0:00:02 > 0:00:06Today on Roar, a huge male tiger has come to the park,
0:00:06 > 0:00:08he's over three metres long,
0:00:08 > 0:00:13weighs over 200 kilogram's and has canine teeth as long as your finger.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17Oh, and his hair do's not bad either.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hello and welcome to Roar, I'm Johny.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52I'm Rani, and we are in the vulture aviary.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I thought I was going to be scared because vultures
0:00:55 > 0:00:58are meant to be mean, scary meat-eating birds,
0:00:58 > 0:01:02but look, they're beautiful. Hello you, want to be friends?
0:01:02 > 0:01:05That's not a vulture, that's a vulturine guinea fowl there.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07The vultures are actually up there.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Are those big, mean, scary looking things?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17I think we should get out of here, get on with the show.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Coming up, the sea lions can swim at 40 kilometres per hour,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28but we've never filmed them underwater,
0:01:28 > 0:01:32so can the Roar team rise to the challenge?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Will our keeper get beat again when this lot ask some
0:01:35 > 0:01:38bird-brained questions about the rainbow lorikeets?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40# Beat again... #
0:01:40 > 0:01:44# Won't beat again it's killing me... #
0:01:44 > 0:01:47And do you know your snood from your wattle,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50your gobble from your gizzard? Rani learns to talk turkey.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Close up, a bit creepy looking.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58It's all that bobble-y stuff on his face, what is going on?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03The production team have asked a lot of me this series.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05They've covered me in lorikeets,
0:02:05 > 0:02:10sent me to otter birthday parties, introduced me to mean-looking lions,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12and have I ever once let them down?
0:02:12 > 0:02:17No, I haven't, so now I'm going to ask something of them for a change.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21I want to see a shot of a sea lion swimming underwater
0:02:21 > 0:02:24and I want to know if they use their front
0:02:24 > 0:02:26or their back flippers for swimming.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Is that too much to ask? Well, is it?
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- No, Mr Pitts.- That's more like it. It's not just this horrible lot
0:02:33 > 0:02:34that will help me get this shot,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37it's also head keeper Mark thankfully.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- How are you doing, Mark? - All right.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41How can we do this? How can we get a shot,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44I'm being serious, of a sea lion underwater?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47A waterproof camera would be helpful,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49but probably should be quite easy
0:02:49 > 0:02:52because they swim alongside the boats.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54So, camera on a long pole off the side of the boat
0:02:54 > 0:02:57and I'm sure you'd be able to get something.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59We've not done this before, at least on Roar,
0:02:59 > 0:03:02is it something that they'll be wary of, a big camera?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05They're really inquisitive animals so I would have thought
0:03:05 > 0:03:08something unusual hanging off the side of the boat
0:03:08 > 0:03:10and they'd want to come and look.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13So, we're going to get an underwater camera and go with the boat.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16We don't need to leave it there then go off?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Probably best as the boat's going along and people
0:03:18 > 0:03:22are feeding off the side, would probably be your best chance.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Have you ever seen them swimming underwater yourself?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Yes, because sometimes the lake goes really clear.- Really?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Certain points of the year it goes clear
0:03:30 > 0:03:33and you can see them swimming under really nicely.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35That's great. So kind of an obvious question,
0:03:35 > 0:03:37but sea lions are uber swimmers then.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Are they specially developed for this?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Amazing swimmers, amazingly powerful,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45propel through the water at up to 25 miles an hour.
0:03:45 > 0:03:4625 miles... Wow, that's incredible.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- So that's about 40 kilometres per hour?- Yes.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53That's amazing. Who do you think would come up to the camera first.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Buster being the big man and the head guy,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58would you think he'd come up to the camera first?
