0:00:02 > 0:00:07When lions go in for the kill, the prey doesn't stand a chance.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Which is a bit scary, because today on Roar, the prey is me!
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hello and welcome to an all-new series of Roar.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46It is all new, Johny.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48We've got new animals, new stories,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51same old presenters, but we do have a new park.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53This year we're at Longleat Safari Park.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56As you can see, we're already surrounded by animals.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- You know what?- I reckon this lot are really going to like us.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01I'm scared they're going to eat us!
0:01:01 > 0:01:03And I would like to explore this new park,
0:01:03 > 0:01:07so I think we'll get this show and this truck on the road.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Move it out, boys!
0:01:10 > 0:01:15This park is home to almost 1,000 animals, so there's lots to explore.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Today, I'll be taking a voyage of discovery...
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- and meeting the three-ton killers! - Hippos are incredibly dangerous.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- Really?- Yeah. They're one of Africa's most notorious killers.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32The pygmy goats are having a baby boom,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34but one of the newborns has a problem.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37We are still very concerned about the little one.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38So will she survive?
0:01:40 > 0:01:44And the keeper tries to bribe his way out of a tricky task!
0:01:44 > 0:01:49- If anyone wants some of these... - Oh, you little cheat!
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- 'Maybe he should have let the bird do the talking!'- Hello!
0:01:58 > 0:02:00On Roar, we know all about lions.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03But I've heard meeting them here
0:02:03 > 0:02:06is unlike anything we've ever done before.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12I've come down to meet lion keeper Bob, because he said
0:02:12 > 0:02:15he's going to give me a VIP guided tour of the lion enclosure.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Hiya, Bob.- Hello, Johny. How are you?- Where's the limo, then?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I'm good, thank you.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23You take those, jump in there - we've got some very hungry cats to feed.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- It's not a limo? - No, no, unfortunately not!
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Are you sure this is safe in here? - Very safe.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43'This is a new experience.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48'I'm the one inside the cage while the animals are outside looking in!'
0:02:50 > 0:02:55Look at the lions running alongside us! They're waiting for their food.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Do you think they'll be attacking us or anything?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Because I guess we're the prey.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Well, we ARE the prey, and what they're doing is they're chasing us
0:03:03 > 0:03:05and they also chase each other.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08They're just practising their hunting skills.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11I tell you what, it's incredible being here.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13There's just a small cage in between me
0:03:13 > 0:03:18and these lions. There's such a wildness in their eyes.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19So, where do we put the meat, then?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Seeing as we're in a cage, there's only one way out.- Right.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- That's down this hatch.- Right.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27So if you chuck the meat down there, they'll grab it and then run off.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31There's no way... It's so bizarre to see this big opening here -
0:03:31 > 0:03:32there's no way the lions can get in?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Not while it's on its wheels!- Right!
0:03:35 > 0:03:37That's good to know, reassuring!
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Right, let me pop this big chop down.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- A heavy one there.- There we go.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- Oh, look - she's got that one. - She's grabbed a piece.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47You know what, I've just picked up
0:03:47 > 0:03:50this chunk of meat that was really heavy for me,
0:03:50 > 0:03:51and she's picked it up
0:03:51 > 0:03:54like it was effortless, like it was nothing, like it was a feather.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57They are very, very strong creatures.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59If they're in the wild, they'd be hunting buffalo,
0:03:59 > 0:04:04they'd be hunting zebras and they'd have to take them down.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07They'd knock them over and just start eating them.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12So I guess they have to be strong to knock other big animals down.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Yeah, otherwise they'll starve to death.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I've just put some ribs out there.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19How do they get the meat off the bone?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23What they do is, as soon as they've pulled it off using their teeth,
0:04:23 > 0:04:27they use their tongue to lick any meat that's left on the bone.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30On the tongue, it's very, very coarse hair.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33And it's like a file or a rasp.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36As they're licking the meat, bits and pieces are coming off,
0:04:36 > 0:04:39and they're taking it in.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42A couple more pieces of meat left. Shall I put it out?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Chuck that out, and then I think we're pretty well done then.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Well, they're not following us any more,
0:04:47 > 0:04:49so they must be pretty bored of us at the minute.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51We should get out before they decide
0:04:51 > 0:04:53they want a second course!
