0:00:01 > 0:00:05Today on Roar, the marmosets are being let out

0:00:05 > 0:00:10in a special enclosure that has no bars or fences.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12So will they make a run for it?

0:00:37 > 0:00:41- Hello and welcome.- Hello, cutie, cutie.- Hello, and welcome to...

0:00:41 > 0:00:44You're beautiful, yes you are.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47Johny! I'm trying to introduce the show.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Sorry, Rani, I can't help butting in, ha-ha!

0:00:49 > 0:00:51You know I'm only...kidding!

0:00:51 > 0:00:56Fine, Johny, I'm fed up with you bleating on anyway!

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Let's just get on with the rest of the show, shall we?

0:01:04 > 0:01:07Coming up today, we'll be going wild with the thermal imaging camera

0:01:07 > 0:01:11to discover what's hot and who's cool.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15I'll be meeting some cute, furry little babies,

0:01:15 > 0:01:18just a shame they've got eight legs each.

0:01:18 > 0:01:23And the Roar rangers find out the downside of kid goat cuddling.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28THEY GIGGLE

0:01:34 > 0:01:37These are marmosets. They're a type of monkey

0:01:37 > 0:01:39and here at Longleat they've got a family of three.

0:01:39 > 0:01:44Mike, his partner, Michelle and their daughter Mandu.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48Keeper Jo Hawthorn knows them really well.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51I've looked after them from day one.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53I've done everything with them,

0:01:53 > 0:01:57throughout their lives here at Longleat.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01So they're very dear to my heart. But they do keep me very busy.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07The family live in what's called a open enclosure,

0:02:07 > 0:02:10there's no fence or barrier to keep them in. In the wild,

0:02:10 > 0:02:14marmosets have their own territories, and they naturally tend

0:02:14 > 0:02:15to stay inside them.

0:02:15 > 0:02:21To encourage that behaviour here, Jo has used food to train them.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25It's basically done through feeding them, at different times

0:02:25 > 0:02:29throughout the day at different feed stations and sticking to a routine.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Obviously, like any other animal, they're quite food orientated.

0:02:32 > 0:02:37But recently the routine has been upset because there are big changes

0:02:37 > 0:02:40happening next door to the marmoset enclosure.

0:02:40 > 0:02:45Quite excited because we've got a new area being built at the moment around

0:02:45 > 0:02:47the old marmoset house and it's been quite busy with

0:02:47 > 0:02:50builders and things going on that I haven't been able to let them out

0:02:50 > 0:02:53because they'd be over there helping the builders

0:02:53 > 0:02:57and I don't think they'd appreciate that too much.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00So basically we have to keep them occupied in the house.

0:03:00 > 0:03:05However, the building has stopped for a few weeks now so it's a perfect

0:03:05 > 0:03:08opportunity now the weather's nice to let them out for a bit.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13This is great news for the marmosets but it's going to be a nerve-racking

0:03:13 > 0:03:16time for Jo. She's worried they might have forgotten their training

0:03:16 > 0:03:19and that her worse nightmare will come true.

0:03:20 > 0:03:25Just as it did three years ago when young Mandu escaped.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30I wasn't here at the time, I was over in old Joe's mine,

0:03:30 > 0:03:34but there was a loud bang or something, a noise of some sort

0:03:34 > 0:03:39and she got quite scared and basically disappeared.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43I waited until the end of the day, stood at the top of the parrot seat

0:03:43 > 0:03:45going, "Mandu!"

0:03:47 > 0:03:51In case of emergencies Jo has trained the marmosets to come

0:03:51 > 0:03:54to her when she blows a whistle but the question was,

0:03:54 > 0:03:57would Mandu remember what to do?

0:04:04 > 0:04:07For two days and nights Jo blew that whistle and searched

0:04:07 > 0:04:11high and low but there was no sign of little Mandu.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13The keeper in charge, Darren Beasley,

0:04:13 > 0:04:15was getting more and more worried.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19I was ever so concerned at that point because to have the decision

0:04:19 > 0:04:23to leave an animal out overnight is a heck of a worry,

0:04:23 > 0:04:27there are foxes and buzzards and all sorts of things around here.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32Darren and Jo began to fear that Mandu had gone for ever

0:04:32 > 0:04:36but finally, on the third day, Jo heard a noise.

0:04:36 > 0:04:41I could hear her calling, she was down where the boats are.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44I think she'd got down there, got stuck, got scared.

