-Rural Wales offers some of the most -spectacular scenery in Britain. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:05 | |
-But the countryside -offers much more than just views. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
-It's home -to some our best-loved wildlife. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
-But one group of mammals -lives a secret life. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
-By burrowing miles -of subterranean tunnels... | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
-..the way these animals -live their lives... | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
-..has been a mystery until now. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:35 | |
-We're going to do something -that has never been done before. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
-By uncovering some of these -burrowers' tunnels and chambers... | 0:00:39 | 0:00:44 | |
-..we're going to recreate -an artificial habitat. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
-For the first time ever... | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
-..we'll get an insight into -their secret subterranean lives. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
-We'll discover what water voles -do in their tunnels every day... | 0:00:55 | 0:01:01 | |
-..how rabbits cope with nurturing -dozens of offspring each year... | 0:01:02 | 0:01:07 | |
-..and how small badgers -learn to cope... | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
-..with the big world -beyond the sett. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
-Join me, Iolo Williams, -as we venture... | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
-..to the magical, hidden, -subterranean world of the burrowers. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
-To begin our journey underground... | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
-..we've travelled to a farm near -the Dartmoor National Park in Devon. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:51 | |
-Among the animals and buildings -you'd expect to see on a farm... | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
-..is something completely unique. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
-The biggest artificial burrow -ever to be created. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
-I've been watching -and studying wildlife all my life... | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
-..but never animals -that live underground. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
-Doing that -would have been too invasive. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
-But for the first time ever... | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
-..we've created habitats -for four very different burrowers. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:26 | |
-Over recent months... | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
-..a team of cameramen, -scientists and experts... | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
-..has been filming -and studying burrowers... | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
-..and analysing the footage... | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
-..to reveal interesting facts -and tales. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
-Some of the facts have been -a revelation for the experts. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
-Our rabbit expert is Ceri Morris... | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
-..a mammal ecologist who works -for Natural Resources Wales. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:57 | |
-It's incredible to see -their world inside the chambers. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
-We're used to seeing rabbits -in the countryside. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
-Rabbits are among most common -mammals in the British Isles. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
-But we know next to nothing -about their habits underground... | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
-..which is the most important time -in their lives. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
-They're expert burrowers... | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
-..and we have a great deal -to learn about them. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
-Britain's best-known warrens -are off the Pembrokeshire coast. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:36 | |
-Skomer Island and Skokholm Island. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
-The Normans introduced rabbits -to the island in the 13th century... | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
-..to provide a regular supply -of meat and fur. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
-The next burrower is different -from the rabbit in many ways. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:54 | |
-Firstly, -it's a rare creature nowadays. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:59 | |
-It also burrows -around riverbanks and under water. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
-Nobody knows more about water voles -than Dyfrig Jones. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:09 | |
-For years, we've watched them -and searched for their tracks. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
-You never see the system. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
-You never see -the network of chambers. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
-You never see a nest like that. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
-This is the first time you can start -putting all the pieces together. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:29 | |
-Archive footage of water voles -is very rare... | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
-..but we hope to discover how they -use their lair, how they mate... | 0:04:33 | 0:04:38 | |
-..and how they raise their young. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
-Data like this is important... | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
-..in helping us repopulate our -riverbanks with voles once again. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
-The last of the burrowers -is perhaps the hardest to study. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
-Badgers are timid nocturnal mammals -that are industrious at night. | 0:04:55 | 0:05:01 | |
-Badgers are monitored -by Owen Bidder on a daily basis. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
-They've done quite well. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
-They've nestled near the branches -and roots of the tree. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
-Badgers in the wild -burrow underground... | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
-..close to branches and roots... | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
-..to provide a structure -for their tunnels. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
-It looks as though we've succeeded -in creating a sett... | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
-..that is acceptable to the badgers. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
-Only time will tell -if they reveal their secrets. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
-The research work began in winter... | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
-..with a visit -to Bicton Park in Devon. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
