0:00:02 > 0:00:07Today on Roar, the keepers think Rosina the rhino may be pregnant.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10They've called in experts for a test.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13It's been a long time since they had a baby like this
0:00:13 > 0:00:16at the safari park, so everyone is crossing their fingers
0:00:16 > 0:00:18and holding their breath.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48- Hello and welcome to Roar. I'm Johny.- And I'm Rani.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51I'll show you how to make this porcupine quill
0:00:51 > 0:00:53practical and fashionable.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Cool! I'm going to show you how to make this porcupine quill disappear.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- Oh, now that's magic. - Thanks, Rani. I can't find it.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05No, seriously, I can't find it.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07I think we should get on with today's show.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Ouch!
0:01:10 > 0:01:16Coming up: the tigers might look like lazy cats, but don't be fooled.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21They are excellent climbers, but how high will they climb up this tree?
0:01:22 > 0:01:26I'll be catching up with the cutest babies on the park.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28It's walkies time for the baby otters.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35And a group of ferrets is called a business,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37but will the keeper know her business
0:01:37 > 0:01:39when this lot give her a grilling?
0:01:48 > 0:01:54But we start today with a story about baby rhino.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59These shots of the park were taken over 20 years ago.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Young Ronnie was the last baby born here,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06as head of the safari park Keith Harris remembers.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10All babies are nice, but baby rhino are so prehistoric
0:02:10 > 0:02:13and they're a lot of fun.
0:02:13 > 0:02:19With white rhino, the calf leads the way, so the mother follows the calf.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Most other species, it's the other way round.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24When you let them out, the mother follows the baby,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28even though the mother knows where she's going, she doesn't care.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Wherever the baby goes, she goes.
0:02:29 > 0:02:35The babies are born without horns which grow at about 7cm a year.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Seeing baby rhino at the park again would be a dream come true
0:02:39 > 0:02:41for Deputy Head Ian Turner.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44A baby rhino is very, very special.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Of all the animals we've got in the safari park,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48if I could have one wish for one baby,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50it would be a baby rhino for sure.
0:02:52 > 0:02:5460 years ago, because of poaching,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57white rhino were critically endangered.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59There were less than 1,000 in the world.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Now, thanks to conservation, their numbers have increased.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05As part of that international effort,
0:03:05 > 0:03:09the safari park wants to restart their breeding programme.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Keith travelled to South Africa to collect three young rhino
0:03:13 > 0:03:16from breeding centres.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21But catching the youngsters in the bush is not easy.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24The actual darting was done by helicopter
0:03:24 > 0:03:27and then trackers go out and track the rhino
0:03:27 > 0:03:30because obviously once they're darted, it's very important
0:03:30 > 0:03:33to keep an eye on them - the helicopter does that.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36He watches where the rhino goes and he guides in trackers,
0:03:36 > 0:03:42and the Land Rovers and the boxes to actually pick the rhino up.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45After sedating them, the trackers put cotton wool in their ears
0:03:45 > 0:03:47and cover their eyes to keep them calm.
0:03:47 > 0:03:53It is quite exciting and it has to be done very quickly
0:03:53 > 0:03:56because the biggest thing we try to avoid is stress to the animal.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01The young animals were carefully put into travelling crates,
0:04:01 > 0:04:06loaded on to the back of gigantic lorries and sped across the country.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10It took one giant aeroplane, a team of vets,
0:04:10 > 0:04:17and a 10,000km flight to get this precious cargo safely to the UK.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23After arriving at the park, the youngsters settled in well
0:04:23 > 0:04:26and everyone hoped that one day they may have babies.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29They are an animal that were nearly extinct
0:04:29 > 0:04:34and we are actually trying to be here for a purpose
0:04:34 > 0:04:37that we can breed rhinos successfully.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40And if ever something goes wrong in the wild again,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42we've got rhino that could go back,
0:04:42 > 0:04:44so it is very important for conservation,
0:04:44 > 0:04:46that we are able to breed rhino.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49That all happened seven years ago
0:04:49 > 0:04:54and today Rosina, Anjanu and Marashi are now mature adults.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Head of section Andy Hayton has been monitoring them
0:04:57 > 0:04:59and thinks there might be good news.