0:03:58 > 0:04:02He'd probably be the last one. He's a bit of a chicken on the quiet.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05The three girls would be more likely to come up first.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07So anything else that we need to know
0:04:07 > 0:04:10about capturing this amazing moment?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13No, I think like last year when we did it with the hippos,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15lots of cameras and a little bit of patience.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17We've got a plan.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Join us later on in the show to see if we can get this amazing footage
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- of a sea lion swimming, should be simple.- I'm ready, Mr Pitts.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Although having said that, dude, seriously take a look at yourself.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Sorry about that, Mark.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36We're off now up to Tiger Territory
0:04:36 > 0:04:39because there's a new kid on the block to meet.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43In the last series of Roar we filmed with Svetli, Shouri, and Soundari,
0:04:43 > 0:04:47the three Siberian or Amur tigers who live here.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52They're all females and up till now they've been enjoying
0:04:52 > 0:04:55having the place to themselves and doing the things that
0:04:55 > 0:05:00tigers love doing most, playing and sleeping.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04But recently the peace and quiet of the tiger house
0:05:04 > 0:05:07has been shattered by the arrival of a huge new male.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11This is Turlock, he's enormous
0:05:11 > 0:05:15and keeper Bob thinks he's fantastic.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18If he was to stand up - are you going to stand up, mate?
0:05:18 > 0:05:23Now I'm 6' 2" and just in here he towers above me,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25that's not full stretch.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29From tip of tail to tip of nose, he's got to be in the region
0:05:29 > 0:05:30of nine-ten feet long.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Nine-ten feet! That's three metres long.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41He's a big gentle giant, really.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43I wouldn't want to go out there and walk around with him,
0:05:43 > 0:05:47but in the house, he's a breath of fresh air.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50It looks like you can go in and give him a big tickle
0:05:50 > 0:05:53but you wouldn't be coming back out again.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Siberian tigers are the largest of all the big cats,
0:05:57 > 0:05:59but they are critically endangered.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03There are thought to be only around 450 left
0:06:03 > 0:06:07living in the wilds of the far east of Russia.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Turlock has never been to Russia, he was born in a zoo,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14and at 15 he's quite old in tiger years.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17He's already mixing well with the girls,
0:06:17 > 0:06:20but summer is arriving at the park and as the temperatures rise
0:06:20 > 0:06:23the keepers want to make sure that all the tigers
0:06:23 > 0:06:26can cool down if they want to.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30So today it's Operation Tiger Pond,
0:06:30 > 0:06:32getting the new male Turlock to have a swim.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36The plan this morning is we're going to fill the tiger pond up,
0:06:36 > 0:06:38I'm taking the tractor and the bowser in,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41which is going to release gallons of water.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43But keeping the tigers' pond topped up
0:06:43 > 0:06:46isn't as easy as it sounds.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49We have to get out to fill the pond up.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Someone has to get out of the vehicle to get the pipe off the bowser.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57And there's another problem, Turlock's hunting instincts
0:06:57 > 0:07:02kick in when cars or the tractor come into his territory.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05He tends to chase vehicles now and again.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07He doesn't actually do anything to them,
0:07:07 > 0:07:09he runs after them and then he just stops.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14So it causes a little bit of a problem.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16But it's a job that has to be done.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18You make it as safe as you can.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Will Turlock and the girls attack?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24We'll join the big cat team later
0:07:24 > 0:07:27to see how Operation Tiger Pond proceeds.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Big cats have big appetites.
0:07:35 > 0:07:41An adult male tiger can eat 35-kilos of meat in one sitting.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43That's more than 300 burgers,
0:07:43 > 0:07:48but since a burger is fast food maybe it'd escape.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50ALL: Now you know!
0:08:01 > 0:08:05It's time to put our pros on the spot one more time
0:08:05 > 0:08:09in another round of Ask The Keeper.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Today, answering all on the beautiful lorikeets,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15is the beautiful Amy! Amy, how are you feeling?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17I'm all right, I'm a little bit nervous,
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- but I think we'll be all right. - Yeah, you think so?- I hope so.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Guys, do you think Amy looks confident or quite nervous?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- A bit of both.- A bit of both!
0:08:26 > 0:08:29All right, let's try and catch her out...
