0:00:02 > 0:00:06Today, on Roar. The hand-reared baby otters have been thriving.

0:00:06 > 0:00:08But there are tough times ahead.

0:00:08 > 0:00:10Will they survive the great outdoors,

0:00:10 > 0:00:13and swimming for the first time?

0:00:37 > 0:00:40- Hello, and welcome to Roar. I'm Rani.- And I'm Johny.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43- Johny, fancy a game of guess who? - Go on. You're on.

0:00:43 > 0:00:44OK. What am I?

0:00:44 > 0:00:46SHE GROANS

0:00:46 > 0:00:48I've got no idea. My Auntie Ruth?

0:00:48 > 0:00:50I'm a Bearded Dragon!

0:00:50 > 0:00:53Rani, that looks nothing like a Bearded Dragon.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Oh, and how would you know?

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Because this is a Bearded Dragon.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01- Amazing! I think we should get on with another amazing show!- Me, too.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Coming up today...

0:01:06 > 0:01:07The wolf pack go hunting.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10And their prey is running for its life.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13Let's just hope Johny doesn't mess it up.

0:01:13 > 0:01:17I think I've lost control...Oh, he's gone off road!

0:01:17 > 0:01:21Even cleaning up the tapir pool won't stop our rangers

0:01:21 > 0:01:22from falling in love.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29And, training the new Roar presenter isn't going as well as we'd hoped.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31Archie. Say goodbye.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33- Goodbye, Archie. - Goodbye.- Goodbye.

0:01:40 > 0:01:44All of you regular Roar-ers will have been following the story

0:01:44 > 0:01:47of two of the cutest animals we've ever seen.

0:01:47 > 0:01:48The baby otters.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54When they were born, their mum, Rosie, couldn't look after them.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57The keepers had to step in, and hand rear them.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02Their lives were hanging by a thread.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04But they turned out to be two little fighters,

0:02:04 > 0:02:08and have gone on from strength to strength.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11We were there for their first feed.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15We've weighed them...

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Working on Roar I've seen some cute things in my time,

0:02:18 > 0:02:20but they're definitely top five.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23And followed every part of their development so far.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28Just look at them now.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Kasem, the boy, and Sumalee, the girl, are eight-weeks-old,

0:02:31 > 0:02:34and keeper Bev, who has raised them from birth,

0:02:34 > 0:02:38is as proud as any mum could be.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40This is Sumalee. I'm giving her

0:02:40 > 0:02:42one of her bottles of milk.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44She's getting fed every five hours.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46It was every two hours.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Her teeth have started to come through.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Recently, they've been teething, and doing a lot of chewing.

0:02:51 > 0:02:56Also, the fur is completely different to how they used to be.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59They used to be a lot more grey fur,

0:02:59 > 0:03:01and are now a lot more brown fur.

0:03:01 > 0:03:02They're a lot bigger.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05They're putting on so much weight, which is brilliant.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09They're turning out to be right little characters.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11I've noticed he's a bit more boisterous.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13He's more adventurous, compared to her.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15She likes to stick by.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17She follows him around.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19She's very cheeky indeed.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22But, the comforts of the otter nursery are about to change.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26At this age in the wild, otter parents

0:03:26 > 0:03:28would take their young pups out of the holt

0:03:28 > 0:03:30for the first time, to face the dangers

0:03:30 > 0:03:32of the outside world.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35Foster mum Bev is doing the same today.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40I'm going to let them out for a bit of exercise now.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44This is their first time outside.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47This is where they'd start to come out with Mum for a bit of exercise.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51I'll just pop them down,

0:03:51 > 0:03:53see what they make of the enclosure.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56The first few steps are hesitant.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59But, they soon get their confidence.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02# MUSIC: Black Eyed Peas "Let's Get It Started"

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Bev hopes to reintroduce the pups back in with Mum and Dad

0:04:13 > 0:04:15when they're a bit older.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17But, for now, she's the carer.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Basically, I'm their mum.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22If they were with Rosie,

0:04:22 > 0:04:23they'd follow her around.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26It's a security thing, as well.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28This is their first time outside,

0:04:28 > 0:04:32so they're unsure of the different smells, different noises.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Sometimes they call out to say, "Where are you? Come back!"

