0:00:02 > 0:00:06On Roar today, the lion cubs are moving on to solids
0:00:06 > 0:00:09and I don't think they're going to be fussy eaters.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Oh yes, I just love this job!
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Hello and welcome to Roar. I'm Rani.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45I'm Johny. These guys here are the incredibly cool pygmy goats.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Oh, Johny, I could stay here all day.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54But alas, the clock is ticking and we've plenty more animals to see.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56So many that we'd better get on with today's show.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00- Come on, you guys, hurry up and munch.- You'll give them indigestion!
0:01:01 > 0:01:06Coming up, they've got sharp horns and they're not afraid to use them.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10So how will the wildebeest herd react to the new kids on the block?
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Will it be friends or fighting?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15They say that pigs are as clever as dogs,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18so Rani and I have a go at some basic training.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Sit!- Sit!- Sit! Roll over!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26And our Roar Rangers throw away their ballet shoes
0:01:26 > 0:01:30and pull on the gloves cos it's bath time for Mum and baby.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Aw! Oh!
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Now, all you regular Roar fans will have been following the story
0:01:43 > 0:01:47of the four beautiful lion cubs that were born here at the park.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53We filmed them from when they were just a few weeks old.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56We've seen them have their inoculations against cat flu
0:01:56 > 0:01:59and witnessed their first trip outside to meet Dad.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Now, I'm on my way up to meet them for the first time.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14I am in for a massive treat now.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15LION GROWLS
0:02:15 > 0:02:17I've come to the lion enclosure.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Hear that sound? The growl, the rumble.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21That is Yendi.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22She is the lioness here,
0:02:22 > 0:02:26and she is a mummy! Hi, Yendi.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Well, the reason I'm down here today
0:02:28 > 0:02:31is for these little beauties! I can't believe it!
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Oh! A little spit there,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35and Gemma, you're going to be doing the honours
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- and introducing me today.- Hiya.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Gemma, this is amazing.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Look at them acting tough, showing us their teeth.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44So, who have we got here? What have we got? Males, females...hello!
0:02:44 > 0:02:46We have three females and one male.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48CUB BARKS
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Hear that? They're yelping away. Proper siblings there.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53It's cos they know we've got meat.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55So their natural instincts are coming out.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58They're trying to fight each other to get to the bars,
0:02:58 > 0:03:00so they can get the meat first.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03OK, so, as a special, special treat today,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06the Roar camera is here on a feeding stick.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- This is how you'd normally feed them?- Yes, with a stick.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12We wouldn't put our hands anywhere near them. Otherwise...
0:03:12 > 0:03:13CUBS SNARL
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Listen to that! Look at the teeth!
0:03:15 > 0:03:18OK, and I am going to get to do this as well?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- Yeah.- Oh, yes! I just love this job!
0:03:20 > 0:03:22OK, then.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24We'll pop a bit of meat on the end.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28If I do the first piece of meat, you can tell me who I'm giving it to.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Who's this?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- That'd be Eva.- Have you got it?
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Eva, so Eva is one of...
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Look at those claws!
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- Eva's...- Look at that!
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Look at the pads on the bottom of her feet!
0:03:39 > 0:03:41So, who's this one here?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Well, this one here, we've got Tanya.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- How can you tell the difference? - They've all got little things.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Eva is much smaller and lighter,
0:03:49 > 0:03:51and obviously we've got Klaus, who's the boy,
0:03:51 > 0:03:54and he's a little bit dark on the back end.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57That's Tana, and who's next to Tana?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- That's Kiana.- Kiana!
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Great names!
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Tana's got bits of, like markings by her mouth.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Ah, OK.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Oh my goodness, oh my goodness.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09And how does Mum react?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Is she a good mum? Is she very protective?
0:04:11 > 0:04:12She's very protective.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Obviously, you can hear her growling now.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19That's a "stay away from my babies" sort of growl.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20She will keep an eye on us,
0:04:20 > 0:04:22and if she thinks we're getting too close
0:04:22 > 0:04:26or getting out of turn with them, she'll growl at the bars,
0:04:26 > 0:04:28and make us realise that she will get us
0:04:28 > 0:04:30if we do any harm to them.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32CUBS GROWL
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Hear them growling!
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- I do love, though, their ears.- Yeah.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Oh, shush! I'm coming!
