0:00:02 > 0:00:03Today, on Roar.
0:00:03 > 0:00:06Riley, the baby sea lion, is going in deep water for the first time.
0:00:06 > 0:00:11But he's just three days old. So, will he sink or swim?
0:00:37 > 0:00:43Hello, and welcome to Roar. I'm Rani and behind me, well, that's Johny.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47But he's been no use ever since he figured out he could cuddle a tegu.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51- Johny, Johny. Johny!- Oh, sorry. Hello, everyone.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54This is Diego the tegu. He's a good little tegu-wegu. Cudley-wudley.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Johny, stop with the cuddle and let's got on with today's show.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01- Oh, can't we just stay a little bit longer?- Johny, N-O, no.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03- Let's get on with the show. - Oh, but he loves me.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06Coming up, today.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11Genghis Khan, Attila the Hun and Vlad the Impaler.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14But are they as scary as they're cracked up to be?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Can a tapir scoff a melon whole?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21The tapir-tickling team are out to get some answers.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24When you're learning to talk rhino...
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- Rosina, move up.- ..You've got to be very careful you don't say
0:01:28 > 0:01:30the wrong thing.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32I would never, ever dream about challenging a rhino.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43On one side of the park, is Half Mile Lake
0:01:43 > 0:01:45and that's where you'll find...
0:01:47 > 0:01:50..the rowdiest gang in the place.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52The keeper in charge of them is Mark Tye.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58We've got five Californian sea lions in this lake, here.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00We've got the male, who's Buster.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03He's about 15 years old and he's a fully grown male.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05That means he's huge.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Buster is two and a half metres long
0:02:07 > 0:02:10and weighs almost a quarter of a tonne.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14That's like two big fridge freezers put together.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19Then we've got all the females. We've got Jo Jo, Nancy and Zook.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25And little two-year-old, called Jazz. They are sea lions, not seals.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27It's very different.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Sea lions have external ear flaps, which seals don't.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32They have little holes. On the side of their head.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36They can run on their flippers, whereas a seal has short,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39stumpy flippers that it can shuffle along on its tummy.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Whereas a sea lion can run and chase you.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44And can run almost as fast as you can.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50But their speed on land is nothing to what they can do in the water.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52They can swim at over 40 kilometres per hour,
0:02:52 > 0:02:55which is quicker than the fastest sprinter on earth.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03You can see from their shape, they're very streamlined
0:03:03 > 0:03:07and torpedo-like, so they can cut through the water very well.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10The main thing they use to navigate is their whiskers.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Obviously, it's quite dark and murky in the water,
0:03:13 > 0:03:15so their eyes aren't a lot of use.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18They can't see much, but they can feel vibrations in the water
0:03:18 > 0:03:21from their whiskers and use that to guide them to their fish.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24But the sea lions here get their food from the keepers.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28And for Sarah, feeding time is hardly a quiet affair.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Not with Buster about.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35He is a big, old, noisy boy, for sure.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39To be honest, he's one of the best sea lions we've got here.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43He's a really nice chap. You know, he's really kind and gentle.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Obviously, big bull sea lions can sometimes be quite manly
0:03:47 > 0:03:48and quite aggressive sometimes.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51But he's soft as anything. He really is soft as anything.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53He's a really nice character.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56He's really nice to all the girls in the lake.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57We do have some squabbles,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00but 99% of the time, they're OK with each other.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04But now, everything is about to change with the sea lions
0:04:04 > 0:04:06because one of them is pregnant.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11We are expecting a young arrival any day now, hopefully.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13That's going to be born to Zook.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16That's going to be her third pup with us,
0:04:16 > 0:04:18so fingers crossed it will come along soon.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22They've had sea lion pups here before, but not for a while.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24So, the excitement is building.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26They're incredibly cute.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29It's always nice to have little youngsters running around.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30So, I'm quite excited.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36But sea lion births are fraught with danger.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41The newborn pups can't swim, so the mothers must give birth on land.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43But that's where they're most vulnerable.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45In the wild, many pups don't survive.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49So, stick around, because very soon, we're going to see what
0:04:49 > 0:04:51happens with Zook when she has her new pup.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09You pest. And I'm not talking about Rani.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12It's so annoying when you've got flies buzzing around you,
0:05:12 > 0:05:14but we're lucky enough to be able to knock them
0:05:14 > 0:05:15off with our hands.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19What happens if you're a rhino? I'm here with keeper Adrian.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- How you doing? - I'm all right, thank you.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23You've come up with a solution to this problem.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Yes, we can put some fly repellent on them.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29That will help keep the flies, it doesn't cure the problem totally,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32but it gets most of the problem away from them.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33What's the plan, Adrian?