0:04:35 > 0:04:39I think they definitely like being out and about.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42They'll start climbing on things on their own

0:04:42 > 0:04:44once they get better on their feet.

0:04:44 > 0:04:45They're still a bit wobbly.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Once they get better at it, and do it more often,

0:04:48 > 0:04:53they'll be able to climb around a lot more, which will be brilliant.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55But, now they're a lot bigger and stronger,

0:04:55 > 0:04:59it's great to see them come out and play and do really well.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01The first challenge has gone well today.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04But there's a much tougher one still to come.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Kasem and Sumalee have never seen water before.

0:05:07 > 0:05:11But they must learn how to swim.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14But, will it be a splash too far?

0:05:23 > 0:05:28Up in the Safari Park, the wolves are getting excited.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31They've spotted a strange creature in their territory.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Johny is in the middle of the pack.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37Wolves are formidable, cunning, and elusive hunters.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40We've come up with an ingenious plan to see them in action.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45We couldn't put real live prey in here, but we have this guy.

0:05:45 > 0:05:46This is Robo Deer.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54How are you doing, Stu?

0:05:54 > 0:05:56I'm all right, Johny, thanks.

0:05:56 > 0:05:57We have a plan, haven't we?

0:05:57 > 0:06:00We're going to put this chap in the wolves' enclosure.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03What d'you think they'll do when they see this thing?

0:06:03 > 0:06:06I think it could go either way.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09They could grab hold of it, and rip it to shreds,

0:06:09 > 0:06:11or they might suss it out. We shall see.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13I guess I need to get out there.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16Will that be all right? I see them circling.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18I think you're all clear.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Here we go. Wish me luck.

0:06:23 > 0:06:24All right, Stu?

0:06:24 > 0:06:25Yep.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29You better not go too much further,

0:06:29 > 0:06:32- cos they're showing a lot of interest.- Oh, gosh. OK.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37'Robot Deer's a remote controlled car

0:06:37 > 0:06:39'I can steer from inside the truck.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42'We want to test how the wolf pack would hunt in the wild.'

0:06:48 > 0:06:53He's moving. Robo Deer is moving.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09- Look, they're all following it. - They're into it now.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12You would not want that pack of wolves after you, would you?

0:07:12 > 0:07:13No, I certainly wouldn't!

0:07:13 > 0:07:15THEY LAUGH

0:07:15 > 0:07:16Thankfully, it IS just a Robo Deer.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Look at this! They're going to go for it!

0:07:18 > 0:07:21One of them will have a go at this soon.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23I'm so glad I'm not that Robo Deer.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26That is the beta male. He's second in charge.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Second in charge?- That's him, yeah.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Look at this. Wow!

0:07:32 > 0:07:34That's incredible!

0:07:34 > 0:07:37Funny that, even though it's a small thing, one hasn't come up

0:07:37 > 0:07:39and torn it to shreds already.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41They're clearly trying to think about it.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44They are. They're trying to suss that out, as well.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47'The big, bad wolf isn't as brave as he thought.'

0:07:47 > 0:07:49'Let's see that again.'

0:07:53 > 0:07:57Funny how once it started moving, they all went for it.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59I think I've lost control of Robo Dear.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01He's gone off road. I can't get him to move.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04This guy that's going in now, that's showing interest.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06He's bottom of the pack.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Often, they send the bottom of the pack in first,

0:08:09 > 0:08:11just to check for danger.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14So, if that thing gets up and bites it,

0:08:14 > 0:08:16they know to back off.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Look, there's two of them now.

0:08:18 > 0:08:19Why are they doing that with the paws?

0:08:19 > 0:08:23It's trying to establish a physical contact with it.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26If it turns round and bites him,

0:08:26 > 0:08:28he's not going in fully for it.

0:08:28 > 0:08:29Stu, if this really was live prey,

0:08:29 > 0:08:33would just one go in for the kill, or would they all go in at once?

