0:00:02 > 0:00:07Coming up today - our Roar Ranger may be a karate expert,
0:00:07 > 0:00:10but will he hold his nerve when he meets the tigers?
0:00:10 > 0:00:15Are you sure we're safe? Cos the tiger looks very, very hungry.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Hello and welcome to Roar. I'm Johny.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47And I'm Rani, and these guys are the park's wonderful millipedes.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48"I'm so cute, I'm so cute."
0:00:48 > 0:00:51I don't know about that but with hem being multi-legged,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54they actually have the biggest enclosure here in the park.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58- Is that true, Johny?- Where else would they store all their shoes?
0:00:58 > 0:01:02While I give him the boot, let's get on with today's show. Really!
0:01:03 > 0:01:07On Roar today, we'll be trying a big experiment.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Camels are losing their winter coats,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14so which animal might like some second-hand fur?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Not the monkeys, surely!
0:01:17 > 0:01:21We've followed them from when they were just born,
0:01:21 > 0:01:23we've watched them grow up
0:01:23 > 0:01:27and now the cubs are out playing with the rest of the pride.
0:01:27 > 0:01:33And there's strange things happening down in the bat cave.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Will the bats go mad for their fruity kebabs?
0:01:43 > 0:01:47But first, to be a Roar Ranger takes courage and bravery.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52So it's just as well that 11-year-old Tai
0:01:52 > 0:01:54is a karate expert.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56I am ready.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Come on, Tai, it's time to get changed.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03That's better.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09So what animals are you hoping to see today?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Above all, I'd like to see the big cats
0:02:13 > 0:02:16because they're full of energy like me.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Big cats? Let's see, shall we?
0:02:18 > 0:02:23We're giving Tai two clues to guess today's animal.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Clue number one - a tie.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Clue number two - an enormous football.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Looks like a football.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Doesn't bounce like a football.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Hmm, claw marks. Could they be beak marks?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- And what about clue number two?- Hmm.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54Tie, tie... tiger! Please be a tiger!
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Let's see if he's right.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Yes!
0:02:59 > 0:03:03HE WHOOPS
0:03:03 > 0:03:08- He is. I think he's happy.- Yeah!
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Tai is going to be working with his favourite animal - the Amur tiger.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19The largest of all the big cats was once found right across Asia
0:03:19 > 0:03:21But after years of hunting,
0:03:21 > 0:03:26the Amur is found only in a small part of far-eastern Russia.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Tai's first job today is to meet keeper Bob Trollope.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Hi, I'm Tai.- Hi, I'm Bob, deputy head of the section of the big cats.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39I need your hand
0:03:39 > 0:03:43to set up some enrichment that we're going to be doing.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Cats, even tigers, are very curious,
0:03:45 > 0:03:47so the keepers are always dreaming up ways
0:03:47 > 0:03:49to keep them interested and challenged.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51GROWLS
0:03:53 > 0:03:54I reckon you ought to put these on.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Today, Bob and Tai are going to be preparing
0:03:57 > 0:04:02some of the tigers' favourite treats. On the menu today -
0:04:02 > 0:04:05small pieces of chopped meat...
0:04:07 > 0:04:10..an enormous plastic football
0:04:10 > 0:04:14and a bagful of stinky rhino poo.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18If you can smear some meat all over that ball there.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24Wow! Smear it all over there, get it nice and gooey.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- It's got blood on it. - That's good.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- That looks suitably grimy, doesn't it? What do you think?- Yeah.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Next on the job list is that big bag of rhino poo.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39Nice.
0:04:39 > 0:04:45- Open it up. Tip it out on that block.- Disgusting.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Stick it straight in here. Both hands.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Don't want to see one bit on that board.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Having filled it full of poo,
0:04:53 > 0:04:58Bob needs Tai to make sure that all the juicy smell covers the bag.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03I don't like rhinos that much any more.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06That's not really fair on the rhinos, is it?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Look at all that juice coming out, that's good.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13The treats are ready, the van loaded -
0:05:13 > 0:05:15all we need now are some tigers.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18There's one!
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Join us later in the show to see what happens
0:05:21 > 0:05:27when Tai comes face to face with four hungry tigers.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29THEY CHEER
0:05:32 > 0:05:35African elephants have enormous ears
0:05:35 > 0:05:38which are really useful to help keep them cool.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41The ears are thin and full of blood vessels,
0:05:41 > 0:05:46so by flapping them around, they can cool their blood down and chill.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50ALL: Now you know!