0:04:55 > 0:04:57In fact, we've got a second course for YOU,
0:04:57 > 0:05:02because there are two prides here that need to be fed.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06And the next gang are bigger, older and hungrier.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22These are African pygmy goats.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27At the moment, they've got a herd of 14 here, but that's about to change.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30The keeper in charge of them is Bev Evans.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34There is actually quite big news at the moment, so we're overexcited
0:05:34 > 0:05:37here with the goats, cos we've got three of our youngest females,
0:05:37 > 0:05:42who are all about three years old, due to give birth
0:05:42 > 0:05:45any day now, to be honest. It's very exciting times, actually.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49One of the pregnant mums is called Bubble
0:05:49 > 0:05:55and she's very important to Bev, because Bubble is the comeback kid.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59It all goes back to when she was born.
0:05:59 > 0:06:05Bubble was the smallest baby of three, and her mother rejected her.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Bev had no choice but to take her away and try and save her.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12But poor Bubble was so weak and cold,
0:06:12 > 0:06:16it looked like she didn't stand a chance.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17It was touch and go
0:06:17 > 0:06:20whether she'd actually survive when she was very little.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25And there was a moment when they thought she'd actually died.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31But Bev didn't give up, and Bubble came back.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Slowly, she got stronger and stronger,
0:06:36 > 0:06:38and when she was a week old,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41she could join the other kids playing outside.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45And now, three years on,
0:06:45 > 0:06:48the comeback kid is about to have kids of her own.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Very excited at the moment about Bubble.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57She's a special goat to a lot of the keepers here,
0:06:57 > 0:07:00so we're very, I think, overexcited to see Bubble become a mum.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02That'll be great.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05But after the drama of Bubble's birth,
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Bev knows you can't be too careful.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11She's called in safari park vet Duncan Williams.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16- So how are we getting on, then, Bev? - Very well, actually.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Bubble's very, very close to her due date.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Every day we're seeing changes.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25- She's getting bigger, and her udders are coming down.- The udders are huge.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26When goats are about to give birth,
0:07:26 > 0:07:31their udders start to fill with milk, ready to feed the new babies.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Looking at the udders,
0:07:32 > 0:07:35I would say they're probably all within a week or so.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40- Possibly this one here could be days, really.- Yeah.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45So it looks like Bubble might be the first, but there's more
0:07:45 > 0:07:47to being a mum than just giving birth,
0:07:47 > 0:07:49and she could have difficulties.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Bubble, since she was hand-reared,
0:07:51 > 0:07:55she hasn't had the experience of her mother,
0:07:55 > 0:07:59so that may be an issue in terms of she doesn't know what to do,
0:07:59 > 0:08:02how to look after babies, cos she hasn't had that.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06If Bubble does have a problem, at least Bev could help...
0:08:06 > 0:08:10if she was around. But there's a snag.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I am going on holiday in about a week's time.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Bubble did promise me she'd give birth before I left,
0:08:15 > 0:08:18which is likely, highly likely.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21But I think Bubble will probably do it before I leave,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Marcia while I'm away and Lottie when I get back.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28But of course, no-one can really control when babies get born.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Bev has saved Bubble's life once already,
0:08:31 > 0:08:35but will she be there if the comeback kid needs her help again?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37We'll have to wait and see.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51One one side of the safari park, there's a huge lake.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53It's half a mile long.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57They tell me it's home to a very strange mix of creatures,
0:08:57 > 0:09:01and the only way to explore it is by boat.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06All aboard! Ahoy, shipmates!
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I'm here at Half Mile Lake to meet the inhabitants.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Who better to take me round than Captain Mark? Reporting for duty!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Can I stop speaking like this and take this off?- Yes.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Thank you very much! I'm very excited - Half Mile Lake.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- And I've noticed we've got a noisy animal down here.- We do.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- This is a sea lion called Zook. - Hiya, Zook!
0:09:24 > 0:09:27How many sea lions have you got out here?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29We've got four in the lake at the moment.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- There's another sea lion as well! - This is Buster.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34He's huge!
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- He's a 15-year-old male. - Can I feed a little bit?- Yeah.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I'm going to get stinky hands. What are they saying to us?
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- "More fish, please!" - More fish, here we go! All right?
0:09:44 > 0:09:45We came out on Half Mile Lake,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48and I was expecting to see some water animals,
0:09:48 > 0:09:49but over there's a gorilla!
