0:00:02 > 0:00:05Today on Roar, 13 wolves must be given medicine
0:00:05 > 0:00:08but they'll do anything to avoid it.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12The stage is set for an epic struggle.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15It's keepers versus wolves, so who's going to win?
0:00:15 > 0:00:18WOLVES HOWL
0:00:44 > 0:00:48- Hello and welcome to an "ape-mazing" episode of Roar.- I'm Rani.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52And I'm Johny, and just over there is Nico, the incredible gorilla.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Oh, yes. Now we all know he loves watching telly,
0:00:54 > 0:00:56but does he like watching Roar yet?
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Didn't you know, Nico is MY biggest fan?
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Really? You know what, Johny, you'd better go and do some work
0:01:02 > 0:01:05so he's got something to watch and I'll just take in the view.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08I think he prefers you really.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16Coming up today, Joseph, the baby wallaby who had to be hand-reared,
0:01:16 > 0:01:18must learn to join in with the others,
0:01:18 > 0:01:22but will he stay close to mum or hop along with the mob?
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Chameleons have amazing eyes but they can't see still water,
0:01:27 > 0:01:31so how do you give one a drink?
0:01:31 > 0:01:36And a dream comes true for Ethan, the Roar Ranger.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Absolutely amazing. I can't describe it. I've always wanted to do this.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53But we're starting in Wolf Wood
0:01:53 > 0:01:56because an epic battle is about to begin.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58The park's pack of 13 wolves
0:01:58 > 0:02:02is usually left to enjoy their huge enclosure in peace.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07But not today.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14A special task force has been mobilised...
0:02:14 > 0:02:16You've got to surprise them.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19..to take on the biggest,
0:02:19 > 0:02:23fastest and smartest gang of hunters in the place.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24It's man versus beast, I think.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Because today is wolf worming day!
0:02:30 > 0:02:33WOLVES HOWL
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Once every three months, the wolves need to be given medicine
0:02:40 > 0:02:44to get rid of microscopic worms that live in their guts.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51It's a common condition. Pet dogs and cats get exactly the same thing.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Most of the time, these worms aren't a problem,
0:02:54 > 0:02:58but they can build up and make the wolves very sick.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00The keepers tried every possible way
0:03:00 > 0:03:03to give them the worming medicine,
0:03:03 > 0:03:05but the wolves just never cooperate.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10You can't really put it in their feed outside
0:03:10 > 0:03:12because it would be a little bit hit and miss
0:03:12 > 0:03:16on how many would get worming because of the way they feed at the carcass.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Get the sticks.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24So the plan is to herd the wolves back inside their house
0:03:24 > 0:03:27where the vet will be able to treat them one by one.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Don't back down from them.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32If they look like they're running at you, make yourself look big.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34The only way to do that is to get out on foot,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37inside the wolf enclosure,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40which is not a good idea unless you're a fully trained keeper.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43It's one of these jobs that will either take five minutes,
0:03:43 > 0:03:44or most of the day.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48So, it's 13 wolves versus a team of eight keepers.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53I reckon the keepers don't stand a chance.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Go on!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
0:04:07 > 0:04:10So how DO you round up a wolf pack?
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Come on, you silly, silly wolf!
0:04:11 > 0:04:15And who's going to win the battle of Wolf Wood?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Find out later on.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Earlier in the series, we followed the story of Joseph,
0:04:29 > 0:04:33the baby wallaby who was found all alone in Wallaby Wood.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36He'd been abandoned by his mum and no-one knows why.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42It didn't look that great. He was shaking.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46He was cold and he just was losing strength, really.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52But the keepers managed to warm him up and get him fed.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56After that, it was up to Polly and Bev to share the role of foster mum.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02They had to give him his first hopping lessons.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05And to look after him day and night.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10Now, the last time I met the adorable wallaby baby Joseph
0:05:10 > 0:05:12was when his foster mum, Polly, was giving him a feed.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Well, today, I'm with his other foster mummy, Bev,
0:05:15 > 0:05:19and we're taking him to Wallaby Wood for an outing, is that right?