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I mean, absorb her wonderful knowledge.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Who wants to go first? Go on then, Oliver.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36What is their bill made out of?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39It's like keratin, so it's like your nails.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41It's a very tough beak, which obviously they use
0:08:41 > 0:08:43to break open nuts and things.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45But these birds mostly drink nectar
0:08:45 > 0:08:48so they don't really need a really strong bill.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Can they speak like parrots?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52That is a very good question.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56They're not as good at copying and mimicking
0:08:56 > 0:08:57as the macaws but they can chatter.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00They sing songs and they do a lot of whistling,
0:09:00 > 0:09:04but very rarely do they actually mimic words like bigger parrots.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Do they have a favourite artist they like to sing?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Probably JLS. - JLS, is that the kind of thing?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14# My heart won't beat again... #
0:09:17 > 0:09:21What's the difference between a lorikeet and a parakeet?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23The difference between lorikeets and parakeets.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Parakeets are a little bit smaller than these guys,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29and they are part of the parrot family,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31but they're different breeds of parrots.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34The parakeets are a lot smaller and there's different breeds.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36How long do they live, actually?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39They can live for about 25 to 30 years,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41so they live quite a long time.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Not as long as the macaws, but they quite a long time.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47How hot does the climate need to be for a lorikeet to live?
0:09:47 > 0:09:51That's a very good question. Well, these guys are from Australia
0:09:51 > 0:09:54so it is very warm, but because these have been bred in captivity
0:09:54 > 0:09:57they can adjust to the England climate.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00When it's cold, they can adjust and they huddle together.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03They keep their bodies nice and warm,
0:10:03 > 0:10:07and they get a new layer of feathers as well, which keeps them warm.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09You lot have asked great questions,
0:10:09 > 0:10:11but I think if the lorikeets were a bit closer,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14do you think that'd inspire you for a few more questions?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Can we do that? Is it possible to get them closer?
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Of course. Here you go,
0:10:18 > 0:10:21just make sure you hold the pots nice and tight.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26OK, lorikeets, let's see what you look like then up close.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31- There you go. - Woo-hoo, I caught me a bird.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34I caught me a few birds!
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Amy, you have done fantastically well answering our questions,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51but how are you going to be with a killer question?
0:10:51 > 0:10:52Come on then, guys,
0:10:52 > 0:10:56so we're going to come up with another question, any ideas?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Hah-ha-ha.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Killer question, killer question.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Enough of the dance, let's ask the question. Amy, look scared.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Here it goes, rainbow lorikeets get their names
0:11:11 > 0:11:13from their coloured coats,
0:11:13 > 0:11:16but can you name all the colours of the rainbow?
0:11:20 > 0:11:28Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33- Indigo!- YES! You missed one out! So the answer is, Amy,
0:11:33 > 0:11:38"no, I cannot name all the colours."
0:11:38 > 0:11:42High five. Thumbs up or thumbs down for Amy?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44ALL: Yay!
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Hey, Oliver, what does Amy know about lorikeets?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Amy knows a lorra, lorra lot about lorikeets.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53RANI LAUGHS
0:11:59 > 0:12:05Back up in Tiger Territory and the four big cats seem to know
0:12:05 > 0:12:06that something is up.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12The keepers need to bring the water tanker into their enclosure
0:12:12 > 0:12:13to top up their pond.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Summer's here and the keepers want to ensure
0:12:16 > 0:12:18the tigers have somewhere to cool down.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22It takes a long time to fill the pond up
0:12:22 > 0:12:24so it wouldn't be fair to lock the cats away
0:12:24 > 0:12:25whilst they did it.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29But Bob knows that the big male, Turlock, can be a problem
0:12:29 > 0:12:32because he likes chasing things.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Brian's coming in with a tractor and bowser,
0:12:37 > 0:12:41I'm here to put the pipe into the pond.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45We also have Stuart in here who's going to guard
0:12:45 > 0:12:49the tractor because Turlock does generally take on after it
0:12:49 > 0:12:50and try to attack it.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55You can bring the bowser in now, please?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58It's just a case of waiting now.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05As soon as the tractor enters the enclosure,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Turlock starts hunting.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Tigers can sprint at up to 40 miles an hour for a short distance
0:13:15 > 0:13:17so this is just a jog for Turlock.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24He uses his long tail to balance as he runs.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27In the wild, less than one in ten hunts
0:13:27 > 0:13:31are successful for tigers so the tractor may still get away.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35This is the difficult part.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38There's Turlock just coming through there,
0:13:38 > 0:13:44and there's a tiger just outside.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48A third keeper, Stuart, is keeping a safety watch
0:13:48 > 0:13:52on where all the tigers are in the park.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55They're all round by the house, Brian.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I'm just going to get out now and do the pipe.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10All we've got to do now is wait for that to empty.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Bob and Brian have worked with tigers for over 30 years
0:14:14 > 0:14:17so they know what's safe and what's not.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20They're always very careful,
0:14:20 > 0:14:25but no visitor should ever get out of their car in a big cat reserve.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30You've got to be able to read the animal as much as anything else
0:14:30 > 0:14:32and these animals are as wild as wild.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34They've got their natural instincts
0:14:34 > 0:14:36even though they've been born in captivity,
0:14:36 > 0:14:40every opportunity they get, they would try and get you.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45With the pond topped up Bob now has to get the pipe back on the tractor.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48The trouble is Turlock is a little bit too close for comfort.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49As you can see he's right here.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53So I'm not going to get out and get the pipe yet.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Just in case.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58We do need Stuart just to push him off for safety reasons.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- All right?- Yes.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Phew, Bob's OK.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Everything's now ready, so will Turlock decide to go swimming?
