0:00:02 > 0:00:05Every animal at Longleat is precious and every birth is nerve wracking for the keepers.
0:00:05 > 0:00:10We're at the giraffery, but it's not the endangered giraffes that are expecting,
0:00:10 > 0:00:13it's an animal completely on the other end of the scale.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Yes, the pygmy goats are due to give birth at any moment.
0:00:16 > 0:00:21The keepers are standing by and we'll be following their story on today's Animal Park.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Coming up on today's Animal Park...
0:00:45 > 0:00:48The old tigers used to love a splash in their pool
0:00:48 > 0:00:52but will the new arrivals pluck up the courage to dive in?
0:00:52 > 0:00:55A demonstration of what not to wear?
0:00:55 > 0:01:00No! It's an exclusive show of Lord Bath's favourite fashions.
0:01:00 > 0:01:06And how will 25-stone heavyweight, Nico the Gorilla, react to these home grown treats?
0:01:06 > 0:01:10- What do you think he'll make of those?- He'll be pretty unimpressed with that!
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Last winter, and for the second year in a row,
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Jonjo the champion pygmy goat, had a busy fortnight
0:01:25 > 0:01:27up in the East African Reserve.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34The Longleat herd is predominantly female
0:01:34 > 0:01:36and they don't have their own Billy,
0:01:36 > 0:01:43and that's why Jonjo came hot-foot from his home in the Welsh Valleys.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48He's a jobbing stud, and he soon got down to business.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53But that was five months ago, and now Senior Warden, Bev Evans,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56has some predictable, though still exciting, news.
0:01:56 > 0:02:03Well, currently our five female goats are heavily pregnant, due this week,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06and it's their second time.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07We had births last year,
0:02:07 > 0:02:12and hopefully our five girls will be very successful this year
0:02:12 > 0:02:15and they should have quite a few kids, hopefully.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19This is Sour, and Sour is one of our friendliest goats
0:02:19 > 0:02:24and probably noisiest, actually. She did incredibly well last year.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28She had our twins, so hopefully she'll do just as well this year.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33Our girls are looking incredibly big.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35I would say, but obviously I can't say for certain,
0:02:35 > 0:02:39that a lot of them are carrying twins cos they're that big,
0:02:39 > 0:02:44very round, and also their udders are beginning to drop which shows they are very imminent,
0:02:44 > 0:02:48so we're just keeping an special eye on them at the moment.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52And well they might, because Bev and the team remember only too well
0:02:52 > 0:02:55what happened last year.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00For most of the herd it was the first time they'd ever been pregnant
0:03:00 > 0:03:04and, when they began to give birth, things started to go wrong.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11Sour did all right, but most of the other nannies' kids were stillborn.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Lilly had the worst time of all.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16She was in such distress that the vet,
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Duncan Williams, had to be called to carry out an emergency Caesarean.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Bev was there, along with Head of Section, Andy Hayton.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29For the sake of the babies, the operation was done
0:03:29 > 0:03:32just under a local anaesthetic.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36OK, just feeling in there for the uterus.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Grab the outside of the uterus.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43It took just moments to get the first kid out.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45There were no signs of life.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Swinging the baby is to clear fluid from the lungs.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Massaging is to try to get their system going.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04In fact, there were two - Lilly was carrying twins.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08But there was never any hope.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11By the time he started to do the stitches,
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Duncan had discovered what happened.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Unfortunately the placenta was detached already
0:04:18 > 0:04:20so the kids had died in the uterus,
0:04:20 > 0:04:22probably sometime during the night.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30At least Lilly did make a full recovery
0:04:30 > 0:04:32but, when birthing time was over,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35the final count for the whole herd was pretty grim.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Out of nine kids carried to term, there were just three still alive.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45So of course this year, right now, tensions are running high.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49As Bev settles them into the barn for the night, it's anyone's guess
0:04:49 > 0:04:53what she'll find later on, and who will be the first.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58If I had to put my money on it, I'd either go for Sour or for Prawn.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01They're looking like their stomachs are starting to change shape,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04their back ends are very puffy, their udders are down.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Also they sometimes start bleating,
0:05:07 > 0:05:09not to me but to themselves and that's a sign that,
0:05:09 > 0:05:14you know, it's possible movement and the kids are about to come,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17so yes, we'll just have to wait and see.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21We'll be back later when the very first babies arrive
0:05:21 > 0:05:25and let's just hope that this year goes a little better than last.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Many of the park's residents are fond of a refreshing swim,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42from the hippos basking in Half Mile Lake
0:05:42 > 0:05:45to the sea lions making a splash,
0:05:45 > 0:05:48but there's some animals you might not expect to see
0:05:48 > 0:05:50taking a little dip - the tigers.
