0:00:01 > 0:00:03Today on Roar...

0:00:03 > 0:00:05a baby sea lion is born on the beach,

0:00:05 > 0:00:08but unless it gets help quickly,

0:00:08 > 0:00:12both mother and pup may not survive.

0:00:41 > 0:00:45Hello and welcome to Roar. I'm Johny...

0:00:45 > 0:00:50..and I'm Rani, and welcome to another ferocious episode of Roar.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53Why are we facing this way, Rani, can't we turn round?

0:00:53 > 0:00:56No, no, no, Johny! You never turn your back on a tiger!

0:00:56 > 0:00:59That's their most successful way of attacking their prey.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02I'm just glad there are these big bars between us and them.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04I don't think they like us very much!

0:01:04 > 0:01:06- TIGER ROARS - Aaarrgh!

0:01:06 > 0:01:09I think you're right. Let's get on with the show!

0:01:14 > 0:01:17Coming up today...

0:01:17 > 0:01:21the mischievous monkeys have been causing trouble with visitors' cars,

0:01:21 > 0:01:23so can our Roar rangers tempt them

0:01:23 > 0:01:26onto their new climbing frame instead with fruit?

0:01:26 > 0:01:30He's cute, he's stripy,

0:01:30 > 0:01:32and he's just a few days old.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35I'm off to meet the new baby zebra.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38And the Kunekune pigs may have got big noses,

0:01:38 > 0:01:42but will they be able to smell out our buried mushroom treats?

0:01:47 > 0:01:50But we're starting today down at Half Mile Lake,

0:01:50 > 0:01:53where the park's eight Californian sea lions live.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59The group is headed by big daddy Buster.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06Over the years he's been father to more than 20 sea lion pups,

0:02:06 > 0:02:09including last year's baby, little Riley.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17And this year it looks like he's going to be a dad once again,

0:02:17 > 0:02:22'as female JoJo is looking very pregnant.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25'Mark Tighe is the head keeper here.'

0:02:25 > 0:02:29JoJo's this one here in the middle, and if you look at the size of her,

0:02:29 > 0:02:32in comparison to Nancy, here,

0:02:32 > 0:02:34awfully lot fatter,

0:02:34 > 0:02:39and she's due to give birth, hopefully, in the next week.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Just the one baby, they only have one.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43I've never heard of twins.

0:02:43 > 0:02:48She probably wouldn't able to move if she had two in there!

0:02:48 > 0:02:51SCREECHING BRAKES

0:02:51 > 0:02:5413-year-old JoJo is a very experienced mum.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56She's had five babies before.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02She looks fantastic, you know, she's a model mum.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05She's really good, she's an old hand at it,

0:03:05 > 0:03:06you know, no problem at all.

0:03:06 > 0:03:11And Mark is hoping that JoJo will give birth here, on Sea Lion Beach.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14This is where we want them, this is why we had this built.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17It's easy to wash down, keep clean, somewhere safe for them to go,

0:03:17 > 0:03:20and safe for the pups, because there's a nice,

0:03:20 > 0:03:23gentle slope into the water there.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26It's very rare to see a sea lion having a baby,

0:03:26 > 0:03:29so we've rigged up a secret camera

0:03:29 > 0:03:32to see if we can film it for the first time here.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36But Mark knows not all sea lion births go according to plan,

0:03:36 > 0:03:40so we'll come back later to see how JoJo gets on.

0:03:47 > 0:03:52The California sea lion only has two predators in the wild,

0:03:52 > 0:03:54the killer whale

0:03:54 > 0:03:57and the great white shark.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Luckily, last time we looked,

0:03:59 > 0:04:01there was none of these in Half Mile Lake!

0:04:01 > 0:04:04- ALL:- Now you know!

0:04:08 > 0:04:12If you're a regular Roarer, you may remember last year

0:04:12 > 0:04:14that three baby zebra were born here in the safari park.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18Kichaa, Kimbaya and Kibibi,

0:04:18 > 0:04:21spent the summer racing round the paddock.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28Well, today head keeper Andy, has asked me

0:04:28 > 0:04:31to come up to the East Africa Reserve.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33Andy, I believe you've got good news?

0:04:33 > 0:04:35We've got some really good news!

0:04:35 > 0:04:38After a couple of weeks waiting and worrying,

0:04:38 > 0:04:43Jinga's finally foaled, and we've got a new baby zebra here.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46We can see it! Tiny, tiny little thing!