0:15:18 > 0:15:23No, it seems he's more interested in chasing the tractor again.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Stay here.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Good boy. No good chasing it, is it?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37With the pond topped up,
0:15:37 > 0:15:41it's bath time for the biggest of the big cats.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Will the keepers be able to tempt the tigers to take a dip?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47We'll be back in Tiger Territory in a short while.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Where do baby cows eat?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55"Calf-eteria."
0:15:55 > 0:15:58BOTH: Bwok-bwok-bwok. cock-a-doodle-doo.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Why was the cat on the desktop?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- why was the cat on the desktop? - He was looking for the mouse.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-ha-ha-ha-ha whoo-whoo...
0:16:06 > 0:16:10What do bees chew? "Bum-ble" gum.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12THEY ALL LAUGH
0:16:25 > 0:16:26Earlier on in the show,
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I set the Roar team the challenge of getting me
0:16:29 > 0:16:32some amazing footage of the sea lions swimming.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34and now it's time to find out how they did.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- I'm here with Mark, how are you doing?- Hi, Johny.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Mark, your job's safe, but am I going to have
0:16:39 > 0:16:41to sack any members of our crew today?
0:16:41 > 0:16:46I'm not sure, you'll have to check some of this and see what we think.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48So this is on our small camera and it looks...
0:16:48 > 0:16:53Oh it's quite interesting getting close to them.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55So they're being fed here now, are they?
0:16:55 > 0:16:58That's the thing, the sea lions associate the boats with food,
0:16:58 > 0:17:02that's why they're all on the surface and looking upwards.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04There's a sea lion there,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07but we can't see anything because it's so murky.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Why is that water so murky, Mark?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12That's just natural lake water, it actually looks quite clear
0:17:12 > 0:17:13when you're above it
0:17:13 > 0:17:16looking at it, but it's not as clear as you think.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18I'm not that impressed, are you, Mark?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21We couldn't see anything underneath the water.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Nothing to be seen, is there?
0:17:22 > 0:17:27It's not a good start. Can the Roar team pull something out of the bag?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Hopefully this last bit of footage will give us what we want,
0:17:30 > 0:17:33because I've not been that impressed so far.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37Let's see what they've got here, this is quite interesting.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38- Wow.- That's more like it.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Now that's incredible, actually.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Do you know where that is, Mark?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Because that obviously isn't out in the lake.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48No, that's in our holding pen in the yard.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51You've got young Riley and Jaz was in there as well.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Riley was brought up for weaning, to come away from his mum
0:17:55 > 0:17:57and be weaned onto fish, and Jaz had an injury
0:17:57 > 0:18:02to her flipper so she was in here just while we could monitor her
0:18:02 > 0:18:04and give her antibiotics and things.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07But they're now both back out in the lake.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11This amazing footage shows that Californian sea lions actually use
0:18:11 > 0:18:15the front flippers to swim with and the smaller back flippers
0:18:15 > 0:18:17are mainly there for steering.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I have to say I'm actually really impressed with this
0:18:20 > 0:18:22because can see that the fish are coming in
0:18:22 > 0:18:25and we've seen how they eat underneath the water.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- That's great, isn't it? - How have they adapted
0:18:28 > 0:18:32to be able to eat fish underwater, Mark, how do they do it?