0:05:19 > 0:05:20We are, hoping to get him out and about
0:05:20 > 0:05:22and hopping around with the other ones.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25We say out and about, where is little Joseph?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27He's in the pouch, in the rucksack, I am carrying him.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30I can't see, Bev, is he awake or is he asleep?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32He looks sleepy, but I think he's pretending,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- I'm sure he'll come out for hopping. - We're taking him to Wallaby Wood. - Yeah.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Hey, walls.- Hey, walls.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42- Come, walls.- Come, walls.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44BEV LAUGHS
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I like to get into the keeper role, me. Come on, walls.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53Now, this one, Bev, is clawing away. I think he's eager to get out.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Is he? Well, he's been up here a few times.- Right.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58So he does know what he's supposed to be doing.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- Shall I put him down? - Yeah, that's fine.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- Here we go, then. He's getting a little bit heavy.- There he is.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07(Where is he?) Oh, his little head's popping out. Hello, you.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Sometimes he needs a bit of encouragement.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13But if we just let him have a look around first, he can see where he is.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Some of the walls are coming over, so that's good.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Oops! our first hop. He has got big feet, hasn't he?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25He has, we think he's grown really loads, absolutely loads.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28But the thing that's got the biggest, is his feet.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31And his tail's just getting more and more massive.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33So, Joseph's, what, 6 1/2 months, now.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- That's right. - So, what's next for him?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37We'll do a lot more getting out, hopping about,
0:06:37 > 0:06:41trying to get him onto solids more, whilst cutting his milk feeds down,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43which we're going to start to do next week.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48And just generally getting up and running, really, and all grown up.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51So, hopefully, within the next two, maybe three months tops,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53he'll be out here fully.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Do you think he would get nervous if, say, you hid behind a tree
0:06:56 > 0:06:59for a bit, to see how he did. Does he always like to come back to you?
0:06:59 > 0:07:03To be honest, I don't think so. He's incredibly independent.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- That's what I was thinking. - He doesn't care I feed him, love him,
0:07:06 > 0:07:08wash him. He just does his own thing.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- It sounds like you're going to slightly miss him.- I think so, yes.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14He's causing havoc at my house, he's learned to hop on sofas
0:07:14 > 0:07:17and he wees in the most inappropriate places.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20But apart from that, you know, you'll miss him when he's gone.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- It's going to be a bit sad. - You can come and visit.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27But I don't think he cares, if I'm honest. He's just hopping away.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Bye, Joseph! Your pouch is here when you want it.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34What are you doing? Where are you going?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36See, this is Bev being overprotective mummy.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Cos Joseph is just running away. Here's having the time of his life.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41See you later, Joseph!
0:07:41 > 0:07:43SHE LAUGHS
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Ah, you see, Bev, he's absolutely loving it.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53You have raised a very confident, very lovely wallaby.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Thank you so much for letting us pop along.- That's all right.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58And we'll see you again, hey, Joseph?
0:08:06 > 0:08:10With their huge feet, wallabies are brilliant at hopping
0:08:10 > 0:08:13but they can't hop backwards.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17So, if you ever see them doing this,
0:08:17 > 0:08:19it's not real.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Somebody's just running the film backwards.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Back in Wolf Wood, it's time to round up the pack
0:08:33 > 0:08:35so they can be given their worming medicine.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Come on.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Hey! Come on.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42The keepers must guide the 13 wolves,
0:08:42 > 0:08:44one by one, into the wolf house.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48That area there, is where we want to catch them.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Inside the house are two keepers controlling the gate to let them in.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55The other keepers are out in the woods.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00Some of the keepers have sticks but they're just to wave about,
0:09:00 > 0:09:02not to defend themselves.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Because wolves do run away from galumphing great keepers,
0:09:06 > 0:09:10flailing their arms about and making a racket.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Steady.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Come on. Good boy. IN!
