Coming up today,

0:00:030:00:04

the Roar Rangers will be helping with one of the park's new babies.

0:00:040:00:08

Jealous? Don't be,

0:00:080:00:10

cos not all ickle fluffy babies are cute.

0:00:100:00:13

-Hello! I'm Rani.

-And I'm Johny, and welcome to another fascinating,

0:00:420:00:45

fact-filled episode of Roar.

0:00:450:00:47

Speaking of which, did you know that ostriches are the tallest bird,

0:00:470:00:50

standing up to 2.7 metres high? That is like two of me.

0:00:500:00:54

That's not the only way you and an ostrich are connected,

0:00:540:00:57

because apparently their eyeballs are bigger than their brain.

0:00:570:01:00

-Wow! It's almost like we're related.

-Yeah, yeah.

0:01:000:01:03

Better get on with the show before she works that one out.

0:01:030:01:06

Hang on, does that mean they've got big eyes or big brains?

0:01:060:01:09

Coming up on Roar,

0:01:110:01:13

Johny joins the vet to give Joseph the baby wallaby his health check.

0:01:130:01:19

-He's so cute!

-Any excuse for a cuddle!

0:01:200:01:23

The keepers must take action,

0:01:250:01:27

or else the flamingos won't have any chicks this year.

0:01:270:01:30

So how is making mud pies going to help?

0:01:300:01:33

SHE WHISTLES

0:01:330:01:35

And something tells me

0:01:350:01:36

the marmosets aren't taking their whistle training seriously.

0:01:360:01:39

Oh, look at his cute face!

0:01:510:01:53

'But we're starting off with Joseph the baby wallaby,

0:01:530:01:55

'who was abandoned and had to be hand-reared by the keepers.

0:01:550:01:59

'If he was with his mum, he'd still be in her pouch,

0:01:590:02:03

'so his foster carers, Bev and Polly,

0:02:030:02:06

'take him round in a cosy backpack instead.

0:02:060:02:09

'I've met Joseph a couple of times now and in our last show

0:02:090:02:13

'I saw how he was getting on with his hopping lessons.

0:02:130:02:18

'Today, it's Johny's turn.

0:02:200:02:23

'He's joined Chris the vet who's come to give Joseph

0:02:230:02:26

'his regular check-up.'

0:02:260:02:28

Wow! Here he is.

0:02:280:02:30

Oh, my goodness! Look how cute... This is Joseph, is it?

0:02:300:02:34

This is Joseph, yeah. He's a little red-necked wallaby.

0:02:340:02:37

Why is he all on his own?

0:02:370:02:39

We found him. He must have fallen out of the pouch overnight.

0:02:390:02:43

When we found him, he was very cold,

0:02:430:02:45

-to be honest, a little bit near death's door.

-Really?!

0:02:450:02:49

We waited to see if Mum would come and get him, but she didn't.

0:02:490:02:52

He probably wouldn't have had the energy

0:02:520:02:54

to get back in the pouch anyway, so we had to step in

0:02:540:02:57

and start hand rearing him.

0:02:570:02:58

What are we going to be doing today, in terms of a health check?

0:02:580:03:02

We've just got to get him out and have a little look at his eyes,

0:03:020:03:06

his teeth, his nose, and just check he's all right.

0:03:060:03:09

Can I be the one to hold him?

0:03:090:03:10

-I'm sure you can.

-That's fine, Johny. That's fine.

0:03:100:03:14

If I just get him out of the pouch.

0:03:140:03:16

Sometimes he's a bit sleepy.

0:03:160:03:19

He's all legs, so if you just hold him close to your body.

0:03:190:03:22

Hold him underneath his bottom. That's perfect.

0:03:220:03:26

He's so cute.

0:03:260:03:29

Chris, over to you.

0:03:290:03:31

I'll just have a little look at his head.

0:03:310:03:34

So nice, clean, shiny eyes.

0:03:340:03:37

A nice clean nose, no snot or anything coming out of it.

0:03:370:03:40

Let's see if we can have a look at the teeth without getting bitten.

0:03:400:03:44

Quite interesting teeth, they kind of meet like a scissor.

0:03:440:03:47

Oh, wow!

0:03:470:03:49

A scissor edge for nibbling and stuff,

0:03:490:03:51

and these amazing feet.

0:03:510:03:53

Just going to have a little listen to his heart.

0:03:530:03:56

He looks great. Clean bill of health.