0:18:32 > 0:18:36It's a valve in their throat where they can close their throat off
0:18:36 > 0:18:40and open their mouth to be able to grab the food.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Is there anything to help them eat underneath the water?
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Well, obviously the main thing is speed and manoeuvrability
0:18:47 > 0:18:48to be able to catch fish.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Obviously, fish are pretty adapted to the water too
0:18:52 > 0:18:54and they need to be able to keep up.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59You can see from their flippers that they've got immense manoeuvrability.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02So how long can sea lions stay under the water for?
0:19:02 > 0:19:06A good eight minutes if they want to, so they can stay under a while.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10It is incredible to see footage of an animal that we only see
0:19:10 > 0:19:14above the water despite them being under the water so often.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15I think this is quite good
0:19:15 > 0:19:19and I don't think we have to sack anybody just yet.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- We'll let them off. - They did all right.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- I wouldn't mind a cup of tea. - Yeah, me too as well.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Tea guys, tea quick, sharpish.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37When you come to a safari park you expect to see lions, tigers,
0:19:37 > 0:19:43elephants, monkeys, even parrots, but really is that a turkey?
0:19:43 > 0:19:48Katie, are you serious, do you have a turkey here?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51That is quite scary looking.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52This is Terry the turkey
0:19:52 > 0:19:55and he lives in Animal Adventure with us, he just roams free.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59He likes to stay near the high racks to see himself in the window.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Really? Are you quite vain then, Terry?
0:20:01 > 0:20:06- I've got to say close up, a bit creepy looking.- A little bit scary.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09It's all that kind of bobble-y stuff on his face.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11What is going on and what's with the horn?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14The thing on the top of his beak is called a snood.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17It goes up and out when he's displaying and the ones underneath
0:20:17 > 0:20:21are caruncles and he fills that with blood when he's displaying.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- When he fills it with blood, does it get big?- Yes.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- Because we always think of turkey necks.- Big red bulgy bits.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- Not very attractive at all. - Oh, bless him.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33OK, now I believe you've got some treats here for Terry.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37We've got a little bit of food to try and keep him a bit more occupied.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Oh look, look. His nose has just flopped down.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Yeah, that's the little bit he fills with blood, it just flops down.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45That's amazing.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48The snood starts off looking like a small red horn,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51but when it fills with blood, look what happens to it.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53It goes long and dangly.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Now we've got John there, he's one of our Roar team,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58he's just trying to keep Terry over here.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Has his nose flopped because John is in his way?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Yes, he's just saying you're in my way, I want to get over there.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08John, you're in Terry's way and you've made his snood flop.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- Terry!- Why is he displaying?
0:21:12 > 0:21:16He's displaying for female turkeys to try and look impressive to them.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19So he thinks John, our researcher, is a female turkey?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Or a threat and he's trying to make himself look scary
0:21:22 > 0:21:24so John will go away.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- Now, I've got to say, his feet are quite big and impressive.- Yes.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Slightly scary, are they weapons?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33They can be, he can use them, he can give a good kick
0:21:33 > 0:21:36and he's got spurs on the back of his feet as well,
0:21:36 > 0:21:40which can do a bit of damage, but he doesn't really ever use his feet.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44So what would he use, is it just a pecking action?
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Yes, a nice good peck at somebody.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51He's pretty nifty as well because he's a big old bird. Does he fly?
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Not really, he can fly up a little height to get onto a perch
0:21:55 > 0:21:58or something, but they're too heavy to fly any distance.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01So what keeps Terry happy, some mealworms?
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Lots of mealworms.- And what else?
0:22:04 > 0:22:07He likes to rummage around in leaves, a lot of dried leaves.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10He'll have a good scratch around in. He's very fond of his greens.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Likes to eat nice and healthy does our Terry.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17Well, Terry, it's been really lovely seeing you and while your snood
0:22:17 > 0:22:21is full of blood I think we're going to get out of here.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Thanks very much, Katie.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Right, all you gamers,
0:22:29 > 0:22:33it's cheat code time for the Roar game on the CBBC website.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Type in sand3.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Dream of the summer holidays and see what you get. Happy gaming.