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- That's our gorilla, Nico. - Is he by himself?
0:09:52 > 0:09:57He is by himself, unfortunately. His partner died three years ago.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59What's he doing out on the lake?
0:09:59 > 0:10:00That's where he lives.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03He's lived out there since 1986.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06In fact, Nico is one of the oldest gorillas in the world.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13But at 50, he's just too old to accept any new companions.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15SEA LION BARKS
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Do they have to be so loud?! I'm the loud one round here!
0:10:18 > 0:10:21You'll go some to beat Nancy. She is extremely noisy.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24That's how she gets the attention to get the fish.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27I'm sorry, viewers, if this is giving you a headache,
0:10:27 > 0:10:30but I've got to say it's pretty amazing to be here as well.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- And there's a hippo there. - There's the hippo!
0:10:33 > 0:10:38- Do they ever come out of the water? Do they just stay?- They do, yes.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39There's another one!
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Sorry, I'm getting really excited! I've not seen the hippos before!
0:10:43 > 0:10:44That's Spot and Sonia.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- Male, female?- Both females.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I can only see heads. Are they very little?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Have they got little bodies?! - Absolutely not.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Huge bodies. They can weigh anything up to three tons.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Are they floating in the water or are they hitting the floor?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- What's going on there? - They do kind of swim of a fashion.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04It's bouncing off the bottom and paddling their legs,
0:11:04 > 0:11:05doggy-paddle style.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09They're quite quick, though, at moving.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11They do, they're very stealthy as well.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15They can move around quickly without knowing where they've gone.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Are they quite dangerous?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Hippos are incredibly dangerous, really.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23They're one of Africa's most notorious killers.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28They tend to tip over small boats, is one of the things they're good at.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Small boats, you said! We're on quite a big boat here.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34This one's safe. And also, when they go out grazing at night,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37and people are going to the waterholes,
0:11:37 > 0:11:41sometimes they get stuck in the middle and get trampled.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- They're vegetarians, aren't they?- They are.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- So they're not killing for food. - They're just that kind of animal.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52If they're spooked or scared, they run for water. That's their safety.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55So if you're in the way, you're just going to get flattened.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59So never be between hippo and water, is that kind of a rule?
0:11:59 > 0:12:00- That is a rule.- You said grazing.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04What about here, do they ever get out and graze?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Yes, they've got the run of this field over there.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- They graze out there, mainly at night.- How come at night-time?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14They are nocturnal feeders. It's cooler, it's better for them.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15They go out at night.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Mark, I have really enjoyed my trip on Half Mile Lake
0:12:18 > 0:12:22and I think the animals are getting on swimmingly too. Thank you.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- BARKING - Ssh!- I'm on telly!
0:12:35 > 0:12:38What do you call a pig who knows karate?
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Pork chop!
0:12:39 > 0:12:42BOTH: Ooh-ooh-ooh!
0:12:42 > 0:12:44What do fish like to watch?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Tele-fish-ion!
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Meeow!
0:12:48 > 0:12:50What do you call a sheep with no legs?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- Don't know.- A cloud!
0:12:52 > 0:12:56THEY LAUGH
0:13:01 > 0:13:04'There's not much to laugh about where I am -
0:13:04 > 0:13:08'inside a cage on wheels that's piled high with meat,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11'right in the middle of a whole pride of hunting lions.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17'This is the second lot and they look even hungrier than the first.'
0:13:17 > 0:13:18Can I ask you a question?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22First time in this truck, I'm a little bit scared.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Could they possibly either get in here
0:13:24 > 0:13:27or are they strong enough to push us over?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30No, we are very, very secure in here.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33The only problem that we would have would be
0:13:33 > 0:13:35if they tip it and the cage went on its side.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Then we might have a bit of a problem.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- But I'm sure you could fight them off!- I'm not so sure I could, but...!
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Looking at the size of these fellas!
0:13:43 > 0:13:46How many lions have we got in here, then?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49We've got five lionesses in this pride,
0:13:49 > 0:13:53ranging from 23 years old to about 10.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55And how long will they generally live?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57In captivity, late teens, early 20s, but in the wild,
0:13:57 > 0:14:0110 would be a very old age.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02Wow, really?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05This is our old girl. She's 23, so we save her...