0:04:38 > 0:04:41You're so impatient.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Now, everything looks too big for their body. Their paws look too big,
0:04:45 > 0:04:48their ears look big, but they will grow into all of it.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50CUBS SNAP
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Calm down.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55They're just loving this meat.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58How long have they been on meat, or solids?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01They started taking an interest in meat at about six weeks.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03They do it gradually,
0:05:03 > 0:05:07so obviously, when they were younger and they were in here,
0:05:07 > 0:05:11we would feed Mum, and then Mum would sort of show them what to do,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13and they would have a lick,
0:05:13 > 0:05:15and then they would start eating.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18We're asking all about Mum. What about Dad?
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Dad,
0:05:19 > 0:05:22he sort of stays away.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25He'll go over now and again, have a play with them,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27they grab his tail and his mane,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30jump all over him, but as soon as he's had enough,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- he says he's had enough and walks off.- Gemma, I've got to say,
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I'm growing rather attached to these guys.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38We've still got a load of meat to feed them,
0:05:38 > 0:05:40so why don't you guys enjoy the rest of the show,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42and I'll just stick around here.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Who wants this, then?
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Ooh, lovely.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02This is one of nature's most spectacular events,
0:06:02 > 0:06:05the annual wildebeest migration in East Africa.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Every year, between May and July,
0:06:09 > 0:06:13over a million wildebeest set off on a 1,000-mile journey
0:06:13 > 0:06:16from Tanzania to Kenya, and back.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19They follow the rains,
0:06:19 > 0:06:23and the water and fresh new grass it brings to the plains.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28The Safari Park has a herd of wildebeest too,
0:06:28 > 0:06:29though it's not a million strong
0:06:29 > 0:06:32and it doesn't migrate.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36In fact, there are just four wildebeest here,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39all boys, and they live very happily in Monkey Jungle.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Wildebeest are slightly odd-looking antelope.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49They look like they were made of spare parts,
0:06:49 > 0:06:51with front legs longer than the back ones,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53a permanent look of confusion,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56and they certainly wouldn't win a beauty competition.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59But head-of-section Andy loves them.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01These guys turned up end of last year,
0:07:01 > 0:07:03so yeah, fairly new for Longleat.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06They're just a real cool, funky-looking animal.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08I think they're great.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12The name "wildebeest" actually means "wild cattle".
0:07:12 > 0:07:15But they have several other names too.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16They're known as...
0:07:16 > 0:07:19common wildebeest,
0:07:19 > 0:07:20blue wildebeest,
0:07:20 > 0:07:21or brindled gnu.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23So they kind of have three names.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26There is actually a wonderful song about gnus.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28MICHAEL FLANDERS: # I'm a gnu
0:07:28 > 0:07:30# Spelt G-N-U
0:07:30 > 0:07:33# I'm the gnicest work of gnature in the zoo... #
0:07:33 > 0:07:37And it's an easy song to sing along to.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Well, I am not going to sing that.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41LAUGHTER
0:07:41 > 0:07:42What a spoilsport!
0:07:44 > 0:07:47But it's a catchy tune, and it's just as well,
0:07:47 > 0:07:51because the park's herd of four gnus is set to almost double,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54with three more wildebeest coming from another collection today.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Keeper Ryan is looking forward to it.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02It's always exciting to have new animals turn up.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04We're all here to look after animals,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07and we all want to see the place grow and our herds expand.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10The three newcomers are just arriving at the park.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14But the next step, mixing them with the four who already live here,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17could be a very dangerous time.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19We've got to see how they all rub along.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Because they're all boys together, they might start fighting a bit.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Wildebeest are heard animals,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26and have a very strict hierarchy.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29In fact, they may fight to the death
0:08:29 > 0:08:32as they try and work out who's in charge.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33We'll be back later,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36to see how the introductions go.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46When you see a group of wildebeest walking along,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49you might think they look tired and depressed,
0:08:49 > 0:08:52with their heads hanging low to the ground.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54In fact, though,
0:08:54 > 0:08:56what they are doing is smelling.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59That's because wildebeest have scent glands in their hooves
0:08:59 > 0:09:01and they follow the smell of the rest of the herd.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Cheesy feet? I don't think that would work with humans!
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Why did the cow cross the road?
0:09:12 > 0:09:15To get to the UDDER side!
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Sssss!
0:09:17 > 0:09:20What's pink and goes "moo"?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23A pig with an identity crisis!
0:09:24 > 0:09:27SHE MOUTHS
0:09:27 > 0:09:31If the plural of hippopotamus is hippopotami,
0:09:31 > 0:09:33what's the plural of what a fool am us?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35What a fool am I!