0:05:57 > 0:05:59'Now, throughout this series of Roar,
0:05:59 > 0:06:03'we've been following the story of the four gorgeous lion cubs.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06'We first saw them when they were just a few days old
0:06:06 > 0:06:09'and we've been filming them ever since.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12'I've already been up to feed the little ones...'
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Oh, yes, I just love this job!
0:06:14 > 0:06:18'..and today I'm back to help again.'
0:06:18 > 0:06:23Gemma, what are we doing today with Yendi and the four amazing cubs
0:06:23 > 0:06:24that I just love?
0:06:24 > 0:06:28We're going to let them out into the compound with the rest of the pride,
0:06:28 > 0:06:29- with their daddy.- Oh, right.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33So, every morning do they get out and have a run-around? What happens?
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Yeah. We let them out
0:06:34 > 0:06:37into the compound first, so they have a run-around.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- Then we put them into the bigger enclosure.- Now, Gemma,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41we've got Mum here, Yendi,
0:06:41 > 0:06:44but you're going to have to remind me of the cubs' names.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- We have Klaus, the only boy in the group.- Right.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49And then we got Eva, Tana and Kiana.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52I love just looking at them sitting there next to Mum.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Tell us how we're going to do this, cos I'm getting to help.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59What we do is we open the small slider.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- So, if you want to pull that metal slider out.- Oh, it's quite tough.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05It's quite tough. There we go.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- Come on out. - Does Mum always lead the way?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Yes, mostly, yes. So they know where to go.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13They'll mostly follow her where she tells them to.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Let's have a look at them coming down here.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Look at that! It's such a great sight to see!
0:07:18 > 0:07:20And then we'll open this big slider
0:07:20 > 0:07:23so they can actually go into the compound.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25When you see them next to Mum like that, they look little.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Even though you think they're...
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Oh, listen to their little... "Meow, meow."
0:07:29 > 0:07:32So, if you want to pull this. It's quite stiff,
0:07:32 > 0:07:33so you have to really yank it.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36There is Mum, there's Bro. All the cubs through?
0:07:38 > 0:07:42And then, if we close it quickly, so they don't come back in...
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Oh, gosh, they just look so cute out there!
0:07:45 > 0:07:48I like the way they're padding along and walking.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51But do the little ones annoy the rest of the lionesses
0:07:51 > 0:07:53or do they quite like having them around?
0:07:53 > 0:07:57I think the quite like having them around...to a point.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Once the cubs climb over them, bite their tails
0:08:00 > 0:08:02and sort of try and play with them too much,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04they'll let them know that they've had enough.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Have you found, since you've had the cubs,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08the rest of the pride is more protective?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Yes, they are. A whole pride will look after every cub
0:08:12 > 0:08:15so that if the mum wants to go off and hunt,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17another lion in the pride will look after those cubs
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- while the mum goes off. - Well, that's nice.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23The mum gets a bit of a break then, someone to baby-sit.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26And the cubs are still weaning. Will they do that out here?
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Are they always close to Mum?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- In about eight to ten months, they'll be weaned off.- Right.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32So, in the main enclosure, they will go off and play,
0:08:32 > 0:08:36but when they want some mummy attention, they'll run back to her.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39OK, a question for you, Gemma, though. With cubs,
0:08:39 > 0:08:43little ones tend to be a bit of a handful, can be a little naughty.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Is it hard to get them back in in the evening?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49No, Mum will call them back in and they'll all run after Mum.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51So, it's pretty easy.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Really cute cubs and well behaved. Gemma, I would love to see that.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Maybe one day I can come back and help you get them
0:08:58 > 0:09:03- back in the enclosure? - I'll hold you to that.- Oh, I like it!
0:09:07 > 0:09:10# Ole, ole, ole, ole. #
0:09:10 > 0:09:14All around the park, the animals are enjoying warm weather.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16# Feeling hot, hot, hot!