0:09:15 > 0:09:19As a wolf comes to the house, there are two gates to close.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20One for the outside yard
0:09:20 > 0:09:24and another for the house itself.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28But the wolves are playing hard to get.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- In.- Come on, you, you so-and-so.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Steve lost count on how many's gone in.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39It's happening so fast, you've got wolves everywhere.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Wolves have incredible stamina.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46If they wanted to, they could run around all day,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48unlike the keepers.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Gets the heart beating, I tell you.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52Come on, you! Get in.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54WHISTLES
0:09:54 > 0:09:56All the wolves and all the keepers
0:09:56 > 0:09:59have been through this many times before.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01In fact,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03it's almost a game.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Get here.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09In!
0:10:10 > 0:10:13When they've had a few laps, they just think,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16"What's the point in carrying on running? I'll just go in,
0:10:16 > 0:10:17"cos I'll be back out, shortly."
0:10:17 > 0:10:22They know that when they go in there, they're not going to get hurt.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24There's one in, Amy.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Almost all the wolves are now inside
0:10:29 > 0:10:33but that doesn't mean the keepers are winning,
0:10:33 > 0:10:37because the craftiest one of the lot is still on the loose.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Nobby. It's going to be a long day.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45ROAR
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Where do dogs go when they lose their tails?
0:10:49 > 0:10:50The retail store.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54THEY MAKE CHATTERING NOISES
0:10:54 > 0:10:56There's two cows in a field.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00One cow says to the other, "What do you think of this mad cow disease?"
0:11:00 > 0:11:02So the other one says back,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04"It doesn't really bother me, I'm a duck."
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Baa!
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- What kind of eggs do confused chickens lay?- I don't know.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Scrambled eggs.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14LOUD LAUGHTER
0:11:23 > 0:11:24Ladies and gentlemen,
0:11:24 > 0:11:25boys and girls,
0:11:25 > 0:11:27before your very eyes,
0:11:27 > 0:11:31our Raw Ranger is budding magician, Ethan, who's 10.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36He's sharp, but can he figure out what he'll be doing today,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38just from these two objects?
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Clue number one -
0:11:39 > 0:11:41a set of scales.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44Scale.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Normally be used to detect how heavy animals or insects are
0:11:50 > 0:11:56and it's most commonly used on snakes.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Yes, snakes do have scales. But is he right?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- You'll have to- weight- and see.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Here's clue two.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06The kind of glove that's called a gauntlet.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12Straight away, I already know this involves birds.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Ethan seems to have two very different guesses.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19So, will it be snakes or birds?
0:12:21 > 0:12:24DRUMROLL
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Great!
0:12:26 > 0:12:28I've always wanted to be a falconer,
0:12:28 > 0:12:30ever since I was in year two.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35A falconer is someone who works not just with falcons,
0:12:35 > 0:12:37but all sorts of birds of prey,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40hawks, eagles, owls, and even vultures.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45They use a method of training that allows the bird to fly free
0:12:45 > 0:12:46out in the open.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51It's called falconry and people have been flying birds this way
0:12:51 > 0:12:53since ancient times.
0:12:55 > 0:13:01So, Ethan really is in for a treat. He'll be helping falconer, Jimmy.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Hello.- Hello.- How you doing? What's your name?- Ethan.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Ethan, you're here to help me for the day, aren't you?- Yeah.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09OK, right, we're going to work with this bird today.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Its name is Mulberry. Do you know what type of owl she is?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- Barn owl.- She is a barn owl, very, very good.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Barn owls can be found on every continent except Antarctica.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21THE OWL SHRIEKS
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Because of the spooky sound it makes,
0:13:24 > 0:13:29in some countries the barn owl is also known as the death owl.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32THUNDERCLAP
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Come off it, she's so cute.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Mulberry is seven years old and was hand-raised by Jimmy
0:13:40 > 0:13:41and his team.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43OK, so this is yours for the day.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45This is your own falconry glove.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49So, if you hold your arm out to the side
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I'm going to get her to step over.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57So, we'll get her to take one little step. And then another step.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58OK, happy?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- What do you think, have you ever heard a barn owl before?- No.- No.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Absolutely amazing. I can't describe it.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06I've always wanted to do this.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Mulberry looks ready to go, but first they're going to weigh her
0:14:12 > 0:14:15to make sure she's in good condition to fly.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19We're going to use, quite simply, the little set of scales, just here.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Go towards the scales like this
0:14:21 > 0:14:24and she'll quite happily sit on them.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Can you read what that says on there?- 0.9 1/2.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Yeah, 0.9 1/2.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33There are lots of traditions in falconry,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36and they still use the old system of pounds and ounces.