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Our Roar Rangers today are best friends
0:09:50 > 0:09:53and budding ballerinas,
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Molly and Cassie.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58But they won't need those ballet shoes today -
0:09:58 > 0:10:00wellies will be more useful!
0:10:02 > 0:10:04These two are animal-mad
0:10:04 > 0:10:07and between them they look after three cats,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10two dogs and a hamster called Lola.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14So what animal would they like to look after today?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I'd love to see lions.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18And meerkats.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Meerkats, I love meerkats.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22They're, like, meerkats.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23BOTH: But not POO!
0:10:23 > 0:10:25No poo?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Well, that would be a first for a Roar Ranger!
0:10:27 > 0:10:30We're giving Molly and Cassie just two clues to help them
0:10:30 > 0:10:33guess what they'll be doing today.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Clue number one,
0:10:35 > 0:10:37a lettuce.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Clue number two, some eggshells.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43It's lettuce, might be what they eat,
0:10:43 > 0:10:46yeah, and some weird eggs cracked.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49That might be what they eat, crack the eggs.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52OK, girls, it's time to make your mind up.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54It's a gorilla, gorillas eat lettuce.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I think it's a snake because snakes eat eggs and they're slimy.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Want to have a bet?- Yeah!
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I bet the only person
0:11:02 > 0:11:06who can tell you is the keeper you'll be working with.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Hi guys!- BOTH: Hi!
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Welcome to Animal Adventure. I'm Kim, your keeper.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14So, I've got some things for you.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Who wants the pink ones?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Cassie, you can have them.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20You have the pink? Yours are yellow.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21- Thank you.- You might need these...
0:11:21 > 0:11:23OK!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Still no idea yet?
0:11:25 > 0:11:26BOTH: No!
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Washing some animals? - Oh, getting closer!
0:11:29 > 0:11:31You can have that one
0:11:31 > 0:11:33and you can have this one.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Very nice! Exactly what we need!
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Well, they certainly look the part,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42but what animal is it?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44You were given the shells,
0:11:44 > 0:11:47because we're washing that part of the animal
0:11:47 > 0:11:49and lettuce, because that's what they eat.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- Any ideas now?- Oh, possibly birds.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56It's actually the tortoises! We're going to bath some tortoises today.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01- Amazing!- I love tortoises! Tortoises are so cute.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Shall we go off and find them? Let's go.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12There are 34 tortoises here from four different species
0:12:12 > 0:12:14and Kim needs a hand
0:12:14 > 0:12:16with bathtime.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17This is Sandra
0:12:17 > 0:12:21and she's one of our adult female tortoises,
0:12:21 > 0:12:23so we've got a nice, big bowl here
0:12:23 > 0:12:26and some warm water. So if you want to lift one of these
0:12:26 > 0:12:29nice watering cans full of water
0:12:29 > 0:12:32and empty it into the bowl. Not too deep, though, just enough...
0:12:32 > 0:12:36keep going. Wonderful. That's it! Fantastic!
0:12:36 > 0:12:40So what we do now is we put Sandra down into the water, all right.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44I've got some very special tools for you to use,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47one for you,
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- one for you.- Thank you.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52The tortoise's shell is made of living tissue
0:12:52 > 0:12:54with pores or tiny holes in it.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57So it's important to keep it clean.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59A shallow bath helps keep the shell healthy.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01I never thought I'd be bathing a tortoise!
0:13:01 > 0:13:03With a toothbrush!
0:13:03 > 0:13:06But while the girls are gently cleaning Sandra's top,
0:13:06 > 0:13:08there's been some action from her bottom!
0:13:08 > 0:13:11She's just done a bit of a poo!
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Lovely!
0:13:13 > 0:13:15MOLLY LAUGHS
0:13:15 > 0:13:20We've got a number two in the bowl... have to get rid of that.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23And how do best friends decide? Ching, chang, chong, of course!
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Ching, chang, chong!
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Ha-ha! Off you go!
0:13:27 > 0:13:30You've got gloves on, so you should be all right.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Lovely!
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Don't put it over me!
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Pop it on the ground behind you and we'll tidy it up, after.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44It's, like, rubbery!
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Cleaning up tortoise poo was a yucky job,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49so now comes the reward,
0:13:49 > 0:13:52meeting Sandra's daughter.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Let's just hope she doesn't poo, too!
0:13:54 > 0:13:56BOTH: Ohh!
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Tortoises can live for up to 100 years, so they may be sweet,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03but you need to think carefully
0:14:03 > 0:14:05before having one as a pet.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06It's a big responsibility.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09This one, her name is Hamble,
0:14:09 > 0:14:13and Hamble is Sandra's daughter.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16So we've got mum and we've got baby!