0:08:33 > 0:08:37Probably, the majority of the pack would follow,

0:08:37 > 0:08:40and possibly

0:08:40 > 0:08:42a subgroup would go in straightaway,

0:08:42 > 0:08:47which would generally be led by one of the top dogs.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50Then his forces would join in from there on in.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Such an organised way to hunt.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55It's a very structured ranking system.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58It looks like they might have lost a bit of interest now.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01- It looks like they have. - Do they know they can't eat it?

0:09:01 > 0:09:06They may have realised, "It's not food, it's of no interest to us."

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Though they didn't go in for the kill,

0:09:09 > 0:09:11I found that unnerving to watch those wolves circling,

0:09:11 > 0:09:13so we do need Robo Deer back.

0:09:13 > 0:09:17Could you be the omega and get it for me? I'll play alpha.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20- OK, boss.- Brilliant.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22'So, Robo Deer has survived the wolf pack.

0:09:22 > 0:09:26'But how will it fare when it goes into the lions' den,

0:09:26 > 0:09:28'disguised as a zebra?

0:09:28 > 0:09:31'Find out later in the series.'

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Why is the fish shop always crowded?

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Because the fish FILLET.

0:09:39 > 0:09:43BOTH: Miaow!

0:09:43 > 0:09:47What kind of monkey can fly?

0:09:47 > 0:09:48A hot air baboon.

0:09:48 > 0:09:52MONKEY NOISES

0:09:53 > 0:09:56- Why was the spider on the computer? - I don't know.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Because he was searching the web.

0:09:58 > 0:09:59LAUGHING

0:10:08 > 0:10:12Our Roar Rangers today are sisters.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15Eleanor is 11, and Izzy is eight.

0:10:16 > 0:10:20I want to be a Roar Ranger because I love animals, I am an animal,

0:10:20 > 0:10:23and I love wolves.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25Woo-ooh!

0:10:26 > 0:10:29My favourite animal in the world is a leopard.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32I'd love to go up to one, and cuddle it.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34That would be nice.

0:10:34 > 0:10:38At home, the girls have a pet dog called Penny,

0:10:38 > 0:10:40and two hamsters named Snowcoat and Spirit.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43But, with over a thousand animals at the Safari Park,

0:10:43 > 0:10:48they may be looking after something a little bigger today.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55THEY CHEER

0:10:55 > 0:10:58I can't wait to get my hands dirty.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01Let's hope they don't do too much poo.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04You're going to get your hands in mucky, mucky muck!

0:11:05 > 0:11:08Time to meet keeper Bev.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11We're in the tapir paddock today.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15- You've come to give me a hand, is that right?- BOTH: Yep.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19OK. Start off with the worst job today.

0:11:19 > 0:11:20Poo.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22Yes, it's poo-related, I'm afraid.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25- If you're ready for pooper-scooping...- OK.

0:11:25 > 0:11:29- Excellent.- Poop Patrol!

0:11:36 > 0:11:38We haven't got too much poo today.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41It's just that big lump of brown down there.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45Oh, no. It's wet poo. In the pond.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49If you want to try and scoop it, without getting too dirty.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Keep pulling it up a bit,

0:11:54 > 0:11:57and then put it in the pot, so I can take it away.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59A giant blob of poo!

0:11:59 > 0:12:01If you can aim it at the bucket,

0:12:01 > 0:12:04without getting it anywhere else.

0:12:04 > 0:12:05Oh, look at that.

0:12:05 > 0:12:06Well done.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09# Something strange in the neighbourhood

0:12:09 > 0:12:12# Who are you going to call?

0:12:12 > 0:12:14# Poobusters! #

0:12:14 > 0:12:17Tapirs usually go to the toilet in water.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Luckily, it's near the side of the pond today,

0:12:20 > 0:12:22and not in the middle.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24That's a lot of poo.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27We had this pond cleaned out this morning,

0:12:27 > 0:12:29and that's only one poo.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31She's a big girl.

0:12:31 > 0:12:32You'll meet her in a bit.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35She does poo a lot during the day.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37How much do they eat to do all this poo?

0:12:37 > 0:12:41She's grazing at the grass all day, as it's summer, so she's eating...

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Oh, my gosh! She's eating quite a lot!

0:12:43 > 0:12:45It's on my hand! It's on my hand!