0:04:59 > 0:05:05In December, we had another mating from Rosina and Anjanu.
0:05:05 > 0:05:11He hasn't mated her again. So they won't mate if she's pregnant.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14So, mathematically, we're saying she should be pregnant.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19If Rosina is expecting, this would be fantastic for the species
0:05:19 > 0:05:20and for everyone at the park.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23It's very hard to tell with rhinos.
0:05:23 > 0:05:30They don't get really big like people do, you know, it's hard to tell.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35The only way the keepers can know is to do an ultrasound scan of Rosina.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37There aren't many people in the world
0:05:37 > 0:05:39with the right equipment to do it.
0:05:39 > 0:05:45The procedure we do isn't the kind of thing that your average vet can do.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48There's one particular group of people in Germany,
0:05:48 > 0:05:52one guy in particular, who is a rhino-breeding expert.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55He's the best man for the job. He's the man that's coming to do it.
0:05:55 > 0:06:01The expert's test will tell the team on-the-spot the good or bad news.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03A lot of people will be waiting for the result.
0:06:03 > 0:06:10So there will either be a cheer or a few very numb faces and we'll see.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13We'll be back at the rhino house later
0:06:13 > 0:06:15when the team arrives for the test.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Up in the Big Cat Reserve,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24the tigers have their own pool to chill out in.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Keeper Bob Trollope tells me
0:06:26 > 0:06:30they're not just good swimmers, they are also excellent climbers.
0:06:30 > 0:06:36So today we're going to try and find out just how high tigers can climb.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40I'm not afraid to say I'm scared of heights and of big ferocious cats.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44So the thought of a tiger up a tree fills me with dread
0:06:44 > 0:06:47and that's exactly what keeper Bob intends to do today.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Bob, what are you thinking?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Well, what we're going to do is hide some meat up there
0:06:51 > 0:06:53to encourage them up the trees a bit.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58- You want to encourage tigers to go up trees?- We do.- All right.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Tigers, they're over there.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Can they actually climb or are we leaving a ladder out for them?
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- No, this is solely for me.- Right, OK. - Because they can climb brilliantly.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Sandari is excellent.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13She'll be straight over there, much quicker than I can get up there.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16She can get the meat and jump down from a great height,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19go off and eat that and go back for some more hopefully.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Let me give you a hand here. - OK.- Have you ever tried this before?
0:07:22 > 0:07:27We do it from time to time, just to add a bit of variety in their life.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31And how are you expecting tigers to actually get up the tree like that?
0:07:31 > 0:07:36I should imagine they will leap half of it, at least, from the ground.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38They'll leap two or three metres
0:07:38 > 0:07:40and then clamber up to get the meat and jump off.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Bob, in my eyes, that's really high for a tiger to climb.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Looking at the size of them, they're big and heavy,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I'm thinking they're clumsy. You want them to go higher.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Yeah, they'll go a lot higher than this!
0:07:54 > 0:07:56I think the STAKES will be too high.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Why don't you join us later
0:07:57 > 0:08:02and see if the tigers are willing to climb the trees for a chunk of meat?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Come on, Bob, I'll give you a hand.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20It's exam time for another keeper.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Being put to the test today is Animal Adventures Alexa.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26She will be answering questions about ferrets.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Alexa, have you been doing your homework?
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Lots of homework.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Hercules is here to help me as well.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36I'm glad to hear it. Who's going to fire away with a question first?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Do ferrets make good pets for young children?- It depends.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40You need to have a lot of time.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45They sleep 18 hours a day. The six hours they're awake, they're crazy,
0:08:45 > 0:08:47so you need to have lots and lots of time.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49You need to know how to care for them.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Don't buy one and think it'll be fine.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- You need to know about them. - Got another question?