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Bring them up close to each other, you can see the size difference.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22So diddy, diddy little tortoise
0:14:22 > 0:14:25and not quite so big but she's a lot bigger.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27She's tiny!
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- She's a lot lighter than her mum. - Yeah!
0:14:30 > 0:14:31So cute!
0:14:33 > 0:14:35But their day isn't over yet.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Kim has got a surprise for these two.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40You've done a fantastic job helping with our tortoises,
0:14:40 > 0:14:43that I've arranged for them to go up to the giraffery,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45meet Bev and go and see the big, big tortoises there!
0:14:47 > 0:14:49And when Kim says big, she means big!
0:14:49 > 0:14:52The next tortoises the girls meet
0:14:52 > 0:14:55can grow to weigh as much as a fully grown man.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00We'll see how they get on later in the programme.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08We've come down to Animal Adventure to help Darren with some training.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10- I've heard of training dogs... - And training birds...
0:15:10 > 0:15:13but have you ever heard of training pigs?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Darren, you have the Kune Kune pigs. Who have we got here?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19We've got Rufus, which is this one here
0:15:19 > 0:15:21and Wilbur who's the noisy one!
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Rufus and Wilbur.- Is that you training them to stand?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Very good, Darren!
0:15:25 > 0:15:27They certainly recognise us.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30I mean, pigs can be trained, they're like dogs.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33They can be taught to heel and fetch and sit.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Why would you want to train a pig?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38It's to keep their brains active. They're intelligent creatures.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40We give them their food on a plate,
0:15:40 > 0:15:43so to get out, do stuff, that's important,
0:15:43 > 0:15:44but also, control.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46I don't want them coming out and biting people,
0:15:46 > 0:15:49biting visitors, so the idea is if we can control them,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I can bring them with no worries at all, and we can say, "Heel"
0:15:52 > 0:15:55and I walk them round and everybody can get close.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57For today, really, they're only at stage one.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00The first stage...you ready, I'm going to open the door...
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Are they safe?
0:16:01 > 0:16:05We've never actually gone in with the Kune Kune pigs before.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06They are dribble monsters
0:16:06 > 0:16:10and they do have big, sharp teeth. You have to be aware
0:16:10 > 0:16:13if we put our fingers in that mouth they could take your finger,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16so you've got to be aware. I have some treats and stuff,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18but it's no fingers in mouth.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20All right! Let's do it! I'm eager!
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Which one is that again? Wilbur?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25That's Wilbur and this is Rufus.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Wilbur! Rufus!
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- Good piggy!- Keep my fingers away from you!
0:16:30 > 0:16:32What we'll do, eventually, you still need a reward,
0:16:32 > 0:16:34if you're good you get a reward.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36What do you feed them on?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38This is a commercial nut,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41it's a low fat nut, so they don't know.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43There's nothing in this, really.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Looks a bit like my finger!
0:16:45 > 0:16:48The idea is now, hopefully, I'm going to take
0:16:48 > 0:16:50bits of apple with Rani,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53if you chuck a few down, keep them here.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57- We're going to walk away. - They can jump!
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- I didn't know pigs could jump! - I've got to keep the pigs occupied.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I've never done this before.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Johny, you're doing a good job.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07You've got the right tone, but it's not about tone, is it -
0:17:07 > 0:17:08it's food!
0:17:08 > 0:17:11It's about tone, so you'll use your best pig-calling voice.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15Bear in mind we've only got apple, he's got yummy biscuits down there.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18They should come because they recognise I'm with you,
0:17:18 > 0:17:21and hopefully they should come like dogs.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Wilbur! Rufus!
0:17:23 > 0:17:25I'm running out of treats, guys!
0:17:25 > 0:17:28We've got some tasty apples! And here comes Rufus!
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Hey! And again, we will reward for that!
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Well done!- Look at that!
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- Brilliant! Good, good! - They're good, aren't they?
0:17:37 > 0:17:40The next thing is, are we going to send them back to Johnny?
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Hopefully! If he calls,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44they may not come back, but if I walk with them, they should.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- We try...- I love it! Oh, look!
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- Good boy!- Traitor!
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Rufus, come back!
0:17:53 > 0:17:55He wants some biscuits! He loves the biscuit!
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Darren, do they know their names?
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Yes, very much so. They can recognise words and sounds.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03When we eventually go to the word "sit" and "heel",
0:18:03 > 0:18:06just like a dog, they will follow those commands.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Shall we try that? Wilbur, sit!