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Beautiful, isn't it? Absolutely stunning.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51- How old?- It's about four days old.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Walking around absolutely fine!

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Oh, these things get up, go in, really, really fast,

0:04:57 > 0:04:59it's kind of a defence mechanism,

0:04:59 > 0:05:01get up quick and get moving with Mum,

0:05:01 > 0:05:05and then you're not going to get eaten by a lion, basically.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Tell me what Jinga's like as a mum, then.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Jinga is an amazing mum. She's so good,

0:05:10 > 0:05:13she just kind of cracks on with it, does it,

0:05:13 > 0:05:17nobody dares go near the baby. Zebra mums are really protective.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21Very, very rarely do we see a zebra being born.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24They do it at night when it's quiet, you come in the morning,

0:05:24 > 0:05:26there's a baby bouncing around, it's fantastic.

0:05:26 > 0:05:30You can't fret over it or anything, they just get on and do it.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32How can you tell whether baby's healthy?

0:05:32 > 0:05:34Just the fact that it's up and about?

0:05:34 > 0:05:36It's up and about, going to Mum to drink.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40How many times a day is it feeding from Mum?

0:05:40 > 0:05:44Probably every four, five hours. It's quite hard to tell.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Once you've seen them drink, they'll go back and snatch a little bit,

0:05:47 > 0:05:49they'll have a little drink every now and again,

0:05:49 > 0:05:52so, three, four, five hours, it...

0:05:52 > 0:05:54And it's going to be milk for how long?

0:05:54 > 0:05:57- They'll normally wean about six months.- OK.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59Mum kind of gets bored with them,

0:05:59 > 0:06:02and we look at sort of, six, eight months, that we wean them,

0:06:02 > 0:06:04but Mum does it on her own a lot of the time.

0:06:04 > 0:06:08So the message is Mum's healthy, baby's feeding well.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11Male, female? Do we have a name?

0:06:11 > 0:06:13We believe it's a little boy,

0:06:13 > 0:06:17and we don't name anything until it's at least a week old.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19It's bad luck to name them too soon.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Johny'll have some ideas!

0:06:21 > 0:06:24It's L this year, this year is L.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26L. Lionel? Lenny?

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Luka? Linford?

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Keep trying, Rani!

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Leslie?

0:06:33 > 0:06:35'Andy's not giving anything away,

0:06:35 > 0:06:37'but as soon as they've decided on a name,

0:06:37 > 0:06:39'we'll let you know!'

0:06:42 > 0:06:46- What do you call a bear without shoes?- I don't know.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Bear- feet!

0:06:52 > 0:06:56What did the bus driver say to the frog?

0:06:56 > 0:06:57Hop on!

0:06:57 > 0:07:00THEY WHOOP

0:07:00 > 0:07:04Why are chefs cruel to animals?

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Because they batter fish!

0:07:21 > 0:07:24'We're heading back up to the lake now,

0:07:24 > 0:07:27'because there's been a problem on Sea Lion Beach.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30'JoJo has given birth,

0:07:30 > 0:07:33'but things haven't gone well.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35'She had the pup in the back of the cave,

0:07:35 > 0:07:38'which our secret camera couldn't see.

0:07:38 > 0:07:42'Luckily, we had given keeper Mark a Roar camera in case of emergencies,

0:07:42 > 0:07:46'and an emergency,

0:07:46 > 0:07:48'is just what happened!

0:07:48 > 0:07:50'When all animals give birth

0:07:50 > 0:07:54'there's a bit of blood, which is quite normal.

0:07:54 > 0:07:59'But, as he shot the footage, Mark realised there was a problem.'

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Normally, as the pup comes out,

0:08:02 > 0:08:05the mother will chew through the umbilical cord.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09Unfortunately, she didn't do this, and every time the baby moves,

0:08:09 > 0:08:12it pulls on its navel.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16'All mammal babies are attached to mum, by an umbilical cord.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20'It's how they're fed as they grow inside the womb.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22'Since JoJo hadn't cut the cord when the pup was born,

0:08:22 > 0:08:26'it was now a real danger to the pup,

0:08:26 > 0:08:28'and to JoJo.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30'Mark had to act quickly,

0:08:30 > 0:08:34'and this time, our camera caught all the action.'