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- If you want to give her the big treat...- I'd love to.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- So what's her name, then? - This one's called Naomi.- Naomi.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Is she still healthy, she's still doing well?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16She's doing all right with that!
0:14:16 > 0:14:18She's really fit and healthy.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21A little bit slower, but then she's a granny, so...!
0:14:21 > 0:14:23She's doing all right, then!
0:14:23 > 0:14:28You don't expect your granny to run after the ice-cream van, do you?!
0:14:28 > 0:14:29No, that's true!
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Bob, it's one thing to get up close to a lion
0:14:33 > 0:14:36but another to be chased by one. To be able to feed them,
0:14:36 > 0:14:37it's been brilliant.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39- Thank you so much.- That's OK.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- Right, that's the last piece out there.- Brilliant.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Job done?- Job done.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Back up with the pygmy goats,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55everyone's been waiting for a baby boom to start.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Days have passed and nothing's happened,
0:14:58 > 0:15:03and now Bev has gone away on holiday.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05But finally, there's been a development.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10- Keeper Corinne Hill has rushed up to the barn.- It's very exciting.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12We've actually got a baby goat.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14It's a new edition, so I'm going in to check on Mum
0:15:14 > 0:15:16and see about what's happened.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24The baby was born in the night so is only a few hours old.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Good girl!
0:15:26 > 0:15:27And it turns out that
0:15:27 > 0:15:31the first mum to give birth wasn't Bubble after all.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33It was Lottie.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35I just want to go in and check it over,
0:15:35 > 0:15:37make sure Mum's fine, the little one's fine.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I'm also going to spray it.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41It's just a sort of antibacterial,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44just to make sure the umbilical cord's nice and clean.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48It is, looking at it, it's a little boy. It's a male.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53He's maybe four hours old, six hours old, so still quite young, bless him!
0:15:54 > 0:15:57The first few hours are very important.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01The baby must drink his mother's milk to survive.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04But finding those teats can be tricky for a newborn kid.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07At the moment, he's at the wrong end.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Lottie seems quite good as a first-time mum.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12She's trying to stand over him.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15It's up to him to find her teats and start suckling.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18So it's a patient game, really, of him finding the nipple.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Hopefully, it won't be long before Bubble and Marcia have
0:16:24 > 0:16:27their babies too, so this youngster will have someone to play with.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Baby pygmy goats are very cute. They're absolutely lovely.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Certainly, once he gets a little bit older,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35more confident, they're spring-loaded,
0:16:35 > 0:16:40they start skipping around, and it's hilarious, absolutely brilliant.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44As you can see from these pictures.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49They're from the baby boom they had here three years ago.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57But right now, just standing up is a challenge for Lottie's kid.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59And there won't be much bouncing
0:16:59 > 0:17:03if Marcia and Bubble have problems giving birth.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07So, will Bev be back in time to help? Stay tuned to find out.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Hey, all you gamers - great news!
0:17:14 > 0:17:18The Roar online game is back in business on the CBBC website.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24The idea of the game is to create your own wildlife park
0:17:24 > 0:17:25and look after all the animals.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29On every programme, we give out a cheat code that will unlock
0:17:29 > 0:17:34features you'll need to help make your park a success.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37And today, that code is snow1.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Make a note of it now, cos you'll need it later.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Happy gaming!
0:17:57 > 0:18:01For the first Ask The Keeper of the series,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04the gang have come to the Animal Adventure area.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07There are loads of new creatures here,
0:18:07 > 0:18:11but we're starting with keeper Jon and his feathered friends.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Who's a pretty girl, then?!
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Well, me, of course, but will Jon still be sitting pretty
0:18:16 > 0:18:19after we've grilled him on Ask The Keeper?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Let me warn you, these guys have got some really tough questions.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27- But not to be rude to your friend here. Hi, Gunner!- Hello!
0:18:27 > 0:18:30It worked, as well! That was good, wasn't it?!
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Who wants to ask Jon the first question?
0:18:32 > 0:18:37- Why do parrots copy people? - They don't just copy people.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40They copy lots of different sounds and actions.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43There's a parrot that copies a monkey
0:18:43 > 0:18:44to scare off other parrots,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47and then that parrot can eat their food.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51So it's not even just people. They're obviously very, very clever.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53How many different types are there?