0:03:560:03:58

-Brilliant.

-Can we see him moving around?

-That's fine.

0:03:580:04:00

I normally see him in his pouch. It'd be nice to see him moving.

0:04:000:04:03

Johny, if you put him down. I'll move his pouch away.

0:04:030:04:06

-Does he jump yet?

-He does. He's very good at hopping.

0:04:060:04:08

-He's not going to hop off anywhere?

-No, he knows where his pouch is.

0:04:080:04:12

He'll spot that and normally he'll hop about or hop towards his pouch.

0:04:120:04:16

There you go, Joseph.

0:04:160:04:17

He's having a little look around. He's so cute!

0:04:180:04:22

This is the stage that you'd be looking for him

0:04:270:04:30

to come out of his pouch now so I guess it's good

0:04:300:04:32

that he's comfortable out of it and not dashing back.

0:04:320:04:35

Definitely. Sometimes he gets himself a bit spooked,

0:04:350:04:38

if a bird flies over or he gets a bit too close

0:04:380:04:41

to something he's not used to.

0:04:410:04:43

But as long as he knows where his pouch is and where he can bolt to,

0:04:430:04:47

he's normally fine.

0:04:470:04:48

Look at that. Wow! He's jumping already. That's good.

0:04:480:04:52

There you go!

0:04:550:04:58

Home sweet home, hey?

0:04:580:04:59

Chris, it looks like he's bouncing around.

0:04:590:05:02

Is there anything that you're looking for in particular

0:05:020:05:05

in the way he's moving?

0:05:050:05:06

Like you say, he is bouncing around brilliantly.

0:05:060:05:09

He's confident, he's moving well, we've seen a few good hops from him

0:05:090:05:13

and he forward rolled straight back into his pouch so I'm pleased.

0:05:130:05:16

He's doing well.

0:05:160:05:17

The guys are doing a great job so we'll see him next week.

0:05:170:05:20

-So it's thumbs up all round?

-Definitely.

0:05:200:05:23

Brilliant. Our work here is done.

0:05:230:05:25

Thank you so much for letting us meet Joseph.

0:05:250:05:28

Last year was a real triumph for the park's flock of Chilean flamingos.

0:05:360:05:42

For years, keeper Mark had been trying to get them

0:05:420:05:45

to breed with little success.

0:05:450:05:48

The flamingos would build their nests out of mud

0:05:480:05:50

and lay the eggs and that's when things kept on going wrong.

0:05:500:05:55

What happens is someone will make a nest and lay an egg

0:05:550:05:58

and will be quite happy with that.

0:05:580:06:01

Someone else will think, "I like the look of your nest.

0:06:010:06:03

"I don't care that you've got an egg in it. I want it out."

0:06:030:06:06

So they'll kick the bird and the egg out to lay their own egg in there.

0:06:060:06:10

So Mark hatched a clever plan. He swapped their eggs

0:06:100:06:14

for dummy wooden ones, incubated the real ones

0:06:140:06:17

and then swapped them back when they were just about to hatch.

0:06:170:06:23

And they soon had 15 new chicks in with the flock.

0:06:240:06:28

We're really happy the way things have gone.

0:06:280:06:32

It will be great to repeat that success again this year,

0:06:320:06:37

but so far, the flamingos haven't rebuilt the old nests.

0:06:370:06:41

And without the nests, they won't lay the eggs.

0:06:410:06:45

So once again, they're going to need a helping hand.

0:06:450:06:48

Every year, we have to redress the nest site. Mud gets washed away

0:06:480:06:53

so we have to put some fresh soil in.

0:06:530:06:55

Without the mud, they can't build the nests.

0:06:550:06:58

We have to provide them with plenty of nice soil

0:06:580:07:01

and then they can build nice nests.

0:07:010:07:03

And they need quite a lot of it.

0:07:030:07:06

A whole trailer of the stuff.

0:07:060:07:08

Still, it gives Mark an excuse

0:07:080:07:10

to play with the park's earth-moving machines.

0:07:100:07:13

Boys and toys. Of course I like tractors!

0:07:200:07:22

Yeah, this is my thing.

0:07:220:07:25

But the tractor can't get all the way to the nest site.

0:07:270:07:31

To do that, Mark needs reinforcements.

0:07:310:07:34

I'm waiting for my two, Luke and Sarah,

0:07:340:07:37

to come with wheelbarrows and shovels and then we'll crack on.

