0:00:03 > 0:00:06Today on Roar, there's an emergency with the otters.
0:00:06 > 0:00:11The keepers must rescue three tiny babies to save their lives.
0:00:11 > 0:00:16But they're only hours old, and their chances are looking thin.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Hello, and welcome to Roar! I'm Johny.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48I'm Rani, and I'm trying to get higher than Johny,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50but his hair's just too high!
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Come on, put your thighs into it!
0:00:52 > 0:00:54We should jump start the show!
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Come on, let's jump out of here!
0:00:56 > 0:00:59'Coming up today, the marmosets are after my gum,
0:00:59 > 0:01:04'but it's not going to make their breath any better.'
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Oh! Wow!
0:01:06 > 0:01:09The Roar Rangers are tackling the rhinos,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12but can they cope with that much poo?
0:01:15 > 0:01:19And there's a prickly situation when we discover that porcupines have
0:01:19 > 0:01:21more deadly weapons than just their quills.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25He's got massive teeth! He's got big, long teeth!
0:01:31 > 0:01:35But first, we're heading for the Animal Adventure area,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37because there's a crisis with the otters.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42When the keepers came in this morning, they were surprised
0:01:42 > 0:01:47to hear the sound of baby otters crying from inside their house.
0:01:49 > 0:01:55Normally, any new babies are a cause for celebration, but not this time.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59For Darren, the keeper in charge of them, it's an emergency.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06In the past, Rosie and Romeo have been brilliant parents,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08but now there's a serious problem,
0:02:08 > 0:02:10because the last two litters they had all died.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16The reason may be that Rosie no longer produces enough milk
0:02:16 > 0:02:18to keep her babies alive.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22When a baby animal is first born, including human beings,
0:02:22 > 0:02:27their mums produce milk to feed them, and the very first milk
0:02:27 > 0:02:30they have is a special thick, creamy milk that makes them strong.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32That milk is called colostrum.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34If they don't get that, they can be very weak,
0:02:34 > 0:02:38and they can get infections and get poorly and die.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40That's what'll happen to the new pups
0:02:40 > 0:02:44unless the keepers take drastic action right now.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48To save the babies' lives, they must be hand-reared.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51But first, Darren must get them out of the nest,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53and that's not going to be easy.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Mum and Dad won't be appreciative of this.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01They don't understand it'll save the babies' lives.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03We'll block Dad with pieces of board,
0:03:03 > 0:03:05to stop him getting back to me.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08I think Mum, for safety, I've got to try and keep her out of the way.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Please, please remember, if you haven't got a glove on,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15you're in big trouble, all right? So keep all your soft digits
0:03:15 > 0:03:19and your parts out of their way, all right? They are quite dangerous.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21To follow the action,
0:03:21 > 0:03:25we've kitted Darren out with a special hands-free keeper cam.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Hello.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Rosie and Romeo are in there, barking and growling,
0:03:35 > 0:03:39but they don't understand that this is a last resort.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42If Darren didn't take the babies away, they would die.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50- That's one. - Getting the other one as well.
0:04:00 > 0:04:06That's two. But there's still one more, right at the back of the nest.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14That's the third and last one out.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19The youngsters will be reintroduced to their parents when they're older.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24But for now, the keepers must take over all the work of Mum and Dad.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28It's going to be very interesting. I saw one thin one already.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31They've got the energy, cos they've just been born,
0:04:31 > 0:04:33but have they had a decent feed yet?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36If not, we can give them some colostrum ourselves.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39We can have baby otters at the end that are going to
0:04:39 > 0:04:43grow on and probably be just as noisy and just as violent as those!
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Now the babies desperately need that special milk,
0:04:48 > 0:04:52but will they take it from the keepers?
