0:00:02 > 0:00:06Today on Roar, the baby rhino is going out with the grown-ups,

0:00:06 > 0:00:09but when the big ones start playing rough,

0:00:09 > 0:00:12the keepers must drive in to save the day.

0:00:12 > 0:00:16So, is that why the baby has fallen in love with the tractor?

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Hello and welcome to Roar. I'm Rani.

0:00:46 > 0:00:50And I'm Johny, and over there is the incredibly cute baby sea lion.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52And I think they've called it Johny.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55I can tell you for sure, it's not called Johny,

0:00:55 > 0:00:59because she is a girl, so more suited to Rani, I think.

0:00:59 > 0:01:00Suited to Rani?

0:01:00 > 0:01:05Why, because she's small, has a huge appetite and makes lots of noise?

0:01:05 > 0:01:09No! Because she's really cute and everybody loves her!

0:01:09 > 0:01:10There's another Rani here?

0:01:10 > 0:01:11RANI GASPS

0:01:11 > 0:01:15Anyway, let's get on with today's show.

0:01:15 > 0:01:19He'll be sorry, cos later on Johny's going to come face to face

0:01:19 > 0:01:23with the creature that stalks his worst nightmares,

0:01:23 > 0:01:26and you'll never believe what it is!

0:01:26 > 0:01:28'We'll have to get tough...'

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Evil laugh, girls! Ha-ha-ha-ha!

0:01:31 > 0:01:34'..to see if the keeper knows what she "otter"...'

0:01:34 > 0:01:35GROAN

0:01:35 > 0:01:38'..about the otters!'

0:01:38 > 0:01:41'And we'll be trying not to get gobbled by Mr Snappy,

0:01:41 > 0:01:44'the greediest gob in the place.'

0:01:49 > 0:01:53But, first, we're going to find out what it's like

0:01:53 > 0:01:56to look after a baby rhino.

0:01:56 > 0:01:57In our last series,

0:01:57 > 0:02:01we were there when a one-year-old rhino named Ebun

0:02:01 > 0:02:04arrived at Longleat from a zoo in Germany.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Hey, Ebun. Good girl, move up.

0:02:06 > 0:02:10She was rejected by her mother soon after she was born,

0:02:10 > 0:02:13so Ebun had to be hand-reared.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17That job was taken over here by keepers Ross and Emma.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20They've become like mum and dad to Ebun,

0:02:20 > 0:02:24- who's now a year and a half old. - There's a good girl, Ebun.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28Like any toddler, her day begins with breakfast.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32This is equivalent to pony nuts. It's like a compound feed.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35This is her breakfast, so we give her one scoop in this.

0:02:35 > 0:02:40These pony nuts are made from compressed grass and grains,

0:02:40 > 0:02:42with extra nutrients added.

0:02:42 > 0:02:46One kilo is enough to get Ebun's morning off to a good start.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49She'll eat every scrap before she leaves.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52We'll open the door but she won't move till she's finished.

0:02:52 > 0:02:57And while she's busy eating, Emma and Ross can work on her skin.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00Rhinos have very thick skin

0:03:00 > 0:03:03and the outer layers constantly die back and have to be removed.

0:03:03 > 0:03:08Adult rhinos rub against logs and rocks to do this,

0:03:08 > 0:03:11but Ebun needs a little help.

0:03:11 > 0:03:16When we scrub her, all we're doing is just getting the dead skin off.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20Also while she's in here we can check her feet, her ears.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23When the skin scrubbing's done, they've got fly spray.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25Here we've got some fly repellent

0:03:25 > 0:03:28and all we do is spray it over different places of Ebun's skin,

0:03:28 > 0:03:30some of the softer areas,

0:03:30 > 0:03:33particularly around the backs of the ears and round the eyes

0:03:33 > 0:03:36and underneath the legs and things, by the armpits.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40Rhinos wallow to cover themselves in mud,

0:03:40 > 0:03:42which acts as a sunscreen

0:03:42 > 0:03:46and also stops flies and ticks from biting them.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49But Ebun isn't very good at wallowing yet.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52So the keepers give her some extra protection.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54We put it round her face a little bit

0:03:54 > 0:03:58and just along the back. She really doesn't like flies.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00When the morning routine is done,

0:04:00 > 0:04:03Ebun can go out in the paddock with the grown-ups.