0:04:44 > 0:04:48Mandu was somewhere high in the trees and that's

0:04:48 > 0:04:50when the whistle training paid off.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53With the whistle, absolutely perfect.

0:04:53 > 0:04:54It proved to me it does work

0:04:54 > 0:04:57because I sat down with the whistle and she actually found me.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59She found me through the whistle.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03But now the marmosets haven't practiced their training for weeks

0:05:03 > 0:05:06because they've been kept indoors

0:05:06 > 0:05:09while the building work was going on.

0:05:09 > 0:05:14Jo is about to let them out, so will young Mandu disappear again?

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Stay tuned to find out.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35As soon as someone mentions baby animals I think cute,

0:05:35 > 0:05:38I think cuddly, I think soft.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42But what happens when the baby animal is born with fangs and venom?

0:05:42 > 0:05:44I'll show you what happens, this!

0:05:45 > 0:05:49- Er, Rani.- Yeah? - Come on. I need a hand here.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52Gemma, we're doing spiders.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55We sure are today. So what's the idea?

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Here we have Rosie, she's mum to our two spiderlings here

0:05:58 > 0:06:01and they need lots of handling

0:06:01 > 0:06:05so hopefully you're here to help me handle some of the babies today.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08Cos you do let people come and handle spiders,

0:06:08 > 0:06:10so is the idea just to get the little ones used to it?

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Definitely.

0:06:12 > 0:06:16The adults have been handled for many years now but the spiderlings,

0:06:16 > 0:06:20obviously because they're so young, still need lots and lots of

0:06:20 > 0:06:24handling just so they don't become too aggressive when they're older.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28That's really great to hear, thanks, Gem.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Here's Chilli, we'll pick Chilli up.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Gently move her onto your hand.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34I have an idea, one second.

0:06:36 > 0:06:41This is finger-cam, so when I put Chilli onto my hand

0:06:41 > 0:06:46you'll be able to see her nice and closely.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Finger-cam's in place.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52I did say some babies are born with fangs and venom,

0:06:52 > 0:06:56do I need to be aware of anything, am I safe here, Gem?

0:06:56 > 0:06:58You are perfectly safe with our tarantulas.

0:06:58 > 0:07:02The venom that they've got is not enough to hurry anybody,

0:07:02 > 0:07:04you're absolutely fine.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07There you go.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11Now at two years old, how much handling does a spiderling get?

0:07:11 > 0:07:15We actually handle our spiderlings every day.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18So they're not too bad but obviously it is just passing them

0:07:18 > 0:07:21around as well that they need to get used to.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24- She's got some great colourings as well on the top.- Uh-hu.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28Really light cos mum is a great colour all over,

0:07:28 > 0:07:32but she's got a little bit of colour on her there.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35When they shed their skin they go completely pink, completely bright,

0:07:35 > 0:07:39ever so pretty, which is why Rosie here is such a nice colour.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Because she's recently shed her skin. We've got some skins here

0:07:42 > 0:07:44as well for you to look at.

0:07:44 > 0:07:45I'll put Chilli down.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50So is this from Rosie?

0:07:50 > 0:07:54Yes, this one here is Rosie's, so underneath you can see her fangs.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Wow! Are they sharp?

0:07:56 > 0:08:00- So soft, it's like velvet, isn't it? - Very soft.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02But the fangs don't feel much harder.

0:08:02 > 0:08:07They won't at the moment, because it is just really the shell.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10But if we flip her up the right way...

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Look at that inside, that's amazing.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14This top bit here is called the thorax.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17When they shed their skin they turn themselves upside down,

0:08:17 > 0:08:20this bit here, the thorax, just pops off and the new spider comes

0:08:20 > 0:08:24out of just this but here so it brings each individual leg out.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27That's fascinating.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29And that top pops off?

0:08:29 > 0:08:33Yes, this is the thorax I was talking about,

0:08:33 > 0:08:36- starting to look like a spider again.- Yeah!

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Gem, it's been brilliant to meet the Chilli and Rosie family,

0:08:39 > 0:08:43and I have to say, seeing that, I've just had a shed load of fun.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45Get it?

0:08:45 > 0:08:46Yeah, very good!?

0:09:00 > 0:09:04Our Roar Rangers today are sisters.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Eleanor is 11 and Izzy is 8.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11I want to be a Roar Ranger because I love animals,

0:09:11 > 0:09:15I am an animal and I love wolves.