0:08:34 > 0:08:38So, I had to get a scalpel blade on a long pole,

0:08:38 > 0:08:41risk my legs, and go in there and give it a quick snick

0:08:41 > 0:08:44so the pup could be parted.

0:08:44 > 0:08:49'Going so near to a newborn pup was a dangerous operation,

0:08:49 > 0:08:53'as a mum's instinct is to protect the baby any way she can.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57'And sea lions have very sharp teeth.'

0:08:57 > 0:08:59She was a little bit narked about it.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02Luckily, I've known her since she was a baby, she knows me well,

0:09:02 > 0:09:06so, you know, she knows I'm not going to do anything harmful to her.

0:09:10 > 0:09:14'With two other keepers ready to rush in if JoJo became aggressive,

0:09:14 > 0:09:16'Mark cut the umbilical cord

0:09:16 > 0:09:19'and helped save the pup's life.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21'The little one was out of danger,

0:09:21 > 0:09:26'and could now hop about, and explore its new world.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29'The small bit of cord left on the pup

0:09:29 > 0:09:32'will dry up and drop off naturally.

0:09:32 > 0:09:36'Now, two days on, Mark has invited us down to See Lion Beach.'

0:09:36 > 0:09:40Do you want to come and have a look? Got something to see!

0:09:42 > 0:09:46Look down the side of the bridge.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50One little baby sea lion.

0:10:05 > 0:10:06She hasn't left it much yet,

0:10:06 > 0:10:10so, I can't tell yet whether it's a boy or girl.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12That one has got a very dainty little face,

0:10:12 > 0:10:14so I think it might be a girl.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Some of the male ones look quite ugly sometimes,

0:10:16 > 0:10:19so I think it's a girl!

0:10:19 > 0:10:23'For now, JoJo will keep watch on her pup,

0:10:23 > 0:10:25'feeding milk every few hours,

0:10:25 > 0:10:29'and the pup is just getting used to life.'

0:10:29 > 0:10:31This pup will just stay around here,

0:10:31 > 0:10:35until it's comfortable to swim which can be from a week onwards.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37They can instinctively swim on day one,

0:10:37 > 0:10:40although mums choose they rather wouldn't.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42'It's early days yet,

0:10:42 > 0:10:46'but sooner or later the pup will have to go in the water.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49'Will she sink or swim?

0:10:49 > 0:10:52'Don't go away, because our cameras catch all the action!'

0:11:00 > 0:11:02'To be a park keeper,

0:11:02 > 0:11:05''you need to be a real team player.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07'So, it's just as well

0:11:07 > 0:11:09'our two rangers today are sports mad!

0:11:09 > 0:11:13'Looking to pitch in with whatever is thrown at him,

0:11:13 > 0:11:14'is 11-year-old Louis,

0:11:14 > 0:11:18'and looking to hit him out of the park today,

0:11:18 > 0:11:20'is 10-year-old Fraser.'

0:11:20 > 0:11:23Me and Fraser are going to be really good Roar rangers today,

0:11:23 > 0:11:25because we're really active and up for everything!

0:11:25 > 0:11:27I got it!

0:11:27 > 0:11:31'They're certainly confident, but if they're going to guess the clues,

0:11:31 > 0:11:34'they're going to have to put their thinking caps on!

0:11:36 > 0:11:38'Clue number one...

0:11:38 > 0:11:40'a toolbox!

0:11:40 > 0:11:42'And clue number two...

0:11:42 > 0:11:46'a key, ooh, and some grapes!'

0:11:48 > 0:11:51- What do they taste like?- Grapes.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54What about the toolbox?

0:11:54 > 0:11:58The hammer could, like, squash the grapes, to make wine.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03'Drunk animals? I don't think so!'

0:12:03 > 0:12:04The key...

0:12:04 > 0:12:07'Any ideas?'

0:12:07 > 0:12:08Fraser, what do you think?

0:12:08 > 0:12:11I need help.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13'They can't unlock the clues,

0:12:13 > 0:12:16'so it's off to keeper Corinne for some answers.'

0:12:18 > 0:12:20- Morning boys!- Morning.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22Any ideas on what animal you'll be working with?

0:12:22 > 0:12:25No idea!

0:12:25 > 0:12:27The reason you were given a key,

0:12:27 > 0:12:29was because we're here with the monkeys.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34Monkey, get it, yeah?

