0:00:03 > 0:00:06Today on Roar, can a tiger pull a two and a half tonne truck

0:00:06 > 0:00:08with his teeth?

0:00:08 > 0:00:10That was unbelievable!

0:00:10 > 0:00:13We're going to find out just how strong they really are.

0:00:13 > 0:00:16I have got to say, I have never been so scared in my life.

0:00:41 > 0:00:45Hello and welcome to a rainbow coloured episode of Roar. I'm Rani.

0:00:45 > 0:00:49And I'm Johny. And this cool dude is Dante the panther chameleon.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52I've got to point out some of his colours. Look at this.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54He has got turquoise and white and green and yellow.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58That's kind of an amber or a copper colour.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01Rani, I think we get the idea. Shall we get on with the show?

0:01:01 > 0:01:03I haven't got into the shades of green.

0:01:03 > 0:01:07We've got a light green, dark green...

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Coming up today, Cessna the marmoset

0:01:11 > 0:01:15was bullied by the group so they've got her a new companion.

0:01:15 > 0:01:20Will he be mean like the others or the love of her life?

0:01:20 > 0:01:23They are gazing into each other's eyes.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25BOTH: We are ready!

0:01:25 > 0:01:30The Roar Rangers discover the downside of being a lorikeet keeper.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32One has pooed on my shoulder.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35And Joseph the baby wallaby may be growing up,

0:01:35 > 0:01:38but is he still cute and cuddly?

0:01:38 > 0:01:40You decide.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58We're starting out in Monkey Temple.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01because there's a problem with one of the common marmosets.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04These little monkeys are normally nothing but fun.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06They're inquisitive,

0:02:06 > 0:02:11friendly and they seem to find our cameras particularly interesting.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15In the wild, common marmosets live in highly organised social groups

0:02:15 > 0:02:19of about nine or 10, who are usually related to each other.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22There's a dominant male and female

0:02:22 > 0:02:24and they are the only ones in the group that breed.

0:02:26 > 0:02:30Here in the park, there are now 14 in this group,

0:02:30 > 0:02:33including two youngsters who were born earlier this year.

0:02:33 > 0:02:38The whole group was doing well until recently,

0:02:38 > 0:02:43when keeper Jo noticed there was a problem with a female named Cessna.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Every time she tried to climb up to the branches

0:02:45 > 0:02:49to see one of the others, a member of the family would bare their teeth,

0:02:49 > 0:02:53screwing their face up - "Go away, get down there."

0:02:53 > 0:02:57Not nice to see, but unfortunately it is one of those things that happens.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01With Cessna being picked on, Jo had no choice

0:03:01 > 0:03:04but to take her away from the others.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07She's now being kept in a separate enclosure.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11It is a shame but marmosets in the wild sometimes reject

0:03:11 > 0:03:15one of their own, probably to stop the group from becoming too large.

0:03:15 > 0:03:21Poor Cessna is now on her own and that's not good for marmosets.

0:03:21 > 0:03:22Primates don't do well on their own.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25They're like us humans, they need companionship.

0:03:25 > 0:03:31They need someone there with them for company and comfort.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35Because they've been brought up into and live within a family group,

0:03:35 > 0:03:38to be on their own can lead to stress.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43In the wild, Cessna would probably have found a new group to join.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47Here in the park it is up to the keepers to sort something out.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51The good news is Darren has managed to get hold of a male for Cessna

0:03:51 > 0:03:54so we can house them together

0:03:54 > 0:03:59and give the opportunity for Cessna to have a family of her own.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02The new male's name is Carlos.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05He has already arrived from another park.

0:04:06 > 0:04:11There's no way to know how Carlos and Cessna will react to each other.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15It could be love at first sight or it could be all out war.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18We'll see what happens later.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27The Siberian tiger is the world's largest cat.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30But how strong are they?

0:04:30 > 0:04:33The keepers have set up a test and I've come to help.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Heave! Heave!

0:04:37 > 0:04:40Come on, you lot. Put your back into it.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Gemma, are you pulling? - Yes!

0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Bob, deputy head keeper, come on! - I'm pulling! I'm pulling!

0:04:46 > 0:04:49You know what, this is never going to work.

0:04:49 > 0:04:54You said, "Rope pull challenge. Come on, Rani, we're pulling this truck."

0:04:54 > 0:04:56What's going on? We are not working as a team.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59- We are not going to do it. - What? We are not doing it?

0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Who is doing it? - The tigers.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04We're in the Tiger Enclosure.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06The tigers, they're over there. Safely locked away?

