0:00:02 > 0:00:05Today on Roar, the lion cubs are finally coming out to
0:00:05 > 0:00:07where the visitors can see them.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11Are they ready for their first public performance?
0:00:37 > 0:00:40- Hello and welcome to Roar. I'm Johny.- And I'm Rani.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43The amazing ants can carry more than their body weight,
0:00:43 > 0:00:46so Johny has challenged me to carry him.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51- I'm ready, go!- Put your back into it! Come on!- OK, hang on!
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- You can do better than that, Rani. Come on.- OK.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Shall we just get on with today's show?
0:00:57 > 0:01:00I don't know about ants, that was pants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05On Roar today, we've got a baby theme going.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09As well as the lion cubs, we'll catch up with the newborn giraffe.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13He's Gertrude's first baby. So, how's he coping?
0:01:15 > 0:01:19He's grown a bit since we saw him take his first swim,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22but is Riley the sealion still a big kid?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27When is a tortoise all soft to stroke?
0:01:27 > 0:01:31When they're a tiny baby, just a few days old.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33It is still soft, isn't it?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41We're starting off with the lions,
0:01:41 > 0:01:45because they're in for a challenging day.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Six months ago, Nilbalo arrived from Germany
0:01:48 > 0:01:50to become the new pride male.
0:01:50 > 0:01:5512 weeks ago, the lioness named Yendi had four beautiful cubs.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01So far, the cubs and Nilbalo have been confined to the lion house
0:02:01 > 0:02:05and the enclosure outside they call the paddock.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09They've never been in the much larger enclosure that lies beyond.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12That's a section of the safari park where the public can see them,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15as they drive through in their cars.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19But now, Nilbalo and the cubs will soon be out there,
0:02:19 > 0:02:23along with all the lionesses, enjoying the run of that big space.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26If everything goes to plan.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Keeper Bob Trollope has got his fingers crossed.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Big day today.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33It's quite an exciting day,
0:02:33 > 0:02:37because we are letting Nilbalo out for the first time, into the section.
0:02:37 > 0:02:43And, also, the cubs. It's going to be quite a nerve-wracking day, I think.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45We don't know what's going to happen.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Obviously, Nilbalo coming from Germany,
0:02:48 > 0:02:52he's never been out here, he's spent six months in quarantine.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55The cubs have never been out here, so it's going to be exciting.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Today is also feed day,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01so Bob's scattering some meat around for when they come out.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05The enclosure is ready, but are the keepers?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08We've got to play it as it goes.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12There are going to be several things going on at any one time.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14There's four cubs that are going to be running around
0:03:14 > 0:03:16all over the place.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Mum's going to be trying to keep an eye on them, the rest of them are
0:03:19 > 0:03:22going to be playing, there's going to be a lot to keep your eyes on.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26We're going to have a few members of staff in here initially.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Until they get used to it, we will be keeping an extra eye on them.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37To avoid any fighting, the feisty lionesses will be released first.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Then the mum Yendi and her cubs.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43And when they've all settled down, Nilbalo.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46The keepers are in position.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50The lionesses have been in doors all night, so they're raring to go.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- 'Are you ready?'- Yeah, we are ready.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57As soon as the gate is open, the lionesses
0:03:57 > 0:04:01streak across the paddock and straight out into the big enclosure.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Next up are Yendi and her cubs.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11The youngsters have never seen anything like the section before.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14It's exciting, but also scary.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Stay tuned to see what happens
0:04:18 > 0:04:21when the little cubs meet the big outdoors.
0:04:27 > 0:04:33When it comes to baby giraffes, Longleat has a great track record.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Over the years, they've had over 110 successful births,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39including three last year,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42when we saw little Kaiser, Kate and Kruger.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46This year, we had some great news,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49when first-time mum Gertrude had a baby.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54But even better, we managed to get footage of the actual birth,
0:04:54 > 0:04:57which happened in the middle of the night.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58- Aw!- There you go.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01It's a big old drop!