0:09:15 > 0:09:16HOWLS

0:09:16 > 0:09:21My favourite animal in the world is a leopard.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25I'd love just to go up to one and cuddle it. That would be nice.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28But of course you can't.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31Try to cuddle any of those A-list predators

0:09:31 > 0:09:33and you're likely to end up as lunch.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37The sisters love their pet hamsters

0:09:37 > 0:09:41but there must be some animals that are both exciting and cuddly.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46Who knows, maybe the Roar Rangers will track them down today?

0:09:46 > 0:09:47There it is!

0:09:52 > 0:09:55"Izzy and Eleanor, you are going to be pygmy goat keepers.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57"It's time to jump around."

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Whoa!

0:09:59 > 0:10:02The pygmy goats live up in the East Africa reserve,

0:10:02 > 0:10:05where keeper Bev Evans looks after them.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Follow me. Push through the gate.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13- There they are.- Poo!- Yeah, there's a bit of poo on the floor.

0:10:13 > 0:10:14Sorry about that.

0:10:14 > 0:10:18They've now got 19 pygmy goats here, because, recently,

0:10:18 > 0:10:21three of the nanny goats had five kids between them.

0:10:21 > 0:10:22In the same week.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28We'll be meeting them later, but now there is work to do.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Right, what we've got to do today, girls, is move our hay rack,

0:10:31 > 0:10:33which I'll do.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Got to watch him, cos he's naughty.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39And then clean up the pooey bit underneath,

0:10:39 > 0:10:41and fill it up with hay again.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43OK, so if I get you to hold onto these bags,

0:10:43 > 0:10:45so Poppadom doesn't tip it over.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48- You got that, girls?- Yes.- And I'll move this hay rack out the way.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50OK, OK, stop.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Pygmy goats are known for being playful,

0:10:52 > 0:10:56and this one, called Poppadom, is especially famous.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Right, I got two jobs.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01I've got a raker, and someone picking up the poo with the gloves.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Does anyone have a preference? - She's the poo!- I don't mind.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08- OK, if you want to put those gloves on for me, Eleanor.- What a star!

0:11:08 > 0:11:11If only all big sisters were like that.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14I'm also the poo-thrower, Izzy.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Or maybe not.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Give it a good rake. - So do I just scoop it with my hands?

0:11:19 > 0:11:21- Yes, and stick it in this bag for me. - Right then.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Actually, goat's poo isn't so bad.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27It comes out as nice dry pellets.

0:11:27 > 0:11:28- Lovely.- Go back in, please.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Ugh!

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Did you do this?

0:11:42 > 0:11:46Eleanor's a big poo picker!

0:11:49 > 0:11:53Uh-oh. It started to rain. Better get a move on.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57Do they mind much about getting wet?

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Goats, they do run for the shelter every time it looks like it's

0:12:00 > 0:12:02going to rain, but some of them are quite hairy,

0:12:02 > 0:12:04so they don't tend to get too wet if it does rain.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06Are they from a very wet environment

0:12:06 > 0:12:08or is it quite dry where they come from?

0:12:08 > 0:12:11These are African pygmy goats so it is quite hot and warm out there,

0:12:11 > 0:12:14but these are a domestic breed, so these guys have never,

0:12:14 > 0:12:17obviously, been out to Africa. They were all born in England.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20OK, follow me, we'll get some more hay. If I give you...

0:12:20 > 0:12:23This is the fresh hay, OK? We can't mix it up with the pooey hay.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25We got to make sure it's the right hay, which is that one.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28And what we'll do is stick it...

0:12:28 > 0:12:32If you bring it down here, we'll top up this hay rack. OK?

0:12:32 > 0:12:35- Ha-ha.- That's a big one. Excellent.

0:12:35 > 0:12:39Perfect. That's that job done, in the nick of time.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43And the only shelter here is the goat shed.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Still, it's a chance to meet one of the youngsters.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52But, the Roar Rangers still have important work to do

0:12:52 > 0:12:55with all the new kids on the block.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57We'll be back with them later, when it stops raining.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07Do not adjust your TV screens.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10This is actually me, Johny Pitts, not some weird psychedelic clown.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12You're looking at me through a thermal imaging camera,

0:13:12 > 0:13:16which is heat sensitive, and is held by our assistant producer, Jamie.