0:05:06 > 0:05:10- Safely locked away. - So we are safely out here.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12What is the plan today?

0:05:12 > 0:05:16The plan is, as you can see we've put a tow rope on this vehicle

0:05:16 > 0:05:18and a lure for the tigers.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22And they're going to grab that piece of wood, hopefully,

0:05:22 > 0:05:24and see how far they can pull this vehicle.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27OK, Gemma. He said a lure.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30A log, is that really something a tiger is going to be interested?

0:05:30 > 0:05:33We all know tigers love meat.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36But anything different in their enclosure,

0:05:36 > 0:05:39they will sniff about and hopefully they will pull it.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41These tigers need better toys!

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Shall we just lay it like this?

0:05:43 > 0:05:46Pull it out in a nice long line and hopefully they'll go for that.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49I wish I could say this rope stretched a little bit further

0:05:49 > 0:05:51if we are going to be in the truck.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54- This is the kind of distance we are going to be?- Hopefully.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57- There is a flaw in it, mind. - What's that?

0:05:57 > 0:06:00Because it is not a rigid thing, they might just grab it

0:06:00 > 0:06:04and run off that way, which is defeating the object a bit.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06Hang on, if they run off that way and we're all in the truck

0:06:06 > 0:06:08to see if they can pull the truck...

0:06:08 > 0:06:12I'll have to manoeuvre it so they are behind all the time.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15OK, I was getting worried that we would be going with them.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Let's get to the truck.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21- Let's get there safely and let the tigers out.- Yep.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23I like the sound of this. Let's go.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26Stay tuned because we'll be back in tiger territory very soon.

0:06:32 > 0:06:36What part of the computer was the cat looking at?

0:06:36 > 0:06:37The mouse.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39LAUGHTER

0:06:40 > 0:06:44A chicken and James Bond are crossing the road.

0:06:44 > 0:06:48James Bond said, "I'm Bond, James Bond. Who are you?"

0:06:48 > 0:06:50The chicken said, "I'm Ken, Chick Ken."

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Oo-oo-oo-oo!

0:06:52 > 0:06:54What kind of monkey fires out cannons?

0:06:56 > 0:06:58A baboom.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01LAUGHTER

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Our Roar Rangers today are cousins.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19THEY ROAR

0:07:19 > 0:07:23I really want to be a Roar Ranger because I absolutely love animals.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26We're giving the girls just two clues

0:07:26 > 0:07:28to help them guess today's animal.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Clue number one, a pot of artificial nectar.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Clue number two, a sponge.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Smell that!

0:07:41 > 0:07:43Eugh! It smells of sick!

0:07:45 > 0:07:49Nectar comes from flowers and a lot of creatures love to eat the stuff.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54I think it's for birds. Baby birds.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Hmm, birds?

0:07:56 > 0:08:00- What would you say that is for? - It's some sort of sponge.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03So what are they hoping to get?

0:08:03 > 0:08:06BOTH: Fingers crossed it's birds.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09It's time to find out.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16Today, Lucy and Chloe will be lorikeet keepers.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19BOTH: What? What are lorikeets?

0:08:20 > 0:08:23This is the rainbow lorikeet.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26It's a kind of small parrot that comes from Australia

0:08:26 > 0:08:28and south-east Asia.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33Hi, girls. I'm Michaela. I'm going to be your keeper for the day.

0:08:33 > 0:08:38- Are you ready for some hard work? - Yeah.- Here you go, girls.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Oh, no. More cleaning.

0:08:40 > 0:08:45Oh, yes. And with 19 lorikeets, the aviary is covered in poo.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51There's so much that some of the plants in there are in danger

0:08:51 > 0:08:53of being killed by the stuff.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57And there's one plant that Michaela is particularly worried about.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Now then, we're going to be cleaning this plant.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03If we don't clean the plant, sadly it will die.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07There's an animal called the golden pheasant who hides underneath it.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11And here's the golden pheasant. His name is Nigel.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Golden pheasants come from China.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15And like our British pheasants,

0:09:15 > 0:09:18they can fly but they prefer to stay on the ground.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22So, Nigel needs that plant for protection

0:09:22 > 0:09:25because down here he's right in the firing line.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28RASPBERRIES

0:09:32 > 0:09:35Now it's up to Lucy and Chloe to save the plant.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Hold on to the leaf and wash off all that poo.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43Why is this poo white?