-Rabbit numbers -have had to be controlled there. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
-One rabbit warren had been vacated -and provided a perfect insight... | 0:05:58 | 0:06:03 | |
-..into how rabbits -design their habitats... | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
-..how deep they burrow -and how complicated the tunnels are. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
-Park manager Cliff Cogger -was on hand to help us. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
-By smoking the warren, -it was possible to see... | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
-..how many entry holes there were. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
-There were 13 holes altogether -in the warren, but why so many? | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
-To avoid predators, of course. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
-Animals that kill -and feed on other animals. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
-The rabbits know their way around... | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
-..unlike the predators, -so it's easy to escape. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
-But how deep is the warren? | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
-We've enlisted the help -of another expert. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
-A ferret fitted with a GPS system. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
-At its deepest, the warren -reaches 2.5 metres underground. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:57 | |
-By inserting a camera -into the tunnels... | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
-..we can establish -that they're 20cm wide... | 0:07:01 | 0:07:06 | |
-..with a few leading to a chamber -measuring the size of a football. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:11 | |
-Using the data from the warren, -we now have a design... | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
-..to build a warren of our own. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
-One thing is very clear. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
-The warren will have to be big. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
-Very big. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
-These animals burrow -with great force and instinct. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:34 | |
-What's easy for them -is much more difficult for us. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:39 | |
-Building the rabbit warren -started in winter. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
-Heavy machinery was needed to dig -a hole larger than a tennis court. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:50 | |
-To replicate its size, -the interior had to be to scale... | 0:07:50 | 0:07:56 | |
-..and as close as possible -to a real warren. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
-Hopefully, our rabbits -will react naturally... | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
-..and bear their young -in the warren... | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
-..so that we can see how they -go about their lives underground. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:11 | |
-In addition to that... | 0:08:16 | 0:08:17 | |
-..we must be able to see and film -what the mammals do nocturnally. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:23 | |
-Cameramen devised a way... | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
-..to light and film -within the chambers and tunnels. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:31 | |
-In order to set lighting levels... | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
-..cuddly toys were used -to represent the rabbits. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
-These are the rabbits... | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
-..that will eventually -enter the warren. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
-They're partially-tamed rabbits. -They're getting used to my presence. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:53 | |
-We couldn't use wild rabbits. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
-If you grouped wild ones together -in a very confined space... | 0:08:57 | 0:09:02 | |
-..they would fight, -often to the death. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
-They're ferocious animals -and quite nasty, to be honest. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:10 | |
-Partially-tamed rabbits -must be used for this purpose. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:15 | |

-As the work continues -on the rabbit warren... | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
-..work began -on an artificial habitat... | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
-..for another burrower -with completely different needs. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
-The habitat -is much more complicated. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
-It's the smallest -of our burrowers... | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
-..but they burrow with such force... | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
-..that a concrete foundation -is required for the den. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
-Our next subject is the water vole. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
-But how do they -build their burrows... | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
-..meet each other and mate? | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
-Those are some of the questions -we're hoping to answer. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:13 | |
-But we have one fundamental problem. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
-No-one knows -how water voles build their dens... | 0:10:18 | 0:10:22 | |
-..so we decided -to perform an experiment... | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
-..that has never been tried before. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
-Letting the voles themselves -show us. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
-Two water voles burrowed -in a box of sand for a month. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:40 | |
-They created their own lair. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
-For the first time, -we've been able to establish... | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
-..the size and form -of a water vole's den. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
-This is the first time -you can piece together the jigsaw. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:57 | |
-It's interesting to see. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
-It's very complicated, -much more so than I expected. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:06 | |
-I foresaw a tunnel and two -chambers, but there are many. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
-The two nests, -one there and one over there... | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
-..are quite far away -from the point of entry. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
-Yes, and what I'd like to see -is this in three dimension. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:22 | |
-You could see if it was built -on different levels then. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
-If you think about a dyke, -a brook or a canal... | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