0:13:16 > 0:13:21Earlier in the series, we used the thermal imaging camera

0:13:21 > 0:13:23on the sea lions, the vultures, the giraffe,

0:13:23 > 0:13:28and the rhino, to find out how each of them keep their heat inside.

0:13:28 > 0:13:29But now I am with Darren Beasley,

0:13:29 > 0:13:32and one of the biggest cold-blooded creatures in the Park.

0:13:34 > 0:13:38- Who've we got here?- This is Diego, Johny, and he's an Argentine tegu.

0:13:38 > 0:13:39A bit wriggly at the minute, as well.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42So, I'm right in believing that all lizards are cold-blooded?

0:13:42 > 0:13:45Reptiles, cold-blooded. They can't make their own heat internally,

0:13:45 > 0:13:47so they have to soak it up from the sunshine.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49That's amazing. So, if we look at this fellow

0:13:49 > 0:13:51through our thermal imaging camera,

0:13:51 > 0:13:53we should see, let's have a look

0:13:53 > 0:13:55Claire, our researcher, is holding a monitor,

0:13:55 > 0:13:58- and we can actually see that he's not glowing up like we are.- Right.

0:13:58 > 0:13:59That's cos he's cold-blooded.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02Totally, Johny. Whereas you've had your breakfast this morning,

0:14:02 > 0:14:05so your body's making its own heat, you know,

0:14:05 > 0:14:08you feel warm on the inside, and you can see it on the outside.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11Because he's away from his lamp, we have basking lamps from which

0:14:11 > 0:14:14is fake sunshine, he would normally be nice and toasty, really warm.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16Because he's away from it, instantly,

0:14:16 > 0:14:19he cools down, which is why reptiles don't like cold weather.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21They really need that hot sunshine.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24And with this guy, here, he's feeling cool to the touch

0:14:24 > 0:14:27because he can't make his own heat. You feel that?

0:14:27 > 0:14:30Yes, that's incredible, because if I touch your skin, warm.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33When I touch him, yeah, he's a lot cooler. That's incredible.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36So, can we look at some warm blooded animals to see the difference?

0:14:36 > 0:14:38No problem. We'll pop out and look at the guinea pigs.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41I'll bring Diego with us, if you don't mind, for a little walk.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43Will he be all right? He's not going to get too cold?

0:14:43 > 0:14:45No, he's fine. He's snuggled up to me. I'm quite warm.

0:14:45 > 0:14:46The camera's telling us we're warm,

0:14:46 > 0:14:48and we'll only be out for a couple of minutes.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51Don't lizards shiver at all when they get cold?

0:14:51 > 0:14:53No, lizards don't. That's a mammal thing, really.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56And here we've got the guinea pigs, you know, if they were cold,

0:14:56 > 0:14:59they would shiver, but they're not going to be cold, because, look,

0:14:59 > 0:15:01they've got the fur. They've got the way of keeping warm.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04What's interesting is that they're not showing up as red either,

0:15:04 > 0:15:06but what's this green colour?

0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Is that the warm?- That is warm. Can you see right in the middle?

0:15:09 > 0:15:11See the splodge, there? That's the internal organs.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13That's the bit inside that keeps them warm.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16By eating that bit of broccoli, and that bit of green food, there,

0:15:16 > 0:15:19it's generating the energy to keep itself warm.

0:15:19 > 0:15:20Now, lizards do do that.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22Their food helps them a little bit, but the external heat, no,

0:15:22 > 0:15:25they need to be protected, they need that fur coat,

0:15:25 > 0:15:26that's what keeps them nice and warm.

0:15:26 > 0:15:31And you can see he looks one colour on the outside, but inside,

0:15:31 > 0:15:34all those important bits, they are nice and toasty, nice and warm.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37We're similar to guinea pigs, because we're warm blooded animals.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39When mammals, we're warm blooded, we can make our own heat, you know,

0:15:39 > 0:15:44we use our food and also, as well, with these guys is, that they really,

0:15:44 > 0:15:48I suppose, they really don't rely on the sunshine like the lizards do.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51They like a bit of sunshine, but they need the food,

0:15:51 > 0:15:52and they can make their own heat.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55This one, he needs to go in his lamp, now, because he needs the heat.

0:15:55 > 0:15:59Well, Darren, we better get him back in the nice warm room.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02Well, thank you so much. What an interesting experiment. Bye.