0:05:50 > 0:05:56These shots are of the old gang - Shandy, Sonar and Kadoo.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Sadly Shandy and Sonar have now died,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02and much loved Kadoo is an old lady
0:06:02 > 0:06:05and prefers to spend her time indoors.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08But there are three new tigers at the park
0:06:08 > 0:06:11and the keepers are keen to see whether they'll enjoy a swim.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Before they can be released from the tiger house,
0:06:13 > 0:06:18I've been asked to drive up some rather large machinery
0:06:18 > 0:06:20to help prepare the pool.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24I'm out in the Tiger Enclosure, obviously without tigers...
0:06:24 > 0:06:27well, I hope so, but with keeper, Bob Trollope,
0:06:27 > 0:06:31and it's a big day here because the pond is going to be filled up...
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- It is.- ..for the tigers.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- You've already made a start?- Yep.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- So we've got to get this next tank load in?- Yes.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44- How do we go about doing that? - Just take the pipe off of here and just chuck it in there.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Mind you don't get wet, though!
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- This is the comedy bit! - It's gravity fed.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- OK, so just...- Just chuck it in there.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Ooh, look at that! OK. - And that's it.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Brilliant. Now, obviously fairly new tigers?- Yep.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Never seen this pond filled before?
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- No.- Why is it important for them to have water in the enclosure?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Well, tigers will actively seek out water to cool down
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- on a lovely hot summer's day like we've got.- Like this one, yeah!
0:07:12 > 0:07:16And they will go there and lay in it, just to keep cool.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Oh, really! Because you think cats,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22domestic cats, seem to actively avoid being anywhere near water?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- Yes, they do. - Tigers are completely different? - Completely, and lions.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30We've had ponds in the lions section. They don't go near them apart from a drink.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- Oh, really?- But the tigers will use this for all sorts of things.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37In the past we've had them laying there for hours on end.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- They drink from it.- Can they swim?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Is it something they can physically do?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Tigers are extremely good swimmers.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47If they need to get across a river or a lake or such,
0:07:47 > 0:07:49they can swim very well.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54Presumably like all the new things you introduce into the enclosure,
0:07:54 > 0:07:57this is very good enrichment for these new tigers?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Yeah, because as we've done in the past with Kadoo and so on,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03we chuck toys in there like that yellow ball,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05we can scatter feed round here as well
0:08:05 > 0:08:08and hopefully that encourages them to use it more.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12You shouldn't have to encourage them because they seek it out naturally
0:08:12 > 0:08:16but we like to put something different in there, just to keep them occupied.
0:08:16 > 0:08:22Do you think Sandari will be the first over here to check it out and see what she thinks?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Primarily I think Sandari will be the one!
0:08:25 > 0:08:29We're making gurgly noises behind us. We're almost at the end,
0:08:29 > 0:08:35so what we're going to do is take the tractor out of the way, let the tigers out
0:08:35 > 0:08:39and join us later to see what they make of their new swimming pool.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48There's been some breaking news back up in the goat House.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55Sour, the nanny, just given birth to three little kids,
0:08:55 > 0:08:57but there's a problem.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02pygmy goats only have two teats, which makes it hard for them
0:09:02 > 0:09:06to care for three babies, so the mother will often
0:09:06 > 0:09:09reject and abandon one of them.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Already it looks like Sour has decided to ignore the smallest kid.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20It may seem hard, but it's the natural way.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Bev Evans, who looks after the goats,
0:09:23 > 0:09:27is giving Sour one last chance to recognise her most needy baby.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Sadly, she just doesn't want to know,
0:09:37 > 0:09:41so now it's up to Bev to try to save its life.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47She's brought the kid into the staff room where it's warmer.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Of course nobody ever wants to take a baby from its mother,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53but this is a matter of life and death.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58The kid is a little girl, and her body temperature is dangerously low.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03We're just taking over Sour's job and stimulating her
0:10:03 > 0:10:06and getting her cleaned up, get her dry
0:10:06 > 0:10:10and we're just trying to see how she's gonna do, really.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13It's been a little bit touch and go.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16It's hard to say if she's gonna survive or not.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20She won't survive long without milk,
0:10:20 > 0:10:24and the best place to get that is from Mum.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28So Head of Section, Andy Hayton, is trying to get some from Sour.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33This will give the baby the best head start
0:10:33 > 0:10:36you can possibly wish for.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Lovely!