0:04:52 > 0:04:56If they don't feed, in a matter of hours they could be dead.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57So don't go away.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Keeper Jon has asked me to meet the marmosets to give them some gum.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Personally, I think he's lost the plot! Hiya, Jon.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20How you doing? I've brought my gum. There you go, little marmoset.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- It's not that type of gum, Johny. - He went for it.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27They've got bad breath, but I don't think that's going to do him good.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- OK, what kind of gum are you talking about?- It's actually tree sap.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33So, gum that you get from trees.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I don't think this going to do your breath any good.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Let's have a smell.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- Go on, have a little whiff.- Oh! Wow! And that comes from a tree?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44It's actually artificial sap. We don't go raiding the trees ourself.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47That would take quite a long time, I think!
0:05:47 > 0:05:50It's a pre-mixed gum which we give to the marmosets.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52So we're going to do it now. There's a log behind you
0:05:52 > 0:05:55which has got an eager marmoset waiting.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57So all we're going to do is, using this syringe,
0:05:57 > 0:05:59just get a little bit in there.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01You can see there's a few holes drilled into the log there.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Just going to put a bit in. I don't know if you want to have a go?- OK.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08So first things first, why are we putting it in the holes?
0:06:08 > 0:06:12And, I guess, secondly, why gum?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14In the wild, these guys live in the rainforest.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Look at that, pretty eager.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19So they would eat a lot of fruit and seeds and things like that.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22But they also chew the bark off trees.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25You can see what they've done to this old rotten log here.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27They chew it to get the sap out of the tree.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30It gives them lots of nutrition, it gives them
0:06:30 > 0:06:34a lot of the things that they need in the wild.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37And also, a lot of people think that these guys are quite cute,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- but I think they're not. - Oh, they're quite cute!
0:06:40 > 0:06:42They've actually got a bit of a dental issue,
0:06:42 > 0:06:46if you look. They've actually got a bit of a sticky-out bottom jaw.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49They actually use that for scraping off the bark from the trees.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Cos the sap is deep inside the branch of the tree,
0:06:51 > 0:06:54and they actually use their bottom jaw to scrape at the bark.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58That gives off the bottom layers, they can get to the sweet gum inside.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- So who've we got here, then? How many have we got?- There's three.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05We've got a nice little family here. We've got Mike, Mandu and Michelle.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Mike and Michelle are the mum and dad,
0:07:07 > 0:07:09and Mandu is the little youngster.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11This is the little youngster.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13I was just about to ask,
0:07:13 > 0:07:16would the youngster be up for having the sap as well?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Without a doubt. They're all tucking in.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20I say young, she's a couple of years old,
0:07:20 > 0:07:24so not actually as young as she once was.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28As much fun as it's been giving these beautiful little marmosets
0:07:28 > 0:07:32their gum, I think I'm going to stick to the nice old minty variety.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Where do fish go on holiday?
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Fin-land!
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- ALL:- Ruff ruff ruff! Ruff ruff ruff!
0:07:53 > 0:07:56How do you take a pig to hospital?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58In a ham-bulance!
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Ah, ah, ah!
0:08:00 > 0:08:02What do you get when you cross a skunk and a bear?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- I don't know.- Winnie the Poo!
0:08:05 > 0:08:10THEY LAUGH
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Back in Animal Adventure,
0:08:15 > 0:08:19it's a critical time for the three baby otters.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22They're only a few hours old. If they're going to live,
0:08:22 > 0:08:24they need food, and they need it fast.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30There's only one person experienced enough to save them,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33deputy head of section Bev Allen.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Over the years, she's been mum to several abandoned baby animals,
0:08:38 > 0:08:42like this little wallaby, whose mother sadly died.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46So, Bev is the park's super mum,
0:08:46 > 0:08:50and the fate of the newborn otters is in her hands.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54I'm just about to prepare some milk for the little baby otters,
0:08:54 > 0:08:58then hopefully try and get them used to taking the milk from a syringe.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00They're now several hours old.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04They haven't had any milk yet, and they're fading fast.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10The milk is in a syringe, but it can't be injected.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13The baby must open its mouth and drink.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Success, and in the nick of time!