0:05:33 > 0:05:37We've got Rosina ready to come into this holding pen
0:05:37 > 0:05:40so we can actually work some cream around the eyes.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42And some spray across the back.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44OK, well, she we call her in then?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Yes, and I'd like you do to that, Johny.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Brilliant, well, how do I do that?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Well, we use the command, "To move up,"
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- and that's asking her to move forwards. OK?- Yeah.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56With your command, it's not actually going to be a command.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I don't want you to put no challenge in your voice.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01If you do challenge a rhino, she's going to be there,
0:06:01 > 0:06:03"I'm not going to do that for you."
0:06:03 > 0:06:05So, it's just a matter of fact.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08I would never, ever dream of challenging a rhino.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Right, OK, so how do I do it?
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- So, it's like, "Come in, Rosina"? - No, no, "Rosina, move up".
0:06:13 > 0:06:17And as soon as she does do what you've told her to do, "Good girl."
0:06:17 > 0:06:19You reward her with your voice.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24- "Good girl, well done." OK? - Yeah, I'm feeling, I'm excited.- OK?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Are we ready?- Ready. No pressure.- OK.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36- Here we go. Ready, Adrian?- Yes. - Rosina, move up. Move up, Rosina.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Good girl. Move up, Rosina.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Move up.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Good girl.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Good girl. Move up, Rosina.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Good girl.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- She's a good lass, isn't she? - Well done, Johny.- Wow.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- See, you're a trained keeper already.- That was incredible.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Oh, my gosh.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03I can speak rhino.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Adrian, this is all well and good for rhinos here at the park
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- but, in the wild, they wouldn't have insect repellent, would they?- No.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19They have some birds that help them, to do their manicuring for them.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21They have the oxpecker and the egret.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25They will help pick off the ticks. They love the ticks, these birds.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29So, they very much provide a good grooming service for them.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Well, it's incredible to have learnt how to speak rhino
0:07:33 > 0:07:36and to have put some fly repellent on a huge animal, such as this.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40This has been brilliant and I think Rosina is looking pretty fly...less.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01It's now time for Ask The Keeper and this lot are ready
0:08:01 > 0:08:03and raring to put Ross on the spot.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Now, Ross, you're going to be answering
0:08:05 > 0:08:08questions about Brazilian tapirs, just like Jessie, here.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Honestly, Ross, between me and you,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13I think these guys just want to have a go at tickling.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- Yeah. - Ask your question as well, Luke.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17What part of the world does the tapir come from?
0:08:17 > 0:08:21This is a Brazilian tapir. There are four types of different tapir.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23One of them's Malayan, one's Baird's,
0:08:23 > 0:08:25we've got Lowland and Mountain.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Most of them are brown,
0:08:26 > 0:08:30apart from the Malayan, which is black with a white stripe around it.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32What's an average weight of a baby?
0:08:32 > 0:08:37The average weight of a baby is around about 6 or 7 kilogrammes.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41How old's Jessie? Cos there's no way she's 6 or 7 kilogrammes.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43No, Jessie's about 300 kilogrammes.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46She's 14 years old and she'll live to around about 30.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Can I have another tickle?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Course you can, carry on, like you're stroking your pet.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Uh-ha-ha-ha. Why are you tickling Jessie the tapir?
0:08:54 > 0:08:55Because in the wild,
0:08:55 > 0:08:59I'm presuming you don't go along and tickle tapirs.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00- Why do you do it here?- No, no.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03We do it cos she'll stay still for us as we're tickling her.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06She'll lie down like she is now, all comfortable.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09We can check her over really well. That's the main thing.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11As she rolls over, you can see her legs, her feet.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- Just check her over properly.- Wow.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Can tapirs swim?- Yes, tapirs are very good swimmers.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19They spend half their day in the water.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22They use their nose as a small snorkel.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25If a predator, like a jaguar or a puma, is attacking them,
0:09:25 > 0:09:28they'll run straight into the deep water where the jaguar won't follow.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Cos cats don't like water.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32What food do they eat out in the wild?