0:18:53 > 0:18:57There's actually about 350 types of parrot.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00All these guys that you can see here are all macaws.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02They're one of the bigger species of parrot,
0:19:02 > 0:19:05and there is 17 species of macaw.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09- How strong are they?- How strong? They're pretty big birds.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12They're pretty strong. They've got a good grip.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Gunner's gripping onto this baton nice and tightly.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18The thing which is the strongest, without a doubt,
0:19:18 > 0:19:19has to be their beak.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23So obviously, they eat lots of hard nuts and hard fruits.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Gunner, she might have a go on this hazelnut.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Want to see if you can break this nut?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- Have a little go if you can break it. - Go on, then!
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Don't step on it, that's cheating!
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- Just using the tools available! - Can you break that one?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Do you want to see if Gunner can break it?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Let's see if Gunner can break it.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42It depends if she's hungry. Have a little go, Gunner?
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- There we go!- Well done, Gunner! All right, more questions, then!
0:19:50 > 0:19:54- How many feathers do parrots have? - How about you have a count?!
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Have a little count, let me know!
0:19:56 > 0:19:58What do you reckon? Quite a lot.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00They do lose their feathers quite a lot.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02There's a few hanging around.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05They fall out when the new ones get pushed through,
0:20:05 > 0:20:08and they push the old ones out.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Jon, I think you're doing really, really well, but we do want
0:20:11 > 0:20:15to catch you out, so we're going to come up with a killer question.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16THEY WHISPER
0:20:18 > 0:20:23- Jon looks nervous! - ALL:- Yeah!
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Jon, they seem excited about catching you out.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28OK, we think you've done really well,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31so we're going to give you a task now.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32OK. I tell you what, before...
0:20:32 > 0:20:34before you give me the task,
0:20:34 > 0:20:37I don't want to affect it, how easy or difficult it is,
0:20:37 > 0:20:40but I found a few things on the floor a minute ago -
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- I don't know if anyone wants some of these?- Oh!
0:20:43 > 0:20:44You little cheat!
0:20:44 > 0:20:48I don't need them, Archie doesn't need them, so I don't know...
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I wouldn't want it to affect how the task goes, but...!
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- Jon, I'll take those for safety. - There is one for you as well.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56There is five.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59I'll take those for safekeeping, but you are not out of this task.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Please can you make Gunner say "Roar"?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Because the show's called Roar,
0:21:04 > 0:21:07we would like Gunner to say "Roar".
0:21:07 > 0:21:08OK.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13I don't know how that's going to go. Gunner, can you say "Roar"?
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Can you say "Roar"?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Hello.- I'm afraid you'll have to change the programme to Hello!
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- Can we change the programme to Hello?- No!
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Can you make Gunner say anything else? Like, "You lose, Jon"?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Gunner, can you say, "You lose, Jon"?
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- Hello.- Oh, dear. One-trick pony, I'm afraid!
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Thumbs up or thumbs down for Jon? Oh!
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Give me the feathers back, please!
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Or do you want to change your mind?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- Change your mind, feathers back? - I think the thumbs speak.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51The thumbs speak. Thumbs up, and a feather for you all.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Say, "Thanks, Jon."
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- Thanks, Jon.- Thanks, Jon. - Thanks very much, Jon.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03There's some great news from the pygmy goats.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Bubble has now become a proud mum,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10and Bev was back from her holidays in time to help with the birth.
0:22:10 > 0:22:16I am so pleased to have made it back off holiday. The birth was amazing.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18She did it really quickly.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21She cleaned them up an absolute treat.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23They are really, really fluffy.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26And she's just making the most wonderful mother.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Bubble has had two healthy babies - one boy and one girl.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I think it's amazing.
0:22:35 > 0:22:41Bubble's had quite a traumatic life, and this is her first baby,
0:22:41 > 0:22:42so I'm chuffed to bits.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44While it's looking good for Bubble,
0:22:44 > 0:22:47there's cause for concern with Marcia.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52She has also just had a boy and a girl. They're now one day old.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55And the little girl may have some problems.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59At the moment, Marcia's doing really well.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02She's feeding both the babies, but we are still
0:23:02 > 0:23:05very, very concerned about the little one.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09She is much, much smaller than the little boy and also she's got...