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- Sit!- Sit!
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Roll over! Yes!
0:18:13 > 0:18:15I think I've got work to do. We'll get to that.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19So now, in a minute, I'm going to walk them back.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21They've got to come with me, go to bed. I'll thank them,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23that's good manners.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25You're trying to teach a pig manners.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Good luck with that, we've got to...
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Don't forget your manners! Thanks very much, Darren.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Come on then, pigs!
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Pig, pig, pig...
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Back down in the jungle area
0:18:44 > 0:18:48and the trailer carrying the three new wildebeest has arrived.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49The keepers want
0:18:49 > 0:18:52to mix them with the park's existing herd of four males
0:18:52 > 0:18:54straight away.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Everyone hopes it will go smoothly, but they are not taking any chances.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Today I'll be manning the gates.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03We're going to lock down the facility and make sure none
0:19:03 > 0:19:05of the animals in the jungle get out,
0:19:05 > 0:19:07and all the animals that are meant to get in
0:19:07 > 0:19:10get in safe and sound. That's why I'm here today.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15The wildebeest have had a four-hour journey
0:19:15 > 0:19:16to get to the park,
0:19:16 > 0:19:19and while every measure's been taken for their safety,
0:19:19 > 0:19:21it's hard to predict how they'll travel.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Our main concern today is that they turn up safely,
0:19:24 > 0:19:28but sometimes when animals are moved from one place to another,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30you can never be 100% sure
0:19:30 > 0:19:33that they haven't injured themselves during the journey.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Easy, tiger.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44The safari park's current herd of wildebeest
0:19:44 > 0:19:46are watching the new arrivals closely.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Easy, boy. Steady, steady, steady.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Will they give a friendly welcome or will they fight?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Just what you'd expect, really.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13They're all boys together. A bit boisterous, and,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16"Who are you? You're new, and this is our territory."
0:20:16 > 0:20:20It's what we call handbags. Hitting each other with handbags.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24The new boys have taken themselves off on their own.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25Give it a little while,
0:20:25 > 0:20:26they'll bond and get on together
0:20:26 > 0:20:28and start acting like a herd.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31I think the three little guys will integrate into it.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34As soon as they know their place, everything will be good
0:20:34 > 0:20:37and hopefully they'll run as a group. They're all gnu.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Keeper Ryan will keep a close eye on the herd while they settle in.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Quite pleased with the way it's going at the moment.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49It's nice to see our older guys putting their heads down and grazing,
0:20:49 > 0:20:51so I think they're more or less over it.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Though it's early days, I certainly think it's a job well done.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56We'll be back later in the series
0:20:56 > 0:20:58to see how the wildebeest -
0:20:58 > 0:21:00or should that be gnus? -
0:21:00 > 0:21:01are getting on.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05It's cheat code time
0:21:05 > 0:21:07for the Roar game.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08Type in wood23
0:21:08 > 0:21:10and see what you get!
0:21:10 > 0:21:12New treats,
0:21:12 > 0:21:14new animals,
0:21:14 > 0:21:15even a new enclosure.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Just remember, keep checking up
0:21:17 > 0:21:20on your park on the CBBC website
0:21:20 > 0:21:21to make sure your animals are OK.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Happy gaming!
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Our Roar Rangers have had a mixed day so far.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37There was the surprise of
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Sandra the tortoise's bath poo.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Lovely(!)
0:21:41 > 0:21:43SHE LAUGHS
0:21:43 > 0:21:45But meeting her baby daughter
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- more than made up.- Awww!
0:21:48 > 0:21:50But there's still work to do, and they've come to meet
0:21:50 > 0:21:53keeper Bev and her giant tortoises.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- Hi, girls.- Hi.- I'm Bev. Who are you?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- I'm Molly.- And I'm Cassie.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Hello, Cassie. I've heard off Kim that you've done
0:21:59 > 0:22:03really well at Animal Adventure, and you've come up here for a treat.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04- Is that right? - Yeah.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06OK, well I've got something for you,
0:22:06 > 0:22:09so come in here with me, and I'll show you our guys.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Meet Michelle and Rex.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16The two enormous
0:22:16 > 0:22:18African spurred tortoises.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19As well as being the third-largest
0:22:19 > 0:22:21giant tortoise you can find,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24they're actually the largest
0:22:24 > 0:22:26mainland tortoise.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29OK, girls, what we've got today is melon to give to Mich,
0:22:29 > 0:22:31which she'll absolutely love,
0:22:31 > 0:22:34and sometimes she gets very excited and will really, really bite at it.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37So what I need you to do is just hold it at the tip.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- So if I give you a piece each, hold it at the tip like that.- Thank you.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43And just put it in front of her mouth, and hold on to it.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Put the top end, that's it.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Oh!