0:09:32 > 0:09:36In the wild, they'll eat twigs, fruit that falls off the tree,
0:09:36 > 0:09:37things like that.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39And also they eat aquatic plants.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44Here at Longleat, we'll give them bits of fruit, some peri nuts.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Actually, Bev here has actually got a cantaloupe melon
0:09:47 > 0:09:48that we could give Jessie.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Do you cut it? Peel it?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- How we going to do this? - We'll give it to her as it is.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56They've got very strong jaws. So, she'll be able to eat that.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Take the melon. Just put it by her head.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00She's very lazy at the minute
0:10:00 > 0:10:03so she probably won't take it out your hands.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Put it down, let her know it's there.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Will she smell that through the skin?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- Yeah. They've got very good smell.- She's smelt it. She's up.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Will she eat it with the skin on? - She'll eat the lot.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14She'll eat every part of it.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Obviously, in the wild, what you can find is what you can get.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Best thing to do, they'll eat the skin and the seeds.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22They'll eat everything that's in it.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25While Jessie enjoys her snack, we're going to use our melons
0:10:25 > 0:10:29and come up with a killer question for you, Ross.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Got it? Yeah, happy? All right then, OK.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- We have a killer question for you. - Go on then.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38- You look so nervous.- I am nervous.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42We're not going to be mean to you, Ross. You've been great so far.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Go on then, Luke.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45What's the tapir's closest relative?
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Closest relative would be the rhino and the horse. Is that right?
0:10:51 > 0:10:52It's right!
0:10:52 > 0:10:56We all thought maybe it was a cross between an anteater and a pig.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58It's quite hard to tell.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00There's a lot of different traits from different animals
0:11:00 > 0:11:03that you can see. But it is the rhino and the horse.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07OK, thumbs up or thumbs down for Ross? One thumb up, two thumbs.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- Oh, we're going two. Any more, any more?- Thank you very much.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- Look at that. Take a bow.- Thank you.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Back by the lake, there's been some news.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Do you want to come with me? I've got something special to show you.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33This is Zook.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37She's a seven-year-old female Californian sea lion.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43And she's now just proudly given birth to her third baby.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Everyone's over the moon.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51But Mark needs to keep a close eye on Zook and the baby.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55The only thing is, is firstly, that the mum bonds with the baby.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Then, that they suckle.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00We've just seen, it's just rolled over
0:12:00 > 0:12:03and I've just been able to see what sex it is and it's a little boy.
0:12:03 > 0:12:08The pup's two days old and already has increased in size.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11When they're born, they're really saggy and flappy.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13And it's already filling out quite nicely.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16So, obviously suckling very well cos you can see,
0:12:16 > 0:12:18it's really nice plump and round.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21And it's two days old and if it wasn't suckling
0:12:21 > 0:12:24it would like a bit of a carrier bag with nothing in it.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Looks really good.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32She's turned out to be a model mother. She is a really good mum.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35She's obviously, she's wet at the moment so she has left it.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37She's been quite comfortable
0:12:37 > 0:12:40to leave it on its own already, which is a sign of a good mum.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42You know, normally after two days,
0:12:42 > 0:12:45they're ready to go off and do their own thing.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48But she won't leave it for long and she'll always come back.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Zook is getting some extra fish
0:12:50 > 0:12:54because feeding a baby sea lion is very demanding.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58It's mother's milk only, at this stage.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01They'll take mother's milk up to a year and then what we do is we take
0:13:01 > 0:13:05them away just before that, at about ten months, and wean them on to fish.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Up to that point, they'll just suckle from their mothers,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11take their mother's milk and that's a very fat, very rich milk,
0:13:11 > 0:13:13which is why they grow so fast.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Zook seems to be a relaxed mum, but Mark still has his concerns
0:13:20 > 0:13:23because very soon the pup will be taking his first swim.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25It's an important step,
0:13:25 > 0:13:29though it could happen on purpose or by accident.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Cos you always worry that they might fall in when the mum's not around.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36They might sit in the water for a long time panicking.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40And that could be very dangerous.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Stay tuned to see what happens