0:12:34 > 0:12:35Good one! Monkey!

0:12:38 > 0:12:40This is the Monkey Jungle,

0:12:40 > 0:12:43and we've got a troop of about 100 Rhesus macaques in here.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47'In the wild, macaques live in central and south east Asia,

0:12:47 > 0:12:50'and like all monkeys, they are clever,

0:12:50 > 0:12:53'very clever!

0:12:53 > 0:12:55'Here in Monkey Jungle,

0:12:55 > 0:12:59'they also have a bit of a reputation for, well...

0:12:59 > 0:13:03'playing with the cars!

0:13:03 > 0:13:06'That was the toolbox clue!

0:13:06 > 0:13:09'You see, they can't resist a bit of monkey mechanics,

0:13:09 > 0:13:12'pulling bits off the cars,

0:13:12 > 0:13:15'and with up to 1000 cars a day coming through the jungle,

0:13:15 > 0:13:17'they never get bored.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22'Once the monkeys have had their play,

0:13:22 > 0:13:24'they just leave everything lying around.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27'Cleaning up after them, is a regular job for the keepers,

0:13:27 > 0:13:32'so Corinne needs the boys' help to tidy up.'

0:13:32 > 0:13:34And I need you guys to put these on

0:13:34 > 0:13:37and give me a bit of a helping hand with them.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42More hard work!

0:13:42 > 0:13:46'So our Roar Rangers hit the road for their first job of the day.'

0:13:50 > 0:13:52Right, boys, out you get.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56Right. Now, we're actually inside the monkey enclosure.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59Stay really close to me because they're quite smart,

0:13:59 > 0:14:02they're quite curious, and they might approach us.

0:14:02 > 0:14:03Stay as safe as possible.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07'By staying close to Karin, a trained professional, at all times,

0:14:07 > 0:14:11'the boys will be totally safe.'

0:14:11 > 0:14:15Anything you see on the ground that looks like it belongs to a car,

0:14:15 > 0:14:18I want you to help pick it up and put it in the back of the truck.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21- All right?- Yep. - Shall we go and have a look?- Yeah.

0:14:22 > 0:14:27'It's a huge enclosure and there's lots of stuff to pick up.'

0:14:27 > 0:14:29I've got a windscreen wiper.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Oh, that's a good haul, that big, long bit.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34We'll have that piece of trim. You've got one.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36'All the car parts are saved

0:14:36 > 0:14:39'so that the owners can come back and claim them.'

0:14:39 > 0:14:43Oh, brilliant. That's an aerial. Yep, we'll have that.

0:14:43 > 0:14:47Oh, you've got a jackpot there. That's a number plate.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50- A windscreen wiper. - And a mirror! Wow! Brilliant!

0:14:50 > 0:14:53'It might not be good news for the car owners,

0:14:53 > 0:14:56'but it's a good form of enrichment for the car-crazy monkeys,

0:14:56 > 0:15:00'as it keeps their busy minds active all day long.'

0:15:00 > 0:15:02That's a tidy job, fellas. Well done!

0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Shall we put it in the back of the car?- Yep.- Yeah.

0:15:05 > 0:15:09'Back at the truck, the boys have a closer look

0:15:09 > 0:15:11'to see exactly what they've found.'

0:15:11 > 0:15:15- Is that it there?- Yeah. Or it could be from the window.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17If my dad had this on his car

0:15:17 > 0:15:20and one of the monkeys ripped it off, he'd be really annoyed.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23I think the boys were really surprised

0:15:23 > 0:15:25by how much of a haul we get every day

0:15:25 > 0:15:29from what the monkeys pull off the cars. They're little hooligans.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32So it's quite a stash that we take away.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35'Karin and the other keepers have been thinking up ideas

0:15:35 > 0:15:38'to try and stop the monkeys being so naughty with the cars.

0:15:39 > 0:15:43'They've built them a massive new climbing frame.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46'Can our rangers tempt them onto it with the tasty grapes?

0:15:46 > 0:15:50'Come back later to see if the plan works.'

0:15:57 > 0:16:00No. An uncooked mushroom barely smells of anything.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03One animal in the park has an amazing sense of smell.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05We're going to test it out today.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08Michelle is going to tell us which animal it is.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11- I'm imagining a duck-billed platypus.- No.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14- An elephant?- No. - Which animal is it, then, Michelle?