-..you have that depth, -from the bottom of the brook... | 0:11:30 | 0:11:35 | |
-..all the way up to the bank. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
-It'd be lovely to see -the different levels they use. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
-But I suspect that this is -a good example of their habitat. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:46 | |
-Space has been restricted -because it's in a box. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:51 | |
-Imagine if you were near -a ditch or a canal... | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
-..where you might have a depth -of 10 metres or 15 metres. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:59 | |
-Imagine how much burrowing -these small creatures must do... | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
-..in order to create this network. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
-They're very industrious. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:07 | |
-They're very industrious. - -Two things stand out for me. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
-The two nests. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
-This isn't very deep, yet the nests -are as high up as they can be. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:18 | |
-We're very aware that the nesting -chambers are higher up in the den. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:24 | |
-If you think -about a canal or a ditch... | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
-..from the surface of the water -to the bottom... | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
-..there's sure to be -a depth of three to five metres. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
-We know that they enter their dens -in the water... | 0:12:34 | 0:12:38 | |
-..and climb to the nesting chambers. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
-They're usually higher up -in the structure... | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
-..in a mud mound -or whatever they choose to nest in. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:48 | |
-There are features missing -from this example. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:53 | |
-Usually, there are more holes. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
-There's a point of entry -to this network of chambers... | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
-..and tunnels -from one chamber to another. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
-But there is usually -at least one other tunnel... | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
-..serving as an escape route -to dry land. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
-There's an opening at water level -and another higher up. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
-That's usually the case. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
-The more information we collate... | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
-..about the importance of these -different chambers to them... | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
-..the more we can do to preserve -the habitat in which they live... | 0:13:26 | 0:13:30 | |
-..and areas -where we'd like them to repopulate. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
-This information -is vitally important. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
-Using the data -from the sand box experiment... | 0:13:43 | 0:13:47 | |
-..we can create an artificial -habitat for the water vole. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
-It must be by a river... | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
-..with a network of tunnels -and rugby ball-sized chambers. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
-This is where -we'll be filming the water voles. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:08 | |
-It's not quite finished, -The lads are still working on it. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
-There'll be water -where I'm standing now... | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
-..while this is the riverbank. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
-They'll fill these holes -with plants, rushes... | 0:14:18 | 0:14:23 | |
-..vegetation and so on. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
-The tunnels themselves... | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
-..are entered from this opening -and another one further along. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
-They lead to this shed... | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
-..where we'll film the animals -underground. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:39 | |
-The sand box showed us -that water voles... | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
-..build an orderly network -of tunnels. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
-We've one more lair to build. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
-A badger sett. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
-The badger sett -was constructed in Somerset... | 0:15:09 | 0:15:15 | |
-..on the site of the Secret World -wildlife rescue centre. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
-The centre -offers a unique opportunity... | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
-..to house homeless badgers -sent there from all over the UK. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:28 | |
-Every winter, -veterinary nurse Sara Cowen... | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
-..cares for dozens of stray badgers. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
-If they're strong enough by summer, -they're released into the wild. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:41 | |
-This year, Sara has agreed -to let the badgers live and breed... | 0:15:41 | 0:15:46 | |
-..in an artificial sett built by us. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
-A badger of this size... | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
-..stands a better chance of survival -if it's in a group. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
-Six badgers will be introduced -to the sett to form a new family. | 0:15:56 | 0:16:02 | |
-To have any hope -of surviving in the wild... | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
-..they must learn -to rely on each other. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
-While the badgers -settled in their new home... | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
-..I met Rhys Gwyn, -a Snowdonia National Park warden... | 0:16:16 | 0:16:21 | |
-..to learn more -about how badgers live in the wild. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:25 | |
-It's always the same when you -start looking for animal tracks. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:31 | |
-You start noticing little signs. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
-Marks where badgers have burrowed -in the ground for insects... | 0:16:33 | 0:16:38 | |
-..scratch marks on trees... | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
-..badger droppings... | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
-..or even signs of where -they've dragged ferns into the sett. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:50 | |
-You can see -where they've been foraging. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
-It's just a matter of noticing -these signs around the place. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
