0:00:01 > 0:00:06Today on Roar - the lion is one of nature's deadliest killers,
0:00:06 > 0:00:09they run like lightning, their teeth are like knives,
0:00:09 > 0:00:14but they play like pussy cats. So what will they make
0:00:14 > 0:00:17of our two big red balls?
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Hello, I'm Johny.- And I'm Rani, and welcome to the last episode
0:00:47 > 0:00:49in the current series of Roar.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51What do you mean last episode? Nobody told me.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54No more rubbing the rhinos, no more patting the pygmy goats
0:00:54 > 0:00:59- or feeding the ferrets? - Not for this year, Johny.- WHY?!
0:00:59 > 0:01:04WHY?! WHERE WILL I GO?! WHAT WILL I DO?!
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Erm, we've still got today's show to get on with.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Oh, yeah. Sorry about that.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Coming up today - the cheetah is the fastest land animal on earth,
0:01:17 > 0:01:21but are they quick off the mark at feeding time?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Your dinner's behind you. Behind you!
0:01:24 > 0:01:29They say owls are wise, but how about their keepers?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31We need answers about Africa's biggest owl.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37And the competition is fierce to find our new champion.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Who will be crowned the parks' laziest animal?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43You can see they're all working flat out to win it.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Lions are just big pussy cats. They love to play with toys.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Earlier in the series when we gave them a new rope,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04they played like pet cats with a ball of wool.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08The only difference is that toys for the lions
0:02:08 > 0:02:11need to be a lot bigger and much, much stronger
0:02:11 > 0:02:13as we discovered before.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Last series, we created a super scratch post that the lions loved,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- until they broke it.- That's right,
0:02:22 > 0:02:25but we're a determined lot here on Roar and this year,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27we're going heavy duty with chains
0:02:27 > 0:02:31and Adie is going to tell us what all this lot is about.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- Hi, Adie.- Hello! We've gone for a simple design this time,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38simple and strong, so it should be indestructible.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40What's the big idea then, Adie?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43We're going to attach floats to the end of these chains.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47One side is low, so the cubbies can reach and have a play and,
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- hopefully, jump over them.- But we've also got super strong Niblo.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- Yes.- How is this going to fair with him?
0:02:54 > 0:03:00Well, it's super cool Niblo, so I think first...
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I've been trying to keep an eye on him, see what's happening.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07The girls are pacing about, keeping an eye, though I can't see Niblo.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- Head down probably. - Getting his energy up.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Yeah. I mean, he may follow these girls out,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- he may not even come out the paddock. - As they are pacing,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- should we get these balls on? - I think we're ready now.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24- Talk us through. What do we need to do?- Need to undo the clamps.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26That's it. Remove the clamp. Thread them through.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- That's it.- It's actually quite weighty this.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Adie, we've got one that's a bit lower. Is that for the lion cubs?
0:03:33 > 0:03:37It's for the cubbies. It's low enough so, hopefully, they'll be
0:03:37 > 0:03:39jumping over it and trying to join in the fun.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44You say they're going to have fun with it, but what can they do?
0:03:44 > 0:03:49I think they will try to pull it. The big girls will get hold of this.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- I think it's going to need two of us. - OK.- Let's pull.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54There we go. That's it.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57So the lions are going to good play with that,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00the cubbies are going to imitate and have a play with that one.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Nothing's going to happen to them. They'll be nice and safe.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07It sounds like we've totally thought about the lions and the cubs
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- being safe, but what about us? How will we keep safe?- Exactly.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15I think we should get out of here and why don't you join us later
0:04:15 > 0:04:18to see what happens when the lions attack.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Last year, we gave deputy head warden Ian Turner
0:04:28 > 0:04:32a speed gun and challenged him to find the fastest animal in the park.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34That was a good run. He did a good run.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37The winner turned out to be the sea lions
0:04:37 > 0:04:41who were clocked doing 27 miles per hour.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43But this year, we've got a new challenge for Ian.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I've heard a rumour that you're after the laziest animal in the park.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Yes, of all the animals in the place,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55who is the laziest?