0:09:43 > 0:09:45Within this poo they have their urine as well

0:09:45 > 0:09:48so it's got two things in it rather than one.

0:09:48 > 0:09:52So we're going to clear up their wee as well as their poo?

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Yeah, I'm afraid so.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58Having wee and poo together makes it powerful stuff.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Time to get the gloves on.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03BOTH: We're ready!

0:10:03 > 0:10:06Right, girls. Here's your sponges.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10I'd like to see this plant absolutely spotless by the time you're done.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13It's a tricky job because they've got to clean off the mess

0:10:13 > 0:10:16without damaging the leaves.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18- Lucy, have a look at this leaf. - Eugh!

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Clean again!

0:10:20 > 0:10:22How often do you do this?

0:10:22 > 0:10:25We clean the lorikeets' aviary every morning

0:10:25 > 0:10:28- and we also do it in the evening as well.- Oh.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Yep. They are very, very messy birds.

0:10:31 > 0:10:35This one here, it seems you two are both avoiding that one.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37It's quite hard to get the poo off.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40I hope the golden pheasant's going to appreciate what we're doing.

0:10:40 > 0:10:45Teamwork always helps. They've got Nigel's favourite plant sparkling.

0:10:47 > 0:10:51Do you want to go and meet the golden pheasant that hides under this bush?

0:10:51 > 0:10:53- BOTH:- Yes. - Come on then.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59- He is very pretty, isn't he? - Yes. Gorgeous.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04Of course, the other good thing about Nigel is that,

0:11:04 > 0:11:08being a pheasant, he spends most of his time on the ground

0:11:08 > 0:11:12so when he goes, there's no danger of it landing on anybody.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16But the Roar Rangers are here to work with the lorikeets

0:11:16 > 0:11:20and very soon, that's going to put them in a dangerous position.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22So don't go away.

0:11:28 > 0:11:32Cessna the female marmoset who was rejected by the rest of the group

0:11:32 > 0:11:36is still on her own in a separate enclosure.

0:11:36 > 0:11:41But now, a new male named Carlos has just arrived from another park.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45Keeper Jo is about to introduce them.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48I'm really excited this morning.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51To see them together and their reaction will be fantastic.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58Mixing animals is like setting up a blind date.

0:11:58 > 0:12:04It's tricky because you don't know how they'll react to each other.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09So, this is the big moment. I think she's seen him now.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14So anyway, I am going to slowly take the front off now.

0:12:14 > 0:12:15Just see if he comes out.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19This is the moment to see if they're going to get on.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21Come on, sweetheart.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Come on, darling.

0:12:28 > 0:12:32Cessna has seen Carlos and she looks worried.

0:12:32 > 0:12:36She's very cleverly hiding on a branch, the other side of it.

0:12:36 > 0:12:40I don't think he's really aware that she is there.

0:12:46 > 0:12:52Carlos is trying to take in his new home, but finally, he spots Cessna.

0:12:52 > 0:12:57And it does look suspiciously like love at first sight.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59# I'm crazy for you. #

0:13:03 > 0:13:06They're kind of gazing into each other's eyes, which is really sweet.

0:13:07 > 0:13:11They've had a sniff of each other and are crossing on the branch.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13# I'm crazy for you. #

0:13:13 > 0:13:18The signs are good but this is like their first date.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21They need to spend some more time together.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25This is a good little honeymoon suite, to get used to each other,

0:13:25 > 0:13:28and start the relationship.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30It'll be good.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35But first impressions don't always last.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Will they still be lovey-dovey after a week together?

0:13:38 > 0:13:41We'll find out later on.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49Back in tiger territory,

0:13:49 > 0:13:51we've got everything ready

0:13:51 > 0:13:55to find out how strong the world's biggest cats really are.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57We are still here in the tiger enclosure

0:13:57 > 0:14:00but this time we are safely locked up in the truck

0:14:00 > 0:14:02because we've got a rope outside

0:14:02 > 0:14:06and we're expecting tigers to pull this two and a half tonne truck.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09Come on, Gemma. Is this going to happen?

0:14:09 > 0:14:11I think it will happen.

0:14:11 > 0:14:15She's confident. All right, Bob. Let's let the tigers out.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18Could you let the tigers out, please?

0:14:18 > 0:14:20All right, here we go. Do I need to have my seat belt on?

0:14:31 > 0:14:34So here they come. Gemma, who is this running first?

0:14:34 > 0:14:36Soundari and Turlough.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39Turlough, you can see the size difference.