0:13:42 > 0:13:45when the pup meets the water for the very first time.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Why did the frog go to the hospital?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59To have a hop-eration.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05What's a crocodile's favourite game?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Snap.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- Twit-woo.- Twit-woo.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12What did the...? Ha-ha.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39If this is Timon. Here's Pumbaa.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41This is the warthog,
0:14:41 > 0:14:44a wild member of the pig family that comes from Africa.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50They've got three of them here at Longleat and they're brothers.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53I'm in the warthog enclosure with deputy head keeper, Ryan.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56We're about to give the warthog brothers a feed with a difference.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- Right?- Yeah, we are.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01So, what's the difference? Cos I think I know they love apple
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- and pears already. - Yeah, they love their fruit and veg,
0:15:05 > 0:15:07but normally we just scatter it around the section.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Today, we're actually going to try and bury it,
0:15:10 > 0:15:12just under a little bit of straw.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Just to encourage more of a natural behaviour
0:15:14 > 0:15:17of them foraging around and having a dig through something.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Right then, let's start burying apples and oranges.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22So just put them anywhere in the straw?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Yeah, just hide it under there.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27I haven't even looked to see if the warthogs are here.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32I'm keeping an eye out, don't worry, they're not too close as yet.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34OK, well, the fruit is in here, just one last pear.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Let's back off cos I'm presuming they don't come over
0:15:37 > 0:15:39when we're standing next to it.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42They'll probably be quite nervous about coming over.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Let's go over here and we can have a chat
0:15:44 > 0:15:47and we can wait for them.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52But we have left a mini-camera, hidden in the straw,
0:15:52 > 0:15:56to get some good close-up shots of Genghis Khan,
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Attila the Hun,
0:15:57 > 0:15:59and Vlad the Impaler.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Though, Ryan reckons the brothers don't really live up to their names.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Are they quite frightened animals?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- Or quite cautious animals, then? - Yeah, naturally they are cautious.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14I mean, they're a prey animal in the wild.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Lions, leopards,
0:16:15 > 0:16:19hyena will all prey on warthogs so they have to be careful.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- They are brothers, aren't they? - Yes, all out of the same litter.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25So, is one of them a little bit more dominant?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Cos this one seems to be bounding over to our haystack.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33Yeah, we've got Vlad and Genghis, are quite brave.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Attila's a little less nosey, but they're shy,
0:16:36 > 0:16:38yet inquisitive at the same time,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41which must be a constant struggle for an animal.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42No, it's funny, isn't it?
0:16:42 > 0:16:46They look quite aggressive, but they're not naturally like that.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- They're just defensive if you pressure them.- Look.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52They're going over to the haystack now. They're cautious of it.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54They keep giving it a little look.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56It is something different, isn't it?
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Yes, of course.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59And if you do have predators after you in the wild,
0:16:59 > 0:17:03anything that looks out of the ordinary or unusual to them,
0:17:03 > 0:17:05could be the sign of a predator.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09So, it's always really in their interest just to be cautious.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Not sure about cautious, I think these guys are more of a tease.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15They keep coming over and then running away.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17I keep getting really excited.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19The fact that they keep coming back to the same spot means that
0:17:19 > 0:17:22they're interested in what we've done.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I'm sure they can smell that fruit, there.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27They're probably just interested in the pile of straw itself
0:17:27 > 0:17:31cos it's something new for them to interact with.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Once we've probably moved away a little bit further,
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I'm sure they'll be all over it like a rash.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38So, on that note, shall we get out of here, then,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- and give these guys some peace? - Lovely.- Thank you.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51There are loads of great games on the CBBC website, but there's
0:17:51 > 0:17:55only one that lets you run your very own wild animal park, the Roar game.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Now, make a note of this.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02That's today's cheat code.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05If you're a regular player, you'll know what to do with it.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07If you aren't, it's time you found out.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Get along there and check it out.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Happy gaming!