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Just like puppies, baby otters are born blind.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46It'll be over a month before they open their eyes.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54The milk Bev's giving them is specially made for kittens,
0:09:54 > 0:09:55but it works for otters too.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04The crucial first feed has gone well, but it's going to be
0:10:04 > 0:10:07a long battle before the youngsters are really safe.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10I'm just going to clean them up a bit now, because they've got
0:10:10 > 0:10:14a bit of milk around their mouths, so I'll just clean their mouth.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19Cos Mum would do this, or Dad would do this, clean them up afterwards.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23And with the babies clean at one end,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Bev needs to look after the other end too.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Usually after you feed any baby animal, usually Mum would actually
0:10:30 > 0:10:33try and lick them down below to try and get them to go to the toilet.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38So you have to gently just rub.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42And see if they go to the toilet.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Ugh, rather you than me, Bev!
0:10:46 > 0:10:49It's making sure everything's passing through,
0:10:49 > 0:10:50basically.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Because they need the stimulant of Mum doing this,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56cos they're just too young, and can't do it on their own.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01Eventually, they will be able to go to the toilet on their own.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I haven't named them yet. We don't like to name things
0:11:05 > 0:11:08until they're at least over a week old.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12We like to make sure they'll do OK. Otherwise, when you name them,
0:11:12 > 0:11:17it becomes a bit more personal, you really get personalities for them.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20So the next 24 hours is crucial, basically.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24It's crucial to get them feeding well and get as much fluids into them.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29So hopefully, tomorrow they'll be doing really well, and really strong.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35From now on, Bev must feed, clean and care for the three babies
0:11:35 > 0:11:39around the clock, but that's no guarantee that they'll survive.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42In fact, out in the wild, the smallest baby of the litter
0:11:42 > 0:11:45sometimes dies within the first few days,
0:11:45 > 0:11:49so we'll be back with them later to see what happens here.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03Today, there are two Roar Rangers, George and Nicole.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07And like many brothers and sisters, they're a bit competitive.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I'm going to be a better Roar Ranger because I'm crazy about animals
0:12:10 > 0:12:12and my sister isn't.
0:12:12 > 0:12:18I am a better Roar Ranger than George because he terrifies animals.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Both George and Nicole are experienced with animals.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25At home, they have Angel the hamster,
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Eddie the dog and Socks the cat.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Will they get something small and easy like them?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32The answer is in the envelope.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38"George and Nicole, today you're going to be rhino keepers."
0:12:38 > 0:12:42I'm off the scale to do rhino keeping. It's absolutely amazing.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47It does sound good, but what does rhino keeping actually involve?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50The Roar Rangers are about to find out.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Hello, how are you doing? I'm Andy.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- And we are going to go and shovel some rhino poo.- Nice(!)
0:12:57 > 0:12:59That's a nice treat, innit(!)
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Yes, it's poo time!
0:13:05 > 0:13:09And the bigger the animal, the more poo it makes.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14Here at the park, they have the biggest kind - white rhinos.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17In the wild, they live in southern Africa.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21The species has been threatened by hunting, and now they're very rare.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26So Andy's right, it is a treat to get close to them,
0:13:26 > 0:13:28even if that does mean picking up poo.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33- Right, this is Marashi. What do you reckon, then?- She's very big.- Cool.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- Do you want to take her home when we've finished?- No!- No?!
0:13:36 > 0:13:37She would trash the place!
0:13:37 > 0:13:39She would! She's quite nice.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42She's a bit overexcited, cos we're all here.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44So, she's a white rhino.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- Do you know the difference between black and white rhinos?- The lips.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Marashi is a grazer, so she'll be out and she'll eat grass.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55So that big, wide lip lawnmows grass up,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58and a black rhino is a browser, so they'll go out in thick bush,
0:13:58 > 0:14:02and they'll actually eat from bushes and trees and stuff.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05The black rhino is much smaller than the white rhino,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08and has a prehensile front lip.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13That means they can grab and pull leaves and twigs into their mouths.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19The white rhino has flat, square lips, because they just eat grass.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Hopefully one day we'll have babies out of Marashi,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25which'll be really cool, because baby rhinos are amazing.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Baby rhinos, when you look, they are born almost with adult-sized feet
0:14:29 > 0:14:31and adult-sized ears, and they grow into them.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33The most bizarre things you've ever seen.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36They're really, really cute.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41When they're born, baby rhinos weigh around 65 kilograms.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45That's about the same as both our Roar Rangers put together.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- So, shall we put Marashi to bed?- Yeah.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- And then we can do some of the dirty work.- No!- Yeah!
