0:00:02 > 0:00:04- Get ready to roar... - TIGER ROARS
0:00:04 > 0:00:08..because we're back for a brand new series
0:00:08 > 0:00:10of wildlife, fun and animal action.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15And, today, standby to meet the biggest celebrity in Britain,
0:00:15 > 0:00:18because Anne the elephant is moving in.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21THEME MUSIC
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Hello and welcome to a brand new series of Roar. I'm Johny.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50And I'm Rani. We are back at Longleat Safari Park
0:00:50 > 0:00:54for what promises to be the biggest and best series of Roar ever.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Oh, yeah! Not only are there brand new animals,
0:00:57 > 0:00:59brand new keepers and brand new enclosures,
0:00:59 > 0:01:02but there are brand new sections for us to check out, like this!
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Yes, this is Monkey Temple,
0:01:04 > 0:01:08where these guys, the marmosets, love nothing better than causing
0:01:08 > 0:01:11all sorts of mischief and running across these ropes.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15They are wicked animals, but if we are going to see all the newcomers
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- we had better get on with the all new series.- Agreed.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24We've got amazing stories and great animal encounters
0:01:24 > 0:01:27lined up for every show
0:01:27 > 0:01:30and it's going to be a bumper series for new babies too.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33But here's what's coming up today.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38There's meerkat mayhem when the mob starts to party.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43- The Roar Rangers must face pygmy goat peril.- Arrgh!
0:01:43 > 0:01:47And the new birds are small, beautiful and scary...
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Darren, and I'm OK?
0:01:49 > 0:01:51..when they go into a feeding frenzy.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01But we're starting with the dramatic story of Anne,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03probably the oldest elephant in Europe
0:02:03 > 0:02:07and the most famous in Britain.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11No-one knows exactly how old she is, but they think Anne is 58.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15She's the last circus elephant in the country,
0:02:15 > 0:02:19having spent nearly 50 years performing in the ring.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24Watching wild animals do tricks at circuses like this one from 1979
0:02:24 > 0:02:26used to be very popular
0:02:26 > 0:02:30but, these days, most people feel it's no longer acceptable
0:02:30 > 0:02:34and this kind of show is now widely banned.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38In fact, Anne retired from performing a few years ago
0:02:38 > 0:02:40because she was getting old,
0:02:40 > 0:02:44though she continued to live at the circus.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46What happened to her next was shocking
0:02:46 > 0:02:49and you may find these images upsetting.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52An animal rights group secretly filmed a man
0:02:52 > 0:02:56who was hired to look after Anne hitting and kicking her.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01The images caused an outcry in the press and on the news.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07CCTV pictures of Anne the elephant being badly treated
0:03:07 > 0:03:10at a circus in Northamptonshire were hard to watch.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Soon, there was a campaign to find Anna a new home.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Somewhere she could live out the rest of her life
0:03:18 > 0:03:20in comfort and safety.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25And that's when Longleat Safari Park stepped in.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28They don't keep elephants now, but they used to,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31and they still have the facilities to offer Anne
0:03:31 > 0:03:33a loving retirement home.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Jon Cracknell is the new head of the safari park.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40We wanted to offer the beautiful surrounding countryside,
0:03:40 > 0:03:42and the fact she can do what she wants, when she wants.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46But they didn't just have the facilities,
0:03:46 > 0:03:48they also had the expertise,
0:03:48 > 0:03:52with two of the most experienced elephant keepers in the country,
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Andy Hayton and Ryan Hockley.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59It's been a few years since they last looked after elephants,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02but elephant keepers never forget(!)
0:04:02 > 0:04:04They are just spectacular.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08There's nothing that compares to an elephant.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12You can work hands-on with them. You can make a difference to their day.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15In fact, the keepers are going to make a difference to Anne's life
0:04:15 > 0:04:17when she comes to live in the park.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23Moving Day, and this could be tricky.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Anne is quite elderly and she does away almost four tonnes.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32They've had to get one of the biggest animal transporters
0:04:32 > 0:04:35in Britain, and they set off with a police escort
0:04:35 > 0:04:38to make sure the journey goes smoothly.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45It takes five hours to reach the park,
0:04:45 > 0:04:50where the first problem is to get her safely out of the transporter.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57A whole team of keepers are standing by to help
0:04:57 > 0:05:00because, after the stress of the journey,
0:05:00 > 0:05:04no-one knows how she'll react to this new place.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11But Anne takes it all in her stride.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15She's a seasoned traveller. She's been to Paris, to Germany.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18She's seen the world already so she's quite used to it.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20We're just lucky that Anne is who she is.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Another elephant, and it might have been a different scenario.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Having lived so long in the circus and survived such cruel treatment,
0:05:27 > 0:05:32will Anne be able to enjoy her new life in the park?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Later on, we're going to find out.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- ALL:- Did you know?