0:07:370:07:40

The sort of job everybody hates, shovelling mud in wheelbarrows.

0:07:440:07:49

This should be enough mud, but Mark is still worried.

0:07:490:07:53

Maybe the flamingos will need more encouragement

0:07:530:07:56

to get them to breed. So don't go away,

0:07:560:07:59

cos he's about to hatch another one of his cunning plans.

0:07:590:08:03

Every single giraffe has a different pattern on its coat,

0:08:150:08:18

so each one can be identified from its markings

0:08:180:08:21

in the same way that the police can identify people

0:08:210:08:25

by their fingerprints.

0:08:250:08:26

So if a giraffe ever tried to become a master criminal...

0:08:280:08:32

..they'd never get away with it.

0:08:340:08:36

Common marmosets live down at Monkey Temple.

0:08:450:08:48

It's an open enclosure with no bars or cages

0:08:480:08:51

and relies instead on the marmosets' natural instinct

0:08:510:08:55

to stay in their own territory.

0:08:550:08:57

But just in case they ever wandered off,

0:08:570:09:01

the keepers have trained them

0:09:010:09:03

-to associate a whistle with food.

-WHISTLE BLOWS

0:09:030:09:05

So when they hear that, the marmoset should come running back

0:09:050:09:09

looking for treats.

0:09:090:09:10

Of course, all training needs practice

0:09:120:09:16

and you've got to keep up the drills.

0:09:160:09:18

BLOWS WHISTLE

0:09:180:09:21

Left, right, left, right, turn, turn, turn, turn,

0:09:210:09:24

left, right, left, right.

0:09:240:09:27

Officer Rani reporting for duty, ma'am-oset.

0:09:270:09:30

SHE LAUGHS

0:09:300:09:32

I love it! The marmosets are really loving you today.

0:09:320:09:37

So is this why we're here, to train the marmosets,

0:09:370:09:41

cos they're being a bit naughty?

0:09:410:09:43

Yeah, what we're going to do today is patrol them.

0:09:430:09:45

As you can see, they need to be kept in control.

0:09:450:09:48

That one down there is very naughty so we'll need to keep an eye on him.

0:09:480:09:52

-How can you tell the difference?!

-You just get used to them.

0:09:520:09:55

-There's Mum, Dad and eight children.

-Ah.

0:09:550:09:58

Two of the youngest ones are ten weeks old.

0:09:580:10:00

-We'll put some food out for them.

-OK.

0:10:000:10:02

We've got some feeding platforms over there too,

0:10:020:10:04

which we'll take the food over to.

0:10:040:10:07

-But if you want to put some food in there for them...

-A bit nervous!

0:10:070:10:10

-That's OK.

-I've got my camo-hat on, I'll be disguised!

-That's fine.

0:10:100:10:14

There's one in there. Do they bite?

0:10:140:10:16

No, he should be fine. He's just exploring...

0:10:160:10:18

-But look! He's hiding under the...

-If you just put the food in there.

0:10:180:10:22

-What am I giving them? Carrots.

-This is just their morning vegetables.

0:10:220:10:26

They have quite a few feeds, so they have vegetables,

0:10:260:10:29

and their fruits and this afternoon they get their bugs as well,

0:10:290:10:32

so they have quite a varied diet.

0:10:320:10:34

-Let's get more food out there.

-OK.

0:10:340:10:36

But I am still curious - the fact that they don't just run away.

0:10:360:10:41

Yeah, I know. It is pretty amazing.

0:10:410:10:43

Like I said before, these are a large family group

0:10:430:10:47

so they won't leave the babies. They're very social

0:10:470:10:50

and they kind of work together as well.

0:10:500:10:52

-Last bit here, shall I just throw it all out here?

-Yeah, that's fine.

0:10:520:10:55

So how would you make sure, apart from putting food out,

0:10:550:10:59

that they behave, cos you said one of them was quite naughty!

0:10:590:11:02

ONE of them is naughty. Well, obviously...

0:11:020:11:04

-Cos I have my whistle.

-Yeah.

-Do I need it with marmosets?

0:11:040:11:08

The whistle encourages them, lets them know we're feeding them here,

0:11:080:11:11

so every time we blow the whistle we feed them -

0:11:110:11:14

they relate that to having food in a moment.

0:11:140:11:16

So we'll blow the whistle and you just do two short, sharp blows...