0:04:56 > 0:05:00It's going to be a tricky one to judge. Ian will have to decide
0:05:00 > 0:05:04between creatures of all shapes and sizes
0:05:04 > 0:05:06and the competition is fierce.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09There are animals here who could snooze for Britain.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14MUSIC: "The Lazy Song" by Bruno Mars
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Of course, snoozing a lot isn't always the same as being lazy.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Yeah, it's a difficult question - what is lazy?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Different people have different ideas about what laziness is.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48And with some of the animals, you can never be sure
0:05:48 > 0:05:50if they're only pretending to be lazy.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54You get that with lions, for instance, as keeper Stu knows.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59They make look like they're oblivious, but when they're asleep,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02it'd only take the slightest thing and they'd be up
0:06:02 > 0:06:03and they'd be off like a shot.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07So for everyone's safety, the lions have been disqualified
0:06:07 > 0:06:11but now we're ready to run through the nominations for the prestigious
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Laziest Animal Award.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18First up is a cane toad named Michael.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21He's been nominated by keeper Sarah.
0:06:21 > 0:06:27He doesn't really do a lot. He's definitely a couch potato, I think.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30He'll either be in his bath for a few hours and he might sit on his log
0:06:30 > 0:06:33and then back to his bath. He doesn't really do a lot at all.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Because Michael's so laidback, when it comes to cleaning him out,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40or feeding him, he's quite easy really.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44He sometimes jumps a bit if you're moving things around in there
0:06:44 > 0:06:48but generally he'll just sit and watch you.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49I think Michael's very lazy
0:06:49 > 0:06:54and I think he's up there with a lot of the laziest animals in the park.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59But Sarah has another nomination - the iguanas. All of them.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03We've got four iguanas - one boy and three girls.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07They're all quite elderly iguanas now, they've been here a few years.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12Iguanas are definitely like beach bums. They don't do a lot at all.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16I'd say the iguanas are probably the laziest animals
0:07:16 > 0:07:17we have in this section.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22Our next contender is Rex, the African spurred tortoise.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25He's been nominated by keeper Bev.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28If there's a competition going on laziest animal,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I'd like to put Rex up there. People do think tortoises
0:07:31 > 0:07:34are slow and quite lazy anyway, but they're not. Just watch Michelle.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38As soon as she's out in the sunshine, she gets all warmed up
0:07:38 > 0:07:40that's it, she's very active, moves around quite fast.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45Tortoises shouldn't really be that lazy. It is all about him.
0:07:45 > 0:07:51You know, he should be better than that but, no, he is incredibly lazy.
0:07:51 > 0:07:57And the final nomination goes to Caroline, the dromedary camel.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00I've had people pull over and go, "Is your camel all right?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03"It looks like it might be dead," and we're like, "No.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05"She's fine. She's just very sleepy."
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Caroline has her favourite spots - shelter, any of the sandpits,
0:08:09 > 0:08:11down by the mound or up by the water hole.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Yeah, she generally will stay in one place
0:08:14 > 0:08:16and stay there for most of the day.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20In the shelter, she'll sometimes sleep in the middle,
0:08:20 > 0:08:24and you've got the other animals lined up really far away from her,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26and she's just taking up most of bed.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29She's stays in there most of the day, hogging the best bit.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31So she does lazy very, very well,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34and generally does very little.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38So, we have our four nominations,
0:08:38 > 0:08:41but who's going to be crowned as the park's laziest animal?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Stay tuned to find out.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48ALL: Did you know?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Parrots, rabbits and bongos
0:08:52 > 0:08:55can all see behind them without turning round.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00That's the advantage of having your eyes on the side of your head.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03So, if your teacher was a bongo,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06you'd never get away with anything!
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Earlier on in the show, you saw us with big cat keeper Adie,
0:09:23 > 0:09:27putting finishing touches to the lions' new toy - chain ball!