0:04:05 > 0:04:10The park has four adult white rhino, one male and three females.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14And when they come out, they do what all rhinos do

0:04:14 > 0:04:19in every social situation. Go round sniffing each other's poo.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24While they're busy with that...

0:04:25 > 0:04:29..Emma and Ross can clean up the poo they've left indoors.

0:04:29 > 0:04:33Then it's time to lead all the rhinos out to the Big Game Reserve,

0:04:33 > 0:04:38and that's where looking after Ebun gets tricky.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42Because sometimes the big ones can play rough.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44We'll see what happens later on.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50SNAKE HISSES

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Fear is a strange and terrible thing.

0:04:54 > 0:04:55SCREAM

0:04:55 > 0:04:58Bats give some people the creeps.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01Snakes bring others out in a cold sweat.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05Almost a third of the population suffers from arachnophobia,

0:05:05 > 0:05:08the fear of spiders.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12'I'm fine with all those

0:05:12 > 0:05:15'but there is one creature that gives me the heebie-jeebies,

0:05:15 > 0:05:18'and the name for my fear is mottephobia,

0:05:18 > 0:05:23'the fear of moths and butterflies.

0:05:25 > 0:05:30'I started trying to deal with it in the Butterfly House at the park.'

0:05:30 > 0:05:34I just think that they attack you. I don't like them, don't trust them.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36They're alien-like. I'm not a fan.

0:05:36 > 0:05:41'And I did make some progress but I've got a long way to go.'

0:05:42 > 0:05:46Last year on Roar I faced my fear of butterflies with keeper Gemma,

0:05:46 > 0:05:48and I even managed to hold one.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51This year she's invited me back to the Butterfly House

0:05:51 > 0:05:54and she's here now. Gemma, dare I ask why?

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Well, today, Johny...

0:05:56 > 0:06:00You did such a good thing last year with the butterflies,

0:06:00 > 0:06:04you're going to help me today find the Atlas moth.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07- A moth, OK.- Yeah. - I've dealt with butterflies before,

0:06:07 > 0:06:11so a moth shouldn't be too different because they're basically

0:06:11 > 0:06:13butterflies without the colour, right?

0:06:13 > 0:06:16Yeah, of course! Come with me and we'll try and find...

0:06:16 > 0:06:20You say Atlas moth. What type of moth is that? Is it just...

0:06:20 > 0:06:25Well, this moth in particular has a 25- to 30-centimetre wingspan.

0:06:26 > 0:06:30- Are you kidding? Honestly? - No, honestly, honestly.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34But he's very, very pretty. If you just look to your left...

0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Oh, wow.- And there he is.

0:06:38 > 0:06:39That's not right.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43I'm stuck for words because that is absolutely massive.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Could we just do something? Can we put your hand next it to judge it,

0:06:46 > 0:06:50just so people at home know how big that is, the scale?

0:06:50 > 0:06:51Yes, of course.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53That's a moth as big as your hand.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56If you'd like me to, I can pick him up

0:06:56 > 0:06:59and you can have a closer look at him as well.

0:06:59 > 0:07:00Like?

0:07:00 > 0:07:04I don't know what that word means exactly in this instance,

0:07:04 > 0:07:07but, yeah, I suppose the guys at home will want to see it, so, yeah.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Definitely. Here you go, then.

0:07:09 > 0:07:14- Is it going to fly?- He might, but only because I'm touching him.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18He might think, "Get away!" But he'll flutter off somewhere else.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20So he won't try and fly in my mouth or anything?

0:07:20 > 0:07:22No, he won't fly in your mouth.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25'Moths and butterflies are very delicate,

0:07:25 > 0:07:28'so you shouldn't touch them unless you're with someone

0:07:28 > 0:07:31'who knows what they're doing, like Gemma.'

0:07:31 > 0:07:36- Oh, man! What are those things on its head?- That's the antennae there.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40They're just so weird! It's like he's got tiger markings.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42Whilst you've brought up the markings,

0:07:42 > 0:07:46if you look at the end of the wings, they look like snake heads.