0:11:160:11:20

SHE BLOWS SHARPLY

0:11:200:11:22

..and hopefully that will encourage them to come over.

0:11:220:11:25

We have fed them over there as well

0:11:250:11:27

so they'll probably stay where it's nice and warm, under the heat lamps.

0:11:270:11:30

-Well, we'll try it anyway.

-WHISTLE SOUNDS

0:11:300:11:33

They're looking. They know that sound. You can see them up there.

0:11:330:11:36

-That's how to call them over.

-It's great looking at them

0:11:360:11:40

-but it does sound a tough job if you've always got to be here.

-It is.

0:11:400:11:43

-Is that what you do?

-Yeah, all the staff take it in turns,

0:11:430:11:47

so we'll be swapping over quite shortly with another staff member

0:11:470:11:50

so they can look after the monkeys too. So I'll go and do some cleaning.

0:11:500:11:54

-Well, Amy, you do look a bit tired.

-I am! Exhausted!

0:11:540:11:57

Why don't you go and put your feet up? Why don't I take over?

0:11:570:12:00

-I just whistle twice, clap my hands...

-That's it!

0:12:000:12:02

-Give me a ring if you get any problems!

-I'll do that.

0:12:020:12:05

You go and rest. Thanks very much. OK, then, marmoset!

0:12:050:12:08

-WHISTLE SOUNDS

-Left, right!

0:12:080:12:11

All go in the basket! All of you, right now, swing in the basket!

0:12:110:12:15

They're doing exactly as I say. Look at that! All of them.

0:12:150:12:18

There you go! Wonderful!

0:12:180:12:21

Our Roar Rangers today are cousins...

0:12:270:12:30

THEY GROWL

0:12:360:12:38

I really want to be a Roar Ranger because I absolutely love animals.

0:12:380:12:42

But what animal will they get? Furry or frightening?

0:12:420:12:46

They've got two clues to figure it out. Clue one, some glue.

0:12:460:12:50

Clue two, the number eight.

0:12:500:12:53

Eight.

0:12:540:12:56

It could have eight legs.

0:12:560:12:59

Spider.

0:12:590:13:01

Yes. Spiders do have eight legs as well as bug eyes and big fangs.

0:13:020:13:06

I'm not too keen on them. It kind of depends on what size they are.

0:13:060:13:11

Well, they've got some real whoppers here.

0:13:110:13:13

-But what about the other clue?

-Glue.

0:13:130:13:15

That's got Lucy and Chloe stuck.

0:13:150:13:18

We'll find out what that's for later.

0:13:180:13:21

But right now, let's put them out of their misery.

0:13:210:13:24

"Animal Adventure keepers."

0:13:300:13:33

Animal Adventure keepers - they look after loads of species!

0:13:330:13:37

So it could be anything.

0:13:370:13:38

Animal Adventure is where they keep the creatures

0:13:380:13:41

you really need to see close up. From the cutest...

0:13:410:13:45

to the creepiest.

0:13:450:13:48

-Good morning, guys. How are you?

-Good.

-Welcome to Animal Adventure.

0:13:490:13:52

-My name's Kim and you're going to be keepers with me. All right?

-Yes.

0:13:520:13:57

With all the different creatures here, what does Kim need help with?

0:13:590:14:04

Oh, dear. She's taking them to the bug room.

0:14:040:14:08

In here in the boxes on the counter,

0:14:080:14:11

I've got some of my baby Chilean Rose Tarantulas.

0:14:110:14:14

Chilean Rose Tarantulas come from the dry deserts of South America.

0:14:140:14:20

They can grow up to 12 centimetres across.

0:14:200:14:23

But Kim did say these are just babies.

0:14:230:14:26

We're training them, getting them ready to go out and meet the public.

0:14:260:14:31

Visitors to the park are invited to challenge their fears

0:14:310:14:35

and hold the spiders. So the keepers need to get the young tarantulas

0:14:350:14:40

used to meeting people.

0:14:400:14:42

It takes lots of practice handling sessions.

0:14:420:14:45

I don't like spiders.

0:14:450:14:48

Lucy's not alone.

0:14:490:14:51

It's thought that almost a third of the population is scared of spiders.

0:14:510:14:56

The fear of spiders is known as arachnophobia.

0:14:560:15:00

One of the best ways to overcome it

0:15:000:15:02

is to get used to them a little bit at a time.