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Down in the Animal Adventure area,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23there are all sorts of unusual species.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27But they also have some that are often kept as pets.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31And those animals need just as much looking after as
0:18:31 > 0:18:32the most exotic ones.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Aah, there's nothing like a good scrub in the tub
0:18:40 > 0:18:41to make you feel good.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45And there's one animal, here at the park, that needs it more than most.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48I've popped over to meet keeper Jo, to find out what it is.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Hello, Jo.- Hi.- How you doing? - All right.- Who've we got here?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Right, we've got Sherman, who's the exceptionally large tortoise.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56And we've got little Julie, here.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Are they are a particular type of tortoise?
0:18:59 > 0:19:03These are Spur-thighed tortoises. If someone's got a tortoise as pet,
0:19:03 > 0:19:06you'll normally find that, nine times out ten,
0:19:06 > 0:19:08that it'll either be a Herman's or a Spur-thighed.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11The reason why they're called Spur-thighed is,
0:19:11 > 0:19:13on the back of their legs, they've got these spurs.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16What are we going to be doing with what's her name again?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- Julie.- Julie, beautiful Julie.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Right, well, basically tortoises have to have a scrub.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23You have to scrub the shell.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Their shell is made very much like our skin.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- So, it's made up of thousands of pores. It breaths.- Wow.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31So, sometimes, if they're in the garden
0:19:31 > 0:19:34and they're having a good, old stroll about, they get a bit muddy.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37OK, well, I'm going to help you give these guys a clean, then.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- Shall I take Sherman, here? - Yeah, she's pretty heavy.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- So you've got to be quite careful with them then?- Yeah.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Shall I pop her in here?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48All you've got to do is just tilt her upwards.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- OK, yeah. - You'll have to cos she's big.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54And then, just, kind of, don't drop her totally in,
0:19:54 > 0:19:55but hold her up a bit at the front.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- OK, like that. - And then you get your brush.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- Yeah.- That's it and give them a little, light scrub.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- Pretty gently, OK.- Yeah.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I mean, out in the wild, would they spend much time,
0:20:05 > 0:20:07sort of, around the water?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Yeah, I mean, they would come across water.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12They do, they don't like going for a swim or anything like that.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17They can't swim. But they will sit, sometimes, in the water.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I'm not sure Sherman really suits her, Jo. Why Sherman?
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Well, do you know what,
0:20:21 > 0:20:24a lot of the time, a lot of people get the sex of their tortoise wrong.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29I think the keepers that used to have Sherman thought that she was a boy.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- But she's not, she's a girl. - Poor Sherman.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Am I doing all right, there?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Because I've never bathed a tortoise before.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40You're doing a grand job, it's nice and shiny,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43you've got all the mud off. You've done a great job.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- So, all done?- Yup, all done.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47People have tortoises at home,
0:20:47 > 0:20:50would you recommend that they bathe their tortoise regularly?
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Absolutely, especially when they're outside in the summer time,
0:20:54 > 0:20:55in the mud.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57They can't soak in the rays from the sun and the heat,
0:20:57 > 0:21:02if they've got clogged pores. You always need to give them a scrub.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03Apart from scrubbing.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Three top tips for all the people watching at home
0:21:06 > 0:21:07who have a tortoise.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Right, OK. Steer really clear of tomato and lettuce for feeding.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14It's absolutely no good. It's all water.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18They need weeds, dandelions, thistles.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Give them a good scrub, like I just said.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22And the cuttlefish.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Get some cuttlefish, from a pet shop.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Really important for the shell, the calcium.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30You can grate it on their food or just leave it on the lawn for them,
0:21:30 > 0:21:32so they can have a nibble.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Brilliant. Well, top tips there, Jo, thank you very much.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38I think Sherman's done with her bath time and I think, now,
0:21:38 > 0:21:39I need my bath time.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42- I really do. Thanks, Jo.- Bye.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Back at Half Mile Lake, Zook's little pup is now three days old.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01And Mark has given him a name.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03We've decided to call him Riley.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Irish name from an Irish mother sea lion.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08So, that's how he came that name.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Riley was born on land and he's never been in the water.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17Even for a sea lion, learning to swim can be a difficult time.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18The first plunge is a big moment.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Most of the time, that's normally by accident.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Sea lions are very inquisitive.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30So, they normally walk to the edge of the beach and slip in.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33So, I think this one's already had a little look around.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35It's quite wet around its head.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38It's obviously gone and stuck its nose in the water.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40It's probably only a matter of time
0:22:40 > 0:22:42before it actually makes that dreaded slip in.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Riley just isn't sure about the water.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53It looks like he wants to take the plunge, but has he got the bottle?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Good move. He's gone for the shallow bit first.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13And just a quick splash into deeper water.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16It's instinctive to flap your flippers in the water,
0:23:16 > 0:23:20sometimes it's not instinctive to shut your nose and close your mouth.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22And they do have to learn that a little bit.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Sometimes you hear them coughing and spluttering,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27where they've ingested a bit of water.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Now, he's getting used to the water and he's ready for the deep end.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40And within minutes, he's done a length of the beach.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Well, that was his first swim, there. And, I mean, that's great.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46It can really get on.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49You can see, it's almost instinctive. Flap flippers.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51That's what they're there for.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53They work really well in the water.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Not too bad on land, but much better in the water.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59And you can see, he's up and down the beach, no problem at all.