0:05:40 > 0:05:44A giant anteater can eat up to 30,000 ants a day.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49How many is that? If every ant was a baked bean,
0:05:49 > 0:05:53that would be like you eating 65 tins.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55BURP
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- ALL:- Now you know!
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Now, exciting stuff today. I'm with head of section, Darren.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Darren's going to introduce us to some of the park's newest members.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24The thing is, it's not just about me,
0:06:24 > 0:06:26it's Johny as well, but he has not turned up.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Johnny!- Yeah?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30What are you doing? We've started. Get out here!
0:06:31 > 0:06:33LAUGHTER
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- Darren!- Sorry.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39I don't know about Johny Pitts, it's more Jammy Pots now!
0:06:39 > 0:06:41What's all this about?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Johny, we're going to take you in and see some really wonderful birds
0:06:45 > 0:06:47but they're specialist feeders
0:06:47 > 0:06:50so Rani and I need some help feeding them with this stuff.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I like this, Darren. Thank you very much.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55There has to be an easier way to do this.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59They're big eaters and, you know, we need more hands.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02OK, specialist birds, what kind of birds are we talking about?
0:07:02 > 0:07:06These are rainbow lorikeets and they eat a special home-made nectar
0:07:06 > 0:07:10which is why, hopefully, Johny is going to plough in there
0:07:10 > 0:07:11and feed as many as we can.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Johny, this is for a good cause, so let's see these babies.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Home-made Nectar Man!
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Here we go, guys.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Oh, they're beautiful! - Are you sure about this?
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Ooh! I've already got two! There's nothing on my head!
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Darren, am I OK?- You're fine. They are very excited to see you.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Can I just say...I think this has backfired for Rani.
0:07:35 > 0:07:41OK, they've got quite spiky claws, that's for sure!
0:07:41 > 0:07:44And they're squeaking a little bit, Darren.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46They're just very excited.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49They are really chattering in my ears. Do they bite?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- Am I safe?- You're very safe.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54They're very excited because they are nectar feeders.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59They're designed for eating the nectar from flowers and soft fruits
0:07:59 > 0:08:05and what we do is supplement it or change it to a home-made nectar.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07They use their special tongues.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10I was just looking at their tongues. It's almost...
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Excuse me, you are very loud in my ear!
0:08:14 > 0:08:16But it looks kind of like it's bristly or something.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20It is, it's like a little brush, and they use that to lap up the nectar.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24The idea is that it's such a high energy food, it's very messy,
0:08:24 > 0:08:27but it's gone very quickly.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30It seems to me like they're all going for the same pot.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Do they feed together?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34He's dropped my pot! He's dropped my pot!
0:08:34 > 0:08:37They are social feeders, they're flock creatures,
0:08:37 > 0:08:40and this particular species comes from Australia.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43You'll see them in groups thousands strong.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48They group for safety but, also, when certain flowers are flowering
0:08:48 > 0:08:50and the nectar is out, one little chirp goes up
0:08:50 > 0:08:53and everybody is going to hit there and say,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56"We want a bit of the action, we want a bit of that food."
0:08:56 > 0:08:59There's one question I have to ask.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03When you feed birds a lot, they tend to poop a lot.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Do they also need a poop table?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08They could probably do with it but, in here,
0:09:08 > 0:09:11they just go where it lands, which is where Johny wins,
0:09:11 > 0:09:13because he's got the hat.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17He's going to need a shower before he goes anywhere else.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20All right, Johny, we should probably leave you
0:09:20 > 0:09:23because the birds are going to need to do their business.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Darren, it's been a pleasure. We'll see you later. Enjoy!
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Guys...! Help! Come back!
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Rani! Darren!
0:09:39 > 0:09:42What do you call a great dog detective?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- Sherlock Bones! - LAUGHTER
0:09:46 > 0:09:50THEY HOWL
0:09:51 > 0:09:54How do you start a flea race?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56One, two, flea, go.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59SHE ROARS
0:09:59 > 0:10:04- BOTH:- What do you get when you cross a T Rex and a chicken?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I don't know.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- BOTH:- Tyrannosaurus pecks.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17LAUGHTER
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Our first Roar Rangers for the new series
0:10:27 > 0:10:33are budding ballerinas and best friends Molly and Cassie.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37But, today, they'll be swapping their ballet shoes
0:10:37 > 0:10:41for something a little more practical.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44As well as being bonkers about ballet,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47they're also potty about pets.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Between them, they look after three cats,
0:10:49 > 0:10:53two dogs and a hamster called Lola.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55So they like animals...