0:15:020:15:05

You don't have to be nervous about anything.

0:15:050:15:08

These guys are used to being picked up already.

0:15:080:15:11

I've been doing it for a little while.

0:15:110:15:13

You're just going to help me do a little bit of the handling.

0:15:130:15:16

It's time to meet the spiders.

0:15:160:15:20

Why has Scarlet got a pinky tinge

0:15:290:15:31

and the others haven't got quite so much of it?

0:15:310:15:35

Yesterday, she shed her skin.

0:15:350:15:38

Spiders have a hard skin called an exoskeleton.

0:15:380:15:42

It can't grow, so to get bigger they need to shed that covering,

0:15:420:15:46

which leaves behind a complete hollow skin.

0:15:460:15:50

This is Scarlet's skin. Do you want to have a touch?

0:15:500:15:54

Both of the Roar Rangers really don't like spiders,

0:15:540:15:58

but Lucy is going to give it a go.

0:15:580:16:00

It looks strange.

0:16:080:16:10

It looks like it's actually a spider. But it's just skin.

0:16:100:16:15

Handling the shed skin is a good way to start getting used to spiders,

0:16:150:16:19

but now, how about the real thing?

0:16:190:16:22

Here comes Scarlet.

0:16:220:16:25

It looks fluffy and...

0:16:250:16:27

Yeah.

0:16:270:16:29

Can you see where her eyes are?

0:16:290:16:31

Having a close-up look also helps overcome that fear.

0:16:310:16:35

-Is the spider making you go all sweaty?

-Yeah.

0:16:350:16:38

But the biggest challenge will be to actually hold this giant spider.

0:16:380:16:44

Can Chloe conquer her fear?

0:16:440:16:47

Keep your hands nice and still, nice and flat.

0:16:470:16:51

Fantastic, well done. There we are.

0:16:520:16:55

She just sits very still.

0:16:550:16:58

She doesn't need to move around.

0:16:580:17:00

Nervous still, but kind of fun.

0:17:000:17:02

It's really weird. Because I'm nervous, I'm shaking,

0:17:020:17:07

which is making her shake which is making me nervous.

0:17:070:17:10

But already it's getting easier.

0:17:100:17:13

They're kind of like little fluffy things.

0:17:130:17:16

Hmm. Though I'm not sure you could ever say they're cute.

0:17:160:17:20

You guys have been an absolutely fantastic help.

0:17:200:17:23

I'm going to put Scarlet back in her box here.

0:17:230:17:27

The Roar Rangers haven't finished yet. Kim has another job for them -

0:17:270:17:32

one that's going to take steady nerves and skilful hands.

0:17:320:17:36

Are they up for it? We'll find out soon.

0:17:360:17:39

What do you get when you cross a camera and a crocodile?

0:17:440:17:49

A snapshot.

0:17:500:17:52

-Miaow.

-Miaow.

-Miaow.

-Miaow.

0:17:520:17:55

-Miaow.

-Miaow.

-Miaow.

0:17:550:17:57

What do you get from old cows?

0:17:570:18:00

Wrinkle cream.

0:18:000:18:01

Boing! Boing!

0:18:010:18:04

What animal should you never play cards with?

0:18:040:18:07

A cheetah.

0:18:070:18:09

ALL LAUGH

0:18:090:18:12

The flamingos have been really slow to get things ready for breeding,

0:18:180:18:23

so Mark, Sarah and Luke have brought them a load of fresh mud.

0:18:230:18:28

That's what they use to build

0:18:280:18:30

the strange nests they lay their eggs in.

0:18:300:18:33

But the flamingos are so far behind schedule,

0:18:330:18:37

Mark and the team have decided to help them one stage more.

0:18:370:18:42

They're building flamingo nests.

0:18:420:18:44

Just like a big kid, sandcastles. This is what we are trying to do.

0:18:440:18:49

Mud pies, nice, sticky wet mud

0:18:490:18:52

and build this lovely sort of tower with a little dip in the top

0:18:520:18:56

for them to lay an egg in.

0:18:560:18:58

Building flamingo nests, it seems, is a very creative process.

0:18:580:19:04

I like to think that I put a lot of time and effort into it.

0:19:040:19:07

It's like a Mona Lisa.

0:19:070:19:09

So works of art or muddy mess? It doesn't matter,

0:19:140:19:17

as long as the flamingos like the look of them.