0:09:18 > 0:09:20# Feeling hot, hot, hot! #
0:09:20 > 0:09:25All of them that is, except for this lot, the Bactrian camels.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33Summer for these camels means something embarrassing.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36A bad-hair day that goes on for weeks.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38As they begin to moult their winter coat,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41they really don't look their best.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43But keeper Ryan Hockley still loves them.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47In their natural habitat of Mongolia, places like that,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50they have to put up with real extremes in temperatures.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54So, in wintertime, the temperature could be going down as low
0:09:54 > 0:09:57as between minus 10 and minus 20,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59so they need a really big, thick, warm coat.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02And then, unfortunately for them, in the summertime,
0:10:02 > 0:10:04the temperature really picks up
0:10:04 > 0:10:07and it can get as high as between 30 and 40 degrees.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09And they have to shed that really thick coat,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12because they would literally just boil under there if they didn't.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16It just leaves them looking very sort of wispy.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21To save the camels from further embarrassment,
0:10:21 > 0:10:26the keepers help remove some of the particularly scruffy bits of fur.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32When you start to see the camel fur on the ground,
0:10:32 > 0:10:35that means it's sort of getting ready to come off.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38So, quite often you can come up to somebody like Justin here
0:10:38 > 0:10:41and just literally rake your fingers down his body.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43And you'll get armfuls off.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46But you'll hit patches like this one here on the back of his head,
0:10:46 > 0:10:48which is just sort of dreadlocked in a little bit,
0:10:48 > 0:10:50so that will take longer to come off.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Eventually, over the course of the summer,
0:10:53 > 0:10:55the whole thing will come off
0:10:55 > 0:10:58and he'll look like an old bald tennis ball.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02It's not a good look for the camels, but they have to put up with it
0:11:02 > 0:11:05until their fresh winter coat starts to grow.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08But nothing goes to waste,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11and Ryan reckons there's another group of animals here
0:11:11 > 0:11:13that will go mad for a fur coat.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18We like to take it to the monkey jungle and we give it to the monkeys.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Hopefully, you'll see in a minute exactly what happens in there.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27I hope today that the monkeys don't let us down.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30This will be a first for us on Roar, so join us later
0:11:30 > 0:11:34to see what the hooligans make of the camels' old coats.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Trust me, you will want to miss this.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Back up at the Big Cats, Roar Ranger Tai and keeper Bob
0:11:50 > 0:11:54are heading deep into the tiger enclosure
0:11:54 > 0:11:57with three of their favourite treats.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- Bob, I'm really excited.- Oh, good.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02The park is full of Amur tigers -
0:12:02 > 0:12:06sisters Soundari, Shouri and Svetli
0:12:06 > 0:12:08and the new male, Turlough.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15Turlough's enormous body weighs nearly 400 kilograms.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18That's around ten times heavier than Tai.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22First one to spot a tiger.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Oh, yeah, there!
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Bob and Tai are parking up next to the tigers' pool
0:12:27 > 0:12:29to give them their treats.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I didn't realise tigers were this big,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36I've never seen one up close before.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42Are you sure we're safe? Because the tiger looks very, very hungry.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43We are very, very safe
0:12:43 > 0:12:46as long as we stay in the vehicle. Don't do anything silly.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48If you pass me that ball,
0:12:48 > 0:12:51we'll check it out and see Soundari wants to play, all right?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Let's see what she does. Go on!
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Visitors should never open their windows in the big cat areas.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Bob has worked with these animals for many years,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07so he knows what is safe and what is not.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10She's going for my football!
0:13:10 > 0:13:13There's one of them playing with the football.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14That's great, isn't it? Look!
0:13:14 > 0:13:19Why we use the football and smear it with all that slimy stuff is...
0:13:19 > 0:13:23because they can't get up, because it's so thick, solid plastic,
0:13:23 > 0:13:27they have to work it, move it around to get the meat out.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Next up, pieces of meat.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40They kind of put their head in a bit
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- and then use their paw to, like, feed it into their mouths.- Yeah.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45And Turlough,
0:13:45 > 0:13:48the big male, he actually sticks his head way under sometimes.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49Yeah, I just saw him.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55And, like most cats, tigers actually like water.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Why do we throw the meat into the water?
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Well, on a hot day like this, it encourages them to go into the water.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Because sometimes they just lay in the shade and cool down that way.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09But this way, they cool down a lot quicker.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15I never thought I'd be able to get so close to the tigers.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17It's so amazing!
0:14:17 > 0:14:21The tigers have loved their first two treats,
0:14:21 > 0:14:25but there's still that gooey bag of rhino poo to try.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30Will they turn their nose up at that? We'll be back later to see.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35What do you call a rabbit with fleas?
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Bugs Bunny.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39BOTH: Baaaa!