0:16:10 > 0:16:11Back with the marmoset family,

0:16:11 > 0:16:16and keeper Jo Hawthorne is about to let them out of their own enclosure.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19There is no fence to stop them escaping,

0:16:19 > 0:16:22instead, the keeper's rely on the training they've done with food

0:16:22 > 0:16:27and the marmosets' natural instinct to stay in their own territory.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30But, it's been weeks since they were last outside,

0:16:30 > 0:16:33and young Mandu has run-off before.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37I'm going to let them out, now.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39So, I'm not, kind of, encouraging them

0:16:39 > 0:16:43to go in too big an area to start with, so, and just keeping them

0:16:43 > 0:16:46across the rope, here, and maybe this platform over here.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49But, certainly nowhere near that way.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51They've got some nice stuff, here, this morning.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53This got some gum, which they absolutely love.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55They do cartwheels for that.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57And, we've got some nice tasty meal worms, here.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00So, this is plenty enough to keep them

0:17:00 > 0:17:03from getting any funny ideas, from running off anywhere.

0:17:03 > 0:17:08Hey, guys! You love your gum, don't you?

0:17:08 > 0:17:10Come on then.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16This gum basically mimics the gum that they would

0:17:16 > 0:17:18get from the trees in the wild.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20It's really sticky and really sweet.

0:17:20 > 0:17:24So, this is basically saying, you know, you can come over here

0:17:24 > 0:17:27and get your meal worms, guys, but, you know, it will keep them

0:17:27 > 0:17:28in this specific area.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32I think this is plenty a big enough playground for them, today,

0:17:32 > 0:17:35without them getting into mischief anywhere else, hopefully.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37But, the treats don't last long,

0:17:37 > 0:17:39and soon the family are jumping around,

0:17:39 > 0:17:42making the most of the great outdoors.

0:17:42 > 0:17:48If anyone is going to run off, now is the time they'll do it.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56But, by the end of the day it looks like the marmosets'

0:17:56 > 0:18:00instincts are still strong, and they remembered their training,

0:18:00 > 0:18:03because, yes, they're all still here, safe and sound.

0:18:10 > 0:18:15- Which animal makes other animals yawn?- I don't know.

0:18:17 > 0:18:18I can't remember.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22- A wild boar.- A wild boar

0:18:22 > 0:18:24ROAR

0:18:24 > 0:18:26What do sheep do on a sunny day?

0:18:26 > 0:18:28Have a baaarbecue.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31Ooh, ooh, ah, ah, ooh, ooh, ah, ah.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33What's an insect's favourite game?

0:18:33 > 0:18:35Cricket.

0:18:56 > 0:19:00Apparently, warthogs are intelligent animals,

0:19:00 > 0:19:03particularly when it comes to solving problems about their food.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05Well, I've come down to the warthog enclosure,

0:19:05 > 0:19:07- now, with the keeper, Andy. Hi, Andy.- Hiya.

0:19:07 > 0:19:08And I hear we are going to do

0:19:08 > 0:19:11- a bit of problem solving with the warthogs. Is that right?- Yeah.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13- We are just going to play around with this bottle.- Right.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15We put some apples in some holes.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17And we are going to see if the boys will roll this around.

0:19:17 > 0:19:18There they are, up there.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21You see the boys? Three of them are lined up over there.

0:19:21 > 0:19:25- Fantastic animals.- Hang on, hang on. With them horns am I safe in here?

0:19:25 > 0:19:29You are pretty safe. I mean, they look pretty fearsome, but...

0:19:29 > 0:19:33they are naturally, they are a prey animal,

0:19:33 > 0:19:37- so naturally they are quite shy. - Really?

0:19:37 > 0:19:41But, back them into a corner, they'll come after you, no problem.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Well, we're not going to be doing that, OK.

0:19:43 > 0:19:44- So you put some apples in a jar. - Yes.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46- Now, we said before they love apples.- Yes.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49- Do they really love apples? - They really do love apples.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51- Will they do anything for those apples?- I do hope so.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53- So, if we leave this here.- OK.

0:19:53 > 0:19:54Cos, they are quite close.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59So, if we back off this way.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02All right, let's do that, then, cos they are coming up quite close.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12- And now they are going over to that bottle feeder.- Yes.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15It's just takes them a little bit of time, and, normally, you know,

0:20:15 > 0:20:18we don't spend a lot of time in here with them.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21- There we go.- He's rolling it around.

0:20:24 > 0:20:25Ah, look at that, Andy.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28He's gone for it and he's knocked it with his tusk.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30Now, no harm's going to be done to him, there, is it?

