0:00:04 > 0:00:07On a roaring Roar today...
0:00:07 > 0:00:10the lion cubs must have their last injections.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14But at nine weeks old, they are big, strong,
0:00:14 > 0:00:16and have teeth and claws like knives.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Will the keepers escape unharmed?
0:00:49 > 0:00:53- Hello and welcome to Roar. I'm Rani. - And I'm Johny. And today,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56we're facing our most challenging task yet here at the park.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59We're not talking about wrestling tigers
0:00:59 > 0:01:05or riding a camel. We are not even talking about hand-feeding a hippo.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08No, this is far, far worse.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12We've been asked...to be boat tour guides
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- in front of REAL people, Rani! - RANI LAUGHS
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Find out later if we'll be thrown overboard!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21But for now, let's get on with today's show.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Oh, Johny!- Do we have to?
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Coming up...
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Hello! Is that King Kong?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Oh, it's only the marmosets!
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Our Roar Rangers are monkey keepers for the day,
0:01:32 > 0:01:36but there's always one show-off who'll do anything to get on telly.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43And we meet the two baby oryx who are vital for the survival
0:01:43 > 0:01:47of their species, because they are now extinct in the wild.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56But we're starting with the lions.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03It's been a really busy time for the keepers
0:02:03 > 0:02:06since Nibalo, the new male lion, arrived.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12He came from Germany and has mixed in well with the females here.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14In fact, two months ago,
0:02:14 > 0:02:19Nibalo and female Yendi became proud parents to this little lot.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Yendi is a very experienced mum.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29She's had seven cubs before, and she's been
0:02:29 > 0:02:34very relaxed with these little ones. Even when they start playing rough.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39This is the time now that they are learning all the skills
0:02:39 > 0:02:43that they'll need to survive in the wild.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46You can see that they're playing, trying to trip each other up.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48It's all skills that they would need.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Nine weeks on and the cubs are now much more active.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Today they need to have their second injections
0:02:56 > 0:02:59against cat flu, and some worming medicine.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Cat flu, if untreated,
0:03:02 > 0:03:06could kill these lion cubs as easily as it can domestic cats.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09The first injections were done a few weeks ago,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11when the cubs were smaller.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Now, they're much bigger and much stronger.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Vet Duncan is in charge.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I enjoy this. It gets the adrenaline going.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20It's certainly a good chance to get close to the cubs
0:03:20 > 0:03:21but it's a bit hairy.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24Hairy it will definitely be!
0:03:24 > 0:03:30And big cat keeper Bob wants some of the younger keepers to help today.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32We've got three new volunteers for this one,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34which is going to be a bit exciting, I think.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36We're fortunate that we've got some cubs.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39And it's excellent training for new keepers, cos
0:03:39 > 0:03:43they don't obviously get a chance to do this sort of thing
0:03:43 > 0:03:45on a daily basis, but when they do come along we try and get
0:03:45 > 0:03:48as many of them to do this as possible.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I can't wait to get hands-on with the cubs.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53It's not very often you get to work with lion cubs.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Getting hold of them will be difficult.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57And trying to stay away from their teeth and claws.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58That will be a challenge.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Having had their first injections,
0:04:04 > 0:04:05they know exactly what will go on.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07So they're going to be a bit feistier.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Their teeth are bigger.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Their claws are bigger.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Mum, she's been separated away from the cubs.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22She's a little bit annoyed about that, obviously.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26The cubs and Mum will feed off each other's stress.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28It sounds a lot worse than what is actually going on.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I can see why the girls would be very apprehensive
0:04:33 > 0:04:34if they've not done it before.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36These cats have grown really quickly.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38They're not kittens anymore. That's for sure.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42The main thing to do is to just basically scruff it.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Hold it really tight. Hold the tail,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47and just keep the cub away from you but down.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Head keeper Brian is giving the girls
0:04:50 > 0:04:52a last-minute lesson on tactics.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57And then shows them exactly how it should be done.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03It may look a bit rough holding cubs by the scruff of their neck,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05but this is how Mum carries them,
0:05:05 > 0:05:09so it actually helps calm the cubs down when they're held like this.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Brian makes it look easy, but as head keeper he's had
0:05:13 > 0:05:17over thirty years' experience of working with lions.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Vet Duncan has also done this before,
0:05:22 > 0:05:26and he knows how important the keepers are if this is to go well.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I'm totally reliant on the keepers to make sure
0:05:29 > 0:05:31they restrain the cubs. Otherwise I can't inject it.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34To reduce the stress for the cubs, we won't be going
0:05:34 > 0:05:38into the lions' den, but we have given the girls some Roar cameras,
0:05:38 > 0:05:42so you can see what it's like when you're up close to a lion cub.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46If it doesn't go well, someone may well get injured.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49We'll be back later to see how the girls get on.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Half Mile Lake must be one of the wildest
0:05:57 > 0:05:59stretches of water in the whole country.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01It's not just home to ducks and swans,
0:06:01 > 0:06:05but also to two of Africa's biggest killers.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Hippos. Spot and Sonia.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Add to that nine Californian sea lions, and a silverback gorilla
0:06:12 > 0:06:17on an island in the middle, and you can see that this is no ordinary lake!