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- What's a ferret's life span? - Ah, a ferret's life span.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03Here, in captivity, they can live to around 10 or 12 years
0:09:03 > 0:09:06and we've heard that some can get up to 15.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- So quite a long time.- Do ferrets really run up people's trousers?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Well, ferrets, as lovely as they are, do like dark places.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17So, if you're wearing very wide-legged trousers
0:09:17 > 0:09:20they might think it's a nice tunnel to run up,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23but they can't get a grip up your leg, so they won't get too far.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Where do ferrets come from?- You won't find a ferret out in the wild.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31They've been bred from animals such as polecats and many, many years ago,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34monks used them for hunting mice and things like that.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Can I touch it?- Of course, you can. Give him a lovely big stroke!
0:09:37 > 0:09:41He likes a lot of fuss and attention.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44He seems friendly. Do you want to have a little stroke? Is that OK?
0:09:44 > 0:09:49- Of course, have a lovely stroke of him.- He feels really soft.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50So do ferrets moult?
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Do you get ferret hairs all over the place, like dogs when they moult?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57They do moult. They have summer and winter coats
0:09:57 > 0:10:00like most animals do - obviously a lot shorter in the summer
0:10:00 > 0:10:03and gets nice and thick and warmer in the winter.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Ferrets can actually put on about 40% of their bodyweight in the winter
0:10:06 > 0:10:08just staying nice and warm.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09So they need a lot of fur there.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Their hairs are short and fine, so you don't often find them around.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Alexia, it has been lovely having a chat with you about ferrets.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18It's going to get serious
0:10:18 > 0:10:21because we're going to have you ferreting about for an answer
0:10:21 > 0:10:23when we ask our Killer Question!
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Come on, guys.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32OK, we're ready.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34FAKE LAUGHTER
0:10:39 > 0:10:42A-ha. Here we go.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46The Latin name for a ferret is Mustela putorius,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49but what does it mean?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Ah, that is a very good question.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55It means smelly, weasel-like thief.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01She got it right. I can't believe it.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Well done, a round of applause for that, guys.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10Overall, how do we our Alexa did today? A thumbs-up or a thumbs-down?
0:11:10 > 0:11:14It's got to be thumbs-up all round, Alexa, you did smashingly well.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23So, if I told you a 150kg tiger was going to climb up a tree
0:11:23 > 0:11:27all for a little bit of meat, would you believe me?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I don't know if I believe Bob,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32but you seem to think this is the case, don't you?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I'm not sure if all three will go up a tree,
0:11:34 > 0:11:36but I'm sure one of them will.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- Yeah, which one is that?- Sandari.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42All right, earlier on the show we placed meat up those trees.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44We placed some meat about five metres.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48We have placed them even as high as six or seven metres
0:11:48 > 0:11:50so we're going to find out if the tigers can climb.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Bob, release the beast, please.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Do you think she will run straight up the tree?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- They're big!- She knows we're up to something.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03She's got to sniff around. She knows we're here.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Because we were walking around that would be a scent as well.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09She's gone straight over to our car.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11That's our other Roar production team.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13They're trying to capture more of the action.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18Yeah, she's just intrigued on the smells that we laid.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Obviously the meat is going to be a strong smell
0:12:21 > 0:12:24so she's going to have to realise that it is up there.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27She knows it's here. She's looking at that tree.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29When she sees it, she'll be up there.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- Feel like saying, "Getting hotter." - There she goes.- Oh, my goodness.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34- She's... - RANI GASPS
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- Oh, wow.- She's got to work her way up there.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- That is unbelievable.- She's got a piece. Straight down.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46So that's one. There are several more pieces up there.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Bob, I think I am quite speechless.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53- That was unbelievable. - It is incredible, isn't it?
0:12:53 > 0:12:57I think I was expecting them to have a really good run up
0:12:57 > 0:13:01to get up to the tree, but actually it was quite close
0:13:01 > 0:13:03where Sandari pushed herself up.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05That is a lot of power in the legs as well.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09That spring which they needed to sort of get so far up
0:13:09 > 0:13:12and then you can see the power of pulling her weight.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16If you think 150 kilos, pulling on her front legs,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19that's an incredible feat.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22They realise there is a piece of meat.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- They are going to bully her off. - Ooh-hoo!