0:07:46 > 0:07:51- Yes, they do a little bit. - You see they've got the eyes?- Yes!

0:07:51 > 0:07:55Out in the wild, if they're left like this it looks like two snakes,

0:07:55 > 0:07:59but when they close their wings it's like a snake ready to strike.

0:07:59 > 0:08:03- That's incredible! Whoa, whoa, whoa! - Sorry! Don't worry, he's fine.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Oh, yes!

0:08:07 > 0:08:12Wow! Well, I tell you what, it is an amazing animal.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Did you want to have a go at maybe holding him?

0:08:15 > 0:08:19You did so well last year with the pupa, the wiggly pupa.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22You know what? Last year it was cool and I felt like I broke some ground.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30I've never done this before on Roar,

0:08:30 > 0:08:33but I'm going to say no, I don't want to hold it.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35But I will touch it. I think one step at a time

0:08:35 > 0:08:40- and maybe next time I'll hold it. - OK, yeah. That's fair enough.- OK.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44With tarantulas and stuff you touch them and they don't usually move.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47That's what I'm worried about here, that it'll fly off.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49He won't if you do it gently enough.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52That's it, yeah. Just on the end, fine.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55There you are.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57See, he's touching you there.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00That's actually all right, you know?

0:09:00 > 0:09:03That's all right. It's so soft.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07- It's like his wings are made of velvet, isn't it?- Definitely.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09I am glad that I managed to touch it,

0:09:09 > 0:09:12and even though I'm quite freaked out by these guys,

0:09:12 > 0:09:15they are incredible animals, aren't they?

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Definitely, yeah. And maybe next time?

0:09:17 > 0:09:22- I'll touch it? Next time, OK.- Maybe you'll hold him.- Maybe next time.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29LAUGHTER

0:09:29 > 0:09:32What do you call a dog crossed with a phone?

0:09:32 > 0:09:33PHONE RINGS

0:09:33 > 0:09:35A golden receiver.

0:09:35 > 0:09:40THEY OINK LIKE A PIG

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Why did a pig cross the road?

0:09:42 > 0:09:45Cos the chicken was on its lunch break.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47HE HISSES LIKE A SNAKE

0:09:47 > 0:09:51What kind of key opens a banana?

0:09:51 > 0:09:52A monkey!

0:09:52 > 0:09:57LAUGHTER

0:09:59 > 0:10:02MONKEY SCREECHES

0:10:02 > 0:10:04When it comes to mischief,

0:10:04 > 0:10:10the park's troop of Rhesus macaque monkeys really take the biscuit.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12When they get bored,

0:10:12 > 0:10:16they amuse themselves by pulling bits off the visitors' cars.

0:10:16 > 0:10:20To distract them the keepers recently built a new climbing frame,

0:10:20 > 0:10:24but the monkeys still need to be encouraged to use it.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27I'm out here in Monkey Jungle with deputy head of section Ryan.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Hi.- Hiya.- We're putting out treats for the monkeys.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32- We have monkey nuts here, yes? - Yes.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35We've got fruit. You can see bananas sticking out.

0:10:35 > 0:10:39We have a camera in place to catch all the action.

0:10:39 > 0:10:43Look, up there on a climbing frame is a Rhesus macaque monkey

0:10:43 > 0:10:45and they are eager to get their treats.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48Is it right we need to get into that truck for safety?

0:10:48 > 0:10:50- Cos here he comes! - I think so.- Yeah?

0:10:50 > 0:10:55And we can have a good old chat. OK, let's go, let's go, let's go!

0:10:55 > 0:10:59Ryan, within seconds of us getting into the truck

0:10:59 > 0:11:02- this Rhesus macaque is there. He's got bananas already.- Yeah.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05They were desperate for that fruit!

0:11:05 > 0:11:08They're very brave when it comes to food being around.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11And how they were dangling off the climbing frame.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14He's just gone straight up there! That was really good.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17Jumped straight off the ground onto the bag.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19Every monkey's like a little gymnast.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22Even the old ones still manage to get around

0:11:22 > 0:11:24and do the stuff that the young ones do.

0:11:24 > 0:11:29Now loads have appeared. There was one before and look at that!