0:14:36 > 0:14:409 1/2 ounces is 270 grams.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43That's less than a medium-sized pack of biccies.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46But it's a good weight for Mulberry.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Now they're ready to go.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Ethan has never done this before, so, when he lets go,
0:14:52 > 0:14:54will Mulberry fly free?
0:14:54 > 0:14:57And more to the point, will she come back?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59We'll find out very soon.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11Back in Wolf Wood, there are now just two wolves on the loose.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Nobby is the omega wolf.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15He is the lowest one in the pack's pecking order,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18but he is the craftiest.
0:15:18 > 0:15:24The wisest one at the moment is that one there. He is the omega animal.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27He's just stood there. He's got all his energy left.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Where all the others have been running around,
0:15:29 > 0:15:31he's just stood there and watched us.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Come on, you! Come here! Nobby!
0:15:35 > 0:15:42Hey! Get in. Nobby! Go on. Oh, you. Nobby!
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Go on. Don't do that.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Come on, get in, get in. Go! All right!
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Just one left. Go on, go.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59But there is still one more.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06The last one is always the most stubborn one to come in.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10They can't give up because every last wolf must be wormed.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12In order to worm them successfully,
0:16:12 > 0:16:17you have to worm every single member of the pack.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20So we've got to get him in to do it. There's no two ways about it.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25But have they got the stamina to catch the last wolf standing?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27This game ain't over yet.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46Keeper Kim has requested that I come down to an area of the park
0:16:46 > 0:16:48I usually try to avoid. It's the butterfly house.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I'm a little bit scared of butterflies,
0:16:50 > 0:16:54and it's really hot in here. Kim, you better have a good excuse.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57I've got a very good excuse. I wanted you to meet Dante.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- Wow! Who is this?- He's a panther chameleon.- A panther chameleon?!
0:17:01 > 0:17:03He is incredible.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05You know, I think this is the first time I've ever seen
0:17:05 > 0:17:07a chameleon in the flesh.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11I never knew chameleons had these crazy hands -
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- what's that all about? - He's got very special feet.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18He's got two toes that point one side and three that go the other.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21It allows him to hold on to branches and stuff.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Can I try giving him a handshake? Look at that.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28Lovely to meet you too, Dante! I've just given a chameleon a handshake!
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- I love that.- He might walk on to you now so let him carry on.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Wow. Oh, his hands are really strange.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- Is he going to walk up my arm? - Possibly. They like to be high up,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39so sometimes he does tend to disappear up your shoulder.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- Is there a chance he might drop off?- No.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45I presume you haven't just brought me for a meeting.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48You always want me to do something, Kim.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51We're going to give Dante a drink today.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53We brought him into the butterfly house
0:17:53 > 0:17:57because obviously it's nice and warm here. Dante comes from Madagascar,
0:17:57 > 0:17:58which is obviously very hot.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02So it's quite nice for him to be in here, as it's a bit chilly outside.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04So how are we going to give him a drink?
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- A little bowl like you give a dog to drink?- No.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Dante finds it very difficult to see water if it's not moving
0:18:10 > 0:18:13or if the light isn't reflecting off it.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15So we have to give him water in a special way,
0:18:15 > 0:18:17through a technical water bottle!