0:05:01 > 0:05:04The baby is now three weeks old.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06So I've met up with keeper Andy
0:05:06 > 0:05:07to get a clearer look.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I did see the footage, it was very exciting stuff,
0:05:11 > 0:05:15but now I want to see the little one, in person.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Is he behind me?- He is. He's over there, hobbling around.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21SHE SHRIEKS
0:05:21 > 0:05:26- We can see him! Now, we are saying he...- He.- Officially a he?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- It is officially a little boy.- Name?
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- Because you said you wouldn't name it until it was a week old.- Yep.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- We've named him Lewa.- Lewa?
0:05:35 > 0:05:41After a game reserve in Africa that Longleat supports.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45He's an endangered Kenyan species of giraffe, we call him Lewa.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49You say endangered, what are we talking about?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52There's about 500 Rothschild giraffes left in the world,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55so they are very endangered.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00Every birth we have is very important, but it's Gertrude's
0:06:00 > 0:06:04first baby and she's done brilliantly.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07We were talking about this last time, you were slightly
0:06:07 > 0:06:10nervous of Gertrude, you said she was doing well in the enclosure.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14We just saw a little bit of footage there, now she's out
0:06:14 > 0:06:16and he is out, how is she doing?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Is she still being a great mummy?
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Right from word go, when myself and Bev went in about 1am
0:06:22 > 0:06:26and she was licking the baby, it just allayed all our fears.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31It worked beautifully, it really did. She's been a very attentive mum
0:06:31 > 0:06:35and he's a very good lad. I say he stays near Mum, Mum's over there...
0:06:35 > 0:06:38This is what I was going to ask! There is Lewa there, he's just
0:06:38 > 0:06:42wandering off, making use of this great field. Which one is Gertie?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Gertrude is the one just through here.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47There's one bent over, a small one,
0:06:47 > 0:06:50and Gertrude's the tall one with the white face.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Just here?- That's the mum, yeah. - She is looking that way.- Yep.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57How protective of a mum is she? Is she always keeping an eye on him?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Yeah, she is and she's very good, if she thinks he's
0:07:00 > 0:07:03getting in trouble, she'll go over and look after him.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Again, this is perfect, because she's not being over attentive,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10she's letting him toddle around and he's gone over there.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13He's not even toddling! You say toddling, he's kind of walking fine!
0:07:15 > 0:07:19It's brilliant seeing him! Get him big, get him strong.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21To be honest, he's off on his own adventures. Hopefully, that
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- will continue. Thanks, Andy.- That's OK, Rani.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Most animals have loads of different names.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40For example, the Canadian Timber Wolf
0:07:40 > 0:07:43can also be called the Mackenzie Valley Wolf.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Some people call it the Northwestern Wolf.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50You'd still be right if you just said the grey wolf.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55So, to avoid confusion, every single animal has also been given
0:07:55 > 0:08:01a scientific name which uses Latin, that's the language of ancient Rome.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06The Latin name for these guys is...
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Hmm. No wonder the keepers stick to names like Frida and Nobby.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17THEY HOWL
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Be afraid! Be very afraid! It's time for Ask The Keeper.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48THEY LAUGH
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Can you feel the fear, Liam? - I can feel the fear.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54There's quite a lot of excitement going on, but I'm ready for it.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57I don't think you are ready for this lot. They've got some serious
0:08:57 > 0:09:00questions about the prairie dogs. Who's going first?
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Where did they originate from?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03These are black-tailed prairie dogs
0:09:03 > 0:09:04and they're found on the
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Great Plains of North America.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08What type of food do they eat?