0:09:27 > 0:09:30We've fixed it to the scratch post, over there,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32and now it's time to release the pride.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Adie, who do you think is going to come over first?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- I think Sweet Pea will be the first one over.- OK.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Let's find out if Adie's predictions are correct.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Look at that - they're striding straight over. Who's come out first?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Let's get a good look to make sure.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- She's quite light in the face. - She's a big girl. That is Sweet Pea.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- Look at the face!- Yes! Yes. That is Sweet Pea.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56It's weird, isn't it?
0:09:56 > 0:10:00To us, it's red balls on a chain, and they're like, "I want it!"
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- Straight over.- Straight over. You were right.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09- Oh, wow. I believe that's Malaika. - Properly gripped over!
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Now, the little cub who's here, coming over slowly...
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Lindy's just keeping watch.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21She's just keeping a watch there, making sure everything around is OK.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26Are you saying she wants to make sure the toy's safe for the cubs?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- RANI SHRIEKS - Look at that! Look at the teeth!
0:10:29 > 0:10:32I can't believe the way she's opened her jaw so wide. Look at that!
0:10:32 > 0:10:34That is incredible.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Adie, you know, it's amazing that just one of these lionesses
0:10:37 > 0:10:41can pull that chain, and it took two of us, and it was pretty tough.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Just how much can a lioness pull? - Over about 100 metres,
0:10:44 > 0:10:49they can pull a carcass weighing 450kg with no problem at all.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- Wow.- So very powerful.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Incredibly strong. That's what's incredible.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Usually you associate lions with being killers and predators,
0:10:58 > 0:11:00but they have a playful side as well, and loving.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03It's interesting seeing the other lionesses,
0:11:03 > 0:11:04who aren't the mother of the cubs,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07really playing gently and nicely with the cubs.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Yes. They all interact very well with the cubs.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15They are very good, and it is excellent to watch them.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25You usually get Mildred having a play and Malaika will come over
0:11:25 > 0:11:28and tell Mildred off. "That's a bit rough!"
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Then Malaika will go off and play with them and she's just as rough.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33THEY ALL LAUGH
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Look at that play - a kiss and a cuddle.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41Aw, they just look so lovely. Look at that.
0:11:41 > 0:11:47- Who is this that's playing with the chain now?- That's Jazzira.- OK.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04It's funny. We've seen the cubs watch the older lionesses play.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Are they taking all this in? "Oh, so that's what you do"?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Yeah, they're learning.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13It's information, information all the time with the young.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15It's got to be more interesting.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I know the scratch post is there for them to climb
0:12:18 > 0:12:21and look after their claws, but this is a bit of fun.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- This is fun. - You know what, Adie?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27It was incredible to see this pride of lions attack the new toy.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30And so far, so good - it's lasted. It's still attached.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33You're good with predictions. You said Sweet Pea would come first.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38You were right. What will go first - the chain or the balls?
0:12:38 > 0:12:43- I think they'll both last.- Ohh! OK, that's it!- Oh, yeah!
0:12:43 > 0:12:48We have created a toy for the lions that will last! Well done, team!
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Well done.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00What do you get if you cross a dog with a phone?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04A golden receiver!
0:13:04 > 0:13:06ALL WHOOP AND SQUAWK
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Why was the knight afraid of the bug?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Because it was a dragonfly.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Whoo-oo!
0:13:18 > 0:13:21What does a mother bison say to her son when he leaves school?
0:13:21 > 0:13:25I don't know. What does a mother bison say to her son?
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Bye, son.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51There's a new kid in town and he's got a whole host of new animals,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54so I've brought in this bunch of intrepid quiz-masters
0:13:54 > 0:13:58to put Jimmy Robinson to the test in Ask The Keeper.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- Jimmy, who have you got there? - This is Cavelli,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03who's a Verreaux's eagle owl.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04PIERCING CRY
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Cavelli - a what owl?
0:14:06 > 0:14:07A Verreaux's eagle owl.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11A Verreaux's eagle owl. We've got loads of questions.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Fantastic. - She's a fantastic-looking thing.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17How can she turn her head round 360 degrees?