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Let's try a little bit here.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47This special first milk is called colostrum.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50It's full of antibodies to help protect newborn babies from disease
0:10:50 > 0:10:54and infection in the first few days of their precarious lives.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01But, if she's to survive, she'll need a lot more milk than this.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- She's swallowed that. - Swallowed, did she?- Yep.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09She's too weak to take any more milk right now.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12In fact, she doesn't look too good.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Sour's only ever had twins before, she's never had triplets,
0:11:17 > 0:11:22so she's probably quite occupied with giving birth to the second one
0:11:22 > 0:11:24and then the third, and by that time
0:11:24 > 0:11:26this little one had got a bit cold
0:11:26 > 0:11:30and wasn't really bleating as much and wasn't really standing as much,
0:11:30 > 0:11:34so, you know, once the other two were up and about,
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Sour's attention kind of turned to them.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Maybe she knows something we don't.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Maybe she thinks this little one is a lost cause,
0:11:43 > 0:11:47but we can only tell that later on, really.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Is that better?
0:11:52 > 0:11:56She's perked up a little bit and then she's gone a little bit sleepy again,
0:11:56 > 0:11:58so, you know, we'll just keep carrying on with this,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01just trying to give her just a bit more energy, really.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04As I said, she's still very weak.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Clearly, she's fading fast.
0:12:08 > 0:12:13- Maybe we'll give her a bit more of that kick start in a minute. - She's trying.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14Is she taking it?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17As a last resort, Andy tries an emergency treatment -
0:12:17 > 0:12:23a kind of pick-me-up medicine that's used by farmers on struggling newborn lambs.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31It's like a vitamin, mineral, supplement type thing
0:12:31 > 0:12:33and it just gives them a real boost.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37It's kind of kill or cure, almost.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42But it's not looking good.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44She's not as perky as she was.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46It's almost sometimes like they just quit.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51It's what happens.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- She's not gone yet. - She's not gone yet, no.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04But, Andy and Bev know there's really not much hope,
0:13:04 > 0:13:06and it may only be a matter of time.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11Later on, we'll find out what happens to the poor little kid.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Sadly, the pygmy kid is not an isolated case,
0:13:20 > 0:13:23and the keepers are no stranger to tragedy.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Just a few months ago, there was devastating news
0:13:26 > 0:13:31as Samba the gorilla passed away, leaving Nico the, Silverback male,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34all alone on Gorilla Island.
0:13:34 > 0:13:40He is now 47 years old, and for a gorilla, that is very elderly.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44The keepers are constantly trying to find new ways to keep him healthy
0:13:44 > 0:13:46and to give him special treats,
0:13:46 > 0:13:50some of which are actually home grown here in the park.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53So Ben and Head of Section, Mark Tye,
0:13:53 > 0:13:58are about to raid the orangery to see what they can find.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Mark, it's pretty amazing that they have all these exotic fruits
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- growing here down in Longleat? - Yeah, quite a surprise!
0:14:05 > 0:14:09It's called the orangery, but I didn't know they grew fruit in here!
0:14:09 > 0:14:12So your idea is to collect this fruit for...?
0:14:12 > 0:14:13- Nico the gorilla.- Fantastic!
0:14:13 > 0:14:15And he likes his fruits, does he?
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Loves fruits, it's the majority of his diet, fruit and vegetables.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22It would be nice to try some home grown and see how he gets on with it!
0:14:22 > 0:14:26OK. Well, this is where we should begin, which is obviously lemons.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31- Lemons, yes.- Has he tried lemons before?- He has tried them. Yeah?
0:14:31 > 0:14:35He wasn't that much of a fan, but you never know, these might be nicer.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37And I have to say, I am staggered
0:14:37 > 0:14:41that we can grow citrus, exotic fruits like this in the UK!
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Incredible! So what do you think, a couple of these?
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- A few of those.- So do you think that's the lemons sorted?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- Yes, I reckon that will be fine. - OK. I'm not sure, these look like
0:14:50 > 0:14:54slightly unripe oranges. What do you think he'd make of those?
0:14:54 > 0:14:59- We'd better leave those and find some a little more orange!- He probably wants little orange oranges,
0:14:59 > 0:15:04which looks like we've got some here. Should we collect a couple of these?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- Whoops, dropping them! - That one's ready to go.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10When he eats them, does he tend to just put the whole thing in his mouth
0:15:10 > 0:15:14or will he be quite picky and actually take the skin off it?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17No. He would normally peel them, you know.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Sometimes we cut them in half. - Smell that.- Smells fantastic!
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- Nice, isn't it! - Smells really fresh.- Gosh!
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- I'm sure he'll like those!- OK. Let's grab one from higher up here.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Are we gonna hide them around the island like we often do with...?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Yes, he's used to having his food hidden about for him,
0:15:33 > 0:15:37but perhaps we'll make it a bit obvious today for our purposes
0:15:37 > 0:15:39so we can see what he makes of them.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41OK, so we've got oranges and lemons.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Any bananas?
