0:00:02 > 0:00:06The meerkat babies have a lot to learn - how to hunt, be sentries -
0:00:06 > 0:00:12but will they survive the most dangerous lesson of all?
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Dinnertime with the family.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44- Welcome to Roar. I'm Rani. - And I'm Johny. You know what?
0:00:44 > 0:00:49- You remind me of a marmoset.- Small and cute?- Always looking for food!
0:00:49 > 0:00:54Thanks, Johny(!) I think we should get on with the show.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Now where's that apple?
0:00:56 > 0:01:00'Coming up today: start practising your "ahhhs"!'
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Ahhh!
0:01:02 > 0:01:06'I catch up with the baby otters now they're seven weeks old.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13'The bongos are very shy, but I'll try to get closer than ever before.'
0:01:13 > 0:01:16I've never been so close to a bongo.
0:01:16 > 0:01:22'And the Roar Rangers want to feed the tigers. The tigers want them.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25'Stick around to see who gets what they want.'
0:01:25 > 0:01:27ROARS
0:01:36 > 0:01:41There's always lots going on at Meerkat Mountain.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44The big news is the five babies.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47They're almost nine weeks old.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51It looks like they spend all day playing around,
0:01:51 > 0:01:55but they're very busy learning how to look after themselves.
0:01:55 > 0:02:01For any young meerkat, almost everything is a lesson in survival.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05And meerkat school is a school of hard knocks.
0:02:09 > 0:02:15It's so important because they are from a dangerous part of the world -
0:02:15 > 0:02:20the Kalahari Desert - and other dry and barren areas in Southern Africa.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Their lives are fraught with danger
0:02:24 > 0:02:29and the babies must learn survival skills from a young age.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Keeper John Reynolds helps them.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Now he's got their morning snacks.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39This is basically cat biscuits.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43We give them all sorts of different treats in a day.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Sometimes fruit and veg, carrots or apple.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52Cat biscuit, bugs. We scatter it on the mound, the sand, all here.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56They have to climb up on things, dig in the sand,
0:02:56 > 0:03:01go in the grasses to dig it out, to make it as natural as we can.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07To get a meerkat's eye view of the action, John has an unusual camera.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Strapped to my foot is a camera.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16That's so you can have a ground eye view of what is going on
0:03:16 > 0:03:18with the meerkats.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20For today's lesson,
0:03:20 > 0:03:24we'll concentrate on the basic principles of survival.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Lesson One: fight for your food.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34When John spreads the cat biscuit,
0:03:34 > 0:03:40the meerkats go wild. If they want to eat, they have to be fast, tough
0:03:40 > 0:03:43and ready to rumble.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45It teaches them to fight
0:03:45 > 0:03:49and spar and things like that. That's good.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52It teaches them self-defence.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56It helps their muscles. Running around makes their muscles stronger.
0:03:56 > 0:04:02In the wild, as they get stronger, if they get involved with predators
0:04:02 > 0:04:06they'll be able to run away. So there's more chance of survival.
0:04:06 > 0:04:12Survival Lesson Two: look out for danger.
0:04:12 > 0:04:18Out in the wild, there are many predators that enjoy a meerkat,
0:04:18 > 0:04:23especially a little one. So they must learn how to keep guard.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28What happens in a meerkat group is most of them are looking for food,
0:04:28 > 0:04:33playing, and then you have one meerkat, the unlucky meerkat,
0:04:33 > 0:04:39who is standing guard, looking for any signs of danger, on sentry duty.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44They'll be standing up over there somewhere, sat on his back legs.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47He'll be looking all over for any predators.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52- He'll let the rest of the group know and they'll hide.- Simples!