0:20:30 > 0:20:31- With that tusk and bottle.- No.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34I think if he did get it stuck on his tusk the bottle was definitely

0:20:34 > 0:20:37going to come off worse than him. It's just a plastic bottle.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39- But you can see he's shoving it around a treat, now.- He is.

0:20:39 > 0:20:40Absolutely brilliant.

0:20:40 > 0:20:44And he's just got himself an apple and hasn't let go of the bottle,

0:20:44 > 0:20:47so, therefore, he's kind of figured it out, hasn't he?

0:20:47 > 0:20:51Yes. It doesn't take him long at all.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53But, they are smart. They are a member of the pig family.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56Now, normally. Look at that! The way he's hitting that with his tusk.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59Is he seeing that as a toy or is he just desperate for that last apple?

0:20:59 > 0:21:03- I think he's desperate for that last apple, and I think that.- Amazing.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06Look at that! He's got the last apple, and he's off. It's like,

0:21:06 > 0:21:08"I'm not interested in the bottle any more."

0:21:08 > 0:21:10- No, job done.- And what about brotherly love?

0:21:10 > 0:21:11Was it a case of, "My bro wants the apples.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14"I'll leave him to have them." They weren't too bothered,

0:21:14 > 0:21:16or not bright enough, maybe, to figure it out?

0:21:16 > 0:21:20- There's definitely a pecking order in here.- OK.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22So he is probably the highest-ranking animal in here.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25So, "They're my apples! Stay away!" Kind of touch.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Or else, or else you're going to cop it,

0:21:27 > 0:21:30so, yeah, he definitely runs the show.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33Andy, I've got to say, they figured that out pretty quickly,

0:21:33 > 0:21:35didn't they?

0:21:35 > 0:21:38- They are smart boys.- They've got it all, brains and beauty.- Absolutely.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40- You must be jealous.- Oh, totally.

0:21:48 > 0:21:49Calling all gamers.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Here's today's cheat code

0:21:51 > 0:21:54for the Roar game on the CBBC website.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59How is your park doing? Don't forget,

0:21:59 > 0:22:01the key to success is to get

0:22:01 > 0:22:03as many cheat codes as you can,

0:22:03 > 0:22:04and, to check up

0:22:04 > 0:22:05on your animals everyday.

0:22:05 > 0:22:06Happy gaming!

0:22:20 > 0:22:23Our Roar Rangers would love to get close to their favourite

0:22:23 > 0:22:27animals, who'd probably love to get close to them, too.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29But, now that it has stopped raining,

0:22:29 > 0:22:33Izzy and Eleanor are about to experience something really

0:22:33 > 0:22:38scary, a whole herd of African pygmy goats in a feeding frenzy.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40OK, girls, we've got nuts to feed them.

0:22:40 > 0:22:44If I give Eleanor, cos you're nice and tall, the bucket.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46If you guys just want to walk along and sprinkle.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49- And the goats, if you could give them a shout, "Goats".- Goats!

0:22:49 > 0:22:51- Come on, goats!- Goats, goats, goats!

0:22:51 > 0:22:53In the bucket are pony nuts,

0:22:53 > 0:22:56a healthy treat made out of compressed grass.

0:22:56 > 0:22:57The goats go wild for them.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59Yeah, just sprinkle it about for them,

0:22:59 > 0:23:01- shouting "goats".- Come on, goats!

0:23:01 > 0:23:04- Do the babies eat solid foods? - Not yet, no.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06They are nibbling at a few things,

0:23:06 > 0:23:09but they are still drinking their mum's milk a lot, at the moment.

0:23:09 > 0:23:13I'm being attacked. I'm under attack. There you go. There you go.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Come on, goats!- Come on, ouch!

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Actually, the girls are in no danger.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21Pygmy goats are friendly and rarely grow taller than half a metre.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24In fact, they can be as wide as they are tall.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27Ooh, ah! I'm under attack!

0:23:27 > 0:23:32Drop the buckets! Drop the buckets! Drop the bucket and run!

0:23:34 > 0:23:35The bucket's empty

0:23:35 > 0:23:38so now the adults are busy looking for all the scattered pony nuts.

0:23:38 > 0:23:42- Baaah!- I've got a bit of an extra treat for you, if you want.- Ah!

0:23:42 > 0:23:44- You can probably hold a goat.- Yeah.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46- So, have you ever held a goat before? - No.