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Sandari will now be protective
0:13:29 > 0:13:32because she has virtually claimed that tree as hers now.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- So it is just not the meat, it is the whole tree?- Yes.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39She knows there's food there and doesn't want the others to get it.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41She'll protect that meat.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Wow! Did you see that?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- That's incredible.- That was amazing!
0:13:47 > 0:13:50That's going against the lean of the tree.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54She has all her weight there and that's about seven metres.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Seven metres.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59That's higher than a giraffe.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Bob, she took up half of the tree.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05She just went up and then she just clambered...
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Was that Sandari again? - That's Sandari again.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Look, look, we're going again.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13There she goes.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17She's got to work out how to get down.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Wow!- Mugged again!
0:14:20 > 0:14:24She just looks like she is really enjoying it, getting up there.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26- Do you think she is?- I think she is.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30If she was hungry, she would sit down and munch away,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32but she's just playing.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Bob, she's a little bit close for comfort
0:14:37 > 0:14:41and now we know that tigers can swim, they can run very fast
0:14:41 > 0:14:45and climb trees, I think the best thing for us to do is drive off.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Go on, Bob.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Back up at the rhino house, it's a big day for Rosina.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11International rhino doctor Robert Hermes and his team have arrived
0:15:11 > 0:15:13to give her a pregnancy test.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20He's brought along an ultrasound machine which uses sound waves
0:15:20 > 0:15:24to create a picture of what is happening inside the rhino's body.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27It's a bit like the ones they use on pregnant mums,
0:15:27 > 0:15:29but with rhinos, it's different.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33They're very big animals.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36They have a very thick skin so different from humans
0:15:36 > 0:15:38where you ultrasound that from the outside
0:15:38 > 0:15:40and you can see everything very nicely.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43In these guys, you have to do it from the inside.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49But with rhino, any procedure is risky.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53They can weigh up to 2,500 kilogrammes.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57That's twice the weight of the keepers' trucks.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Park vet Chris Mangham needs to give Marashi a small sedative
0:16:01 > 0:16:03to keep her calm during the scan.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05He has to be very careful.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I think the major danger with these guys is
0:16:07 > 0:16:09you have got a lot of metal about and a big rhino.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12You don't want to get caught between the two.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Rhino, are attracted to the colour white so Robert uses a cloth
0:16:21 > 0:16:25to guide Rosina into a small pen so vet Chris can sedate her.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Come on, then. Come on, then.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38They want Rosina to be standing for the scan
0:16:38 > 0:16:42so they will only give her a small amount of the drug.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Well, ironically they are the biggest in the park,
0:16:45 > 0:16:48but they are really soppy and you can stroke their ears.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52So we're going to lull them over to the side of the cage,
0:16:52 > 0:16:55give them a stroke and put the needle in without them noticing.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01The skin is this sort of thickness and they really won't feel it.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Good girl. Steady, then.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Steady. Good girl.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11The sedative will just make her feel drowsy.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15The keepers keep her calm and happy with food and strokes.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21With Rosina relaxed, Robert can get to work, but what will they find?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26We'll be up at the rhino house later.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- How does a tiger stop the TV? - I don't know.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35Paws.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Moo!
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Why did the dog go to court?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Because he got a barking ticket.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Woof-woof, woof-woof, woof-woof.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- What do you call a crab that doesn't share his food?- I don't know.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Shellfish.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04OK, all you gamers, it's cheat code time.
0:18:04 > 0:18:12Today's secret code is fog 120. Type that in and see what you get.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13Happy gaming.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Bev and I are having a stroll
0:18:24 > 0:18:27with the cutest little cuddly-wuddly things in the park.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30It's the baby otters. Check these guys out.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- They're quite interested in my shoe at the moment.- They are.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36It is not often that you see them running freely around,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- but it's a quiet day today. - It's a quiet day
0:18:38 > 0:18:41so they walk across for a bit of play time.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44So what will these otters play around with?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47I've got toys for them. I've got some balls for them.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50I've got some teething dummies as well for them
0:18:50 > 0:18:52because they do like chewing a lot as well.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56I can't get over how cute they are.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58And you know what, Bev, we've followed them
0:18:58 > 0:19:01throughout their life cycle so far.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10So we've got Kazeem and Samali, a boy and a girl. How old are they now?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- They're ten weeks old now. - They're both developing well?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Yeah, Kazeem is the biggest.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19- Samali is definitely the bossy one out of the two.- The little girl?