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Survival Lesson Three:
0:04:56 > 0:04:59hide from predators.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05When the sentry spots a predator, all the meerkats run for cover.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07In the wild, it's life and death.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12It could be a snake, it could be a bird of prey
0:05:12 > 0:05:16or the other terrible predator - a plane.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21They see them soaring and think it's a massive bird.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26The youngsters all followed the adults and hide under a tree log.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35It wasn't a bird - it was a plane. But they don't know that.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39All they see is something flying. Got to hide.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42This morning's lesson is going well.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46It's gold stars all round for the pupils.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51But the babies are about to tackle the toughest part of their day -
0:05:51 > 0:05:53dinnertime.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56So don't go away.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07Earlier in the series, the keepers rescued the otters' new babies.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14Their two previous litters had all died.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18We think mum Rosie doesn't produce enough milk to feed them.
0:06:19 > 0:06:25So to save these babies, keeper Bev Allen became their foster mum.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29She's very experienced at this and dedicated.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33They're fed every couple of hours, day and night.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38'I got to meet them at four weeks old. One's a boy named Kasem,
0:06:38 > 0:06:42'while the other's a girl, Sumalee. Like puppies and kittens,
0:06:42 > 0:06:47'baby otters are born blind. They open their eyes at about five weeks.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52'Well, Kasem and Sumalee are now almost seven weeks old.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56'I've come to see how they're getting on.'
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Hiya, Bev.- Hiya.- All right?- Not bad.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04- I hope you have four beautiful baby otter eyes to show me.- I have.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09They are a lot bigger than last time, a lot noisier and a lot bigger.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13They are bigger! But still just as cute.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Have a hold. They're a bit wiggly. They know it's tea time.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21That's the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Let's look at their eyes. Open!
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- How good is their eyesight, then? - I think it's quite good.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33- They know where things are. I'm just going to feed one.- OK.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37I'll just shut this one in so they don't make too much noise.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42They're getting more inquisitive. They want to have a good look around.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46I've just got to get the milk in. This is the boy.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- This is Kasem.- OK.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Oh, look...!
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I can't get over that. That is so cute.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00- So not on solids yet.- Not on solids yet. They will be next week.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04We try to introduce them to solid food, cat food, basically.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09Kasem's definitely enjoying his milk. But Sumalee's calling.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14They've got a bond with each other. She's just wondering where he is.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19- Is being part of the family important to them?- Oh, yeah.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24They do stick together. Usually, if babies are abandoned,
0:08:24 > 0:08:27older brothers and sisters look after them.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31When might you introduce them back into the family?
0:08:31 > 0:08:36We hope when they're a lot bigger. Once they've learnt to swim,
0:08:36 > 0:08:38that's when we'll introduce them.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43I think Kasem's had enough. We'll just pop him back in.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47There you go there. And this is the girl.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52- Aww, the little screams. - Do you want to have a hold of her?
0:08:52 > 0:08:56You don't have to ask me twice! So incredibly cute.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- Do you want to have a go? Just support her.- Like this?
0:09:01 > 0:09:06- Let me try and get near her mouth. - This is quite tricky!
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- If I put her down like... - She's very good at running away.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13You hold her, I'll try to feed her.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14OK.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Come on, come on.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Come on, Sumalee. Take your milk.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27Do you think that she knows it's milk? Will she smell it?
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- Let me get it into her mouth. - You'd better do it. You're a pro.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- What kind of milk is that? - This is puppy rearing milk.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40We feed them every four hours now, so that's quite good.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45- How long before they're on solids? - Hopefully, about 60 days.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50They're about 47 days old now. So hopefully in the next week or so.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55Bits of meat and things and cat meat.
0:09:55 > 0:10:00- They're developing little webbed feet.- Yeah, ready for swimming.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04And their little short claws as well, which are quite sharp.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09- Will these guys make really good swimmers?- They should do.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14- When will you teach them to swim? - It'll probably be in a week's time.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19- Can we come back and see the park's cutest babies learn to swim?- Yeah.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Brilliant. I'll bring my arm bands!
0:10:30 > 0:10:35Our Roar Rangers today are a brother and sister team.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Rickneet and Tanya.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43I am really excited doing this. I've talked about it for a while!
0:10:43 > 0:10:47But are they ready for the challenges ahead?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50One thing I wouldn't like to do
0:10:50 > 0:10:54is stepping on animals' poo and wee.