0:16:14 > 0:16:18- It's not one, it's our two kunekune pigs.- Wow!

0:16:18 > 0:16:22I see their snouts. They have a really good sense of smell, do they?

0:16:22 > 0:16:26Yeah. Pigs are actually used to sniff out truffles underground.

0:16:26 > 0:16:30- A truffle is a kind of mushroom, isn't it?- Yeah. They're both fungus.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33We can't, unfortunately, afford truffles,

0:16:33 > 0:16:36so we're going to use mushrooms instead.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39So, how much are these truffles worth, potentially?

0:16:39 > 0:16:44The most expensive one went for £28,000.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46£28,000!

0:16:46 > 0:16:49'Truffles are a rare type of underground fungi

0:16:49 > 0:16:54'or mushroom which are often used in very expensive cooking.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57'Traditionally, pigs, with their superb sense of smell,

0:16:57 > 0:17:01'have been used to hunt for them in the woods where they grow.

0:17:01 > 0:17:05'They're very valuable and worth more than their weight in gold.'

0:17:05 > 0:17:09So, do you reckon our pigs will be able to smell them out?

0:17:09 > 0:17:12We're going to give it a go. We've not tried it before.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15- So we'll see what happens. - OK, Michelle, who've we got in here?

0:17:15 > 0:17:18This is Wilbur and Rufus in here.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21Wilbur and Rufus. OK. Where are they now, then?

0:17:21 > 0:17:24They're inside because they can get a bit boisterous.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26- Where shall we put them? - What we're going to do

0:17:26 > 0:17:29is dig a hole in the sand,

0:17:29 > 0:17:32put the mushrooms in, cover it over and flatten it down.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35- Have you done this before? - We haven't done it with mushrooms,

0:17:35 > 0:17:38but we've buried some of their food. It's good for them.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40It takes them longer to find their food,

0:17:40 > 0:17:44so they don't just wolf it down really easily.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46And it's good enrichment for them.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Obviously, they don't know where it is.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50If we train them to sniff out truffles,

0:17:50 > 0:17:52we could make quite a bit of money.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54- We could.- Let's get on with it. - Come on, then!

0:17:54 > 0:17:57# I need a dollar, dollar

0:17:57 > 0:17:59# A dollar is what I need, hey, hey

0:17:59 > 0:18:01# Well, I need a dollar, dollar

0:18:01 > 0:18:04# A dollar is what I need... #

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Right, Michelle, this is the last one.

0:18:06 > 0:18:10So, shall we get out of here and let the pigs in?

0:18:10 > 0:18:13- I think we should. - This is going to be good!

0:18:16 > 0:18:19They're coming out. Will they know straightaway

0:18:19 > 0:18:22- something's different about their enclosure?- Hopefully.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Come on, then, Rufus and who's this?

0:18:24 > 0:18:27That one's Rufus, this one over there in the mud is Wilbur.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30I can see their noses twitching. They're having a good smell.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33- How good is their sense of smell? - Their sense of smell is very good.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37They can smell something buried 15 centimetres below the ground.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Wow! They should be able to smell these mushrooms, then.- Yeah.

0:18:40 > 0:18:44It's not just their sense of smell. Aren't they intelligent animals?

0:18:44 > 0:18:48Yes. They're meant to have the same intelligence as a dog.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51- As a dog? Wow!- Yeah. So you can actually train them, as well.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54To be honest with you, they... He's got it!

0:18:54 > 0:18:57He's got one! Just when I thought it was all over!

0:18:57 > 0:18:59So, do you think he's going to eat it?

0:18:59 > 0:19:03I don't know. He's not amazingly interested in eating it, is he?

0:19:03 > 0:19:08They've only sniffed out one of our mushrooms, but that's a good start.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10I think if we train them a little bit more,

0:19:10 > 0:19:13we'll be, like, truffle millionaires before you know it.

0:19:13 > 0:19:14Oh, yes! Bring on the money!

0:19:22 > 0:19:26'Everyone knows that the giraffe is the tallest animal in the world.

0:19:26 > 0:19:30'But did you know that its heart is over half-a-metre long

0:19:30 > 0:19:33'and weighs 11 kilograms?

0:19:33 > 0:19:36'That's as heavy as a one-year-old human baby!'

0:19:40 > 0:19:43ALL: Now...You...Know!