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Wow! Let's see that again.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54Whoever said that tortoises were slow - not true.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57In the wild, these giants live in dry areas
0:22:57 > 0:22:59along the edge of the Sahara desert.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03- Has she got a tongue?- She's got a tongue, but she hasn't any teeth.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05But she does have a very sharp beak.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- Will they grow teeth? - No, not at all.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09All tortoises tend to have more of a beak,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11so all along here is very, very sharp.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14That's why you've got to mind your fingers and keep them
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- at the end of the melon. - Very messy!
0:23:16 > 0:23:19She does get very messy all round her mouth.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Will she eat the skin?
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Yeah. She's so strong. She's got such a powerful jaw.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- They're just like humans' eyes. - It's dribbling!
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Has she had any babies?
0:23:29 > 0:23:32At the moment, she's laid eggs
0:23:32 > 0:23:34and things like that, but she hasn't bred properly.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37But we've just put her together with a new male and that's Rex.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39- He's in this paddock somewhere. - There!
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- Do you want to meet Rex?- Yeah.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Come with me. He's coming over!
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Now, Rex is extra-cute.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48He's a bit smaller.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Stick that in front of his face
0:23:50 > 0:23:52and see if he wants anything to eat.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55But this is Rexy, and he's our little boy.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Little boy? He's enormous!
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Rex will grow to around 70 kilograms.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05That's the same as a fully-grown adult,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07or around 130 lettuces.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Having washed one of the smallest tortoises on the park,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14now it's time to bathe the biggest.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18OK, girls. What we need to do is just pop him down in.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21And if I slide him in, he'll probably be a bit grumpy,
0:24:21 > 0:24:25but if you girls come round this side and just splash him.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27There's some on his head.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28This is nice warm water,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30it's been in this pond all morning,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33so it's a nice temperature for him
0:24:33 > 0:24:35so he's not too cold.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Having spent the day caring for both large and small,
0:24:42 > 0:24:46how do our two keepers think the Roar Rangers have done?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48It's very important for anyone to learn about
0:24:48 > 0:24:51how to look after animals well, and obviously
0:24:51 > 0:24:53as well as the treats you get to do,
0:24:53 > 0:24:55like feeding and holding and being close to an animal,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58you've also got to pick up their poo and give them a wash
0:24:58 > 0:25:00and do the dirty jobs as well.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01I didn't think we'd use a toothbrush.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04I thought it'd be like a small scrubbing brush
0:25:04 > 0:25:05- or something like that.- Yeah.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I think they make fantastic keepers,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09especially small animal keepers.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- BOTH:- We love tortoises!
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Last year on Roar, we were there
0:25:24 > 0:25:26when one of the sweetest animals ever
0:25:26 > 0:25:28arrived at the park - baby Ebun
0:25:28 > 0:25:29the rhino.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32She'd come from Germany
0:25:32 > 0:25:35and had been hand-reared because her mother couldn't look after her.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38She was just one year old, and still needed her daily milk.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42But just look at her now.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45It is nearly the end of today's show,
0:25:45 > 0:25:48but before we leave you, we thought we'd catch up with keeper Ross.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- Hi, Ross.- Hi. - And find out how Ebun is doing.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- So, how is she doing? - She's doing really well now.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Over the last year or so, she's really becoming a rhino,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59being part of the crush, growing up a bit, really.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01You know, what's incredible is,
0:26:01 > 0:26:04I'm going to sound like a granny here, but hasn't she grown?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- You could sound like a grandad, Johny!- OK, yeah, a grandad.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10But it's amazing that she's grown so quickly.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11She looks like a proper rhino now.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- She's not a baby any more, is she? - Yeah.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- How old is she?- About two years old now.- Fully grown?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18No, she's got a bit more growing to do.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19If she stayed like that,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21she'd be pint-size.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23I saw one of the bigger rhinos nudge her a little bit.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Is she getting on with the others or is she getting bullied?
0:26:26 > 0:26:30When she first came here, they were a bit wary of her, obviously.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Rosina took a little bit longer than the others
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- to get used to her, and used to hit her about a bit.- Awww!
0:26:35 > 0:26:38But that's a rhino thing, it's not a nasty thing.