0:19:19 > 0:19:23The little girl, yeah. He has to do what he is told.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25He's giving my finger a bite.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28They're not sharp enough to do any damage, but are they teething?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31They have got some of their teeth already
0:19:31 > 0:19:33and the rest are starting to come through now
0:19:33 > 0:19:37so this is to prepare them for when they eat solid food.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40But they will get quite sharp. This is a play thing.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44- They don't mean it when they nip. - Are otters playful animals?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47They're young otters, but will that change as they grow older?
0:19:47 > 0:19:48They are very playful.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Even when they are adults, they're playful with each other,
0:19:52 > 0:19:53especially in the water.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55In their pool, they will jump around
0:19:55 > 0:19:59and play with each other, so, yes, it is just throughout life they are.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02So what kind of toys have we got here? I've seen a dummy.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Yes. Yes, I have got some dummies for them
0:20:04 > 0:20:07and this is important especially when their teeth
0:20:07 > 0:20:10are starting to come through like babies.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13They like to chew on things so I got teething dummies for them.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15The balls, they like to play with.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19They are always using their hands, their paws, basically,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21so it's important to give them things to do.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25As well being playtime, they're learning how to control their arms
0:20:25 > 0:20:27and how to become otters?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Yes, very much so. It is important
0:20:29 > 0:20:33for them to get used to... they don't like sharing at times.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- What is that noise?- It is basically him saying, "That's mine!"
0:20:37 > 0:20:42- Have we just heard a baby otter growling?- Yes, we did.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Is there a point where you have to release them into the big wide world
0:20:46 > 0:20:48and let them go and not look after them any more?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Yes. It won't be long now really
0:20:50 > 0:20:54and we're going to start introducing them back with Mum and Dad.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57It'll be great and they'll start realising they are otters
0:20:57 > 0:21:01and not human like me, so it will be great.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04It will be great, but it must be a sad for you as well
0:21:04 > 0:21:05because they are so cute?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Yeah, I'm going to miss them.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I'm going to miss not taking them home
0:21:09 > 0:21:11and not having them run around my house.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13It is funny to see them getting confident
0:21:13 > 0:21:16and a cheeky now, playing around with your shoelace.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19As far as I'm concerned, any time is playtime
0:21:19 > 0:21:21with these beautiful baby otters.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Back up at the rhino house, Dr Robert Hermes
0:21:31 > 0:21:33is doing an ultrasound test on Rosina
0:21:33 > 0:21:35to see if she's carrying a baby rhino.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38This machine uses sound waves to create a picture
0:21:38 > 0:21:41of what's happening inside an animal.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43It is the moment of truth a little bit
0:21:43 > 0:21:46because we know she's been mating regularly
0:21:46 > 0:21:48and it would be so lovely if she's pregnant.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52I think for a lot of us here it is almost ten years of work
0:21:52 > 0:21:55coming to fruition. We will see.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01The hopes of all the keepers now rest on what Robert can see
0:22:01 > 0:22:02with his machine.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Can he see a baby rhino?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23It's taking a worrying long time.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Nothing.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Not even... No remnants, nothing.
0:22:40 > 0:22:46So if it's six months that she cycled the last time, then she's...
0:22:46 > 0:22:48It's not good news.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Rosina isn't pregnant. For the team, it's a devastating blow.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Rosina isn't pregnant.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58It is really, really depressing, but what do you do?