0:19:48 > 0:19:51'Our two Roar Rangers, Louis and Fraser

0:19:51 > 0:19:56'have spent the morning cleaning up after the park's naughtiest animals,

0:19:56 > 0:19:58'the makak monkeys.

0:19:58 > 0:20:02'The keepers could never stop the monkeys from playing with the cars,

0:20:02 > 0:20:05'but are trying to distract them with a different play area,

0:20:05 > 0:20:07'a giant climbing frame.'

0:20:07 > 0:20:10In here, I've got a load of fruit and veg.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13- You remember the grapes and things? - BOTH: Yeah.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17Well, here we have some grapes. What I want you to do

0:20:17 > 0:20:19is a bit of a competition between you boys.

0:20:19 > 0:20:23See how much fruit you can get up on that platform up there.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25They need encouragement.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28It's something new, so they're a bit not sure about it.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30A bit of bribery, a bit of fruit,

0:20:30 > 0:20:33and hopefully, they should come over and play on it.

0:20:33 > 0:20:37'The problem is, ever since the keepers built it,

0:20:37 > 0:20:39'the monkeys have ignored it.

0:20:39 > 0:20:44'So today, keeper Karin has a plan to encourage them to climb.

0:20:44 > 0:20:48'First challenge is to get food up to the top platform.'

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Grab your ammunition.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52First to get the grape on there wins.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55'The boys are putting in some incredible throws.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58'The top platform is covered in grapes.'

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Frase, I think it's working.

0:21:00 > 0:21:04'At last! The monkeys can't resist their favourite fruit.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07'And the whole gang is coming over for some free food.'

0:21:07 > 0:21:12Just here, can you see? There's still one being carried by Mum.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15Hopefully, that will keep them going a little while.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18'The monkeys are loving their climbing frame.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21'But who won the throwing competition?'

0:21:21 > 0:21:24- I am the champion! - No, no, no. I got loads of grapes.

0:21:24 > 0:21:25I got thousands of grapes!

0:21:25 > 0:21:30Boys, it doesn't matter your scores, but you both did really well.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33The monkeys got on the climbing frame. Top marks for you both.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37'So, after a long day of monkey keeping,

0:21:37 > 0:21:40'have the Roar Rangers been successful?'

0:21:40 > 0:21:43I'm really pleased. That was fantastic.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45The boys were great, we got what we wanted.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48The monkeys are all on the climbing frame. So really thrilled.

0:21:48 > 0:21:54- "The feeding of these monkeys is strictly forbidden."- Whoops!

0:21:54 > 0:21:58I was very impressed with the boys' sporting ability.

0:21:58 > 0:22:02They throw really well, cos that's quite high but they did very well.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05Come on then, lads. Let's see your best monkey impression.

0:22:14 > 0:22:18Right, all you gamers, pay attention for today's secret ROAR code,

0:22:18 > 0:22:20because it's another valuable one.

0:22:22 > 0:22:27Type that in and see what you get. Happy gaming!

0:22:35 > 0:22:37'Back up at Sea Lion Beach,

0:22:37 > 0:22:42'and the new baby sea lion pup is now two weeks old.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44'And as keeper Mark thought, she's a girl.'

0:22:47 > 0:22:50As you can see, she's doing fantastic.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52Playing, confident, you know, great.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55Just typical sea lion.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58Inquisitive, playful, that's what they're like.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01They want to nose at everything and have a look at everything.

0:23:01 > 0:23:05Poor little thing got stung on the nose by some nettles the other day

0:23:05 > 0:23:09because inquisitiveness got the better of her.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12'She's also been investigating the shallow end at the edge of the lake.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15'Sea lion pups can swim soon after birth,

0:23:15 > 0:23:20'but really only do so if they're threatened by predators.

0:23:20 > 0:23:21'Safe on Sea Lion Beach,

0:23:21 > 0:23:25'this little baby has only been into the water a couple of times.'

0:23:25 > 0:23:28At the moment it is tentative first steps.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31They stay right near the edge. That's comfort for them.

0:23:31 > 0:23:36This is where they were born, so they're happy and comfortable here.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38So it's just little up and down the beach,

0:23:38 > 0:23:41around the jetty and stuff, but that's it for the minute.

0:23:41 > 0:23:45It'll probably be quite a long time before she ventures off further.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48We've had so many babies born on this beach.