0:14:17 > 0:14:21She can't turn her head all the way round - cos it would fall off!
0:14:21 > 0:14:23We have the same amount of vision,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26so you have to look forward, shoulders straight,
0:14:26 > 0:14:28then turn your head, then turn your eyes,
0:14:28 > 0:14:30like that, as far as you can see.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32I can see that sign behind me. OK?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35So we have the same field of vision as an owl,
0:14:35 > 0:14:38but can't go all the way round.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41It's cos her eyes can't move in their sockets, like ours can.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43What's the Latin name for the eagle owl?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46The Latin name for THIS eagle owl? That's a really good question.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48It is Bubo lacteus. OK.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52"Bubo" is the eagle owl family,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55and "lacteus" relates to her pale white eyelids.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59She's also called a milky eagle owl because they're normally white,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02but when she gets excited, they blush and they go pink.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05She's got these beautiful pink flashes on her eyelids.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06She's really cute.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- How old does an eagle owl live to? - OK.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14Cavelli is now four, and she could live till she's 40, maybe even 50.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16The bigger the bird, the longer it lives for.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- Is she fully grown? - Yes, she's fully grown.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24When they hatch, it takes them about 16 weeks and they're fully grown.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27By that time, she's got all of her feathers, she's ready to fly.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30It doesn't take long for them to grow up. 16 weeks.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Jimmy's doing really well. We need to catch him out.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Do you think we can catch him out? - ALL: Yeah!
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Jimmy, it's time for the killer question. In we go. OK.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44What are we going to ask him?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47THEY WHISPER AND GIGGLE
0:15:49 > 0:15:52All right, Jimmy, it's time for us to clip your wings.
0:15:52 > 0:15:58So, the eagle owl. It isn't the largest in the family, is it, Jimmy?
0:15:58 > 0:16:03Can you name the biggest owl in its family?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- And I'm not talking about Mummy and Daddy owl.- OK.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08The biggest owl in the owl family...
0:16:09 > 0:16:12..I think it's a type of fishing owl.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Just a type of fishing owl, Jimmy?
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- Could you give us a little bit more, you expert, you?- I'm trying!
0:16:19 > 0:16:21It's a Pel's fishing owl.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27It's actually the Blakeston fish owl. N-N-Nuhhh!
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Blakiston's fish owl!
0:16:30 > 0:16:36You say Blak-i-ston, I say Blak-e-ston, and you're right! OK.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38You still got the question wrong.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41How big is one of these Blakiston fish owls?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44They are huge, huge owls. She's the biggest owl in Africa,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46so a Blakiston's fish owl would stand about that tall,
0:16:46 > 0:16:49in comparison to Cavelli. It's a huge, huge owl.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54OK. Thumbs up or thumbs down for Jimmy and his birdie knowledge?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57FANFARE AND APPLAUSE
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Ohhh!
0:16:58 > 0:17:04I think...I think he's being harsh. I'm going thumbs up. Well done, you.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06APPLAUSE
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Even though this is the last show in the series,
0:17:18 > 0:17:23you can keep on roaring by playing the Roar game on the CBBC website.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27So, take this down.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32That's today's cheat code to help you make the most of your game.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33See you there!