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- Why don't elephants go swimming? - Why?
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Because they can keep their trunks up.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Roar!
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Where do werewolves stay when they're on holiday?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54At the Howler-day Inns.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01# Batman!
0:15:03 > 0:15:04# Batman!
0:15:05 > 0:15:08# Batman!
0:15:08 > 0:15:10# Batman! #
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Look at the colours on that, so succulent and ripe.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I'm so ready for this. It's so refreshing.
0:15:16 > 0:15:17Johny! What are you doing?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I was just going to eat some of those lovely fruit, Alexa,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- is that cool? - This is for our Egyptian fruit bats.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24You're going to help me pop them on the kebabs.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27I forgot. I always miss out on the good stuff!
0:15:27 > 0:15:29The bats get all the best stuff! OK, well,
0:15:29 > 0:15:30what have we got here?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32I know we've got some lovely melon that I wanted to eat.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34And what's this?
0:15:34 > 0:15:38- This is a lovely, ripe fig.- Wow, OK.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42And we've also got apricots, dates, avocado, all lovely,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44yummy fruit for our bats.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46That seems a bit extravagant for some bats.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50They're not just any bats, they're lovely bats. We like to spoil them.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53They are fruit bats, so you've got to give them some nice fruit.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55So, what are we going to do with them?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- We're just popping them on the skewers here.- OK.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00So we're making these nice fruity kebabs,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02which I understand they like. They're going to love this.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05But why are we putting it on this strange contraption?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07In fact, what is that?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10This is our simulated tree.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Wow.- Because it's not ideal to take a whole tree in there for the bats.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16We do put flowers and things in there for them.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20But this is lovely, because we've got it on a spinning system, so it moves.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23It's different for them, different things for them to experience.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- It's a moving feeding station. - So where are we going to hang this?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Once we've got the rest of the skewers done,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32we'll pop it inside and, hopefully, they'll all fly around to it.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Join us later on in the show to see what the bats make
0:16:35 > 0:16:38of their fruity climbing frame and their juicy kebabs.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Are you playing the Roar game on the CBBC website?
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Each day we give you a cheat code that unlocks treats,
0:16:50 > 0:16:54new animals or even new enclosures. Today, it's...
0:16:56 > 0:17:01Type that in and see what it gives you. Happy gaming!
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Now, were going back up to monkey jungle
0:17:08 > 0:17:13because keeper Ryan is about to drop off the old camel fur the macaques.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16I'm just going to spread a few bits of this camel fur
0:17:16 > 0:17:18that we've collected around.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Then, hopefully, the monkeys will come over
0:17:21 > 0:17:23and just have a good muck around with it
0:17:23 > 0:17:25and make monkeys out of themselves.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30These guys are really inquisitive and playful.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34So, it doesn't take long before the first one comes over to investigate.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50It's like a box of dressing-up clothes has arrived.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Anyone for a wig?
0:17:56 > 0:17:57How about a cloak?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Beard, anyone?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11You can safely say that the monkeys definitely enjoy
0:18:11 > 0:18:13playing around with the camel fur.
0:18:13 > 0:18:1690% of it is just that.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19It's the whole pulling it apart, putting it on their head,
0:18:19 > 0:18:20wrapping around themselves,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23completely blinding themselves with it and running off
0:18:23 > 0:18:25and bumping into somebody else.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27There's a lot of silliness that goes on.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39It's not all monkeying around, there's another reason
0:18:39 > 0:18:41why they love the camel fur.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43You can see a lot of the females, in particular,
0:18:43 > 0:18:45seem to pick through it and groom it
0:18:45 > 0:18:47as if they were grooming another monkey.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50There will be bugs and ticks and things like that in the fur,
0:18:50 > 0:18:55so it's also a jackpot in a food sense.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59The monkeys have stolen the show with their camel fur fashion antics
0:18:59 > 0:19:00but, for the keepers,
0:19:00 > 0:19:03there's going to be a big clean-up operation to do later.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07That's what we have to do at the end of the day anyway with them.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10We're always tidying up at the end of the day.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13If it isn't camel fur then it's wing mirrors, number plates,
0:19:13 > 0:19:14aerials, rubber strips.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16It'll be a nice change to pick something up
0:19:16 > 0:19:18that doesn't belong to a car.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24But for now, it's just all about looking daft.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28And let's face it, that's what this lot do best.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Earlier on in the show,
0:19:39 > 0:19:45myself and Alexa put some lovely fruit kebabs on this fruity frame.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Now we've got some very hungry,
0:19:46 > 0:19:49interested customers. They're all hanging about, aren't they?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- Definitely. - Where we going to hang it?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Just right above our heads, on the cargo net here.- Excellent.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Look at this.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Now, aren't bats usually quite timid animals?