0:11:29 > 0:11:32Generally it's the young males. They're the really brave ones.

0:11:32 > 0:11:36Once all the fruit has gone that's sticking out of the bag,

0:11:36 > 0:11:39will they lose interest or delve through the hay to try to find more?

0:11:39 > 0:11:43To be honest, they're the most inquisitive animals I've worked with

0:11:43 > 0:11:47so I can't imagine that just cos they can't see something

0:11:47 > 0:11:50they won't delve around in there. It's like a big lucky dip for them.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53They'll get some enjoyment from delving in there

0:11:53 > 0:11:56and maybe getting hold of something, maybe not.

0:11:56 > 0:12:00I don't think they'll give up until every last piece has gone.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03- It's been fab to see them in action. Success?- Definitely, Rani.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Could we see some more monkeying around this series?

0:12:06 > 0:12:09I think there's every chance of that.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26Out in the big game park, Ebun, the rhino toddler

0:12:26 > 0:12:29has some important lessons to learn.

0:12:29 > 0:12:36She and the adults spend most of their time here, grazing quietly.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39But they can get boisterous,

0:12:39 > 0:12:42and when a couple of two-tonne rhinos play rough...

0:12:42 > 0:12:44the earth shakes.

0:12:45 > 0:12:51You can see why the proper word for a group of rhinos is a crash.

0:12:51 > 0:12:55And when you consider that the rhinos share this area

0:12:55 > 0:12:57with eleven Ankole cattle,

0:12:57 > 0:12:59eight camels,

0:12:59 > 0:13:01six scimitar-horned oryx,

0:13:01 > 0:13:02six Pere David deer,

0:13:02 > 0:13:06four ostrich and a constant stream of cars full of visitors,

0:13:06 > 0:13:11you can see that somebody needs to be in there, keeping everybody safe.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15Today, Emma is the keeper on patrol.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18There are a number of things we don't want the rhino to do.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22Rubbing on the fences, getting too close to the gates and things.

0:13:22 > 0:13:27We have a radius, an area round the gates where we don't want any animal,

0:13:27 > 0:13:31particularly the rhinos, getting too close to the gates.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35Sometimes there's a bit of friction amongst the species.

0:13:35 > 0:13:39- If we need to move the rhino, they need to move.- And the only way

0:13:39 > 0:13:41is with one of these -

0:13:41 > 0:13:42a tractor.

0:13:45 > 0:13:49Most of the time, the patrollers just sit and watch the animals,

0:13:49 > 0:13:52but at the first sign of what could become trouble,

0:13:52 > 0:13:54they spring into action.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01For example, it's safer for everybody

0:14:01 > 0:14:05if the rhinos don't get too close to the cars.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10The tractor doesn't shove the rhino away,

0:14:10 > 0:14:12it's more like shooing them along,

0:14:12 > 0:14:16and the adult rhinos understand perfectly what's expected.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19Some of the rhino know they're being naughty,

0:14:19 > 0:14:20especially Rzeena.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24So you can pull up, give a little rev of the engine,

0:14:24 > 0:14:27and just move forward into their space and push them away.

0:14:29 > 0:14:33Whereas with Ebun, she's a bit more friendly with the tractor.

0:14:33 > 0:14:37You have to get pretty close and she still won't move.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40The problem is, Ebun doesn't want to avoid the tractor.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43She sometimes follows it around!

0:14:43 > 0:14:45It's as if she's fallen in love with it.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Because Ebun would still be with her mum,

0:14:50 > 0:14:53and obviously she isn't, she has been hand-reared,

0:14:53 > 0:14:58in a way she will see the tractor as sort of a comfort, say a mum or dad,

0:14:58 > 0:15:01in that we will tell her what she can and can't do,

0:15:01 > 0:15:06as well as backing off and letting her enjoy being with the other rhino.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08That's why perhaps when the tractor does move away

0:15:08 > 0:15:12and tries to deal with other situations

0:15:12 > 0:15:13that she may follow it.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16Hopefully, this is a phase she's going through

0:15:16 > 0:15:19and soon Ebun will become less fond of the tractor.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22Then it should be easier to keep her safe.