0:06:17 > 0:06:20The boat trips around the lake are very popular,
0:06:20 > 0:06:24so the Roar team thought they'd set us a little challenge.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Who could be the best boat tour guide,
0:06:27 > 0:06:31and would either of us be good enough to join the boat crew?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33It's time for the ultimate challenge!
0:06:33 > 0:06:36And this really is for us. Now, take a look at this boat.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41It is filled with lovely people. I'm saying "lovely"! Be nice!
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Everyone cheer! - THEY CHEER
0:06:44 > 0:06:46OK, so that is our audience,
0:06:46 > 0:06:49and we are going to have to be boat tour guides.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52So, John, before we start, can we have some tips?
0:06:52 > 0:06:56How to be great commentators. Great commentators like yourself, John!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59He's great! John's great!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01THEY CLAP
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Basically, three things you will need to know.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07One, speak clearly. Right?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Two, make sure that when you're trying to talk, try to keep
0:07:10 > 0:07:14some humour in it, so you can really interact with the audience.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19- And what's the third tip?- Make sure you know what you're on about.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- Right, one out of three. What was the first one again?- Speak clearly.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Speak clearly! I'm going to go with that one. That's my one.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28I'm going to be brave and be a man about this.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I'll go first and get it out of the way. What do you think?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- John, is that OK?- Yeah, it's all yours. Here you go.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Ha-ha-haaa! - Can I give you an introduction?
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Ladies and gentlemen, from CBBC's Roar...Miss Rani Price!
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- Give her a round of applause! - THEY CLAP AND CHEER
0:07:44 > 0:07:51OK, hello and welcome! Now, we are sailing on Half Mile Lake.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Now this is one of the largest exhibits in the world.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58To the seal lions, now as you can see, some of the sea lions
0:07:58 > 0:08:01will chase alongside the boat, they'll pop up to say hello.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03We've got one big one just down there...
0:08:03 > 0:08:08She's been a right teacher's pet and has learned her script, so let's
0:08:08 > 0:08:13speed things up a bit...and come back later to see how she does.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22The word "hippopotamus" comes from the Greek language,
0:08:22 > 0:08:24and means "river horse."
0:08:24 > 0:08:27And when a hippo yawns, it doesn't mean it's bored.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32Rather, it's a threat and may just be about to attack. Oo-er!
0:08:32 > 0:08:35ALL: Now you know!
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Our Roar Rangers today are best buds.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48They're 11-year-old Molly and Cassie.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Hi, I'm Molly, but I'm nothing without my best friend Cassie.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54PING
0:08:54 > 0:08:55Aw, that's sweet!
0:08:56 > 0:09:00These two are clearly BFFs who spend a lot of time together.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05- We...- Do acting.- ..acting. - Go on holiday.- Holidays, swimming!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Swimming together.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11And as best friends, they even have a secret handshake...