0:14:51 > 0:14:55I'm sorry, that's the way it goes! If you want to be an animal keeper,
0:14:55 > 0:14:59you've got to do the dirty stuff and not just the good stuff!
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Marashi is ready for bed, which is just as well,
0:15:03 > 0:15:08because at over two tons, she could make a lot of trouble.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14- Do you go to bed that well?- Erm...- Or do you fight it a little bit more?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Look, she's gone!
0:15:17 > 0:15:21That was easy, but don't go away,
0:15:21 > 0:15:24because soon we'll find out what George and Nicole are made of
0:15:24 > 0:15:30when they have to tackle some truly monstrous piles of dung!
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Out in the park, there's a 65-acre area
0:15:37 > 0:15:41where they keep almost a dozen different species all together.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Amongst them, one of the rarest animals in the world,
0:15:43 > 0:15:45a Pere David's deer.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Rani had never heard of them, let alone seen any,
0:15:49 > 0:15:54so she was very keen to join keeper Tim to try and track them down.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Now, Tim, I'm going to help point them out now. Is that them?
0:15:58 > 0:16:02There they are, the deer with the humps on their back! Is that them?
0:16:02 > 0:16:07- Rani, it's not, it's the camels. - Don't worry, Tim, they're camels.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11OK, there on its own, lonely, Pere David's deer, all alone.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15- It's a rhino. It's a rhino. - It's OK, it's a rhino.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17OK, so they're the camels.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22Ah, there in the distance, the Pere David's deer. Elusive, alone.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26I'm going to disappoint you again. These are the scimitar-horned oryx.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29So is it the case that we don't actually have
0:16:29 > 0:16:33any Pere David's deer in this park? Is this the problem?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- Well, it would seem that way, but we have.- Where are they then?!
0:16:36 > 0:16:37There are eight somewhere.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42OK, we need to get on this mission and find these Pere David's deer,
0:16:42 > 0:16:46so we're going to wheel our way up here.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51In the centre there, lying on the grass, maybe lonely,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54light-brown coloured, in the misty sun?
0:16:54 > 0:16:59- Could they possibly be?- You've got it right this time. Well done.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02What is so special about the Pere David's deer?
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Because people are going to say, "Oh, deer, we see them
0:17:05 > 0:17:06"running round parks, whatever."
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Are these special, these deer?
0:17:09 > 0:17:14Well, I think, Rani, they are very special, and the reason for that,
0:17:14 > 0:17:18really, is that they almost became extinct, this species.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22And they're not actually a species that you will see
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- in a huge number of parks.- Right.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28We're privileged to have a small number of deer here in the park.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30It seems like a really strange thing to hear,
0:17:30 > 0:17:33deer becoming extinct. What was the reason?
0:17:33 > 0:17:38Excessive hunting was the main reason as to why this species almost
0:17:38 > 0:17:40became extinct, and it really did,
0:17:40 > 0:17:45it literally got down to 20 or 30 animals, I think, at one stage.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46- Wow.- It was that bad.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49OK, that's in the past tense, which is really good to hear,
0:17:49 > 0:17:50cos you said nearly extinct.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53What's the situation now?
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Well, thanks largely to the 11th Duke of Bedford,
0:17:57 > 0:18:03who collected some of the remaining animals from zoological
0:18:03 > 0:18:07societies around Europe, he brought them back to Woburn Abbey,
0:18:07 > 0:18:12his country seat there, and he has wonderful parkland,
0:18:12 > 0:18:15with vast lakes and such.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18These animals, incidentally, where they come from, in China,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20they come from flooded plain.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Certainly at certain times of year they're in flood plain.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31So he had all these lovely lagoons at Woburn,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33and they really flourished there.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36And he built the numbers way back up.