0:10:54 > 0:11:00Sorry, Tanya, this is Roar Rangers. There's always poo and wee to clean.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04The only question is: what kind?
0:11:07 > 0:11:11"Rickneet and Tanya, today you are going to be tiger keepers.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14"It will be grrrrreat!"
0:11:14 > 0:11:18I can't wait to see the tigers. The tiger's my favourite animal.
0:11:23 > 0:11:30They have three tigers at Longleat - Soundari, Svetli and Shouri.
0:11:30 > 0:11:36They're all sisters from the same litter, Siberian or Amur tigers,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39which is the largest kind of cat in the world
0:11:39 > 0:11:42from the forests of Eastern Russia and China.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46With centuries of hunting combined with habitat loss,
0:11:46 > 0:11:51the Amur tiger is now an endangered species.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Hello. I'm Bob. We've got a nice little job for you.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Shall we go off and do it?- Yes. - Right.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05The tigers have gone outside, so their bedroom needs to be cleaned.
0:12:06 > 0:12:12- I want you to grab a pitchfork each. All right?- Yeah.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Now you've got to chuck all this muck into that pen.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Eeeew!
0:12:20 > 0:12:23There's wee everywhere on the floor in the enclosures.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27And also the smell. It's... I don't like it.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32You're lucky this isn't smellovision. Tiger wee does stink.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35In fact, it's famous for the pong.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Come on, then.
0:12:42 > 0:12:48You're doing really well. Once you start moving it, the smell hits you.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Yeah!
0:12:50 > 0:12:54It makes my eyes a bit weak. They get a bit teary.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58There's a good reason why it stinks.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Tigers are fiercely territorial.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03They use urine to mark their patch.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07The smell tells other tigers to keep out.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11The smell's getting into my nose!
0:13:11 > 0:13:15And the scent needs to be strong to be smelt at a distance
0:13:15 > 0:13:17and so it lasts a long time.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Pitchforking is done with now. We sweep up now.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25All right. A couple of brushes.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29You've got an unfair advantage.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32I tell you what - hold on.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- I've got a special brush just for you. There you go.- Thank you.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Carry on, then.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- I don't think you're enjoying this. - Not really!- Are you sweating yet?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- No. - Then you're not working hard enough!
0:13:52 > 0:13:57- It's harder than I thought. - It's even more stinky now.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01With all the dirty stuff cleared away,
0:14:01 > 0:14:05it's time to make fresh beds for the tigers.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12Right. So that's nice and fluffy. Nice and soft.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- Did you want to sleep on it?- No!
0:14:14 > 0:14:18No? Our tigers would love it. Come on, then.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22The Roar Rangers have survived the dirty work.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Soon they'll get close
0:14:24 > 0:14:28to three of the most terrifying creatures on Earth.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Maybe too close for comfort.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32ROAR
0:14:41 > 0:14:45What's a leopard with no spots? Spotless.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48SEAL BARKS
0:14:48 > 0:14:53What do frogs eat with their hamburgers? French flies.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Aaargh!
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- What do you call a vampire's favourite dog?- I don't know.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03A bloodhound.
0:15:12 > 0:15:18Back at Meerkat Mountain, the five babies are learning how to survive.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22The adults show them how to find food and look for predators.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28But there's one point in the day when it's too dangerous
0:15:28 > 0:15:30to be near the grown-ups.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34When they're fed a meal of meat,
0:15:34 > 0:15:38the meerkats go into a feeding frenzy.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41It can be very dangerous.
0:15:41 > 0:15:46They grab the food. The babies will not let go of it.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49They turn like helicopter blades.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53They get whacked against the concrete, the metalwork...
0:15:53 > 0:15:58So for the babies' safety, they must be separated into their own pen.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Four.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08And five.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12With the babies out of the way, feeding can begin.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19Meerkats are omnivores - they eat everything, meat and vegetables.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23But when it's meat time, they go completely wild.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26It's every meerkat for themselves.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32The youngsters wouldn't stand a chance of getting any of the food.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40But they are ready to eat meat, so they get their own.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43We're giving them bits of chicken, basically.