0:17:46 > 0:17:49One of the biggest stories of the year has been
0:17:49 > 0:17:50the park's sixth new cheetah.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54We first met them in South Africa when we went to follow
0:17:54 > 0:17:58the action as they were prepared for the journey to England.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02There are three males and three females
0:18:02 > 0:18:05and they were all born in captivity as part of a breeding programme
0:18:05 > 0:18:08to help save this threatened species.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13The journey was long, but all six arrived at the park in good shape.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19However, they must now be kept in quarantine for six months,
0:18:19 > 0:18:22just in case they're carrying the disease rabies.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25It's very unlikely, but at the moment,
0:18:25 > 0:18:29they're limited to the cheetah house and a paddock outside.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Everyone who goes in needs to wash their feet in disinfectant
0:18:33 > 0:18:34and wear the green coats.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37The plan is eventually to mix them
0:18:37 > 0:18:39all together to create a new breeding group.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43But so far, the boys and girls have been kept separate.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46If they were all put together straight away,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48they'd probably fight.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52All this makes looking after them here quite complicated,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55so Johny and I have come to give
0:18:55 > 0:18:57big-cat keepers Bob and Brian a hand.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Today, it's the boys' turn to be fed outside.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03So what is the plan and who's going to do what?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05You've got me and Rani at your service.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Johny, if you come with me, we'll put the meat out into the compound.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Rani, if you go with Brian, you can sort the cheetahs out
0:19:12 > 0:19:15to go into the tunnel prior to letting them out.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- Does that mean I have to speak Cheetah?- Yeah.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Good luck, Rani!
0:19:19 > 0:19:21I think I've got the hard job!
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- You're just throwing out bits of meat.- Bye!
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Right then, Brian. I am at your service. What do we need to do?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31We need to get these three cheetahs out of these pens,
0:19:31 > 0:19:33into the open bit out the back there.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- we'll just open this one first, let Max go.- Ah, right, OK.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- We're opening the back door there. - We're opening the back door.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43And is he straight outside now?
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- He's not right into the paddock, but he's into a safe area.- OK.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- And all we need to do is open these two here.- Pull this?- Yeah.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- And he'll just run on through? - Hopefully he will.- Oh, yeah!
0:19:54 > 0:19:57OK, Karl, are you ready for this?
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Sometimes, he's little bit slow to go out.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Well, Brian, I think we've got our work cut out for us
0:20:03 > 0:20:07because Karl is now having a nice lie down.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10So I think you guys, I think you should go and see how Johny's
0:20:10 > 0:20:13getting on with the meat and we'll hopefully get these lot out soon.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Bob, it looks like Rani and Brian have done their job -
0:20:16 > 0:20:19the cheetahs are in the passageway. What are we doing now?
0:20:19 > 0:20:22We'll go through this gate and place the meat out so that the cheetahs
0:20:22 > 0:20:23can see it and eat it.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26We just place it out. I'll put one here.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28OK, where do you want me to put this?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- You put one in the middle and I'll chuck one over there.- OK.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Do we have like a leader here? Someone who'll get the meat first?
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Well, as soon as Rani and Brian open the gate, they'll just run out.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41OK. It looks like they're ready. Don't open the gate yet, guys!
0:20:41 > 0:20:45No, no. It took us some time to get Karl out. He wasn't interested.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- But he's out now, finally. - OK, good job.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51And we're all ready to go and I think they seem quite peckish.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Right, the job's a good'un. Rani, Brian, are you guys ready?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Yeah, we're ready, and these guys are desperate to get out
0:20:58 > 0:20:59so let's do this!
0:20:59 > 0:21:03I want to see them bolt out and get their dinner. Shall I do it? OK!
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Here we go, boys. Dinner time!
0:21:07 > 0:21:13Look at that! Look at that one! Casey or Karl?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Karl, your dinner's behind you. Behind you!
0:21:16 > 0:21:19He's just noticed his food, did you see that? Oh, oh, oh.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- Oh, there you go.- He'll be fine now.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26- Look at that, isn't that a great sight?- It's an amazing sight.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29I mean, would they eat together like this out in the wild?
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- Are they sociable?- Er, a coalition of brothers probably would.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Yeah, they'd kill something and then they'd quickly eat
0:21:36 > 0:21:39as much as they can before they get chased off by lions or hyenas.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41So, what's the plan now? They have their dinner
0:21:41 > 0:21:44and then they run it off? Or do they have a good sleep?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- They'll probably have a kip. - It's a cheetah's life.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50I tell you what, they've given me a few, I fancy a bit of a kip.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- You know what I fancy?- What? - Dinner! Come on, let's go.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Roar!
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Cats can either roar...or purr.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14But they can't do both.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17It's got to do with the shape of the throat.