0:22:44 > 0:22:50Back up in Tiger Territory the team have finished topping up the pond.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53The next challenge it to try and tempt the tigers into it,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56but how do you get a tiger to take a bath?
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Bob has a plan.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02I would just chuck some pieces of meat out around the pond
0:23:02 > 0:23:05and then I'll call him up and see if he comes up to play.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16Turlock's interested, but he's still not ready to take the plunge.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22Just chuck this little play-thing out for him to encourage him over.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Come on!
0:23:24 > 0:23:26That's done something, here he comes.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Most cats hate water but not tigers, they love it.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51Cats generally try to stay away from water,
0:23:51 > 0:23:55if it's raining my cat won't go out, but tigers love water.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59A watering hole is an essential part of their territory and they will
0:23:59 > 0:24:02guard that against other tigers in that area.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06It's also a good ambush point for their prey as well.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Water is a key part of their territory.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Turlock will be able to take a bath as often as he wants now.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22He'll visit the pond four or five times a day.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26And it's a satisfying sight for the keepers.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30I love seeing any animal engrossed in play,
0:24:30 > 0:24:34whether it's with balls or amongst each other.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38It's really nice to see that because it means they're happy here.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Now there are few animals here at the park that
0:24:58 > 0:25:02bring fear to people's eyes just at the mere mention of their name.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04We've popped over to meet one of them
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- with their keeper Jo. Hello, Jo. - Hi, Johny.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Jo, I've got to admit, I am one of those people.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14I've never been a fan and I don't think anything you could say
0:25:14 > 0:25:17could convince me otherwise, but try.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- Who've we got here?- We will try. These are Leela and Stitch.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Cute names, that's a start. Which is which?
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- This is Leela and this is Stitch. - Is that male and female?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29They're girls. Our boys are Bert and Ernie.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- These are two of our Madagascan hissing cockroaches.- OK.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37So you say hissing cockroaches, I'm guessing that they hiss?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- Yes, they can do. - And why do they hiss?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42The males are dominant to each other,
0:25:42 > 0:25:45so they would hiss to warn each other off and they would hiss
0:25:45 > 0:25:48if they're frightened, but these are used to being handled
0:25:48 > 0:25:52so they're probably not going to do much of that today.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56So the thing with cockroaches, that I don't like,
0:25:56 > 0:25:58is I associate them with being dirty.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Are they dirty, because you're holding them?
0:26:01 > 0:26:04There's about 4,000 species of cockroach and only 28 are pests.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06They seem pretty chilled on you there,
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- might I be able to hold one? - Yes, of course you can.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but they seem so relaxed.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- There you go.- That's actually not that bad at all, you know?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19In fact, once they're on you,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21this might sound weird, but they're quite cute.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25They're very gentle. Look at their little heads.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29Those antennae things that are flicking around,
0:26:29 > 0:26:33is that because they've got rubbish eyesight or bad smell?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- Why do they do it? - They can't see well,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37they need to feel where they're going.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40You're trying to convince us that cockroaches are great,
0:26:40 > 0:26:45- tell me one good thing about them. - They recycle, very good at recycling.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48They are nature's recyclers, they will eat all the rotten fruit
0:26:48 > 0:26:51and the rotten litter off of the floor in the forests.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55Anyone who likes recycling is good by me, pass her over.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58All right, well that's all we've got time for on today's show.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- Check out what's coming up on the next episode of Roar!- Bye-bye.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07The lion cubs must have their last injections.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11They may look cute, but they have teeth and claws like knives,
0:27:11 > 0:27:13so will the keepers escape unharmed?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Hello, is that King Kong?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Oh, it's only the marmosets.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Our Roar rangers are monkey keepers,
0:27:22 > 0:27:27but there's always one show-off who'll do anything to get on telly.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33And we meet the two baby oryx who are vital for the survival
0:27:33 > 0:27:38of the species because they are now extinct in the wild.