0:19:170:19:20

All the noise and squabbling are good indicators

0:19:200:19:24

of getting ready to breed.

0:19:240:19:27

We still hope we'll get some eggs - just a bit later than normal.

0:19:270:19:31

Everyone's got their fingers crossed that the sight of these nests

0:19:310:19:36

will inspire the flamingos to start new families.

0:19:360:19:40

Will it work? We'll find out later in the series.

0:19:400:19:44

Now, who doesn't love egg and soldiers? Michaela?

0:19:560:19:59

-I love egg and soldiers.

-Do you, cameraman? Yes, you see?

0:19:590:20:02

But I've heard there's an animal here that loves them more than us.

0:20:020:20:07

-Who is it?

-It's the coatis.

-The coatis?

-Yes.

0:20:070:20:12

We've got some hard-boiled and a couple of raw eggs as well.

0:20:120:20:16

-Raw eggs?

-Yes.

-Do they like to eat raw eggs?

0:20:160:20:19

-They eat birds' eggs in the wild and nobody cooks them.

-She's got a point.

0:20:190:20:23

Pop the raw eggs on the stumps and if they fall, they might crack.

0:20:230:20:27

We've already set up some Roar cameras. Let me do this carefully.

0:20:270:20:32

-I'll balance it.

-Do you want a boiled egg next to it?

-OK.

0:20:320:20:36

-How many coatis do we have in here?

-We've got four -

0:20:360:20:40

-one boy and three females.

-I got them on there.

0:20:400:20:44

We'll put these on the floor. We've got another camera here.

0:20:440:20:47

With all the yolk coming out,

0:20:470:20:49

maybe I could cover it up to make it a little bit interesting?

0:20:490:20:53

Yeah, make it harder for them to look for them.

0:20:530:20:55

They do whiff and coatis have a great sense of smell.

0:20:550:21:00

-They do.

-Those eggs are pretty covered up.

0:21:000:21:03

If you stand back, they should come down and forage for their eggs.

0:21:030:21:07

-All right.

-That's Zoe.

-(Here she comes down the rope.)

0:21:070:21:12

-She's gone straight for one.

-She might try to carry it back up.

0:21:170:21:21

But they're raw! They're going to splatter everywhere!

0:21:210:21:25

Is she going to go down and lick that up?

0:21:280:21:31

-She's getting the other one.

-She's got it! she's sneaking off with it.

0:21:310:21:36

She's managed to climb up a rope with it in her mouth. Great balance.

0:21:360:21:41

Their tails give them great balance.

0:21:410:21:43

You can see, she's eating it in the tunnel.

0:21:430:21:47

Is Zoe the leader of the pack?

0:21:470:21:50

She's not. She's the lowest. She's the one that's very submissive.

0:21:500:21:55

How come it was Zoe that went, "I don't mind. I'll go and get an egg."

0:21:550:21:59

It may be that everybody else is asleep

0:21:590:22:02

and she's taken a chance to come out and have a look.

0:22:020:22:05

Here she comes for another one!

0:22:050:22:07

She's on the floor for the raw egg.

0:22:090:22:11

That's her favourite. Raw egg is her favourite.

0:22:110:22:15

-Because that's what they would eat in the wild.

-Definitely.

0:22:150:22:19

She'd a quick lick at the raw egg and now she's got a hard-boiled egg.

0:22:190:22:24

It's got to be a high-five for Zoe.

0:22:280:22:30

She got herself two treats because she bothered to get out of bed.

0:22:300:22:36

OK, gamers, here's what you've been waiting for.

0:22:390:22:43

That's today's cheat code for the Roar game on the CBBC website.

0:22:450:22:49

You need to get as many of these cheat codes as you can

0:22:490:22:53

to really make the most of the game.

0:22:530:22:55

Don't forget to look out for them on every show.

0:22:550:22:58

Our Roar Rangers Lucy and Chloe have been helping

0:23:060:23:09

to get the tarantulas tame,

0:23:090:23:12

but now they've got to leave that and move on to another job.

0:23:120:23:16

BOTH: Yes!

0:23:160:23:18

Keeper Kim has just received a special delivery from the Far East.

0:23:200:23:25

These are tropical butterfly pupa.

0:23:250:23:28

The pupa, or chrysalis,

0:23:280:23:30

is one of the four stages in the life cycle of the butterfly.

0:23:300:23:35

In less than a month,

0:23:350:23:37

they'll hatch out and live here in the tropical butterfly house.