0:15:28 > 0:15:32Having Ebun out here does make a lot of work for the keepers,

0:15:32 > 0:15:34but they really don't mind.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37I feel very privileged to look after Ebun.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40I suppose there is a certain amount of pressure on me

0:15:40 > 0:15:44because I am playing mum, but it is very, very enjoyable.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46It's a treat, as a keeper, to be able to look after

0:15:46 > 0:15:50such a young and cute animal such as Ebun. I do think she's cute.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52How can anyone not think she's cute?

0:15:52 > 0:15:56And later on, we'll see just how cute a baby rhino can be,

0:15:56 > 0:16:00when it's time to put Ebun to bed.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18It's Ask The Keeper time, and I'm here with the giggling gang.

0:16:18 > 0:16:22See what I mean? But will keeper Bev will laughing

0:16:22 > 0:16:25after we ask her questions about the otters? So who's first, girls?

0:16:25 > 0:16:27What part of Asia do they come from?

0:16:27 > 0:16:29They come from throughout, really.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32You can get them in Malaysia, Bangladesh.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35You can get them in south China as well.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37So all over.

0:16:37 > 0:16:41And they live by shallow streams, by rivers and things like that.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44- Are they endangered? - They are classed as vulnerable.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46Not endangered as such.

0:16:46 > 0:16:50- Can they be aggressive?- Yes. You've got to be careful when you go in,

0:16:50 > 0:16:52because they are a wild animal.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54- Can we feed them?- Yes, sure.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56Like to feed them some mealworms?

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Or you've got some peanuts, if you'd prefer.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01All you have to do is throw it over the glass towards them.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04Hopefully they'll see them. There we are.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07That's it. That's it. Well done.

0:17:07 > 0:17:12So, any other questions, while we're feeding these otters, for Bev?

0:17:12 > 0:17:14Don't forget we need to find out what Bev knows.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16How long is their average lifetime?

0:17:16 > 0:17:21In captivity, they can live up to 15 years. We had one called Johnny,

0:17:21 > 0:17:23and he was about 15 when he died.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26OK, gigglers, I want your mean faces,

0:17:26 > 0:17:29because it's Killer Question time.

0:17:29 > 0:17:32Come on, guys.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40EVIL LAUGH

0:17:43 > 0:17:46- Right, Killer Question time. Bev, are you ready?- OK, go for it.

0:17:46 > 0:17:50OK, here we go. Now, the longest a human has held their breath for

0:17:50 > 0:17:54is an incredible 19 minutes and two seconds.

0:17:54 > 0:17:55What we want to know is,

0:17:55 > 0:17:59how long on average can an otter hold their breath for?

0:17:59 > 0:18:00Ooh...

0:18:00 > 0:18:02Hold your breaths.

0:18:05 > 0:18:06I'll have to hurry you up, Bev,

0:18:06 > 0:18:09because we're all holding our breaths here.

0:18:09 > 0:18:10Three minutes?

0:18:12 > 0:18:14You say three minutes.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17Well, the correct answer is actually double that.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19An otter can hold its breath for six to eight minutes.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21Evil laugh, girls.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23EVIL LAUGHTER

0:18:26 > 0:18:29Overall, evil laughs aside, how do you think Bev did?

0:18:29 > 0:18:31Thumbs up or thumbs down?

0:18:31 > 0:18:35- Thumbs up all round from the giggly gang.- Thank you.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45Otters are good at holding their breath,

0:18:45 > 0:18:48but Californian sea lions are even better.

0:18:48 > 0:18:53To hunt for fish, they can dive well over 250 metres deep

0:18:53 > 0:18:56and hold their breath for more than ten minutes.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59To help them conserve oxygen while they're under water,

0:18:59 > 0:19:04their heart rate slows down from about 95 beats per minute,

0:19:04 > 0:19:06which sounds like this...

0:19:06 > 0:19:08STEADY BEAT

0:19:08 > 0:19:11..to just 20, which sounds like this.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14SLOW BEAT

0:19:26 > 0:19:29One of the newest animals at the park are the prairie dogs.