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Their staple diet is actually prairie grasses, hence the name prairie dog,
0:09:12 > 0:09:16but they'll eat all sorts of seeds, other types of roots and shoots,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19some berries if they can find them, mainly just grasses and seeds.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22How long has the name prairie dogs been in use for?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25They were found about 200 years ago, eating prairie grasses,
0:09:25 > 0:09:29that's where the prairie bit comes from. The name dog is because when
0:09:29 > 0:09:31they talk to each other, they bark like dogs.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- So, prairie dogs.- Are they related to dogs?- No.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38The name suggests you might think so, but no. They're actually a rodent.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40They're related to squirrels and rabbits.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43I can't believe you got that one right. Unbelievable.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47We're going to have to ramp up the pressure, he's a tough nut to crack.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Have you got a good question, Stella?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51In the wild, do other animals eat them?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Prairie dogs have a lot of predators, which is
0:09:53 > 0:09:55why they live so close together.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Things like coyotes will eat them, and eagles.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01How do they defended themselves against predators?
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Their best defence is numbers.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06They have a couple of sentries on each tunnel mound,
0:10:06 > 0:10:10on which one will stand around and look out for predators or whatever
0:10:10 > 0:10:12types of danger, and they'll make a little bark to tell them,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15"Quick, run away and hide, this is coming."
0:10:15 > 0:10:17But their best defence is just to hide in the tunnels,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20because they go very deep and not a lot is going to get in there.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23What is the Latin name for a prairie dog?
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Do you know, you've stumped me on this one. I haven't got a clue.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Chloe, put it there! That's what I'm talking about. Yes!
0:10:31 > 0:10:34We got you, finally. You know everything about prairie dogs.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Stella, have you got one? - Do they live in groups?- They do.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39What they actually do is they live in big things called towns.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42So, imagine how many families live in a town.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44They have lots of different prairie dog families
0:10:44 > 0:10:48in a town, which can be about 100 acres spread across a Great Plain.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Miles and miles of different sorts of tunnels where they sleep.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53A big family consists of about 20 prairie dogs.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56They would have neighbourhoods of each 20 prairie dogs
0:10:56 > 0:10:57and that keeps expanding.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02The biggest one ever found was 400 million prairie dogs.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Liam, I can't believe it!
0:11:03 > 0:11:06That was our killer question before we even got to ask it!
0:11:06 > 0:11:09For the first time ever, you have aced Ask The Keeper.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Your name is Liam Crowne, I give you the crown.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14You're the king of Ask The Keeper. Unbelievable!
0:11:14 > 0:11:16That's got to be a thumbs up all round.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- Oh, yeah.- I'm quite happy to take that crown, thank you very much.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24In case you're wondering,
0:11:24 > 0:11:27the Latin name for the black-tailed prairie dog is...
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Shame we didn't save that for the killer question.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Would you keep a bison in your bedroom?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46How about a lion in the lounge?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50With the Roar online game, you can have a whole
0:11:50 > 0:11:53park full of animals in the comfort of your own home.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57You'll find our game on the CBBC website.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00But, before you check it out, make a note of today's cheat code.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Happy gaming!
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Back with the lions, Yendi and her cubs are about to be
0:12:16 > 0:12:18released into the big drive-through enclosure.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23For the youngsters, this will be an all-new experience
0:12:23 > 0:12:25and no-one knows how they will react.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Bob and the other keepers are standing by in their vehicles,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31in case anything goes wrong.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37And here they come. But they stop in the middle of the paddock.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40They don't know where to go next.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Here comes Mum, she knows the way!
0:12:45 > 0:12:48But the cubs don't follow.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51The cubs are slightly hesitant. They've seen Mum go out
0:12:51 > 0:12:54and they can see the others out, but they haven't quite
0:12:54 > 0:12:56worked out how to get out. There's a great big...
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Oh, here they come!
0:12:59 > 0:13:03But they are still not sure.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06This is as far as they have ever been before.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09One more step and they will be on new territory.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Eventually, the bravest two venture out.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21But the other two need some more encouragement.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26I'll just go in the paddock and try and edge them out a bit,
0:13:26 > 0:13:28see if that will help.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Get out!