0:18:36 > 0:18:42And since that time, there have been reintroductions back to China,
0:18:42 > 0:18:48back to the area of China where the species lived, and we were fortunate
0:18:48 > 0:18:52to be one of the collections to have sent some animals there.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55It's been a privilege for us to see these guys.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Our mission continues. We've found the Pere David's deer -
0:18:57 > 0:19:01how about the lesser-spotted three-legged horned deer?
0:19:01 > 0:19:02That-away, I think!
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Move it out, please!
0:19:17 > 0:19:21If you've been playing the Roar online game on the CBBC website,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24you'll want to make a note of this.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27wind4 - that's today's cheat code.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29While you're on the site, check out Feeding Time
0:19:29 > 0:19:33and have a look at our great animal feeding videos too.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35See you there later!
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Back with the baby otters, it's now been almost a week
0:19:43 > 0:19:46since the keepers had to save the three newborn pups.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50The park super mum Bev has been looking after them day and night.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55But despite all her expert help, sadly the smallest one has died.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03I went to give its feed at 3:30 in the morning,
0:20:03 > 0:20:07and when I came back at 5:30 to feed it, sadly it passed away.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12It was quite small, it did seem a bit weak compared to the other two,
0:20:12 > 0:20:17so we were a bit concerned and we did give her extra fluids as well
0:20:17 > 0:20:22as the milk to try and get her going, but sadly she didn't make it.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26It's always sad when an animal dies, but thankfully,
0:20:26 > 0:20:29the other two are still fighting for life.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33They're taking a lot more milk now, which is brilliant,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36cos they only used to take one syringe to begin with,
0:20:36 > 0:20:40and now they're taking three at most feeds, so it's good news.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44We have to weigh them, just to make sure they are putting
0:20:44 > 0:20:49the weight on, and they are, so it's working out really well.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54They seem very strong. Very vocal, as you can hear, which is brilliant.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59We actually have a girl and a boy. This is the boy.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01The brother and sister seem to be all right,
0:21:01 > 0:21:04but at the park, the keepers don't give the babies names
0:21:04 > 0:21:06until they're sure they're going to survive.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09I think we're going to give it another
0:21:09 > 0:21:12couple of days before we actually think of any names.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15It's been about six days now that they've been doing well,
0:21:15 > 0:21:18but we'll leave it a little bit longer, see how they go.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23So far, so good, but it's still early days.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26We'll be back later in the series to see what happens to
0:21:26 > 0:21:29the baby otters and find out if they ever get names.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47So far, our Roar Rangers George and Nicole have had
0:21:47 > 0:21:51an easy time helping Andy with the rhinos.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54But now, that's about to change!
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- Right. Guess what. - Poo time.- Poo time!
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Couldn't have put it better! Right, who's driving the wheelbarrow?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06That means you're shovelling, Nicole!
0:22:06 > 0:22:09That was a bad choice, wasn't it?!
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Wheelbarrow, shovel -
0:22:11 > 0:22:16you can see we're not talking about a little light poop scooping here!
0:22:16 > 0:22:19And with Andy in charge, it's got to be done properly.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22If this isn't done really, really well,
0:22:22 > 0:22:26then the next part of your day, it's not going to happen, is it?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Hard boss, aren't I?!
0:22:28 > 0:22:29It smells of fish oil.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33It smells really strong, actually.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Yeah, it is really strong, isn't it?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39That in there, and I want to see you shovelling!
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Come on, Nicole, you can do it!
0:22:43 > 0:22:45I'll just stand and shout encouragement!
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Yeah, you're doing well, kids.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Lovely. Look at that. Natural, you're born to it, George!
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- NICOLE:- He is, I'm not!
0:22:54 > 0:22:58You're going to have massive muscles by the end of the day, Nicole.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00If you get some on the shovel!
0:23:02 > 0:23:05That's one pile done, but there's more. Lots more.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- NICOLE:- That one looks worse!
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Come on, in the wheelbarrow!
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Nicole, are you going to get that one on there?!
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- That's a biggie! - That one's heavy!- Go on!