0:12:47 > 0:12:51What are you, Izzy? A poo keeper, or a zoo keeper?

0:12:51 > 0:12:55Just remember to wash your hands well once the job's done.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59She is like a cow, or more like a horse.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02Can I wipe this on the grass?

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Yes, I would. If you can find somewhere clean.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08Don't come near me!

0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Would you like a hug, Eleanor? - No, thank you, Izzy.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14Has she got diarrhoea? No...

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Does she drink from this lake?

0:13:16 > 0:13:19She could if she's swimming round. She's probably take in some water.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22She can drink from the top where the stream comes in,

0:13:22 > 0:13:25but we make sure she has a clean drink here.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27I wouldn't swim...

0:13:27 > 0:13:28She doesn't mind so much.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31She likes swimming in here.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34In the wild, tapirs spend a lot of time in the water.

0:13:34 > 0:13:38It helps keep them safe from predators, like jaguars.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42It keeps the insects off, and helps them cool down.

0:13:42 > 0:13:46That's lovely, girls. Well done. I think we're nearly there.

0:13:46 > 0:13:50That's the bottom of the pond. I think we've got the poo out.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Can I wash my hands? - Yes, I think we better.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56With a clean pond, and clean hands,

0:13:56 > 0:13:59what did our rangers think of their stinky job?

0:13:59 > 0:14:01It was very stinky. I'm glad I don't have tapir' nose.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03It's not that bad,

0:14:03 > 0:14:07it's just recycled grass.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10Recycled grass? So is a compost heap!

0:14:10 > 0:14:14Stay with us to see what happens when Izzy and Eleanor finally meet

0:14:14 > 0:14:17the massive poo machine herself,

0:14:17 > 0:14:18Jessie the tapir.

0:14:26 > 0:14:27It's been a really busy time

0:14:27 > 0:14:30in Longleat East Africa Reserve this year.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33There have been loads of baby zebra and giraffe born.

0:14:40 > 0:14:41For the keepers,

0:14:41 > 0:14:45keeping the giraffes fed is almost a full-time job.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48They can eat up to 60 kilograms of fresh food every day.

0:14:48 > 0:14:52That's like us having 126 burgers.

0:14:52 > 0:14:57I'm on my way to the giraffery to help out with feeding time.

0:14:57 > 0:15:01This is really exciting. Andy has invited me for breakfast.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Not with him, that would be messy.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06But with these beauties, the Rothschild giraffe.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08Thanks so much, Andy.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10I hope we're not doing egg on toast,

0:15:10 > 0:15:11cos I'm rubbish at cooking.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15We'll give them a ration of their hard feed every morning.

0:15:15 > 0:15:19We give them this pelleted feed.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22They get about a third of what they get throughout the day

0:15:22 > 0:15:25for breakfast to pep them up for the day,

0:15:25 > 0:15:29so they're bouncing round for all our visitor.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33If you take this one, we have eight feeders along here.

0:15:33 > 0:15:37If you split that between the first three, I'll do the rest.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39SHE GROANS

0:15:39 > 0:15:41- It's quite heavy. - It's not that.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43They're blowing so much hot air,

0:15:43 > 0:15:46I feel I'm in a wind tunnel.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49They have very big nostrils, not to be mean to the ladies.

0:15:49 > 0:15:53So every morning you give them the pellets?

0:15:53 > 0:15:56And this is filled with loads of goodness and stuff?

0:15:56 > 0:16:00Yeah. It has pretty much all they need.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03In the evening, they get some other food, as well.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06Looking at the giraffes,

0:16:06 > 0:16:08these are huge ladies.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11How do they all sleep in here?

0:16:11 > 0:16:12I can't see any duvets.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Do they lie down, sit down? What happens?

0:16:15 > 0:16:18They won't all go to sleep at the same time.

0:16:18 > 0:16:23Giraffe probably only sleep for two hours a night.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26Somebody will always be standing guard.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28They can also doze standing up.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31Just look in here. We never get to see them like this.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33How many are in there?

0:16:33 > 0:16:37There's 14 in here. The little ones are in here, as well.

0:16:37 > 0:16:42- That's our new boy.- He has a bit of a naughty look in his eye.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44He has a little bit of attitude about him.