0:23:48 > 0:23:49They really enjoy it.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53It's nice for them to slip and slide up and down on,

0:23:53 > 0:23:56and as you can see, she just seems really happy.

0:23:56 > 0:24:00'But she's also very inquisitive, and whilst we're filming,

0:24:00 > 0:24:02'she decides to take a look at the deep end.'

0:24:05 > 0:24:08"Shall I? Shan't I?"

0:24:15 > 0:24:17'She's gone for it!

0:24:20 > 0:24:22'But not for long. It'll be a few more days

0:24:22 > 0:24:26'before she's confident enough to really go in for a swim.

0:24:28 > 0:24:32'For now, she's happy splashing around in the shallow end,

0:24:32 > 0:24:35'where mum can keep a close eye on her.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37'She'll stay near mum,

0:24:37 > 0:24:40'living purely off her milk for the first few months.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42'It's one of the richest milks in the world,

0:24:42 > 0:24:48'so this pup will double in size in just a few weeks.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50'We'll be regular visitors to Sea Lion Beach

0:24:50 > 0:24:52'to see how this little one gets on.'

0:25:04 > 0:25:06Now before we leave you today,

0:25:06 > 0:25:08Johny, I have got an offer you can't refuse.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11How would you like three for the price of one?

0:25:11 > 0:25:13Three for the price of one? Sign me up.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Hang on, what am I getting three of for the price of one?

0:25:15 > 0:25:19All right. In this enclosure we have got three different creatures,

0:25:19 > 0:25:22and to tell us all about them, Sarah.

0:25:22 > 0:25:23- Hi.- Hello Sarah.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25Who have we got in here?

0:25:25 > 0:25:26We've got rock hyrax.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31Redheaded igamas, which are a small type of lizard.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34- And pancake tortoises.- You're going have to point these out then.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36Can I just ask first, what's this?

0:25:36 > 0:25:40Is it this colour because it wards off the predators as well?

0:25:40 > 0:25:42No, I'm afraid that's for cleaning.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44We've got quite a bit of dusting to do.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46Now that you've picked that up

0:25:46 > 0:25:49I think you should probably do a bit of cleaning!

0:25:49 > 0:25:50Who's that in the corner?

0:25:50 > 0:25:52These are rock hyrax up here.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54They're quite nervous.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57They've got sharp old teeth on them, haven't they!

0:25:57 > 0:26:00They have. They're like tusks coming down.

0:26:00 > 0:26:03They are actually distantly related to elephants.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05Oh distantly. They're tiny!

0:26:05 > 0:26:08It's unbelievable, isn't it. But yeah.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11I'm having a good look round, but I can't see these lizards anywhere.

0:26:11 > 0:26:13They're quite a small type of lizard,

0:26:13 > 0:26:16so in the wild they would have to be well camouflaged to be hidden away

0:26:16 > 0:26:20from any predators that might want to hunt them.

0:26:20 > 0:26:21So Sarah, would you naturally

0:26:21 > 0:26:24find these animals together in the wild, then?

0:26:24 > 0:26:27They all come from Kenya and Tanzania in the wild,

0:26:27 > 0:26:30so yes, they would share certain areas out in the wild.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32So you clean them out every day?

0:26:32 > 0:26:34Yeah we put their food in, do their water,

0:26:34 > 0:26:37and just give it a dust round for them, yeah.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40Would you mind showing us how you do the dusting then,

0:26:40 > 0:26:43because you must be really good. I'd like to get it right.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46- OK, I'll show you. - While Sarah does some dusting,

0:26:46 > 0:26:50why don't you guys check out what's on the next episode of ROAR?

0:26:52 > 0:26:58Next time. A baby joey is found abandoned in Wallaby Wood.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00The keepers must step in to save his life,

0:27:00 > 0:27:03but even with all this love, can the little one survive?

0:27:06 > 0:27:09There's a new pride of lions up in the safari park,

0:27:09 > 0:27:13and we're going to be meeting them for the very first time.

0:27:16 > 0:27:20And they say elephants never forget, but what about keepers?

0:27:20 > 0:27:25Can this lot catch out the boss with some jumbo questions?

0:27:25 > 0:27:29- Oh, that's pretty nasty actually. - That's all next time on ROAR.

0:27:29 > 0:27:30Don't miss it!