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Isn't this quite amazing that they're coming so close?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Our guys are really used to public walking through here all the day.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08So it's really nice for them to have humans near them,
0:20:08 > 0:20:09so they can interact with us.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12It's all part of the enrichment that we can give them
0:20:12 > 0:20:14and then the enrichment that they give us,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17just by walking through. So you can see them lovely and close.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19It's so nice to see them close. You know what?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Bats, you think of them as being a bit scary,
0:20:21 > 0:20:24but they're actually really cute, aren't they?
0:20:24 > 0:20:25Look at those big eyes.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27I think so. I'm biased, because I love them to pieces.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30They're coming over. Why have they come over?
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Is it the smell? The sight?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34How do they know that this fruit's here and that it's for them?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Definitely. It's a bit of both, a bit of everything.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40They have fab eyesight. You can see, they've got lovely, big eyes
0:20:40 > 0:20:42for letting all the light in. They can see us,
0:20:42 > 0:20:44they can see the colours in the fruit.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47It's also the smells. They've very lovely, big noses.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50They're getting all the smell in there as well.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Do they ever fight over the food?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54A little bit. It's an all-male group that we keep,
0:20:54 > 0:20:56so there's no girlfriends to fight over.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57So it is food they fight over.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00There's always plenty to go round but it's safety in numbers,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03so they'll quite often all group on one bit,
0:21:03 > 0:21:05finish that and then group onto another bit
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- and squabble at the same time. - Earlier,
0:21:07 > 0:21:10I thought, "I wonder if they'll be able to climb this tree,"
0:21:10 > 0:21:11but if we look closely...
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- Are they the thumbs you were talking about?- That's right.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16They've got a thumb in their forefingers.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20The thumbs are very dexterous. They have a little nail on the end.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21They'll use those to grip into things
0:21:21 > 0:21:24and also help rip open the fleshy fruit.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26And, essentially, I remember from last year,
0:21:26 > 0:21:29their wings are really large hands.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31These fleshy bits are really big so that they can fly.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Yeah, pretty much. If we were to be able to fly like them,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36not only we have to be at the gym a lot
0:21:36 > 0:21:38to build up our chest muscles,
0:21:38 > 0:21:40but our fingers would have to be seven foot long
0:21:40 > 0:21:42to be able to support our own body weight.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Wow, that's incredible!
0:21:44 > 0:21:47'Seven foot! That's over two metres long.'
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Just one more thing, Alexa, I've just seen...
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- Look at his little ears moving here. You see the little ears?- Yeah.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Have they got a good sense of hearing, bats?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Their hearing is absolutely incredible, it's top-notch.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Because they're sending out echoes,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03echolocation to find their way around,
0:22:03 > 0:22:05if he sends out a little echo, he can then hear it back.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07We can just about hear it as they're flying.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09It's a little ticking sound.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12If you ever see bats in your garden, you'd be very lucky to hear it.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Because they're chasing insects,
0:22:14 > 0:22:17their echolocation is almost ultrasonic, really high-pitched,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- so the bugs can't hear it. - You know what, Alexa?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22They are incredible animals and think they deserve
0:22:22 > 0:22:25their fruity treats, but they're making it look tasty.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Have you got any left over for me?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- I'm hungry.- I'm sure we can find something, Johny.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39In tiger territory,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42our brave Roar Ranger Tai has been helping keeper Bob
0:22:42 > 0:22:44give the tigers some treats today.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49So far, they've loved the football and gone dunking for meat chunks.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53All that's left now is a smelly bag of rhino poo.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55You know they like the ball...
0:22:55 > 0:22:57- Yeah.- ..and you know they like the meat.- Yeah.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- So we'll see what they're like with the poo.- Yeah.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08Big male Turlough is straight over to inspect the bag.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- He ran off with it.- Where's he going with that bag of poo?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Bob moves the truck to get a better view.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I can't believe he put the poo in his mouth.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Turlough has taken the bag of rhino poo
0:23:30 > 0:23:32and is keeping it from the girls.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Listen to that growling.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- GROWLS - Bob, why do we use rhino poo?