0:16:44 > 0:16:49He's brilliant, because he's pretty feisty.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52Kaiser's very quiet but that's probably to do with Mum,

0:16:52 > 0:16:58cos Imogen is so laid back. So easy-going, she just plods around.

0:16:58 > 0:17:02- He's like mum.- It's fantastic to see them like this.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05They seem to be getting on with eating their breakfast.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07Andy, I'll leave you now.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09I know you probably have to do the cleaning out,

0:17:09 > 0:17:11and don't want me to get in the way.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14I don't mind. You can give us a hand.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16- Thanks, Andy. Take care! - Rani, come back!

0:17:24 > 0:17:25Back at Animal Adventure,

0:17:25 > 0:17:29the two baby otters are facing another big challenge.

0:17:29 > 0:17:32Their first swimming lesson.

0:17:32 > 0:17:36They've never seen water before so it's going to be very frightening.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39In the wild, otters spend much of their time in the water

0:17:39 > 0:17:42as they hunt for their food.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Their homes, or holts, as they're called,

0:17:44 > 0:17:47are usually in riverbanks so, if they're to survive,

0:17:47 > 0:17:50young otters have to learn to swim at an early age.

0:17:50 > 0:17:54What we're going to do is put them in a bit of water in the sink

0:17:54 > 0:17:58because in the wild this is about the age they'd start coming out

0:17:58 > 0:18:02and Mum and Dad would chuck them in the water as such

0:18:02 > 0:18:04and they would start learning to swim.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07So I'm going to put them in and see what their reaction is.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10MUSIC: "I Go Swimming" by Peter Gabriel

0:18:13 > 0:18:16# I go swimming

0:18:16 > 0:18:19# Swimming in the water

0:18:19 > 0:18:22# Swimming in the river Swimming in the sea

0:18:22 > 0:18:23# I go swimming... #

0:18:23 > 0:18:28OK, this is just the baby pool but they seem to be enjoying it.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30# Swimming in the water

0:18:30 > 0:18:32# Swimming in the pool

0:18:32 > 0:18:33# Swimming is cool

0:18:33 > 0:18:35# I go swimming... #

0:18:35 > 0:18:38This is the first time I had to teach the otters to swim

0:18:38 > 0:18:42so it's a new experience for me to see their reaction, really.

0:18:42 > 0:18:47I've seen Rosie do it to her young in the past.

0:18:47 > 0:18:51Basically, they just chuck them in, they try and paddle for a bit

0:18:51 > 0:18:53and then they go in and bring them back out.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56But to see their reaction like this, I've never seen before.

0:18:56 > 0:18:57It's good fun. It's interesting.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00They've got two types of fur.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03One is to insulate them and keep them nice and warm

0:19:03 > 0:19:07and one's to sort of waterproof them as such as well.

0:19:07 > 0:19:11And of course their feet are designed webbed to help them swim

0:19:11 > 0:19:14and also their tails are quite fit - they use that as a propeller

0:19:14 > 0:19:17to help them swim around

0:19:19 > 0:19:21You enjoy that?

0:19:21 > 0:19:24I'm going to try and dry them off a bit.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27They probably would roll around in the hay

0:19:27 > 0:19:30and straw in the enclosure to dry off.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32Mum would probably dry them off too.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34I think they enjoyed it.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37I think it was different sort of smells again in there.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41It's good for them to get in the water and give them

0:19:41 > 0:19:42a nice bath as well.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45Today's swimming lesson has gone well

0:19:45 > 0:19:47but the next challenge for Kasem

0:19:47 > 0:19:51and Sumalee is to take the plunge in the deep end.

0:19:51 > 0:19:55We will probably start doing it every couple of days. Introduce it.

0:19:55 > 0:19:59Once they get a bit better, we'll do it every day.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01Eventually, they'll go outside.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04We'll give them a little paddling pool or something.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07It's been a big day for the youngsters and for Bev,

0:20:07 > 0:20:09who is quite the proud mum.

0:20:09 > 0:20:13It's been quite exhausting, really, hand-rearing them.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16Especially the beginning getting up every two hours to feed them.