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- BOTH:- But not poo!
0:11:00 > 0:11:03So, what animals will the girls get?
0:11:03 > 0:11:07This series, the Roar Rangers won't be opening any easy envelopes
0:11:07 > 0:11:09to find out their mission.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14Instead, we're handing them a couple of tricky clues.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Gloves.- And a first aid kit.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Maybe it's something to do with helping an animal that's ill.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- A cow! An udder!- Oh, yeah!
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Molly and Cassie, who do you think you'll be working with today?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- BOTH:- A sick cow. Moo!
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Well, close, but no lollipop.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46In fact, the Roar Rangers are in for a real treat.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50They're getting a rare opportunity to go around with Chris,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52the safari park vet.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Every week, he spends a day at the park
0:11:55 > 0:11:58to check on the animals that have any kind of health problem.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Hi, guys. BOTH:- Hi.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03My name's Chris. I'm the park vet.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06You're going to be joining me on my rounds today.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11First up today are the pygmy goats.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Originally domesticated in West Africa,
0:12:14 > 0:12:19the pygmy goats' small size has made them popular all around the world.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22As you can see, we've got a load of goats here.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26These guys have had some bad skin that we've been treating
0:12:26 > 0:12:30so, today, we're going to have a look at it and check it's getting better.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Goats can get mites like we might get nits.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37That can cause a skin reaction.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41The one named Cracker has had it quite bad.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44You've got to catch them. Are you ready for it?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- BOTH:- Yeah!
0:12:46 > 0:12:51These goats may be tame but they do have horns.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55What if they run at us and head-butt us with their horns?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57They're pretty friendly.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00They're more likely to run away from you than run at you.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04I will say one thing, watch out for Bubble.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10She's not too keen on new people so she might butt you.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13But she's only tiny so just look out for her.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16That's all they need, a pygmy goat with attitude!
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Still, Molly and Cassie will be safe
0:13:20 > 0:13:23because they'll be with Chris the whole time.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26The one we're going for is the dark-coloured one.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Right, this is going to be hard.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Look out, here comes Bubble!
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Bubble...she was a maniac.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- She kept trying to head-butt us. - It was funny.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47And while Bubble's making trouble, Cracker keeps running off.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I don't think it's going to work. It's too big a field, isn't it?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54But when dealing with goats, just remember this.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56If all else fails, use food.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59This is our secret weapon which works really well.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02All goats are greedy so, if you come in with some nuts,
0:14:02 > 0:14:04usually, they'll come over.
0:14:04 > 0:14:11You take the bucket, give it a shake. Let's see how many goats come over.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- All of them!- Whoa!
0:14:15 > 0:14:17They really like it.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Right, girls, this is the one we want.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22He's just staying on the edge
0:14:22 > 0:14:26so, I wonder, if you put some of the stuff on the ground,
0:14:26 > 0:14:29let's see if he'll come and have a look at it. There we go.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Got him!
0:14:34 > 0:14:37This skin has gone all thick and crusty
0:14:37 > 0:14:39because he's been scratching it so much.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42He's scratched it so much, all his hair has come out.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45But the drugs will hopefully have got rid
0:14:45 > 0:14:47of the reason he was scratching.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51We think it's parasites - little bugs in his skin that make him itch.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Although it looks nasty with no fur, that's a lot better than it was.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59I don't think we'll have to do any kind of treatment today.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I think we'll just keep an eye on it.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03So what he had, was it dangerous?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Or was it an average thing that the goat would have?
0:15:07 > 0:15:11It wouldn't kill them but it's not fair for them to have it.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15They're really itchy, they don't eat, they're not happy with life,
0:15:15 > 0:15:19so we treat it and make him feel more comfortable.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24Right, are you ready? Just stand back because he might go that way.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26OK. There a go.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32That's the goats done and as soon as they have washed their hands,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35they'll be off to their next patient.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Don't go away because there's dirty work ahead
0:15:38 > 0:15:41for a much, much bigger animal.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53This year, things have been changing in the park.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57As well as the new animals like the lorikeets and the marmosets,
0:15:57 > 0:16:02some of the older residents have just moved in to brand new homes.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Oooh !I've been invited to a house-warming party!
0:16:07 > 0:16:11And like any guest, I've got a gift. Juicy mealworms.
0:16:11 > 0:16:17- Hey, Gem. Great new digs. I got you a present.- Thanks.- Mealworms.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22- That's not really for me though, is it?- Isn't this your new house?