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Because it's nice and smelly and they love smelly things.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46In the wild, tigers would naturally come across new smells
0:23:46 > 0:23:47every single day.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Using the strong smell of rhino poo
0:23:49 > 0:23:52helps to recreate this in their enclosure.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56That's all for the enrichment. What do you reckon they liked the best?
0:23:56 > 0:24:01I think, altogether, all of them liked the meat best.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Turlough, individually, I think he liked the bag of poo.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05Yeah, I reckon you're right.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08With Turlough left to enjoy his favourite treat,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11it's time for Bob and Tai to leave the enclosure
0:24:11 > 0:24:13and reflect on the day's work.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16I think he did exceptionally well with the rhino poo and the bag.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18That's a smelly old job.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20When that tiger came up to the window,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23it was like it was going to climb in. I wasn't scared,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25but I was a bit scared.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28I think he would make a very good keeper. He doesn't mind
0:24:28 > 0:24:30getting his hands dirty, that's a good sign.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35If I were a tiger keeper and I had to chop up a meat every day
0:24:35 > 0:24:38and do the poo every day, I'd probably get used to it.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Now, we are nearly at the end of today's show,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57but because these pygmy goats are so cool,
0:24:57 > 0:25:00we thought we'd fit in a little "bleat" more.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- Rani, that was an un-bleat-ably bad joke.- Ha-ha!
0:25:03 > 0:25:08Beth, save us from ourselves. What have we got planned?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Really, just feeding the goats a bit of browse,
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- if that's all right, Johny?- Right. Now, before we go any further,
0:25:13 > 0:25:16I know you're having some issues with at least one
0:25:16 > 0:25:17of the goats in there.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Yes. We've got a very naughty goat. She's called Bubble.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27And she does have issues with people and sometimes likes to head-butt
0:25:27 > 0:25:29- a few ankles.- Right.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31So it's not necessarily safe for everybody to come in,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34because she gets a bit wound up.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38So who is it safe for to go into the enclosure?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- Shall we say Johny today?- I think that's a very good idea, Beth.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42Shall we say Johny?
0:25:42 > 0:25:45I'm up for this, because I worked with Bubble before.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48She attacked the sound man, she attacked the cameraman,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50she attacked our director.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51But she was all right with me.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- So I think I'll be all right. - What should he take in?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56We need all of that browse.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Can you lift that? Which one is Bubble?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00She's the little, small, ginger...
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- The small one?!- Just down here.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05But, I think, to be honest, with browse and everything,
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- she's going to be distracted. - Beth, you should leave Johny to it.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- How many goats have you got in here? - We've got 17.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- They do tend to fight amongst each other, don't they?- They do.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16That's the goating way though. That's how they get along.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19That's why they tend to have horns. It's a goat thing.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21- They've got to head-butt. - You all right, Johny?
0:26:21 > 0:26:26- Yeah, but who's the boss in here? - I would say Lily. This lovely one.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28I'm on Lily's side, to protect me from Bubble.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- I'm onto my last piece, guys, have I done all right?- Perfect.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- Can I come out?- I don't know.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- I thought we were going to make him stroke Bubble.- Eh...- I'm joking!
0:26:36 > 0:26:40- I'm joking, Johny, come out.- Listen, you're joking, but she's right here.
0:26:40 > 0:26:46I see no problems. I tell you, me and Bubble, we're like that.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- You all right?- Yeah.- Did you check that deodorant's still working?
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Tell you what, Beth, you have any more problems with Bubble,
0:26:53 > 0:26:54- you're calling me.- I will.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56I think we've got a good relationship.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58I'm sorry to butt in this conversation,
0:26:58 > 0:26:59but it's time for us to leave you.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Check out what's coming up on the next episode of Roar.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Next time, something spooks the pride of lions.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10There's an intruder in their territory.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Will it escape
0:27:12 > 0:27:15or will it be cat food?
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Is that a monkey or a moustache?
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Caesar and Tiberius, the Emperor tamarins, are coming to the park.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24But will they pass their food exams?
0:27:24 > 0:27:25And all aboard!
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Me and the gang are sailing on the country's most dangerously lake
0:27:28 > 0:27:33to quiz a keeper about hippos, sea lions and gorillas.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37That's all next time on Roar. Don't miss it!