0:19:29 > 0:19:34They're a kind of rodent and not related to dogs at all.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37There are 17 of them here, and in our last show

0:19:37 > 0:19:42we followed the action when they moved into a spacious new enclosure

0:19:42 > 0:19:46filled with lots of lovely plants for them to enjoy.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Well, I've heard of ungrateful,

0:19:48 > 0:19:51but apparently the prairie dogs are taking this to a new level.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54Since moving into their new home, John says they've destroyed it.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57John, I've got to admit, it looks all right to me.

0:19:57 > 0:20:01Nice trees, a bit of grass - and there's a prairie dog just there!

0:20:01 > 0:20:02Popping out to say, "It's lovely, John."

0:20:02 > 0:20:06I can't deny that they haven't landscaped it how they like,

0:20:06 > 0:20:09but before, it was nice and lush, there was lots of grass,

0:20:09 > 0:20:11there were lots of plants growing,

0:20:11 > 0:20:15and now they've cut it back and there's a lot of mud.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18OK, so how did the prairie dogs cut it back?

0:20:18 > 0:20:21- Did you give them some tools? - No, they've got very sharp teeth.

0:20:21 > 0:20:25Basically, they spent a couple of weeks harvesting it,

0:20:25 > 0:20:26and then it was gone.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29- It was gone.- All right. They've had their fun,

0:20:29 > 0:20:32so now I'm here to help you make it look more beautiful.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35And I see you've got lovely plants for us to plant.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38Yes, lots of grasses for them to destroy.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41All right, let's go for it, then.

0:20:41 > 0:20:45That's good. That's a nice, good hole there.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48- I'll just loosen up the roots. - Break up the roots a little.

0:20:48 > 0:20:52Break up the roots a bit. OK. And in it goes.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54So, planting this in.

0:20:54 > 0:20:58Now, realistically, are they going to come and chew this straightaway?

0:20:58 > 0:21:01Give it a day or so

0:21:01 > 0:21:03and it will be gone.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06- So what's the pleasure for them? - That is what they eat in the wild.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08They come from the prairies out in America.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11They eat the grasses and plants that grow out there,

0:21:11 > 0:21:14just scrubland basically. That's what they love to eat.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Why don't you just give them more food?

0:21:16 > 0:21:20It's not just the grass they use for eating. They also grab it,

0:21:20 > 0:21:22take it into their tunnels which they've made

0:21:22 > 0:21:24and use it for nesting material.

0:21:24 > 0:21:29So it's not just the fact they eat it, they use it for nesting as well.

0:21:29 > 0:21:33Well, John, I think these two plants have made quite a nice start.

0:21:33 > 0:21:37It was really fun helping you out.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40- There's more.- There is more. - There's always more, isn't there?

0:21:40 > 0:21:42- There's loads! - There's a lot more.

0:21:42 > 0:21:46Well, it looks like me and John have got our work cut out for us.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48So why don't you enjoy the rest of the show

0:21:48 > 0:21:50and I'll make the place look beautiful?

0:21:50 > 0:21:53- Come on, dig, then. dig! - All right, all right!

0:21:59 > 0:22:02OK, you gamers, here's today cheat code.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04It's sand80.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06If you don't know what we're talking about,

0:22:06 > 0:22:11just check out the Roar online game on the CBBC website.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13You'll be glad you did.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25After a full day out in the park,

0:22:25 > 0:22:29rhino toddler Ebun is ready for bed.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32If she was with her mum, she'd be getting mother's milk

0:22:32 > 0:22:37but here it's up to the keepers to get Ebun her bedtime drink.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43So Ross is getting her baby bottle ready.

0:22:43 > 0:22:47What we do is we make a mixture of whey powder and milk powder,

0:22:47 > 0:22:52pretty much the same as a normal baby would have but on a larger scale.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00Put the cold water in. Just stir it through.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04When she was younger, Ebun had five of these bottles a day

0:23:04 > 0:23:07which adds up to 12 litres of milk.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10That's enough to feed 24 human babies.

0:23:10 > 0:23:14But now she's growing up and needs to be weaned off milk.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17- So she's down to just one bottle. - She loves it.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21When we go in, she'll be ready and waiting, squeaking around,

0:23:21 > 0:23:23waiting for her milk to come in.