0:16:43 > 0:16:49It helps them grow a lot faster. It's got everything their diet needs.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54- We'll make sure each one gets one. - They learn by copying the adults
0:16:54 > 0:16:59so the meerkat meat mayhem is just as frenzied, only smaller.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Because they're quite big pieces,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06it does take them a long time to eat.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11It would be very hard for one of the babies to grab hold of two
0:17:11 > 0:17:15because it takes so long to get through the first one.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20Normally, after that they're full, so it is the perfect size for them.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22When the meat's been devoured,
0:17:22 > 0:17:27the meerkats go back to being a big, happy mob.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32Then they all go back outside to practise their survival training,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35play around and just relax.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55It's Rani! I've come down to see the bongos. As they're so elusive,
0:17:55 > 0:18:00- I thought I'd beat them at their own game. Dan, good disguise?- Yeah,
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- but they'd rather eat it. - Thanks, Dan.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08We say they're really elusive, but look. We've got a real treat.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13They're up close to munch on their tasty browse. This is rare.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18Yeah, definitely. We've got all this open space,
0:18:18 > 0:18:23but they often go down to our bit that's covered in trees.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28So when people come here, it can be a bit pot luck, really,
0:18:28 > 0:18:33- whether you see them or not. - This one's coming over for a snack.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36He may eat it from the truck.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39If you just keep it at arm's length.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- Are they quite feisty as well as quite nervy?- They can be.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I've never been so close to a bongo.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51Do you know, another reason you probably can't see them out here
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- is I imagine they have really good hearing.- They have got huge ears.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00Very good for hearing, for hearing predators and stuff.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06Also why we never see them is they know we're there before we get there.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10They can go off and hide from their predators.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15Last resort, if a predator comes up to them or gets near them,
0:19:15 > 0:19:20they would probably run away first. They're very good jumpers, very fast.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22And very strong as well, you know,
0:19:22 > 0:19:27- so they're quite capable of looking after themselves.- Do I keep feeding?
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- He seems to be walking off.- Yeah.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35Chuck it on the floor. It might keep him there a bit.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Amazingly, we've got two here now. Who have we got?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42We've got Tombo on the right there, our youngest.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47- And Harpo on the left. - Tombo and Harpo.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- Both males?- Yes. All boys here.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53It's been great getting this close.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58Normally they don't come over, but here you appreciate their beauty.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Thanks very much.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10If you like animals, get an animal park of your own.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15Just go to the Roar game on the CBBC website.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19It's easy to get started and great fun.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Now, though, make a note of this.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24That's today's cheat code.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27You'll soon see how to use it.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Good luck and have fun.
0:20:39 > 0:20:45Back up in Tiger Territory, Rickneet and Tanya are coming face-to-face
0:20:45 > 0:20:49with three of the most terrifying animals on Earth.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Soundari, Svetli and Shouri have now come into the house
0:20:53 > 0:20:56and it's tea time.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Right...
0:20:58 > 0:21:03First, I'll introduce you to the tigers, then we get down to work.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04OK.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06TIGER ROARS
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- I told you they were friendly! - That was loud,
0:21:11 > 0:21:15louder than your television could ever play back.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20A tiger roar can be hears well over 3 kilometres away.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23And there's a lot of bass in it,
0:21:23 > 0:21:27which at this rate makes your whole body vibrate.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32It's believed that one reason they have this incredible roar
0:21:32 > 0:21:34is to petrify their victims
0:21:34 > 0:21:38and make them freeze with sheer terror.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43No wonder the rangers look a little worried.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47But they are safe with Bob, who is a trained keeper,
0:21:47 > 0:21:52- looking after tigers for 20 years. - Quite impressive.- Yeah.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56I'm a bit scared. They're quite grumpy and roaring at us.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02I don't think they really want us here!