0:18:17 > 0:18:19I'm not going to spray him while he's on you,
0:18:19 > 0:18:23cos that's just a bit unfair, so I will take off.
0:18:23 > 0:18:29I have a little stick down here and if we put Dante on it,
0:18:29 > 0:18:33obviously then we can hold him out and then spray the water.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Am I going to hold the stick? - That would be great. Thank you.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40So this is just simulating what would happen in the wild?
0:18:40 > 0:18:44Yes, he would sit on a branch and wait for the water to drip down.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46With spraying his head, will that sink in?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- Is he drinking through his skin? - No.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50If you look at the top of his head,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53this shape here is kind of like a funnel.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57It funnels the water this way so when it drips off the end of his nose
0:18:57 > 0:19:00he can lift his head slightly and it goes into his mouth.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04It's been great giving Dante the panther chameleon a drink,
0:19:04 > 0:19:08but it's so hot in here I think I could do with a drink myself.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Bit of water, Johny?
0:19:12 > 0:19:13Why didn't I see that coming?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22OK, gamers. Make a note of this.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27That is today's cheat code for the Roar game on the CBBC website.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Don't forget to check your animals, and happy gaming.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44Back in Wolf Wood, there is one last wolf still on the loose.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46And the keepers are flagging.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51We've got to just keep this relentless pressure up a little bit.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55The sooner you're in, the sooner you can come back out.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00Get in. Get in. Get in! Eh! Oh, you.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Finally, the last wolf goes in.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11The whole roundup has taken almost an hour.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Relentless pressure always pays off.
0:20:15 > 0:20:1711, 12, 13. Yes, that is 13.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21We've achieved part one of our mission. We've got the wolves.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23The vet's here. He's just gone in now,
0:20:23 > 0:20:25so if we get a move on, we can join him.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30But how do you give 13 big wolves their medicine?
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Don't go away, cos very soon we're going to find out.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Our Roar ranger Ethan has been learning about falconry
0:20:44 > 0:20:47with Jimmy and Mulberry the barn owl.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Now, it's time for Ethan's first fly.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55In a few moments, he's going to let Mulberry go and hope she comes back.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00To get her to fly, what do you think we need to do? Really easy.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- Let go of her.- We need to let go of her, yes, we do!
0:21:03 > 0:21:07So I am going to take the clip off her ankles,
0:21:07 > 0:21:08really carefully.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13We're going to take these away, like that. She's free.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19It's really tempting, when you call the bird in, to do it like that,
0:21:19 > 0:21:21and go, "Wow, look, it's flying straight to me!"
0:21:21 > 0:21:24but if it all goes wrong, she'll land on top of your head.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27So you stretch your arm out to the side like that
0:21:27 > 0:21:30and she's going to fly to the back of your fist, like that.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I can't believe I'm about to fly an owl.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Ethan has wanted to do this for years,
0:21:35 > 0:21:37and now he's finally going to get the chance.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Are you ready?- Yes.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Keep your arm nice and straight out to the side.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49First flight there she goes.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52I'm going to give her a little treat for doing that.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Pretty amazing, isn't it?
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Mulberry hardly seems to notice she's got a new falconer.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Absolutely brilliant. Amazing.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05Second fly.
0:22:07 > 0:22:13Here she comes. Well done. Have a treat as well.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15I am loving this.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- What do you think?- Wow.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Mulberry has taken today's outing in her stride,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28but for Ethan, it's been a special experience.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31I think every single falconer remembers the first bird
0:22:31 > 0:22:32they ever flew.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36I flew a little kestrel when I was maybe seven years old.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38So he did a fantastic job.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43I'm still lost for words, it's completely indescribable.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49I thought this would take years of practice
0:22:49 > 0:22:52but it's literally like, "done"!
0:22:55 > 0:22:57It was amazing!
