You do!

0:21:36 > 0:21:39It's not surprising that they went bananas!

0:21:39 > 0:21:41You got it right. Well done!

0:21:41 > 0:21:44Look at him! Look how proud he is!

0:21:44 > 0:21:48He got the Killer Question right. What do you think?

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Thumbs up or thumbs down for Tom?

0:21:50 > 0:21:51Excellent!

0:21:51 > 0:21:55Oh, Alec! Thumbs down!

0:22:05 > 0:22:08Look at these baboons. They love their new open-top enclosure.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12I'm not surprised. They've got loads of room to run around in,

0:22:12 > 0:22:14they've got trees to climb

0:22:14 > 0:22:16and, of course, they can get up to bags of mischief.

0:22:16 > 0:22:20Speaking of mischief, we were here on the day they were released.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22Remember?

0:22:24 > 0:22:28There's a group of about 30 Guinea baboons here.

0:22:28 > 0:22:32But the plan was to let just two of them out into the big new enclosure

0:22:32 > 0:22:34to see how they got on.

0:22:35 > 0:22:39It was early morning, well before the park was open to the public,

0:22:39 > 0:22:41and everything was ready.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45We have to point out this is an open-top enclosure.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47They've never been in one before.

0:22:47 > 0:22:52There's an electric fence around the enclosure for their own safety

0:22:52 > 0:22:54and for the safety of the public as well.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58Look, we've got our first one out now, Rani!

0:22:58 > 0:22:59There you go.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02- A little bit of a pace. - I wonder what he's going to do.

0:23:02 > 0:23:06He's looking at the enclosure where the rest of his family are.

0:23:06 > 0:23:12This is something that might happen. He might want to be back with them.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14They're very family-orientated animals.

0:23:14 > 0:23:18- He's going to... - OK, he's approaching.

0:23:18 > 0:23:19SQUEAL

0:23:19 > 0:23:23He's just felt the electric fence for the first time and he squealed.

0:23:23 > 0:23:27There's another one approaching it. Has he learned from his mistake?

0:23:27 > 0:23:30Yes, he's walked completely away from it,

0:23:30 > 0:23:33- which is fantastic news for... - But he's...

0:23:33 > 0:23:37- Oh, no!- OK. We've got a baboon out of the enclosure!

0:23:37 > 0:23:38Don't panic!

0:23:38 > 0:23:40We're all good.

0:23:41 > 0:23:45He's made his way on top of the other enclosure.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48We're going to back up and leave these guys to do their job.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51With one of the baboons free on top of the cage,

0:23:51 > 0:23:54the keepers put an emergency plan into action.

0:23:54 > 0:23:58Jane, the vet, was already standing by

0:23:58 > 0:24:03but our part was to get out of the way, indoors, in a safe place.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07If you can see, we've got a view from the office

0:24:07 > 0:24:10of the baboon who's still on top of the enclosure.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13Jane, the vet, is out there with a dart gun.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19Jane managed to get the baboon with a sedative dart,

0:24:19 > 0:24:21to make him fall safely asleep.

0:24:23 > 0:24:28Simon is checking that the baboon is out and he definitely is.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31That's a lot of weight that Simon's carrying so he has to be careful.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37Brilliant. The baboon is down now and Simon is safely off the roof.

0:24:37 > 0:24:42It looks like mission accomplished. They've done a fantastic job.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45We know the keepers know their stuff about the animals,

0:24:45 > 0:24:49but what's amazing is their expertise in dealing with situations

0:24:49 > 0:24:52that don't happen often, but they have to be ready.

0:24:53 > 0:24:58Soon, the runaway baboon, along with the other one that was let out,

0:24:58 > 0:25:00were both safely back with the rest of the group.

0:25:01 > 0:25:05- You were scared that day!- I don't like to admit it, but I was!

0:25:05 > 0:25:08We were all scared. It was nerve-wracking stuff.

0:25:08 > 0:25:09That was a few months ago,

0:25:09 > 0:25:12but we're with now head of primates, Simon.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16Are we safe? Cos the baboons are just there!

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Very safe. They've done brilliantly in here now. Well relaxed.

0:25:19 > 0:25:23It is such a good group in this cage now. It's brilliant.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25OK. So what changed, then?

0:25:25 > 0:25:28Did you go in and have a good chat with them? What happened?

0:25:28 > 0:25:31How did suddenly they go from all trying to escape

0:25:31 > 0:25:34to just loving it? They love it.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36We changed what we did. We'd only let two out,

0:25:36 > 0:25:40but next time we let the entire group out together.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43So they're more relaxed, all happy together.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46They're a lot happier being together than they are separately.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48This is what we found worked.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51It's worked brilliantly. The babies are together.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54They go off and explore the enclosure together. It's great.

0:25:54 > 0:25:59- Congratulations for the success. They look so happy.- It's brilliant.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06Now, then, all you Roar gamers!

0:26:06 > 0:26:08Here's what you've been waiting for.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11Today's cheat code is rock235.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16Don't forget to check up on your animals.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18Keep an eye on those visitors!

0:26:18 > 0:26:20Happy gaming!

0:26:47 > 0:26:49Just look at this greedy lot!

0:26:49 > 0:26:52- I've only had one! - I wasn't talking about you!

0:26:52 > 0:26:54I was talking about the colobus monkeys

0:26:54 > 0:26:56who are going mad for peanuts.

0:26:56 > 0:27:00We're in the open-top enclosure with the colobus and De Brazza.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03In the wild, these guys will eat fruit, nuts and leaves

0:27:03 > 0:27:06and play an important part of forest life

0:27:06 > 0:27:09because they spread the seeds to help new trees grow.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11- So they're helping the environment? - Exactly!

0:27:11 > 0:27:15I like it. They're lined up ready to take a bow

0:27:15 > 0:27:17because it's the end of this episode of Roar

0:27:17 > 0:27:20and we hope you've enjoyed watching it.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23This is the last programme in the series.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25So from the colobus, Rani and me,

0:27:25 > 0:27:27- it's goodbye for now.- Goodbye!