0:09:11 > 0:09:13BOTH: Bli-i-ib!
0:09:13 > 0:09:16..which goes on so long, we've had to speed it up!
0:09:16 > 0:09:17BOTH: Bi-ing!
0:09:18 > 0:09:22But it's not about getting your hand-SHAKES down at the park.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25It's about getting your hands dirty!
0:09:25 > 0:09:28So, we're giving Molly and Cassie two clues to work out
0:09:28 > 0:09:30which animal they'll be working with today.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33This smells like mashed-up banana.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36It's a good start. It is a banana.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38These are monkey masks!
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Oh, you don't need the mask.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- You already look like a monkey! - Thanks. So kind(!)
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- I thought you two were best mates! - Ooh-ooh-ooh!
0:09:47 > 0:09:49So girls, any ideas?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Maybe it's an animal that's a bit like a monkey,
0:09:52 > 0:09:55but is not actually classed as a monkey,
0:09:55 > 0:09:56like a gorilla.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Hmm...not quite.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02I think it's a monkey because of the banana and the monkey mask.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Fingers crossed it's monkeys!
0:10:04 > 0:10:08The only way to find out is to meet the keeper they'll be working with.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- Hi girls! Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15My name's Jo, and I am a monkey keeper.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Yay! The girls were right!
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Today they are going to be helping out with the monkeys.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22But which ones?
0:10:22 > 0:10:27- They are common marmosets.- Oh, wow! - And they're very cute.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31The common marmoset is a very small monkey
0:10:31 > 0:10:35that lives in the Brazilian rainforests in South America.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37They are also known as the cotton-eared marmoset
0:10:37 > 0:10:40because of that bonkers hairdo!
0:10:40 > 0:10:44The park is home to a family of eight, including these two
0:10:44 > 0:10:48super-cute babies, who are only a few weeks old.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56They have recently moved into their new, cool, open-top enclosure.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00And Jo is helping them to adjust to their new surroundings.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02She wants some help with feeding,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05to encourage the little monkeys to explore their new enclosure.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09I need some different ways of feeding them
0:11:09 > 0:11:12and some nice things to give them to make them come out.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Are you willing to help me today? BOTH: Yeah!
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- Right, well we'd better get to work! - OK.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Jo's got a whole load of food to encourage the marmosets out.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Some nice, like fruits and nuts.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29And some wiggly, like mealworms and waxworms.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- Ohh...!- They look cool!
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Get your hand in there! Give it a mush around! Go on!
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Get your hand in there! Go on! They're wiggly-wiggly!
0:11:39 > 0:11:43The next thing they have...doesn't look like much at the minute.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45It looks like you're going to make pancakes,
0:11:45 > 0:11:49but it's actually a dry powder that makes a very sticky, gloopy gum.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Marmosets, in the wild, will feast on the gum or sap of a tree.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55They bite into the bark,
0:11:55 > 0:11:59and then eat the sticky gum that flows out of the tree.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Yum!
0:12:00 > 0:12:04So guys, are we ready to do the marmoset dinner?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06BOTH: Yeah!
0:12:06 > 0:12:09First job is to mix the artificial gum.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Then put it into a log with holes drilled into it.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16That's it. Good girl. Right...
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Add some orange juice to the tasty fruit...
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Cool!
0:12:21 > 0:12:25..then finally, it's time to get their hands dirty!
0:12:25 > 0:12:29If you scrape all that banana in those lovely mealworms!
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Oh, man!
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Banana AND mealworms? Gross!
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- Go on!- Oh, it's all crunchy! Come on, Cassie! Do it.- Ur-rgh!
0:12:38 > 0:12:43- I did more than you!- Come on! - I had to cut the poo as well.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- You've just slopped it everywhere! - She's flicking it on me, now!
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Good work, girls! Those fingers look pretty mucky to me.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Make sure you wash those hands!
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Right, girls. I think we've made that really good, now.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59They'll love that. If I was a marmoset, I'd go for that first.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03With all the mucky jobs done, all that's left now is to wait
0:13:03 > 0:13:07and see if the marmosets will come out to play.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09We'll be back later on!