0:14:39 > 0:14:45Soundari, don't let him push you away. Oh, he's coming close.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47He's coming close. Oh my goodness! Are we safe?

0:14:47 > 0:14:50- I think Soundari's going to try it. - She's got the rope.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53She's got it. Go on, lady! You do it!

0:14:53 > 0:14:55She's going sideways.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57No, no. Go backwards.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00Oh see, he's going for the actual wood.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04Yeah, but he's still keeping it to the side, Bob.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06I think I might have to manoeuvre a little bit

0:15:06 > 0:15:09so that it's straight so that he can give it a tug.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Is this OK? I don't want him to pull his teeth out.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13No, it's fine.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16You see, look at the size of his paws!

0:15:17 > 0:15:19Is this going to be safe, seriously?

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Go, on. There we go. That's it.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25Oh my gosh, we're moving. We're moving! We are moving!

0:15:25 > 0:15:29Oh my goodness! Soundari, you are amazing.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31Bob! Put the handbrake on!

0:15:31 > 0:15:34Oh my goodness, did you see how much we moved?

0:15:34 > 0:15:36That was Shouri.

0:15:36 > 0:15:37That was unbelievable!

0:15:37 > 0:15:42I apologise to everyone at home for squealing slightly.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45Gemma and Bob don't seem phased. I'm so surprised.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47I didn't think they would be able to do it.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49Bob, are you amazed at their strength,

0:15:49 > 0:15:52that they can pull two and a half tonnes?

0:15:52 > 0:15:55Yeah, it is incredible. Here he goes. He is pulling us again.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58We are going again! Oh, no!

0:16:00 > 0:16:04You know, this is just unbelievable.

0:16:04 > 0:16:08But he's not really pulling that hard, is he?

0:16:08 > 0:16:10He's taking us off into the pond, I think.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12Here he goes again.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16Just look at that, look when he's pulling.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19You can see his big paws going backwards.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22Where is all that strength? Is it the teeth?

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Is it just the teeth or is it the legs?

0:16:24 > 0:16:26It's the legs.

0:16:26 > 0:16:31I think it's just all of Turlough. He's just a strong lad.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33But he is not struggling that much, is he?

0:16:33 > 0:16:38No, they're used to it in the wild, so they can jump on its back,

0:16:38 > 0:16:41dig in with their claws and drag it down.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44Then they sort of suffocate with the teeth.

0:16:44 > 0:16:48Turlough has actually snapped the rope, chewed the rope off.

0:16:48 > 0:16:52- So the wood is actually not attached to the rope any more.- Right.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56So as you can see, his claws are digging into the wood

0:16:56 > 0:16:58to keep the wood and he's chewing on the end bit of rope

0:16:58 > 0:17:01that he's snapped off.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04- Is that his claw marks in the log? - Yes, it is. Claw and teeth.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07It's unbelievable. It looks like Turlough has got his prize.

0:17:07 > 0:17:12He's off, so, Bob, let's get out of here! Quick! Go, go, go!

0:17:12 > 0:17:14I've got to say, I've never been so scared in my life.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17Come on! Turlough can pull it faster than this!

0:17:17 > 0:17:20- LAUGHTER - Put your foot on the gas!

0:17:28 > 0:17:33Lions spend up to 20 hours a day asleep.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35That's because after making a kill,

0:17:35 > 0:17:37they eat so much they can hardly move.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42If you'd just scoffed a zebra, you would have to lie down, too.

0:17:42 > 0:17:48Then they'll spend a couple of days doing nothing but snoozing.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50I wish I was a lion.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02Earlier in the series, we followed the story of Rene,

0:18:02 > 0:18:05the baby sea lion that was born down at Half Mile Lake.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08For a while, it was touch and go if she would survive

0:18:08 > 0:18:12as there were complications with her birth.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15Head keeper, Mark, had to step in to cut the umbilical cord

0:18:15 > 0:18:18between Mum and baby himself.

0:18:20 > 0:18:24Soon, they were both doing well and by the time she was three weeks old,

0:18:24 > 0:18:28little Rene was swimming and having a great time.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30Now she's over two months old

0:18:30 > 0:18:32and Johny's gone down to pay her a visit.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35I've popped down to the lake to meet up with head keeper

0:18:35 > 0:18:38Mark for a bit of a catch up with one of the park's new arrivals.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40It's baby Rene, and she's just over there.

0:18:40 > 0:18:44We are in a part of the park we don't come to that often.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46It's behind the scenes, here.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49She's got her own log. Is this her favourite space?