0:20:16 > 0:20:20When they start living here at night and I can't take them home,

0:20:20 > 0:20:23that's going to be very hard and strange.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25But it's definitely worth it.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28To see them grown up and be how they are now, is brilliant.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31It's the best feeling in the world.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40Calling all you gamers.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42Pay attention now because here comes today's cheat code.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48Type that in and see where it gets you.

0:20:48 > 0:20:52Now, if you haven't had a go at the Roar game on the CBBC website,

0:20:52 > 0:20:53it's high time you did.

0:20:53 > 0:20:57It's easy to get started and is great fun. Happy gaming.

0:21:06 > 0:21:11Up in the tapir paddock our two Roar Rangers, Izzy and Eleanor,

0:21:11 > 0:21:13have cleaned up all that stinky poo.

0:21:13 > 0:21:19And now comes the fun bit - meeting Jessie for some tapir tickling.

0:21:19 > 0:21:24She's very, very well behaved. She's quite a good tapir, actually.

0:21:24 > 0:21:25She's lovely.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Izzy, if you want to keep tickling her

0:21:27 > 0:21:29and, Eleanor, if I give you the brush

0:21:29 > 0:21:32- and you start brushing her back for me.- OK.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34And then she'll stay still.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36She'll stay better when she's getting a lot of attention

0:21:36 > 0:21:38and she's getting tickled and scratched

0:21:38 > 0:21:41she does better at standing still and being brushed.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44Although Jessie enjoys the attention,

0:21:44 > 0:21:45she is still a wild animal

0:21:45 > 0:21:48so the only reason our rangers can get this close

0:21:48 > 0:21:51is because they're with Bev, who is a trained keeper.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53How often do you need to brush her?

0:21:53 > 0:21:56We brush her every day because she's still moulting quite a lot.

0:21:56 > 0:21:57I can see.

0:21:57 > 0:22:01Getting the summer coat through. So some of the hair's coming out.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03But it also makes any of the dry skin go away.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05It makes her look pretty and also,

0:22:05 > 0:22:08sometimes we come in in the morning and she's all muddy

0:22:08 > 0:22:11and she's been down in the ditch mooching about, in the pond

0:22:11 > 0:22:12so it's always worth giving her a brush.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15Jessie is a Brazilian tapir.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18They are the largest land animals in South America

0:22:18 > 0:22:21and live in rainforests from Venezuela in the north

0:22:21 > 0:22:22to Argentina in the south.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25She's got quite big ears and quite a big nose.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27What's her main sense?

0:22:27 > 0:22:30She's very good at listening.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32Her eyesight isn't brilliant

0:22:32 > 0:22:34and obviously she's in the big dense rainforest

0:22:34 > 0:22:36and she'll be listening out of her ears

0:22:36 > 0:22:38and she's got quite a good sense of smell

0:22:38 > 0:22:40but that's more for food.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43A tapir is both a browser and a grazer.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46They use their incredible nose like a finger,

0:22:46 > 0:22:48plucking leaves from branches

0:22:48 > 0:22:51and rummaging around on the ground for food.

0:22:51 > 0:22:52With that big, bendy nose,

0:22:52 > 0:22:55you might think tapirs are related to elephants

0:22:55 > 0:23:00but actually their closest relatives are rhinos and horses.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04This is wonderful. She's just got a bit of nose slobber on me.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09It's a bit of a compliment actually, coming from a tapir.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12I think our Roar Rangers have fallen in love

0:23:12 > 0:23:15though I'm not sure that Mum and Dad

0:23:15 > 0:23:18would want Jessie hogging the sofa at home.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22- I think it's be better if you take a baby one home.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24- Her eyes are closing, she's falling asleep.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27- She looks really happy.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34Here she goes. Watch out, girls, she's going to roll.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37- She's lying down! - There you go.

0:23:37 > 0:23:41She's like a dog. My dog likes me rubbing her tummy.

0:23:41 > 0:23:45- You two don't want to leave her now, do you?- No.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48If our rangers can pull themselves away for just one minute,

0:23:48 > 0:23:51they now have to get the tapir's food ball

0:23:51 > 0:23:53and fill it up with some tasty treats.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55How often do you let her play with it?