0:13:11 > 0:13:13So, this is our lovely lake...
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Right! Back up at Half Mile Lake, and Rani's still going strong.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20I must admit, I didn't think she'd do this well.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Now they actually, in the wild, live in salt water.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26So here, to keep them healthy, we actually give them
0:13:26 > 0:13:30slow-release salt tablets so they can keep healthy.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Here, our sea lions will live up to thirty years,
0:13:33 > 0:13:35which is double the amount of time they'd live in the wild,
0:13:35 > 0:13:40and that's because they have such a happy lifestyle and no predators.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Please enjoy the rest of the ride. Thank you.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Woo! - CLAPPING
0:13:45 > 0:13:50- Did I get it all in?- You did, you did fantastic! Absolutely brilliant.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54I can finally breathe. My turn is over. Join us later on the show,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57when Johny will be taking to the microphone. Johny? Nervous?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Confident? - Yeah, confident, yeah. Up for it.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Wicked. See you later.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Back up at the lion house, and it's time for the cubs
0:14:06 > 0:14:08to get their worming medicine,
0:14:08 > 0:14:11and second inoculation against cat flu.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16Head keeper Brian has shown the girls how it should be done.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Now they have to do it themselves for the very first time.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24The team will go into the lion's den without a film crew,
0:14:24 > 0:14:27but they will wear our Roar head cameras,
0:14:27 > 0:14:31so you can see exactly what it's like getting close up to a lion cub.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34First up is Emily.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Grab his tail. Hold it by the neck.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49It's a good catch. Now Duncan, the vet,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52can come in to give the cub its injection.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Duncan uses a stick to keep the cub's mouth open
0:15:06 > 0:15:08for the worming medicine.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Emily did well, now it's Anna's turn.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Mum is getting increasingly anxious,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25which is adding pressure.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30A few last-minute instructions from Brian...
0:15:35 > 0:15:39Well done. That's it, hold it down. Well done.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Anna's done well to catch the cub.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Duncan works quickly, and the job's done.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50That's three cubs vaccinated and just one to go.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53So far, none of the keepers have been injured.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56But the last cub is often the most difficult.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00We'll be back when keeper Cara goes in.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05HYENA LAUGHS
0:16:05 > 0:16:09What do you call a dog that's been lying in the sun?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11A hot dog.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14MAKES CLUCKING SOUNDS
0:16:14 > 0:16:18What do you call a bear who doesn't wash?
0:16:18 > 0:16:19Winnie the Pooh.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22BRAYS LIKE A DONKEY
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- What type of tiles can't we stick on walls?- I don't know.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Reptiles.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Was that meant to be a joke?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Earlier on in the show
0:16:40 > 0:16:42you saw Rani deliver a superb sea lion speech
0:16:42 > 0:16:46and now it's my turn to talk about Nico the gorilla
0:16:46 > 0:16:50and be a boat tour guide, and I'm really, really nervous, actually.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53OK, Johny, let's do this.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Take the microphone, you've done your homework,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58you know Nico. Give it your all!
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Everyone, please, Mr Johny Pitts.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Too kind, too kind. You probably are being too kind, actually.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Ladies and gentlemen, if you look in the centre of the lake
0:17:11 > 0:17:14over here, you'll see an island.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19Now, upon that island is a very special silverback gorilla.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21His name is Nico,
0:17:21 > 0:17:26and he's thought to be one of the oldest gorillas in the entire world.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29'Johny's sounding clear, knowledgeable and funny.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34'We'll have to put a stop to that. He sped me up, so here we go...
0:17:34 > 0:17:37'I'll give him a taste of his own medicine.'
0:17:40 > 0:17:44'Could either of us be good enough to join the boat crew?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46'Join us later for the results.'
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Back at Monkey Temple, and our two Roar Rangers, Molly and Cassie,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01have prepared all the marmoset food.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04And now, all they've got to do
0:18:04 > 0:18:07is hang it up around the enclosure with keeper Joe.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11If you can tip it in... Can you reach? I think they're coming.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Here we go! There we are, if we step back over here...