0:23:46 > 0:23:50OK, all you need to do is to make sure that the, that's it,

0:23:50 > 0:23:51if you put your legs.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54Your hands underneath, and if you've got him nice and tight,

0:23:54 > 0:23:56if you've got him tight he won't wriggle.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58- Are you all right, there, Eleanor, yeah?- Yeah.- Excellent.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Well, you've got Jerry.- Hi, Jerry.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02And this, Izzy, is Butler. Well done.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04These little ones are only about 2 1/2 weeks old.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06- And they are two little boys. - Hello, Butler.

0:24:06 > 0:24:10He's just so lovely. I love his little fur, you could just get...

0:24:10 > 0:24:13You could cuddle him for ever and ever. Nyah!

0:24:13 > 0:24:17I think that if I nuzzle my head into his fur then...

0:24:18 > 0:24:20Don't look now, but I think Eleanor

0:24:20 > 0:24:24and Izzy have just fallen in love. Ah!

0:24:28 > 0:24:32- So adorable.- He's quite heavy, but then he's really cuddly and soft.

0:24:34 > 0:24:39But, eventually, the Roar Rangers have to let the kids go.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42- He just farted. - He just farted on me.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47And, as they say, parping is such sweet sorrow.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Eleanor and Izzy wanted to get one of the fierce

0:24:53 > 0:24:54and awesome predators,

0:24:54 > 0:24:58so what did they make of the biggest softies in the Park?

0:24:58 > 0:25:00BOTH: Cool!

0:25:00 > 0:25:04The girls did very well, actually. I was really pleased with them.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07They didn't mind getting their hands dirty, very practical,

0:25:07 > 0:25:09good around the goats, actually, to be honest,

0:25:09 > 0:25:11cos the gates can be very, very naughty.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14Even though they did wriggle a tiny bit,

0:25:14 > 0:25:19they're still really soft and very and cute to hold onto.

0:25:20 > 0:25:24It was absolutely fantastic being pygmy goat keepers.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27They were really small and cute,

0:25:27 > 0:25:30and I just wanted to put one in my pocket and take it home.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35- Thumbs up?- Definitely.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52It is time for us to leave you, but we couldn't miss this.

0:25:52 > 0:25:57Mark has very kindly let us come up and watch the vultures getting fed.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05Look, they're just shredding that piece of meat,

0:26:05 > 0:26:06Mark. This is amazing!

0:26:06 > 0:26:08It looks really gruesome, Mark.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10It's pretty good, isn't it?

0:26:11 > 0:26:13Ha, ha, you're such a bloke.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16I mean, it's quite amazing to watch them, now. I mean,

0:26:16 > 0:26:20they're taking no prisoners. Are they quite greedy animals?

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Will they just eat, and get out of the way, quickly as possible?

0:26:22 > 0:26:25Well, that's the thing, yes. They have to eat as quickly as possible,

0:26:25 > 0:26:28because, obviously, in the wild there would be competition,

0:26:28 > 0:26:31i.e. hyenas, and a hyena would definitely scare them off the prey,

0:26:31 > 0:26:33so they have to get in there really fast,

0:26:33 > 0:26:34and if you look at the base of their necks,

0:26:34 > 0:26:36they've got what's called a crop.

0:26:36 > 0:26:37And it stretches.

0:26:37 > 0:26:41It's very elastic, so they can stuff it full of meat and then go off

0:26:41 > 0:26:42and digest it slowly at their leisure.

0:26:42 > 0:26:46Now, will these vultures eat anything that's dead?

0:26:46 > 0:26:50Even if it's been there for like a week or so, would they still eat it?

0:26:50 > 0:26:52- Yes.- So they must have really strong stomachs, then.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54Strong stomachs and no sense of smell.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57Well, you know what? It looks like these vultures are full to the brim.

0:26:57 > 0:26:59But if you're hungry for more Roar,

0:26:59 > 0:27:01feast your eyes on what's coming up on the next episode.

0:27:04 > 0:27:08We've got a tongue twisting test lined up for the giraffes.

0:27:09 > 0:27:13Over half the flamingo chicks have died.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15We'll find out if the rest still have a chance.

0:27:16 > 0:27:20And, a weird and wonderful animal is arriving.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22OK, it's got a head like a baseball bat,

0:27:22 > 0:27:27a tongue as long as your arm, and a preposterous tail, but what is it?

0:27:27 > 0:27:31Find out next time on Roar.