0:23:23 > 0:23:27If she was at the other end of the field and she saw the bottle,

0:23:27 > 0:23:30she'd be straight down. She loves it that much.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33We're ready. I'm going to put it in a bottle.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40A baby bottle would be a lot smaller than this.

0:23:40 > 0:23:45About half the size but this is a rhino bottle. So proper job.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47Milk's ready. Let's go.

0:23:51 > 0:23:57EBUN SLURPS MILK

0:23:57 > 0:24:00We've seen some big babies on Roar

0:24:00 > 0:24:05but this must be the biggest bottle-feeding baby ever.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07She weighs almost a tonne

0:24:07 > 0:24:11and Ebun still manages to be cute. Amazing.

0:24:11 > 0:24:17SLURP, SLURP, SLURP

0:24:17 > 0:24:21It takes less than 30 seconds to polish off enough milk

0:24:21 > 0:24:25to keep a human baby going for two days.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32And when it's gone, she spots the Roar cameraman.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34Better get out of there, Adam!

0:24:39 > 0:24:44But now with a final snack of fresh hay, it's bedtime for Ebun.

0:24:46 > 0:24:50She's had her milk now. That'll see her off to sleep.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52She'll finish her hard feed

0:24:52 > 0:24:56and then she'll be sparked out and we'll see her in the morning.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58Isn't that right, Ebun?

0:24:58 > 0:25:01Night-night, see you later, Ebun.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04That's it for today

0:25:04 > 0:25:07but we'll catch up with Ebun later in the series

0:25:07 > 0:25:11when she faces the next big challenge of growing up.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17# When I see your face

0:25:19 > 0:25:23# There's not a thing that I would change

0:25:23 > 0:25:26# Cos you're amazing

0:25:26 > 0:25:28# Just the way you are

0:25:32 > 0:25:35# And when you smile

0:25:35 > 0:25:40# The whole world stops and stares for a while

0:25:40 > 0:25:44# Cos, girl, you're amazing

0:25:44 > 0:25:47# Just the way you are... #

0:25:47 > 0:25:49It is almost time to leave you.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52But before we do, we've come to see Sarah

0:25:52 > 0:25:54and her lovely group of pelicans.

0:25:54 > 0:25:58I say lovely, but they can be a bit aggressive sometimes.

0:25:58 > 0:26:02- Are we safe here, Sarah? - You're perfectly safe, Johny.

0:26:02 > 0:26:07Oh, Johny. Oh, no, I've got fish in my face, I've got fish in my face!

0:26:07 > 0:26:11- Who's this then?- This is our little troublemaker of the group.

0:26:11 > 0:26:15- This is one of our hand-reared pelicans.- It's Mr Snappy!

0:26:15 > 0:26:19I have to admit, I love Mr Snappy. I've never been snapped by him

0:26:19 > 0:26:22but there is something about the way he comes out here

0:26:22 > 0:26:26all bolshie, snaps at us, and we can't help but feed him.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29OK, then, baggy mouth, you'll eat all the fish

0:26:29 > 0:26:31unless we throw it to everyone else.

0:26:31 > 0:26:35I've got to say, I am slightly in love with Mr Snappy.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38I seem to have some sort of affinity with him.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40Yeah, you've both got a big mouth.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42GASP!

0:26:42 > 0:26:44Well, on that note,

0:26:44 > 0:26:48I think I should say goodbye for today's episode.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51Check out what's coming up on the next episode of Roar.

0:26:55 > 0:26:59Coming up next time, Joseph the baby wallaby, who had to be hand-reared,

0:26:59 > 0:27:02must learn to join in with the others.

0:27:02 > 0:27:07But will he stay close to mum or hop along with the mob?

0:27:08 > 0:27:12A dream comes true for Ethan the Roar ranger.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14Absolutely amazing.

0:27:14 > 0:27:17I can't describe it. I've always wanted to do this.

0:27:21 > 0:27:26And 30 wolves must be given medicine but they'll do anything to avoid it.

0:27:26 > 0:27:27Here!

0:27:27 > 0:27:31The stage is set for an epic struggle.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33It's keepers versus wolves.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35So, who's going to win?

0:27:35 > 0:27:37WOLVES HOWL
