This is The Let's Go Club, but mini. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
Expect making, exploring, super-sizing, dancing, | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
fact-finding and laughing. We've only got a few minutes, | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
so get ready for more fun from The Let's Go Club. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
-Hello, I'm Grace. -And I'm Jake. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
Today, we're going to be wildlife keepers. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
BOTH: Let's go! | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
A wildlife keeper is someone who looks after animals in | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
a wildlife park or a zoo. This is Lauren. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
She helps to look after one really special animal. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
Can you guess what they are? They have really long necks. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
-Giraffe. -Is it a giraffe? -It is a giraffe, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
and I've got a little treat for you. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
You're going to help me pick up some giraffe poo today. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
Here's your spade and come with me. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
What do you think it smells like? | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
It smells stinky but it's all right. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
A lot of people come in here and think it's really smelly, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
-so shall we pick up some poo? -Yeah. -Yeah. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
Yeah? Wonderful. Come this way. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
This one's for you, Grace. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
It's hard work, but it's really good fun. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
'There's so much poo.' | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
This is fun. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:14 | |
-Shall we put some nice fresh straw on top of their bed now? -Yeah. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
-Is it nice and squishy? -Yeah, it's like a bouncy castle. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
It is like a bouncy castle. It's comfortable for them | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
to sleep on because they're very heavy animals. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
-Shall we go and do something else? -Yeah. -Yeah. -Wonderful. Let's go. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
-Do you know what these are? -Stinging nettles. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
They are, and they love them. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
-Won't they sting the giraffes? -No, because the skin inside | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
of a giraffe's mouth is very tough. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
Why do you put the nettles in these metal balls? | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
In captivity they don't have to work as hard for their food, | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
so we put the nettles inside the balls and they | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
have to get the nettles out with their lips and tongues | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
through the gaps in the mesh. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
It makes them use their tongue like they're supposed to. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
This is a little treat. Shall we go and get them | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
-something a bit bigger to eat? -Yeah. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
We're at the plantation. This is where we get all our fresh | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
leaves and boughs for our giraffe to eat. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
What trees do giraffes eat? | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
We'll get some silver birch and willow today - | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
two of their favourites. If I cut down some trees, did you | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
-want to help me load them onto the vehicle? -Yeah. -Wonderful. Let's go. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
We'll cut down a willow tree for them, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
another one of their favourites. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
Those leaves look nice and tasty for the giraffes, don't they, Grace? | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
Yeah, they do. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:43 | |
-Now that's done, it's time to eat. -But I'm not hungry. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
It's not for you, Grace, it's for the giraffes! | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
'Lauren hung up the nettle balls.' | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
It's amazing! | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
'We're holding the boughs for the giraffe to eat.' | 0:03:12 | 0:03:17 | |
He's so strong! | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
-Oh! -THEY LAUGH | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
There we go. Can you see their tongues? | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
Yeah, they're really long and wriggly. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
-Can you see what colour their tongue is? -Blue. -It is blue. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
It's thought to be that dark blue, purpley colour | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
to protect against sunburn. It's very hot in the African savanna, | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
so they have a dark tongue to protect them against sunburn. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
Giraffe-y-raff-y! Hey! | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
Have you both enjoyed your day | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
-as a zookeeper at the wildlife park? -Yeah. -Yeah. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
What's your favourite part been? | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
I really enjoyed feeding the giraffes. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
Feeding the giraffes is much more fun than picking up | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
-their poo, isn't it? -Yeah. -Yeah. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