0:18:15 > 0:18:17and let's see.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22Marmosets are very curious, and even the babies are brave.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25One of them is headed straight for the gum log.
0:18:25 > 0:18:30Look, guys! One of our babies is just in with the gum, there.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Look at his little tongue!
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Oh, no. That's his brother over there, look. The twins.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40We've got one twin in our fruit salad.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44And we have one, the other twin, on our gum, look.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- Are they good jumpers? - They are very agile, yes.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Some marmosets can jump up to five metres,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57which, for their size, is amazing.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Let's see that again.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Crikey! It looks like King Kong's coming for us!
0:19:09 > 0:19:12With the marmosets relaxed and eating away,
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Joe has a treat for the girls.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17What I thought you might like to do, OK, very special,
0:19:17 > 0:19:20is come over that barrier, over the fence, get really up close to them.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22The girls can only cross the barrier
0:19:22 > 0:19:26because they are with a trained keeper, who can keep them safe.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28If you want to take some more of this gum,
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- do you want to put some more in their log?- Yeah.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35They're all right. Put some more in the hole.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I'll hold it up for you, look.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41That's it. They'll get it out.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50They look a bit grumpy.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54And they're having a bad hair day, with their spiky hair.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58It's amazing that you're so close to them
0:19:58 > 0:20:01and they're just looking at you.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04It's been a real privilege for the girls
0:20:04 > 0:20:06to get so close to the marmosets.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07But it's the end of the day now,
0:20:07 > 0:20:11and it's time to find out how they did as Roar Rangers.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Cassie and Molly did a fantastic job. They were two great little chefs.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Cassie was a little bit scared of the mealworms and the waxworms,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21but they're clearly best mates
0:20:21 > 0:20:24and I think together they'll make a great little team.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27So the girls get the thumbs up from Joe,
0:20:27 > 0:20:29but what did they make of their day?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Being a marmoset keeper is really nice,
0:20:32 > 0:20:36because you can get really up close to them and they're so cute.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38They had all that white fluffy hair
0:20:38 > 0:20:42and you could see all their features really clear.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46We're mad for marmosets!
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Right, all you gamers.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00Have you been playing the Roar game on the CBBC website?
0:21:00 > 0:21:03If not, why not? It's fun and easy to start.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Each day we give you a secret cheat code,
0:21:06 > 0:21:09that will unlock treats, new animals
0:21:09 > 0:21:11and even new enclosures.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16Today, it's grass3. Type that in, and see what you get. Happy gaming!
0:21:22 > 0:21:25We're still steaming around Half Mile Lake
0:21:25 > 0:21:28in the great tour guide competition.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Will Johny or I be good enough to join the professionals on board?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35He's still going on. I think the audience looks a bit bored.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Nico's an old man
0:21:38 > 0:21:41who loves nothing more than to watch TV in his spare time.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46He watches TV, and his favourite shows are usually cartoons.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50Anyone guess why we call Nico a silverback gorilla?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Cos he's got a silver back?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Hands up, anyone?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Point for the lady!
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Yes, it's because he has a silver back.
0:21:58 > 0:22:04But because of his age, he has a few more silver hairs on his back
0:22:04 > 0:22:06because he's getting on a little bit. Any questions?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Good.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Johny, I'm wowed. Please give Johny a round of applause.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17OK, how did he do? I was wowed.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20That was absolutely fantastic, you spoke really clearly,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22you engaged with the audience,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24you even added a bit of humility as well,
0:22:24 > 0:22:25so...absolutely brilliant.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27You act surprised.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30So what are we thinking, then, John? Myself? Johny?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32On the boat every day, microphone in hand?