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Very carefully, Bob drives his vehicle in to try
0:13:37 > 0:13:39and shoo them out.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44But the cubs retreat right into the corner.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47And now, they can see their brother and sister through the fence,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50but can't work out how to join them.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56There is a small gate in this corner,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59but it can only be opened from the other side.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Is there any chance you could come over to the paddock
0:14:02 > 0:14:04and open this little gate?
0:14:04 > 0:14:08We've got two in here panicking, climbing up the fences and things.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22But when the keeper comes to open the gate, the two cubs scatter.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25This could get serious.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29The cubs must feel cut off and they are starting to panic.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Don't go away, we'll see what happens very soon.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46In our last series, we got to meet a sea lion pup named Riley,
0:14:46 > 0:14:49when he was just one day old.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53And we were there two days later when he took his first swim.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Today, I've popped down to see how he is getting on.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00- I brought him a fishy treat! Mark, how are you doing?- Hi.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03I've come to see Riley. Why aren't we at Sea Lion Beach?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07This is where we have to bring them, to wean them away from their mothers.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10That's why I've brought the treat, then. Look at him!
0:15:10 > 0:15:13He's looking really well! Not you, you're a big one. Who are you?
0:15:13 > 0:15:18- This is Jazz.- Hi, Jazz! How is Riley getting on?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20He's doing really well.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23He was one of the quickest sea lions to wean.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27He was eating bits of mackerel in two days.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- How long does it normally take? - It can take anything up to two weeks.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32What would happen in the wild?
0:15:32 > 0:15:36In the wild, the parents would just give them the cold shoulder,
0:15:36 > 0:15:40and tell them off, push them away.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43So they would have no other choice but to go out
0:15:43 > 0:15:44and find fish for themselves.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47How are Riley and Jazz getting on in here?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49They get on really well.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53They are very sociable animals and they like company.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56It's good for them to play together, especially when we're doing things
0:15:56 > 0:16:00like this. It can make it a bit of a free-for-all.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02What age is Riley now?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05He's just over a year. About a year and two weeks, I think.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09So, one year old and fully weaned, does that make him an adult?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Definitely not, he's still a child at heart.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14You can tell by the way he messes about.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19It'll be about four to five years before he is classed as an adult.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Then will he be the size of Buster, or is Buster just something
0:16:23 > 0:16:27else and he's never going to get as big as that?
0:16:27 > 0:16:31It would take at least ten years to get to Buster's size.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32- And a lot of fish.- A lot of fish.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34OK, Mark, let's get throwing in the fish!
0:16:44 > 0:16:47What's a lamb's favourite place?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49The baath.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51SHE BARKS
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Why don't cheetahs take baths?
0:16:53 > 0:16:56I don't know, why don't they take baths?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58They don't want to be spotless.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Miaow!
0:17:00 > 0:17:04What kind of fish do soldiers like?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Swordfish.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09THEY LAUGH
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Here on Roar, we love getting the first shots of a new
0:17:34 > 0:17:36arrival at the park. I'm here with keeper Sarah,
0:17:36 > 0:17:40because she's got something very special to show us.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Sarah, who is this incredibly cute little guy here?
0:17:42 > 0:17:47This is our new addition. It's a baby spur-thighed tortoise.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51I'm kind of keeping my voice down, should I be? Will I scare it?
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- No, I wouldn't worry too much. I'm sure it's fine.- He is so cute!
0:17:54 > 0:18:00- How old is he?- About three or four days. Not very old at all.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08- Is this Mum and Dad we've got here? - This is Mum, Dawn. And Sid is Dad.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Mum's a lot bigger than Dad!
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Females get quite a lot bigger than the males,
0:18:13 > 0:18:18so they are probably roughly the same age, but they will keep growing,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20and the females get quite a lot bigger.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23How come the baby isn't with Mum and Dad?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Would that not naturally happen in the wild?