0:23:10 > 0:23:12If she'll let me.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15She's got quite weak legs, which have been quite bendy.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18She was having trouble to walk at first
0:23:18 > 0:23:20and she was a bit bandy, to be honest.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23A lot of times, things like that just straighten out.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25But just because she's little,
0:23:25 > 0:23:29we are completely... quite concerned about her.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Small and weak babies are sometimes rejected by their mothers.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Then their chances of survival are not good.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Bev and her team are ready to save the baby if they need to.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44They've been checking on the little one day and night.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Well, overnight, we did pop up just to make sure she was all right,
0:23:48 > 0:23:52because in the first few hours, that's when she'll flag,
0:23:52 > 0:23:56and that's when you really need to step in.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58But she survived the night.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01What we need to watch, as she starts sleeping more,
0:24:01 > 0:24:02she sits down more.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05You've got something to compare it to - her brother.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08She's been on her feet most of the morning, pootling about.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12She dozes a bit. It's quite tiring, being born.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14I imagine, if I had to worry about anyone,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17and we have five here, it's the little one.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19But for now, she's surviving.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24And with four other kids in here, the barn is still a fun place to be.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30They are so soft and so lovely.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Nothing beats a baby goat, to be honest.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40We'll be back with the pygmy goats later in the series to find out
0:24:40 > 0:24:43if Marcia's little one survives to bounce outside
0:24:43 > 0:24:45with all the new kids on the block.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54It's almost the end of our first day here,
0:24:54 > 0:24:59and there are still hundreds of animals we haven't met.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Lucky this is just the start of the series.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07What a day! Have you enjoyed our new home?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09It's been quality.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11I've got to see loads of animals
0:25:11 > 0:25:15and I also got to feed the really big cats, which was amazing!
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Pretty scary too.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- You were scared of the pussy cats! - They're not just pussy cats.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22I was in a cage, and they were running round.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24What have you been up to?
0:25:24 > 0:25:27I had a tour of the lake. I saw Nico the gorilla,
0:25:27 > 0:25:30I got to see the two largest lumps in the park,
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Spot and Sonia, the hippos,
0:25:32 > 0:25:36and I found something that is louder than me - the sea lions!
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- Amazing.- I doubt they're louder than you.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42I had such a great day, I can't take any more. I'm happy.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44We have got time for one last treat.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46We're here to meet head keeper Andy,
0:25:46 > 0:25:50who's going to let us watch the rhinos go to bed. But where is he?
0:25:51 > 0:25:56- Here's Andy. Hi, Andy.- Hi, guys. - And who's this coming over the hill?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58We've got Marashi and Anjanu.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01They look excited, shaking their heads as they run down!
0:26:01 > 0:26:04They're ready for bed. Their bellies are rumbling.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- So, what kind of rhino are they, then?- These two are white rhino.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10You can tell with their wide lip.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Can I just say, even though you said their belly's rumbling,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16they are being chased to bed, like most of our viewers, aren't they?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19It's not like someone said, "Off to bed," and they go, "OK!"
0:26:19 > 0:26:22They're like, "Go to bed!" Is that what's happening here?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25We kind of guide them down with a tractor and we get them moving,
0:26:25 > 0:26:29because it's quite a nice bit of exercise as they come down.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31So there's no force involved whatsoever.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37- I think they see the tractor as another rhino.- Really?!- Yeah.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38Not good eyesight!
0:26:38 > 0:26:40About the same size, though!
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- Unfortunately, we are out of time today...- No, we're not.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- Can you just pick all this up, please?- Scrape the poo?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49You've had an easy day by the sounds of it, so if you could do that...
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- Could you lock up when you're done? I'm going home.- Thanks, Andy(!)
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Bye.- I knew this was too good to be true.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58As we end the day in style, you lot check out
0:26:58 > 0:27:00what's on the next episode.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04Do you know what, Johny, I'm going home too! Ha ha ha!
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Next time on Roar, the keepers need to move the otters,
0:27:09 > 0:27:14but they've got razor-sharp teeth and they're ready to fight.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- Ah(!)- We'll see who's got the bottle
0:27:16 > 0:27:18to take on the stick insect from hell!
0:27:20 > 0:27:24And I'll be helping Bob feed the wolves, and this time,
0:27:24 > 0:27:26we get out of the cage!
0:27:26 > 0:27:27I've done things in my time,
0:27:27 > 0:27:32but I have never gone in a wolf enclosure with their food!
0:27:34 > 0:27:35So don't miss it.