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Put both your strengths together, you become a fantastic team,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38but separately you may have to work on it a little bit.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Is he giving us the brush off? Are you giving us the brush off?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44I'm quite happy about it cos my nerves are wrecked.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Let's join the audience and leave it to the pros.- Thanks very much, John.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Back up at the lion house, and three of the cubs
0:22:59 > 0:23:01have now been vaccinated against cat flu,
0:23:01 > 0:23:05and had their worming treatment.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07LION ROARS
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Now there's just one left and it's Cara's turn to catch him.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21LION GROWLS
0:23:29 > 0:23:31CUB MEWLS
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Finally, the last cub is successfully treated.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Yeah, good.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46- Well done, well done. - The girls have done extremely well.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50The whole operation took only six minutes.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Now, mum and cubs can be reunited.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03That was incredible.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06It went a lot better than I thought it would,
0:24:06 > 0:24:09and I was quite nervous, because I went for the last one,
0:24:09 > 0:24:11but I definitely feel really...
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Lots of adrenaline. I'll be on a high all day now.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19It was quite an adrenaline rush.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22It wasn't as bad we all thought it would be, I think.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23It was a lot easier, yeah.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27I'm really impressed with the girls.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30They went in, did exactly what was asked of them. Really impressed.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34If I remember my first time, it can be very nerve-wracking.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37And I expect they truly were a bit nervous about it.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44The lion cubs are back with mum, and none the worse for wear.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Oh, Mum, she's a bit of a character,
0:24:46 > 0:24:52and I know the nasty little look that she gave me wasn't meant.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Unless they have a medical emergency,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59this is the last time the cubs will be handled
0:24:59 > 0:25:03as any future inoculations will be done with a dart.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09But the cubs still face some difficult challenges.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Next time we see them will be when they go outside
0:25:12 > 0:25:15for the very first time.
0:25:15 > 0:25:21And also it'll be the first time they meet dad, Nibalo, face to face.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Will he recognise them, or attack them?
0:25:40 > 0:25:43That's nearly all we've got time for on today's show,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45but before we leave you, we've popped over
0:25:45 > 0:25:48to meet some of the park's newest arrivals.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51No, we're not talking about deputy head of section, Ryan.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Ryan, who are we here to meet?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54We're here to meet Laurence and Lucinda,
0:25:54 > 0:25:57who are our latest additions to the oryx herd.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59This is Laurence in the foreground.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02I can see one little one, but where's the other little one?
0:26:02 > 0:26:07- Lucinda is... She's just a way back over there.- Oh, OK.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09So, how old are they?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Laurence is about three months old
0:26:11 > 0:26:13and Lucinda is just over a month old.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Because she's only got diddy horns, hasn't she?
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Yeah, yeah. But they grow pretty quick, the oryx horns,
0:26:20 > 0:26:23and can grow up to about a metre, a metre and a half.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26That's some serious spiky stuff, isn't it?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Now, you don't have that many oryx here, do you?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32No. I mean, in the wild they would live in herds...
0:26:32 > 0:26:34When they used to be in the wild, obviously,
0:26:34 > 0:26:37they're suspected to be extinct now, in the wild,
0:26:37 > 0:26:38but up until maybe the '60s, '70s
0:26:38 > 0:26:41there were herds of perhaps 70 animals.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44But before, they reckon there could've been herds of thousands
0:26:44 > 0:26:45when they migrated.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48So it's really exciting that you've got some little ones.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50It's always nice to have new additions to the herd.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Are these the first little ones you've had?
0:26:53 > 0:26:54No, we've had success here before,
0:26:54 > 0:26:56but it took us a few years to get going,
0:26:56 > 0:27:00and now they're breeding, they seem to be really successful every year.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Ryan, it's great to see the little ones,
0:27:02 > 0:27:05but unfortunately we've run out of time, so why don't you lot check out
0:27:05 > 0:27:07what's coming up on the next episode of Roar?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14It's got more legs than eleven football teams...
0:27:14 > 0:27:18- But will the kids catch the keeper offside...- Oh, my goodness.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20..about the giant millipede?
0:27:20 > 0:27:25Why are we giving the giraffes massive ice lollies?
0:27:25 > 0:27:29And, no, it's not just because they've got massive tongues.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31And we'll meet Whippet the owl.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35He's only a baby, but he's already got some fancy moves.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37I am so in love, and I love all this.