0:23:55 > 0:23:57We normally give it to her every other day,

0:23:57 > 0:24:01otherwise she gets too used to it and gets bored.

0:24:01 > 0:24:06- Should I put it on the ground? - Yes, let's see what she does.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08She's playing football.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19Our rangers have done a great job

0:24:19 > 0:24:22but, sadly, they have to say their goodbyes.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26So, we'll head off, I think. If that's all right.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28Yeah. I'll miss her.

0:24:30 > 0:24:33It was absolutely fantastic being tapir keepers.

0:24:33 > 0:24:36Expert poo-picking, actually.

0:24:36 > 0:24:40I'm very glad no-one fell in the pond. It's always a bonus.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43Brushing her was the best part

0:24:43 > 0:24:47because as soon as we finished she just lay down going...

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Very good grooming, very good round Jessie.

0:24:51 > 0:24:55Jessie was very well behaved. So, I think it all went very well.

0:24:55 > 0:24:59BOTH: Tapirs are fantastic.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Love the tapirs.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16PARROT VOICE: We've come to the end of another episode of Roar.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Er, Johny, what you doing there?

0:25:19 > 0:25:22I'm just trying to train the parrot to say something.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25I think you need some help with this.

0:25:25 > 0:25:29- Amy is an expert here with the parrots, aren't you?- Yeah.

0:25:29 > 0:25:33Johny's trying to teach Archie here a whole phrase. Is this possible?

0:25:33 > 0:25:36You can teach them. They do have a wide range of vocabulary

0:25:36 > 0:25:38so they do pick up things really easily.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42Archie's really young, really intelligent,

0:25:42 > 0:25:44so he'll pick up things straightaway.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47But training them is so much harder than it looks.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50How do you go about training a parrot?

0:25:50 > 0:25:54With words, it's just repeating the words and rewarding them,

0:25:54 > 0:25:56so when they say the word, you give them a reward.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59Archie says a couple of things and knows

0:25:59 > 0:26:02if he says what you ask him to say he will get a reward so he'll say it.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05Come on then, we all want to know, what can Archie say?

0:26:05 > 0:26:07Archie can say hello.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09Every parrot should be able to say that.

0:26:09 > 0:26:13He can do a cheeky laugh. And he can blow a kiss as well.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15I love it. Can you get him to do any of that now?

0:26:15 > 0:26:17- Yeah.- Wicked.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20Archie, you going to do your laugh? Ha-ha-ha.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23ARCHIE LAUGHS Very good, good boy.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26- That is brilliant! - Absolutely amazing!

0:26:26 > 0:26:29Like you said, he gets his little reward after that.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31- So he's happy and we... - He's happy.

0:26:31 > 0:26:35As it's nearly the end of the show, can we teach him to say goodbye?

0:26:35 > 0:26:39- You could teach him, by all means, yeah.- Right, Archie? Goodbye.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43That was rubbish. I'll do it. Archie, say goodbye.

0:26:43 > 0:26:48- Goodbye, Archie.- Goodbye. - Goodbye. Goodbye.- Goodbye, Arch...

0:26:48 > 0:26:50Maybe we need a really big bag of nuts.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52I think we've got our work cut out.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54While we try and get Archie here to play ball,

0:26:54 > 0:26:57why don't you check out what coming up on the next episode of Roar.

0:26:57 > 0:26:59He might be saying it by then. Goodbye.

0:27:01 > 0:27:05Next time, it's the animal Olympics and the finalists are warming up

0:27:05 > 0:27:08to see who is the fastest in the park.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10The lions are looking confident

0:27:10 > 0:27:13but could Dave the tortoise be a contender?

0:27:13 > 0:27:16The anteater might not be a sprinter

0:27:16 > 0:27:20but she'd certainly win the longest tongue award.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25And in the being brave category,

0:27:25 > 0:27:28Johny lets the side down when the bats get a bit fruity.

0:27:28 > 0:27:32I have got a bat on me. I have actually got a bat on me.

0:27:32 > 0:27:33- Is he all right?- He's fine.

0:27:33 > 0:27:34Don't miss it.