0:18:49 > 0:18:51It's a favourite space for all baby sea lions.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53They all like this log.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55It used to be a lot longer

0:18:55 > 0:18:58and they used to jump off the end like a diving board.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00It slowly rotted down over the years.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02This is where they practise their dives, is it?

0:19:02 > 0:19:04It seems to be.

0:19:04 > 0:19:08Where are the other sea lions and how's she getting on with the group?

0:19:08 > 0:19:10We have quite a few sea lions haven't we?

0:19:10 > 0:19:13We have got eight, actually. Eight others out there.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17They are wherever they want to be, all around this lake.

0:19:17 > 0:19:21Young babies like this, from about a month, are really independent.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24They go off and do their own thing.

0:19:24 > 0:19:28Mum will call them back when she gets worried, but on the whole,

0:19:28 > 0:19:30good mums like Jo-Jo leave them for most of the day

0:19:30 > 0:19:33and come back when the baby will suckle on Mum.

0:19:33 > 0:19:37So she's not catching her own fish or anything yet?

0:19:37 > 0:19:39No. She won't catch a fish yet.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42She will find them now she's out and about, looking around.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44She will bump into them.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47They are good games to chase but she won't eat them yet.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Normally from about six months, they start eating.

0:19:50 > 0:19:54What's the next stage for Rene? What are we looking for her to do next?

0:19:54 > 0:19:56What's the next in the growth cycle?

0:19:56 > 0:19:58The growth cycle now is just to get fatter.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00They tend to have three growing spurts

0:20:00 > 0:20:02where they just get fatter and fatter

0:20:02 > 0:20:04and then they stretch a bit and go thin.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Then they get fatter again.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09They do that three times and then they're adult.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11She looks really chilled out there

0:20:11 > 0:20:14and she looks like she's not even scared of the camera or anything.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16It's really lovely to see Rene.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26OK, all you gamers. Here's what you've been waiting for -

0:20:26 > 0:20:34sand7 is today's cheat code for the Roar game on the CBBC website.

0:20:34 > 0:20:39Don't forget to check up on your animals every day and happy gaming.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53Our Roar Rangers have done some great work

0:20:53 > 0:20:55to save Nigel's favourite plant

0:20:55 > 0:20:58from the poo that falls from the lorikeets.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01RASPBERRIES

0:21:05 > 0:21:08Now they're going to get to feed the birds by hand.

0:21:08 > 0:21:13They've got little pots of their favourite food, artificial nectar.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16What I need you to do is hold the pots up quite high

0:21:16 > 0:21:19- and see if they come down and land on you.- What about that one?

0:21:19 > 0:21:22The lorikeets love the nectar.

0:21:22 > 0:21:27Any second they will be all over Lucy and Chloe.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29Any second now.

0:21:29 > 0:21:33- Come on, birdies. - They're not coming down.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37The birds are refusing to eat.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39They're looking, but they're not coming down for it.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41They're just lazy.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44That's strange because the lorikeets will normally

0:21:44 > 0:21:47land on anyone who has got food.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51But now something else has landed on Lucy.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53One has pooed on my shoulder.

0:21:59 > 0:22:04Some people say that being hit by bird poo will bring you good luck.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Hm, maybe it works...

0:22:09 > 0:22:13..cos the lorikeets are finally getting close enough

0:22:13 > 0:22:15to try the Roar Rangers' nectar.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17He doesn't really want to come down for it.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20He's just bending down from there.

0:22:22 > 0:22:23RASPBERRY

0:22:25 > 0:22:28But now the birds seem to have gotten used to the Roar Rangers

0:22:28 > 0:22:31and they're being a little more friendly.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33The tongue looks a bit grey and the beak's red.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38You can see their giant tongue.

0:22:38 > 0:22:42The tongue of the rainbow lorikeet is covered in tiny hairs

0:22:42 > 0:22:44to help them lap up nectar.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46SLURPING

0:22:48 > 0:22:51This is fun cos you can feel their beaks on the bottom.

0:22:54 > 0:22:58Those special tongues work fast and all the nectar is soon gone.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Oh!

0:23:03 > 0:23:06So how does Michaela reckon our Roar Rangers have done?

0:23:06 > 0:23:09I'm very proud of how the Roar Rangers did. They were fantastic.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12Scrubbing those leaves - I've never seen them so spotless.

0:23:12 > 0:23:16It was quite horrible having to clear their wee as well as their poo

0:23:16 > 0:23:18but it came off quite easily when you got scrubbing.