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- This is for the meerkats. - Of course it is.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30I've got them some mealworms to say, lovely new place and all that.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- What are we going to do? Put them on a nice plate for them?- No.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38We're going to leave them in the box. Very good enrichment for them.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- OK. Shall we just place them on here?- Yes.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Give them a shake first to get them over.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- Take the lid off. - Look at them all coming!
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- I'll just leave it and spread them out.- That's it.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- Look at that!- There go. Happy new house.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58They've just flicked meal worms at me. They've got no table manners.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00They're loving their treat.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Talk us through their enclosure.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04We've got the high point, their look-out still.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06What else is going on here?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09We've got lots and lots of tunnels around the enclosure,
0:17:09 > 0:17:14which naturally, they will constantly be burrowing.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17We've got lots of heat lamps as well because, unfortunately,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20it's not quite like Africa here.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24They need lots of heat, especially on rainy days. They won't come out.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27I'm going to have a nosey at a tunnel and see what it's like.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30It's only small. There's the heat lamp so you can see it's warm.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33There's a load of them. Do they huddle together?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35- How does it work? - They huddle together to keep warm.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Especially when it's damp and horrible.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Generally, they kind of will split up a bit as well.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44They will separate into two different groups.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47That's what we've found in this enclosure, anyway.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I can hear them all, what's that sound called?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- It's a scuffly sound. - It's barking.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56RANI IMITATES MEERCAT BARK They're all saying, "They're mine."
0:17:56 > 0:17:58He's sat in there, now. He's telling everybody off.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05They seem to have really enjoyed my housewarming present
0:18:05 > 0:18:07but I've got to say,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10I haven't been offered a drink yet. This is a terrible party.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26The black around the meercat's eyes helps cut down glare,
0:18:26 > 0:18:29just like sunglasses,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32so they can see better in bright sunshine.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45It's been a few days now since Anne the elephant came to the park.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50After spending her whole life in the circus,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53no-one knew if she would be able to settle down here.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59So far, the keepers have been astonished.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03You'd never think this is probably the oldest elephant in Europe.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06She toddles round the yard and has a play around.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Sometimes she acts like an elephant more than half her age.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11She's out there playing,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14throwing things around and kicking her tyre around.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17She's tired the next day after she's done it. She wears herself out.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19It's great to see her doing what she does.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21ANNE TRUMPETS
0:19:24 > 0:19:28She might be very active, but Anne does have some health problems.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34She is a very old lady. In everyday terms, she's a granny.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37She's got achy legs and she gets tired easily.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39She's just not a young animal any more.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Vet, Nick Masters, is an elephant expert.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48He's been keeping an eye on her aches and pains.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Anne's biggest problem that we can establish at the moment
0:19:51 > 0:19:54is that she's got sore and stiff back legs,
0:19:54 > 0:19:56and it's difficult for her to perform functions
0:19:56 > 0:19:59that she would walking around.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Anne is suffering from severe arthritis.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Her joints are simply getting worn out.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13We're trying to make her feel comfortable, not to fix it,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16we can't get rid of the arthritis. It's old people care, really.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19She's an old lady and there's some wear and tear
0:20:19 > 0:20:22taken place over years which we'll try and manage.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Anne's age and aching legs aren't stopping her from playing.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31Right now she's trying to figure our how to demolish the log structure.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39Elephants are very clever anyway, but Anne's one of the smart ones.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41She's quite canny. She looks into things,
0:20:41 > 0:20:44she knows what's going on and she plays up a little bit.
0:20:47 > 0:20:52She is a challenge to manage. She knows every trick in the book.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55That's going to be a big challenge for Andy and Ryan over the next
0:20:55 > 0:20:58coming weeks and months and for the rest of her life, really.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01She's always going to be testing the waters,
0:21:01 > 0:21:03seeing what she can get away with, like a naughty child.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11At the moment, everyone is just pleased that she settled in so well
0:21:11 > 0:21:14and so quickly, too.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Fantastic. She's got a new lease of life.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Suddenly she's got this amazing outdoor area
0:21:20 > 0:21:22and you can see she's loving it,
0:21:22 > 0:21:26interacting with the environment, I think that's given her a big boost.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30It's wonderful to have an elephant back here.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31We're racing around.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35We're constantly doing something and working hard, but it's fun.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36It's great.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41So things are looking up for Anne, the last circus elephant in Britain.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Stay tuned because later in the show,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45we're going to see how she's doing
0:21:45 > 0:21:48when Rani and I get to meet her in person.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56The Roar game is back on the CBBC website.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01The aim of the game is to create your very own wild animal park
0:22:01 > 0:22:04and build it up to make it the best it can be.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10To help, we give out a different cheat code on every show.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Today it's wood4.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14You need the cheat codes to unlock extra animals
0:22:14 > 0:22:18or treats or special features.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23So why not give our game a go? It's easy to get started and great fun.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Our Roar Rangers, Molly and Cassie, are helping Chris,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37the safari park vet, do his weekly rounds.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43They're about to discover the smelly side of being a vet.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46There you go. There you go.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50I'm scared! I don't want to pick up poo.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- I don't know what animal it is. - This is from a rhino.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- RHINO BREAKS WIND - Nice(!)