-There's bound to be... | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
-..a lot of earth -beneath our feet here. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
-From the height -of the fence nearby... | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
-..you can see that a lot of earth -has been dug up here. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:10 | |
-This is small compared to some. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
-This is one hole, one entry point. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
-How many are there in total -and where are they? | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
-It's hard to tell because there are -so many openings between the rocks. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:25 | |
-In lowland areas, a sett -could easily have 50 openings. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:30 | |
-How many badgers live in this one? | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
-From what I've seen... | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
-..there's one large boar... | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
-..and one sow. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
-They have two offspring. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
-I've also seen one younger female -that wasn't born this year. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:50 | |
-How far would these badgers wander? | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
-How far would these badgers wander? - -It depends on the territory. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
-The size of the territory depends -on how much food is available. | 0:17:56 | 0:18:00 | |
-In lowland areas, territories -tend to be relatively small. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:06 | |
-In Scotland, where extensive -research has been carried out... | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
-..you'll find territories -ranging from 130 to 300 hectares. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:16 | |
-They're sprawling territories. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
-In lowland areas, -territories are about 30 hectares. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
-That's enough to sustain -a large family of badgers. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
-You're holding a mixture. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
-What exactly is it -and what do you do with it? | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
-One way of establishing -the size of badgers' territory... | 0:18:32 | 0:18:36 | |
-..is by leaving food out for them. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
-They're particularly fond -of peanut butter... | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
-..mixed with something sweet -like syrup or honey... | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
-..containing -harmless plastic pellets. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
-They pass through the body, so that -when they mark their territory... | 0:18:50 | 0:18:55 | |
-..those pellets can be seen clearly -in their droppings. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
-By using -different-coloured pellets... | 0:18:59 | 0:19:04 | |
-..and leaving them -in different areas... | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
-..we can establish the territories -of each badger family. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:13 | |
-We'd better spread that about -and return in a couple of days. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:17 | |
-Where do you leave it? | 0:19:17 | 0:19:18 | |
-Where do you leave it? - -Close to the hole. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
-Do you leave it all there? | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
-No, a little here -and some more near another hole. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
-That should do it. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
-So we'll leave that for now -and return in three days' time... | 0:19:29 | 0:19:34 | |
-..to see if we can spot the pellets -in the droppings. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
-Off we go then. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
-Now that we have an idea -of the scale of a badger sett... | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
-..we must build a network -of tunnels and larger chambers... | 0:19:48 | 0:19:53 | |
-..since badgers -are very sociable creatures. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
-There's no time to waste. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
-Another small badger -has reached the centre. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
-It's the smallest of them all. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
-She was found freezing and -whimpering in a corner of a field. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:19 | |
-Will the five that have lived -together for a period of time... | 0:20:20 | 0:20:26 | |
-..accept the new addition? | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
-If she's not accepted -by the group... | 0:20:28 | 0:20:31 | |
-..life will be difficult for her. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
-Returning her to the wild -would be impossible. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
-Back on the farm in Devon, the first -of our new habitats is ready. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
-After being delayed by the weather, -everything is finally in place... | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
-..and the rabbits -have started to settle in. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
-This is my first chance to go -inside to see the rabbit warren. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:03 | |
-It's like stepping -into a subterranean world! | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
-Let's go in. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:08 | |
-Wow! This is what -a proper rabbit warren looks like. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:32 | |
-It could have been -dug from the earth. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
-This has been modelled -on an actual rabbit warren. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:43 | |
-You can see that it's a network -of tunnels and different chambers. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:48 | |
-At the moment... | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
-..it houses ten rabbits. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
-Two males and eight females. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
-The first burrowers -have moved into their new home... | 0:22:08 | 0:22:12 | |
-..and we're almost ready... | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
-..to introduce -the water voles and badgers... | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
-..to their new homes too. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
-Next week, we'll discover -if the animals have settled in. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
-Will the rabbits be ready to mate? | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
-How will the water voles -adapt to their new home? | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
-And will the new family of badgers -welcome the stray into the fold? | 0:22:31 | 0:22:35 | |