0:23:59 > 0:24:05In fact, Riley has taken to swimming like, well, a sea lion to water.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Lovely to see a new pup on the lake, like this.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10This is what we have the group here for.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12We've got the big male, Buster, and all the females.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15It's nice to see them breed and have healthy offspring.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20But now, Riley is only three days old and he's got a long way to go.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22We'll catch up with him later in the series.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33It's almost the end of the show, but before we go,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Rani, I've got a bone to pick with you.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Funny that, Johny, I've got a bone to pick with you.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Oh, yeah, and what's that then?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45You two, I've got a lot of bones you can pick with me.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Shall we go? You'll need these.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- We've got to go and pick up the wolves' breakfast.- Ooh.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51Fair enough.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Last time on Roar, I helped Bob put the meat out
0:24:57 > 0:24:59for the park's pack of wolves.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01And when they got stuck in, you could see
0:25:01 > 0:25:03there wasn't going to be much left.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Look at the size of that!
0:25:07 > 0:25:09When I give bones to my dogs at home, they eat them.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Why haven't they eaten the bones?
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Well what they've done, is they've scooped all the meat off them.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16They chew on them to clean their teeth.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19If you look down here, they take all the marrow bone out.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- It smells really bad! - It's not the best smell in the world.
0:25:23 > 0:25:28- Oh, don't, don't, it stinks! - Oh, yeah. Why did I do that?
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- So, they don't eat the bones. - They don't eat the bones.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34They crunch them up into small bits, to get to the marrow bone inside.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37And so, where are the wolves now? Just to be clear.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40There, they are, just in the background. Keeping an eye on us.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Can I just point this bone out, it's absolutely massive.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47This is something that Johny'd be working out with in the gym.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48I don't know.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- Has one wolf eaten all the meat off this?- Probably, yes.- Wow.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54How often do they get fed? Cos this is quite a lot of meat.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57We try to mimic the wild as much as possible and feed them
0:25:57 > 0:25:59two or three times a week.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01We can supplement that with other things.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03What happens when wolves are hungry?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Do they start circling, or anything like that?
0:26:05 > 0:26:06Just to make sure.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10When they're hungry, they will, sort of, sneak up on their prey
0:26:10 > 0:26:14and the hardest thing is to obviously get their prey to move.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Cos it's a lot bigger than them.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19You think that the bison, big deer, elk, moose.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22The hardest thing is to get them to move.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Once they've got them moving, they'll wear them down,
0:26:25 > 0:26:27they'll exhaust them, then they'll kill them.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- And then eat them. - And are they hunting in packs?
0:26:30 > 0:26:35They always hunt in packs. You very rarely find a lone wolf hunting.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Bob, you had a bone to pick with us and I think we're all done.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41There's only one last thing to do. Rani, fetch.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42I'll give you fetch.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Well, that's bye from us.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Why don't you check out what's on the next episode of Roar.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- Johny.- Shall I go get my bone?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Next time on Roar.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58The keepers must rescue three baby otters to save their lives,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01but they're only hours old and their chances are looking thin.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08The Roar rangers are tackling the rhinos.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11But can they cope with that much poo?
0:27:11 > 0:27:15And there's a prickly situation when we discover the porcupine
0:27:15 > 0:27:17has more deadly weapons than just the quills.
0:27:17 > 0:27:22Goodness, he's got massive teeth! He's got big, long teeth!
0:27:23 > 0:27:24So, see you next time.