0:23:18 > 0:23:22I was very pleased with how patient the girls were today.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26Being an animal keeper, you always have to be patient.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29It was really nice to be inside the enclosure and get close to them.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32BOTH: We love lorikeets!

0:23:39 > 0:23:43Cessna the marmoset was rejected by her family group.

0:23:43 > 0:23:47She was all alone and then Carlos came into her life.

0:23:47 > 0:23:51When they met, it looked like love at first sight.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56Would their romance stand the test of time?

0:23:56 > 0:23:59It's now been one week since they first met

0:23:59 > 0:24:01and it's looking good.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04# You've got me flying with your love

0:24:04 > 0:24:07# Shining with your love

0:24:07 > 0:24:09# Riding with your love

0:24:09 > 0:24:13# I feel like I'm on top of the world with your love. #

0:24:13 > 0:24:16Carlos and Cessna are the love story of the year.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22Straight away, really, they got on like a house on fire.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25Whenever you go in there, they're sat very closely together.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28You can tell that there's, you know, chemistry.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31# I feel like I'm on top of the world with your love. #

0:24:32 > 0:24:35Who knows, after the honeymoon period,

0:24:35 > 0:24:39maybe they'll start producing a family, which would be really good.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42# I feel like I'm on top of the world with your love. #

0:24:55 > 0:24:57Earlier in the series we followed the story

0:24:57 > 0:24:58of Joseph the baby wallaby,

0:24:58 > 0:25:02who was found all alone in Wallaby Wood.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05He'd been abandoned by his mum, though no-one knows why.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10The keepers managed to warm him up and get him fed,

0:25:10 > 0:25:13and after that it was up to Polly and Bev

0:25:13 > 0:25:16to share the role of foster mum.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20They had to give him his first hopping lessons

0:25:20 > 0:25:23and to look after him day and night.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27If Joseph was with his mum, he'd have been in her pouch.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30So they took him round in a cosy backpack instead.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34But now he's growing up.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36Before we leave you today, Johny and I have popped up

0:25:36 > 0:25:40to see one of the cutest things in the world, ever.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42Cheryl Cole is here?

0:25:42 > 0:25:45Cheryl? I'm not talking about Cheryl Cole, Johny!

0:25:45 > 0:25:48I'm talking about Joseph the wallaby.

0:25:48 > 0:25:50And of course, there's his mummy!

0:25:50 > 0:25:53- Hello.- Hiya, Bev. How are you doing, Mr?

0:25:53 > 0:25:56- Nice to see you again. - I knew it was him, really.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58How is he getting on? He's grown!

0:25:58 > 0:26:00He has grown loads.

0:26:00 > 0:26:04I think he's tripled in size since we first met him.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07We're used to seeing him in his rucksack.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09It's not on your back,

0:26:09 > 0:26:12- it's not on the floor.- It's not.

0:26:12 > 0:26:13He's getting grown up, to be honest.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16His rucksack is over there, in the Wallaby House.

0:26:16 > 0:26:20We've been giving him access for a couple of weeks now

0:26:20 > 0:26:23in the daytime, so he can hop in and out as much as he likes.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26Last night was the first time we've given him access at night.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28It went extremely well.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30- Hang on, so you weren't with him last night?- No.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32He was in there on his...

0:26:32 > 0:26:34Be honest, did you sleep behind a tree?

0:26:34 > 0:26:37No. We were all a little bit worried about him.

0:26:37 > 0:26:41But ever since we put him in Wallaby Wood, he's done amazingly well.

0:26:41 > 0:26:42He has such confidence in here

0:26:42 > 0:26:45we don't need to worry about him at all.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48It looks like he's wriggling around a bit. Does he want to get down now?

0:26:48 > 0:26:50Yeah. We can put him down on the floor. He's quite independent.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52He likes to have a hop about.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55There you go. Good boy.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58I tell you what, it looks like he has come on leaps and bounds.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00While Joseph hops off into the distance,

0:27:00 > 0:27:02why don't you lot check out what's coming up

0:27:02 > 0:27:04on the next episode of Roar.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09We'll have a special report from Africa,

0:27:09 > 0:27:14when we meet the fastest land animal on earth, the cheetah.

0:27:14 > 0:27:18The hippos are the most dangerous animals in the park.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21Are they any match for Croc Cam?

0:27:22 > 0:27:26And the meerkats might watch out for each other,

0:27:26 > 0:27:29but can they help the keeper when we put her on the spot?