0:23:370:23:41

In the meantime, the pupa need to be stuck to sticks

0:23:410:23:46

and kept in a special heated cabinet.

0:23:460:23:49

So now you see what the Rangers' glue clue was about.

0:23:490:23:53

We must remember to stick it the right way.

0:23:530:23:56

Normally, you've got a tiny bit of silk. Can you see that on the end?

0:23:560:24:00

This is the end you want to stick.

0:24:000:24:03

The glue they are using dries solid in just a few seconds.

0:24:030:24:07

You have to be fast and accurate.

0:24:070:24:09

Get it wrong and the pupa could be damaged.

0:24:090:24:12

We have a little bit of a problem sometimes

0:24:120:24:15

when we're trying to stick them on the sticks

0:24:150:24:18

because the end wiggles around. They're still alive inside here.

0:24:180:24:22

First up is Lucy.

0:24:220:24:25

You need a steady hand for this job.

0:24:280:24:30

Well done. That's it. Cracking.

0:24:300:24:35

Now it's Chloe's turn.

0:24:350:24:37

I'm a bit nervous that it might wriggle around.

0:24:370:24:40

Gently does it.

0:24:420:24:44

Fantastic. Well done. Brilliant.

0:24:440:24:49

Just as well they've got the hang of this, because there are lots to do.

0:24:490:24:54

You guys are doing really well, actually.

0:24:570:25:00

I'm normally covered in glue by this point.

0:25:000:25:03

When they're all stuck on, it's time to put them in the pupa cabinet.

0:25:030:25:07

Soon, the house will be swarming with butterflies and moths.

0:25:070:25:10

Today, the Roar Rangers have tackled tarantulas

0:25:130:25:16

and done some advanced gluing. What does Kim think?

0:25:160:25:19

Chloe and Lucy were extremely brave, and very light-handed.

0:25:190:25:23

That's what we were looking for.

0:25:230:25:25

You did really well to hold the skin because I was scared of the skin.

0:25:250:25:28

-BOTH: We love butterflies.

-But I hate spiders.

0:25:280:25:32

'It's almost the end of the show,

0:25:400:25:42

'but before we go, we're going to catch up with keeper Mark.

0:25:420:25:46

'As well as the flamingos,

0:25:460:25:48

'he also looks after Nico the silverback gorilla.

0:25:480:25:53

'At 50, he's one of the oldest gorillas in the world

0:25:530:25:56

'and they certainly make a fuss of him here.

0:25:560:25:59

'In fact, he's got his own telly.'

0:25:590:26:01

I like to watch a bit of telly with a pal.

0:26:010:26:05

What about Nico - do you ever stay and watch telly with him?

0:26:050:26:08

Maybe have a cup of tea?

0:26:080:26:10

I might have watched the odd Grand Prix with him now and again.

0:26:100:26:14

Does he like company? In the past, you've said he gets a bit grumpy.

0:26:140:26:18

He does like a bit of company, but not too much.

0:26:180:26:22

If you're there too long, he's sitting there going,

0:26:220:26:26

"What are you doing here? Leave it to me!"

0:26:260:26:29

I've got to ask, when you are watching telly,

0:26:290:26:32

-who gets control of the remote control?

-That'd be me.

0:26:320:26:37

We've given him a remote control before and he tried to eat it.

0:26:370:26:42

Nico, you ruined it for yourself!

0:26:420:26:44

He might not be able to eat remote controls,

0:26:440:26:47

but what was he just eating before, his evening snack?

0:26:470:26:50

That's just some scattered feed we put out and then the doors open

0:26:500:26:55

and he can go in and watch telly.

0:26:550:26:57

Sounds like a good life! I'm going to go home and watch some telly!

0:26:570:27:01

Why don't you guys check out what's coming up in the next episode.

0:27:010:27:05

Next time, the tigers are right outside our vehicle

0:27:070:27:12

and the keeper wants to open the door.

0:27:120:27:15

That's the scariest thing I've ever done on Roar!

0:27:150:27:18

The mischievous monkeys keep pulling bits off cars.

0:27:180:27:22

Are they little comedians or little monsters?

0:27:220:27:25

Oh, no.

0:27:250:27:27

We're no scaredy cats, but it's hard to keep your cool

0:27:270:27:31

when you're dealing with the world's larger scorpion.

0:27:310:27:35

It's going to sting me!