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Back at the wolf house,
0:23:05 > 0:23:10the safari park vet has started giving the wolves their medicine
0:23:10 > 0:23:14to deal with the microscopic worms in their guts.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16They've always got a few worms,
0:23:16 > 0:23:19and they can build up to quite high levels.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23We keep them as low as possible. Good girl.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Pet dogs and cats get worms as well.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29But it's easily kept under control by regular treatment.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33As adults, they can probably cope with them, but if they have pups,
0:23:33 > 0:23:36they can get up to horrendously high levels and kill them.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39So the idea is we worm the whole pack
0:23:39 > 0:23:43and keep the levels of worms in the enclosure down,
0:23:43 > 0:23:46so that when they do have pups, you know, there will be less risk.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49There are no nasty injections involved.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54The medicine is just a liquid that must be applied under the hair,
0:23:54 > 0:23:57where it can be absorbed through the skin.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Go on then, mate.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07To do that, they need to have a way of holding the wolves still.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10We call it a crush, but it's basically just to restrain them
0:24:10 > 0:24:13so it's easier to put this on.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17These are wild animals so they have to be restrained sometimes,
0:24:17 > 0:24:21and they're only like there for a few seconds anyway.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Everyone works quickly. The whole pack is done in minutes.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Job done.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39In no time, the wolves are back in the wood,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41while the keepers clean up.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Now their health is protected,
0:24:45 > 0:24:49they can just relax and enjoy the peace and quiet out here.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53At least until next time.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55WOLVES HOWL
0:25:00 > 0:25:01In our last series,
0:25:01 > 0:25:07we followed a heart-warming story of true love when Gavin met Stacey.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10At first they were just good friends,
0:25:10 > 0:25:14but, as time went on, their relationship bloomed.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Soon, Stacey had laid a clutch of huge eggs
0:25:18 > 0:25:21and they took it in turns to sit on them.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Stacey did the daytime...
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Gavin took the night shift.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Six weeks later, they hatched.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Ostrich chicks grow fast, and before the end of the series
0:25:33 > 0:25:37they were half the size of their parents, belting around like mad.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Since then, two of the four chicks have moved to other parks
0:25:40 > 0:25:42to start families of their own,
0:25:42 > 0:25:45but two of the boys are still here with mum and dad.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49So before we leave you, we thought we would pop along
0:25:49 > 0:25:52to see their keeper Dan to see how they are doing.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- How are they doing? - Very good, very good. As you can see,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59they're a bit bigger than the last time you saw them.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- That is not them there! - That's crazy talk!
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Cos I was thinking, where have the little chicks gone?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07That's them, two of them, anyway.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09I know Stacey is a bit lighter,
0:26:09 > 0:26:11but I can't on the difference between those three there.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13We have Gavin at the front.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16The easiest way to tell is he still has a red beak and legs,
0:26:16 > 0:26:18whereas the others are still juvenile
0:26:18 > 0:26:21so they don't have their red colouring.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25It's quite nice they're all still hanging around together.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Do ostrich chicks hang around with their folks a lot?
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- Do they stay as a family unit?- They do tend to hang around altogether.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36But it's the same as anything, they don't like being alone.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39They are more than independent, they're fine by themselves.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43The little ones growing up and flying the nest
0:26:43 > 0:26:44even though ostriches don't fly!
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Do you think Gavin and Stacey will have some more little ones?
0:26:48 > 0:26:52Fingers crossed, we are hoping for some more this year.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Well, if there are some new little ones,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57you guys will the first to see it.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Now, check out what's coming up on the next episode.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04The keepers must take action,
0:27:04 > 0:27:07or else the flamingos won't have any chicks this year.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09So, how is making mud pies going to help?
0:27:11 > 0:27:13And something tells me
0:27:13 > 0:27:17the marmosets aren't taking their whistle training seriously.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22And the Roar rangers will be helping out
0:27:22 > 0:27:24with one of the park's new babies.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Jealous? Don't be. Not all ickle, fluffy babies are cute.