0:18:26 > 0:18:30In the wild, Mum would lay the eggs, cover them over and just leave them.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33When they hatch, they are completely on their own from the off.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36What's different about a baby than the parents, because that just looks
0:18:36 > 0:18:40like an exact miniature of these guys?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43There are a few things you can notice, it being a baby.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46If you look underneath,
0:18:46 > 0:18:50that tiny little patch here is where it was connected to the egg, inside.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53So, it's connected to the yolk,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55and that's what keeps it alive during the time in the egg.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58It's like the umbilical cord, so to speak?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Yeah, it's like his belly button.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05When they come out, the egg yolk's absorbed and that's their first meal.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06Gradually, it closes over.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11You can see a white line across here, that's where he was folded over.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16It's quite cramped in the egg and he was folded over and squished in.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20He straightens out in the first few days after hatching.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- His shell is still quite soft.- Could I have a very gentle touch?- Yeah.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26I'm terrible with babies!
0:19:26 > 0:19:28You hold it, please.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- That is still soft. - It's not hard yet.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35How long will it be before he has a proper hard shell like Mum and Dad?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38It'll be a few weeks. It'll take a little while
0:19:38 > 0:19:40for it to harden completely.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42He went through incubation, didn't he?
0:19:42 > 0:19:46We take the eggs and put them in an incubator
0:19:46 > 0:19:50because the temperatures of our British summer aren't always steady
0:19:50 > 0:19:52and the eggs need to be kept at a certain temperature all
0:19:52 > 0:19:55the way through, otherwise they won't hatch properly.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58We need a bit of control, that's why we dug the eggs up from where
0:19:58 > 0:20:01she laid them and put them in an incubator.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03How many eggs did she lay? Is this quite a big deal?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05It's quite exciting for me to see a baby tortoise.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- Is this a big deal for you? - It's really exciting.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13She laid four eggs in that clutch and we put them all in.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Hopefully, the others will hatch as well.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21It's always really exciting, you never get tired of it.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23It's one of the best parts of the job.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Thank you for sharing it with us.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28It's amazing to see this baby tortoise.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- Will you invite us back when the others hatch?- Definitely.- Awesome.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43The Nile crocodile is huge.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46It can grow more than six metres long
0:20:46 > 0:20:50and weigh almost three-quarters of a ton.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52They also have an enormous appetite.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54When they catch their prey,
0:20:54 > 0:20:57these guys can eat up to half their own bodyweight.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01That's like scoffing Johny
0:21:01 > 0:21:04and a whole gang of Ask The Keeper kids put together.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Back with the lions, two of the cubs have become cut off from the others.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19The gates are open to let them out
0:21:19 > 0:21:21into the big drive-through enclosure,
0:21:21 > 0:21:25but they just can't find their way.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Just as the two cubs are on the verge of panic,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33here is Mum, Yendi, to the rescue.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Hopefully, now, Mum will take them all out.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45There's always one, isn't there?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Bob inches forward and moves the last one along.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55In no time, they are making the most of the big new space.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19So far, so good. Fingers are crossed, I think we can relax a little bit.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21They've been really good,
0:22:21 > 0:22:25the cubs haven't ventured too far away from Mum.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Now, they've found some of the meat Bob spread round.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32They've never had big bits like this,
0:22:32 > 0:22:34so they don't know what to do with it.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Luckily, their mum doesn't mind them playing with their food.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Just as long as they don't play with hers.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56Ouch! Don't worry, lions are tough, even little ones.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Now, Nilbalo has come out too.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03He's not bothered about being in a new enclosure,
0:23:03 > 0:23:07all he's interested in is getting some of that food.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13We are going to keep a few vehicles in here today, just initially.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18There is a lot for one person to keep an eye on.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21It's going to be a busy old day today.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Before long, the cubs are too busy playing to get up to mischief.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29And the adults just want to lounge in the sun.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35If only the kids would give them some peace.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09It's almost the end of the show but,
0:24:09 > 0:24:12before we leave, we've found just enough time to meet a man
0:24:12 > 0:24:15with many talons, it's Jimmy from the hawk conservancy.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- Hi, Jimmy, are you all right? - Yeah, not too bad.- Hi, Jimmy.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20We're the ones with lots of talons, because we've got
0:24:20 > 0:24:23these great birds on our arms. You have to tell us what we've got
0:24:23 > 0:24:25on our arms and the difference between their talons.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- All I can say is, Little and Large. - Yes!