0:22:02 > 0:22:07I felt a bit nervous. They were just jumping at us.
0:22:08 > 0:22:14Are they hostile or just hungry? Rickneet and Tanya will find out.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Right, then, kids.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23If you put some gloves on, all right? Here's a pair for you.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28And a pair for you. What we have is a small chunk of meat.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31It's just a treat for them.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Also, we can hide medication in there.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39If we need to give them worming tablets or some antibiotics,
0:22:39 > 0:22:44we can hide it in there and they don't know they're having it.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49- Shall we feed them? Who's going first?- Hold on, Bob!
0:22:49 > 0:22:54You're used to the tigers, but the rangers just got here.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57They're still recovering from the roars!
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Go on, then. It's all right. I'm here.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Shall we do her first? She's up for it. Come on.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09If you just hold the stick. Hold it very tight.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Right, is that a good grip? Yeah, that's it.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Just place it there and she'll take it off the stick. Don't let go.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21You have to put it further. That's it.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24You've fed a tiger!
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Do you want to have a go? Nice, tight grip.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32See if she takes it.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34That's taller than you.
0:23:34 > 0:23:40Amur tigers are huge. They can be up to three metres long,
0:23:40 > 0:23:45not including the tail. That's more than both Roar Rangers put together.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Right, one reason why we do this
0:23:48 > 0:23:52is so we can have a better look at certain parts of them.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55If you hold it up, get closer...
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- ROAR - All right, grumpy. See the claws?
0:23:59 > 0:24:04Hey, hey. See how sharp they are? The claws do all the damage.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Each claw is up to 4cm long.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12They're sharp as knives and they have 18 of them.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15When a tiger goes in for the kill,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18the prey doesn't stand a chance.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30Looks like this tiger wants something bigger than meat chunks.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37But now it's time for Rickneet and Tanya to head off.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42- What did they make of the day? - It has been a dream for me.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46And they're endangered. There aren't many left in the wild.
0:24:46 > 0:24:52It's good to have a chance before they're all gone.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Rickneet and Tanya were very good. The growling is nothing to me,
0:24:56 > 0:25:01but to someone who's never experienced it, it's frightening.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Being a tiger keeper was a bit scary and a bit fun.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10Cleaning and sweeping was OK, but it was quite stinky
0:25:10 > 0:25:14and the smell of the wee got to your eyes and nose.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19I have lots of respect for Bob and what he has to do every day.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24I'd invite them back to do it again so I don't have to!
0:25:46 > 0:25:51Time is nearly up on today's show, but we thought we'd grab Ryan
0:25:51 > 0:25:57and find out how the three very cute and hairy zebra foals are doing.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02- Ryan, how are they?- We couldn't ask for better. The births were fine.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06The mums are rearing them well, they're integrating.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- Everything's perfect.- Lovely. - We've got three girls.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15- Have you given them a name? - Yes, Kichaa, Kimbia and Kabibi.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20- How old are they now then? - From 4 months to about 4 weeks.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25- What does their future hold? - Hopefully, we can keep them here.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30It would be nice if they all spent the rest of their days with us here.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34You said potentially you could keep them and they are doing well.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39Is everyone bonding well? Do camels and zebras get on?
0:26:39 > 0:26:44As you can see, as soon as Caroline starts coming over,
0:26:44 > 0:26:48the zebras give her space. They're looking out for their foals.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51An adult zebra wouldn't worry.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56They spend all day and all night out here, so they have a relationship.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59It's great to see them doing well.
0:26:59 > 0:27:04For now, check what's coming up on the next episode of Roar.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09For the first time with giraffes,
0:27:09 > 0:27:13we'll show you the miracle of birth in broad daylight.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18It's staggering footage.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23- 'Meanwhile it'll be us...' - Aaargh!
0:27:23 > 0:27:25- 'against the keeper.'- Aaaargh!
0:27:25 > 0:27:29'The team want answers on camels.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33'And we'll go all touchy-feely with a giant tarantula.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37'Furry friend or eight-legged creep? You decide.'