0:23:17 > 0:23:22- She's getting a bit braver with the poo.- She's getting good now.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- You're very professional at this! - I've done it a long, long time!
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Nobody can shovel poo like me!
0:23:29 > 0:23:31George was a better poo shoveller.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Actually, Andy was the best, though.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Right, so as you guys have worked so hard,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41shall we go up into the field and get Njani and Rosina,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43bring them into bed with the Land Rover?
0:23:43 > 0:23:44- Yeah.- Got a driving licence?!
0:23:48 > 0:23:52The other two rhinos here are Njani, the male, and Rosina, the female.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- OK, kids, let's put the rhinos to bed, shall we?- Yeah.- Yeah?
0:24:05 > 0:24:09The rhinos spend all day out of the park, but in the evening,
0:24:09 > 0:24:12they need to come back in to the nice, warm rhino house.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17The keepers use the tractors and safari trucks to guide them
0:24:17 > 0:24:20back the right way to the house.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Come on!
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- So what do you reckon, then, kids? GEORGE:- Yeah.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Still want to be a rhino man, then, George? What about you? Yeah?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- As long as you don't have to shovel any poo up?- Don't mind.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45You don't mind!
0:24:45 > 0:24:49With all three in the house, for the rhinos it's the end of the day.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52So, it's time for the Roar Rangers to head off too.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54It was absolutely brilliant.
0:24:54 > 0:24:59It was the best experience of my life, the best day of my life.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01I just hope I can do it again one day.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Everything was great, even mucking up the poo.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07I made it sound difficult because it was.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- BOTH:- Rhinos rule!
0:25:28 > 0:25:31It's almost the end of the show, but before we leave you,
0:25:31 > 0:25:35we thought we'd meet the animal capable of producing these things!
0:25:35 > 0:25:39- Yes, it's the prickly porcupine. Hiya.- Hi.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44I did have one of those quills, but I can't figure out where it's gone!
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Very practical!
0:25:45 > 0:25:48But obviously they don't use quills just to put their hair up!
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Not at all. These quills, as you can see, are lethal weapons.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56They can take down lions and hyenas in Africa. So they are quite spiky.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58They are incredibly spiky, and very hard,
0:25:58 > 0:26:00like pieces of wood, aren't they?
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- What are they made of?- They're made like our fingernails, keratin.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06I've got to ask this.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09You're saying they can take down lions, hyenas -
0:26:09 > 0:26:12you're there right next to them! Are you safe?
0:26:12 > 0:26:16I am safe, yeah, it's just literally because these guys know me.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19They know my voice, so they know that I'm no threat.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22They can probably smell this food I've got for them!
0:26:22 > 0:26:25We should feed them, keep them on our side!
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- Shall we do that?- Shall we help you with that?- Yeah, of course you can.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33What to do, guys, is just take... They love their apples.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36If you take it, and you can hand feed Brussel here.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37- That's amazing!- Brussel!
0:26:37 > 0:26:41All right! Here we go, Brussel. Oh, my goodness, he's got massive teeth!
0:26:41 > 0:26:46He's got big, long teeth! I've never seen a porcupine before!
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- Their teeth are absolutely incredible.- They're yellow!
0:26:48 > 0:26:51They are yellow! Why are they yellow?
0:26:51 > 0:26:56- It's just basically because they don't use a toothbrush.- Ah!
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Next time we meet the porcupines, you brush Brussel's teeth,
0:26:59 > 0:27:01and I'll brush Sprout's!
0:27:01 > 0:27:03I'll pick my teeth with this thing!
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Check out what's coming up on the next episode of Roar.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh!
0:27:09 > 0:27:13The pink flamingos have been destroying each other's eggs.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17To save them, the keeper will swap their eggs for wooden ones.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19But will the birds be fooled?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22I'll be ferreting out some new furry friends.
0:27:24 > 0:27:30- And the keeper's in trouble... - Oh, no! That's really hard!
0:27:30 > 0:27:34..cos the Killer Question's got a sting in the tail.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35So, don't miss it.