0:24:27 > 0:24:30This little bird here is an African Lanner Falcon.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35One of the fastest predators on the planet. They can go incredibly quick.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38She's got specially adapted feet for catching birds in the sky,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40because that's what she'd normally feed on in the wild.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Because she does it at high-speed, she's got little shock absorbers
0:24:43 > 0:24:46under her talons, if you look really closely. Do you see that?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- Yes. Can I touch?- Yes.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53- They are really soft.- Yeah, they are! That's so she can land quietly?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55That's for when she strikes her prey.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58She uses her back talon as a dagger, to strike a bird in the sky.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01And so, she has her own version of shock absorbers underneath.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04With these bright feet, I'm surprised her prey doesn't
0:25:04 > 0:25:05see them and get away.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Yeah, but she is so quick, she can go over 100 miles per hour.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12That isn't a bird, THIS is a bird.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Tell us some more about this amazing hawk.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19She's an eagle, so she's a lot bigger than a hawk.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Eagles are some of the biggest birds in the world.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24She's a North American Bald Eagle.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28Bald is an old English word for white, because when she grows up,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31she will get a white head and a white tail.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32So she's not even fully grown yet?
0:25:32 > 0:25:36She is fully grown, she's a year and a half old, but she'll change
0:25:36 > 0:25:40her plumage, her feathers, when she's about four years old.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Talk us through her talons.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46She's got massive talons, which are mainly designed for catching fish.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48The undersides of her feet are very rough,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50so she can hold on to the fish.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Her talons are more curved than this little falcon,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56almost as fishing hooks. She's specially designed for catching fish.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00- So, she loves fish, what does this one love to eat?- Catching birds.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- Mainly birds?- Yes, small birds.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05How big are the birds? Because she's only tiny.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Similar sort of birds to pigeons. Are you all right?
0:26:09 > 0:26:14- Keep your arm nice and stiff. - Oh, my goodness! She is massive!
0:26:14 > 0:26:18That's incredible. Thank you. I'm so glad that you're here, Jimmy!
0:26:18 > 0:26:23She's incredibly heavy, I'm finding it hard to hold her up.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Be honest, who would win in a fight? - In a fight, right.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31- Seriously, you're asking that question?- We all want to know.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34She's the more powerful bird, she's got an amazing amount of power.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36He is a lot quicker.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40He would swallow him whole, but he's fast enough to keep out the way.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- So he's a lot quicker?- A lot quicker.- Who's the better hunter?
0:26:43 > 0:26:47Probably this one, because Bald Eagles scavenge in the wild.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- So they are a little bit lazier? - Yeah, a little bit lazier.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- I think I prefer you.- I'd love to say the same thing, but my arm is
0:26:54 > 0:26:56about to drop off. Before it does,
0:26:56 > 0:27:00why don't you lot see what's coming up on the next episode of Roar?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- See you. Can you take him back? - There you go.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Next time, we'll see who's smarter,
0:27:08 > 0:27:12the Roar crew or the rhesus macaque monkeys.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17I'll discover the curious charm of the leopard gecko.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19He's so cute and chilled out!
0:27:19 > 0:27:22If you're eating, look away now,
0:27:22 > 0:27:26because the Roar Ranger must tackle the anteaters,
0:27:26 > 0:27:30and they do the pongiest piles of poop in the place.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31Oh, wow!