0:22:56 > 0:22:59That's why there's so much, a wheelbarrow load.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00The reason we're looking at their poo
0:23:00 > 0:23:03is that they get all kinds of parasites. Worms.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07So we're going to have a quick look through it, see if we can see any.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Just like our pet dogs and cats,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13rhinos usually have some of these tiny parasitic worms
0:23:13 > 0:23:16living in their digestive system, feeding off the food they eat.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22They don't cause a problem as long as there aren't too many.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26But if the worms build up, some start coming out the back end.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30That's why it's important to keep checking.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32If you're lucky, it might still be warm.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Ew! That's not better. - It's a bit straw-y.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Ew, I... I just touched it.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43You just touched it. Go on, get your hand right in there.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Get closer, you've got to see if you can see anything in it.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Because the worms are so tiny,
0:23:49 > 0:23:52one thing you can do is put some in some water
0:23:52 > 0:23:57so that any worms or bits and pieces we want to see will float to the top.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00If we shove it in there, and have a look for anything floating on top.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Lovely. Get your hand in and break it up.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- Oh, man! - Eugh! I can't breathe!
0:24:11 > 0:24:13RETCHING
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Right, have a close look. Let's crouch and have a look.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- Eugh, gross. - Do you see any movement on top?
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Right, one little task left.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27We couldn't see anything in there, we need to make sure.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30We're going to take a bit and send it off to the lab.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33They can look under the microscope. There you go.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37See if you can get a bit of that poo in there. Squish it in.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43GROANING AND RETCHING
0:24:43 > 0:24:45This is manky.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Thank you very much.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Right, well done. We'll make vets of you yet.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- Blegh!- Eugh!
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Right, girls. Good and bad bits to every job.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00You've done the bad bit. Let's meet Cara who made all this poo for you.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Come on, through we go.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Aw! That is so cute!
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Does she ever get her head stuck?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12No, she can fit it back out.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16- They don't look this big on TV. - No.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18They're much bigger when you get up close.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21With the day drawing to a close,
0:25:21 > 0:25:24what to the Roar Rangers think of the vet's work now?
0:25:24 > 0:25:28I do still want to be a vet but some jobs are better than others.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32That poo, I would really not look forward to be doing that!
0:25:32 > 0:25:34It's quite tough being a vet.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38You have some real nasty, horrible jobs and some fun bits.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40I'm impressed with them. They got stuck in.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43You had to go away from it to get a breath of air.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48You had to stuff it into a tub. It was all warm and gooey.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49They got stuck in with the poo,
0:25:49 > 0:25:52which is impressive, that's a horrible job.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Most vets don't like doing it. BOTH: Go, vets!
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Another amazing, action-packed show in the bag.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14We've got time to squeeze in a little more.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15Really?
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Yeah, we've got time to meet Andy, Ryan and Anne the elephant.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- Hello, guys. - She's looking good!
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- Fantastic.- How's she getting on?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Really well.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29We're working hard and giving her a bath every day
0:26:29 > 0:26:33and looking after her skin and her feet and nails and everything.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34It's good fun.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Sounds like she's just being pampered! I want her job!
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- It's like Andy and Ryan's spa. - Is it hard work?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44We're looking round and there's a lot of poo about.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Obviously, they are big animals. There's a lot of poo
0:26:47 > 0:26:50but there's a lot more involved than picking up poo.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52It is hard work every day.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54We enjoy it and we're seeing the fruits of our labour.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57It's been fab meeting Anne the elephant today.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59We look forward to following her story.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Why don't you guys check out what's coming in the next episode of Roar.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- Milyka the lion needs an operation. - MILYKA ROARS
0:27:10 > 0:27:13But will she come round afterwards?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Jess the tapir goes melon mad.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20I've never seen a tapir look so happy!
0:27:21 > 0:27:23And even though Nico is a very old gorilla,
0:27:23 > 0:27:26it's not a good idea to get between him and his food.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28He's still very strong.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32A lot stronger than you and a lot stronger than me!