0:22:17 > 0:22:23So, you can tickle a lion's tummy all you like but it will never purr.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Cheetahs on the other hand, can't roar.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30They make all sorts of other sounds, including a rather nice purr.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34PURRING
0:22:34 > 0:22:39By the way, have you ever noticed that purring is a continuous noise?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42That's because the cat's throat can make a sound
0:22:42 > 0:22:46when they breathe in as well as when they breathe out.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Just like a harmonica.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Now, it's almost time to find out who'll be crowned
0:23:01 > 0:23:04as the laziest animal in the park.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07The judge who must make this difficult decision
0:23:07 > 0:23:12is deputy head warden, Ian Turner. Let's run through the nominations.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Michael the cane toad.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Rex the tortoise.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Caroline the camel.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20And all four of the iguanas.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24It's a tough call, so to help Ian decide, we're going to film
0:23:24 > 0:23:29each one for half an hour non-stop to see how much they move.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Let's start with the iguanas.
0:23:35 > 0:23:41Of course, the iguanas are reptiles so they're cold blooded
0:23:41 > 0:23:44and they do need to bask in the heat.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47People look at iguanas, they say, "Are they real?" They don't move
0:23:47 > 0:23:50and they'll stay in the same position all the time.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52But that's not being lazy,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55that's soaking up the sun as part of what they do.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Next up is Rex the African spurred tortoise.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05At the moment, he's just staying indoors. He does that a lot.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Oh no, he's moved. That's blown it.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13If you come at a time when they're not moving, you think,
0:24:13 > 0:24:17"That's a really boring, lazy animal. It's not doing anything."
0:24:17 > 0:24:20And the next person comes up and the tortoise is running around,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22at quite a rapid speed, as well.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Maybe Michael the cane toad can do better.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32He's good, but is he really putting his heart and soul into it?
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Or does it just come naturally?
0:24:38 > 0:24:39It's what a cane toad is.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43A cane toad is actually not lazy, it's just what cane toads do.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47They don't do anything, they eat, they sit there, and for days
0:24:47 > 0:24:48they won't move a muscle.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52And here's our final nominee. Caroline the camel.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57She's not snoozing, just lounging.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00And she does have that look of a champion couch potato.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07She's an old girl, literally the only time that Caroline will
0:25:07 > 0:25:09move is if there's food around.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14But we need a decision. Ian's got it down to a choice of two.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19We've got the cane toad who doesn't move at all. Very, very little.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23But it's natural. And then we've got Caroline the camel.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Caroline would love to win the laziest animal competition,
0:25:26 > 0:25:27that would make her day.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Maybe if you had a grumpy animal competition,
0:25:29 > 0:25:31she'd be right up there as well.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36And now, let's find out who'll be crowned the park's laziest animal.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40I'm going to go for, definitely,
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Caroline is the laziest animal at Longleat.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:25:48 > 0:25:50We have a winner! And it's a popular choice.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53I think everybody's quite fond of Caroline.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57She's a doddery little old lady who gets her own way every time
0:25:57 > 0:26:00with anyone, from zebra stallions to bull giraffes,
0:26:00 > 0:26:05to ostrich to everything, she's always doing exactly what she wants.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Well, that's it for another series, and what a series it's been!
0:26:26 > 0:26:28I know, it's been fantastic, hasn't it.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32You know, new animals, new sections, new keepers, it's been wicked.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34It has been wicked. And I tell you what,
0:26:34 > 0:26:37it's been great hanging out with mischievous monkeys,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40huge hippos and elderly eles - I'm really going to miss it here.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43You know what, I am too. And I'm going to miss you guys, as well.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46But for the current series of Roar, it's time for us to say...
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- AT THE SAME TIME:- Ta-da.- Bye-bye.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Ahh!
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Ohh! Look at his little face!
0:27:03 > 0:27:05TRUMPETS
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Phwoah!
0:27:20 > 0:27:22He's so fast, look at him!
0:27:26 > 0:27:33Absolutely amazing. I can't describe it. I've always wanted to do this.