0:22:58 > 0:23:02I'm majorly disappointed that she's not pregnant.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03It was really disappointing,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06but we have just got to look on the bright side.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10There is no reason she can't get pregnant.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14There are things we can still do and we have just got to keep trying.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17It's not the end of the road.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Robert thinks he knows why she's not got pregnant.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24If you have two females that are very close friends to each other,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27they seem to think, "We are already two,
0:23:27 > 0:23:32"we don't need more in this place. So we're happy with each other.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34"We don't need to reproduce."
0:23:34 > 0:23:40So the idea is to give them separate territories, we call it,
0:23:40 > 0:23:44so that they feel, "I'm here, I'm the boss here now. I'm all by myself.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48"I have enough space and I can get offspring and can get babies."
0:23:48 > 0:23:53Separating the females will be the next step for the team.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Try and pick everybody up
0:23:54 > 0:23:58and get things going again, but, yeah, disappointed,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00but she is still fit and healthy.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Rosina and Marashi are still young and there is plenty of time
0:24:06 > 0:24:08for them to breed.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11In the wild, female rhinos live on their own
0:24:11 > 0:24:13so hopefully the new plan will work
0:24:13 > 0:24:17and it won't be too long before baby rhinos are once again
0:24:17 > 0:24:20running around the safari park.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35We're almost at the end of another show,
0:24:35 > 0:24:39but head keeper Mark has invited us to the Chilean flamingo enclosure
0:24:39 > 0:24:42for the "one-legged challenge" before we leave.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Hiya, Mark. - Mark, tell us about this challenge.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Well, you have asked me lots of questions.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49It's time to turn the tables.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52You know what? OK. I think we've picked up a few things
0:24:52 > 0:24:55along the series so I think, "Bring it on," you know.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57We can answer some questions,
0:24:57 > 0:25:00mainly about my favourite colour and what I had for lunch.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02It's not going to be that.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06- It's going to be about the Chilean flamingos, I'm guessing?- Yes.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- So how does this work then? - OK, you have to stand on one leg.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12If you get the answer right, you are allowed to swap.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14If you get it wrong, you stay on that leg
0:25:14 > 0:25:16and you are out if you fall over.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18OK. Legs up.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23The first question, which is the tallest type of flamingo?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Beep. The greater flamingo.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29- Correct.- Yes! I swap legs.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33You swot! I can't believe that.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38How long does it take a Chilean flamingo to build its nest?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41I do know this one because I like to build things and stuff.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- Is it around six weeks?- About that.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47It will do. You are not doing well here, Johny.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- OK. I'm going to get this next one. - What's the difference
0:25:50 > 0:25:53between a flamingo that sleeps with its head on its right-hand side
0:25:53 > 0:25:58- as opposed to one that sleeps on its left-hand side?- Male or female.- No.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03- Is one right sided and one left sided?- No.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- Is it something to do with age?- No.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- Is it just more comfortable?- No.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- OK, tell us the answer.- You failed.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14The bird that sleeps with its head on the left-hand side
0:26:14 > 0:26:19- is more aggressive.- I sleep on the right, I wouldn't have known that!
0:26:19 > 0:26:21One more question.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23One more. One more.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26On the flamingo's leg, a nice long leg,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- what is the joint you can see half-way down?- Knee?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- Wrong.- Ankle.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- Correct. - Yay! So what's the score, then?
0:26:35 > 0:26:372-1 to me.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44That's a sore loser and I've got flamingo poo on me hand.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45OK, while I wash me hands,
0:26:45 > 0:26:48check out what's on the next episode of Roar. High five.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50She's going to kill me!
0:26:50 > 0:26:56Next time, if you don't like snakes, then hide behind the sofa
0:26:56 > 0:26:59because for the first time on Roar,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02we're going to see just how fast a snake can strike.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Trust me, you wouldn't want to be a mouse!
0:27:05 > 0:27:06SCREAMING
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- Oh, wow!- Oh, my goodness. It made me jump.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Most people would call in pest control
0:27:12 > 0:27:15if they had bugs in their bedroom, not keeper Graham, though.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20He has tarantulas, baboon spiders, and cockroaches.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22And our Roar Rangers meet a snappy customer
0:27:22 > 0:27:26who doesn't bother about chewing his food, he just swallows it whole!