0:15:43 > 0:15:48My travelling leads me to believe this is bananas, and in fact,
0:15:48 > 0:15:53there's some up there, so if you wait here, I will go up and see.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I'm not sure what he's going to make of these.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59I think he might find these quite interesting.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Let me take a little couple of these down.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Right. So, Mark...
0:16:04 > 0:16:10these will be Nico's bananas! What do you think he'll make of those?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12I think he'll be pretty unimpressed with that!
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Knowing what a pig he can be,
0:16:14 > 0:16:18I think he's gonna think that's not worth the effort!
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- They smell quite citrusy.- They do.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24But I'm not sure that he's gonna get very much actually out of those.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27I think they need more ripening, but we can give it a go!
0:16:27 > 0:16:32- Well, it's not a bad fruit cocktail there.- See what he makes of that.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35All that's left is to take these up and find out
0:16:35 > 0:16:40what Nico the gorilla makes of home-grown bananas! Join us later.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51The Safari Park is home to around
0:16:51 > 0:16:5590 different species of animals that come in all shapes and sizes,
0:16:55 > 0:16:59shades and textures but, for sheer vibrancy and display,
0:16:59 > 0:17:04none of them can quite match Longleat's most colourful resident.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Lord Bath is famous for his flamboyant costumes.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12His family have lived here for over four centuries
0:17:12 > 0:17:14and this year he turns 75.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18To make the occasion, Lord Bath has invited us for an exclusive look
0:17:18 > 0:17:23at some of his favourite fashion gems from down the decades.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28It all began back in the late 1940s.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Well, up until my last year at Eton,
0:17:31 > 0:17:35I didn't have the slightest interest in fashion.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38It was only when suddenly there was this possibility of
0:17:38 > 0:17:44being colourful in what one wore when I was in Pop at Eton,
0:17:44 > 0:17:48that's the equivalent of being a prefect, and you were allowed then
0:17:48 > 0:17:53to wear anything colourful, that it suddenly came to the fore.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55I was permitted to display my authority
0:17:55 > 0:17:58by preening myself like a peacock,
0:17:58 > 0:18:02so that was the first time that I was consciously
0:18:02 > 0:18:05trying to out-colour my contemporaries.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08I like to be the most colourful one.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11The headmaster once told me off
0:18:11 > 0:18:15for wearing a peacock feather instead of a buttonhole
0:18:15 > 0:18:20and so I avoided it in his presence after that!
0:18:22 > 0:18:26After leaving school, Lord Bath put his penchant for preening on hold
0:18:26 > 0:18:30while he did his national service and studied at Oxford.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Then, as the 1950s came to a close,
0:18:34 > 0:18:38the time was right for a whole new look.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42# ..Eagerly pursuing all the latest fads and trends
0:18:42 > 0:18:47# Cos he's a dedicated follower of fashion... #
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Then it was after that, with the '60s beginning,
0:18:51 > 0:18:56reading everywhere that London had become the fashion capital of the world
0:18:56 > 0:19:01and as the swinging '60s began to roll,
0:19:01 > 0:19:06yes, I felt I could play my part constructively,
0:19:06 > 0:19:10and so gradually there was a certain development of an image
0:19:10 > 0:19:12that was mine and not somebody else's.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Lord Bath has kept many items
0:19:17 > 0:19:21from all those decades ago, so it's quite a treat
0:19:21 > 0:19:25to get a peek into his wardrobe and at these priceless pictures.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27To start with I had colourful sweaters
0:19:27 > 0:19:31and then I went to specially made clothes.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36This came in a batch where I had some evening wear made.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39It's, um...pony skin
0:19:39 > 0:19:41and fun fur.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Instead of black tie, I'd be wearing that.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48As the '60s turned into the '70s,
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Lord Bath's image took a new direction.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56And here I'm wearing kaftans for the first time
0:19:56 > 0:20:00which are a style that became much more frequent
0:20:00 > 0:20:02when I was down in France.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I've got a house down near St Tropez.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09I wear thin clothes, or no clothes, whichever I feel like,
0:20:09 > 0:20:15but it's nice to be able to just make the decision on the spur of the moment.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20From kaftans it was a short step to other kinds of long robes.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32I met somebody who knew a Ugandan tailor who was happy to make
0:20:32 > 0:20:36a garment to cover everything and I could quickly slip it on
0:20:36 > 0:20:40and I can be dressed within ten minutes, within five minutes.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45This is a cape that caught my eye in a second-hand shop,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48just up on a peg in a shop
0:20:48 > 0:20:52and again, I thought that's my sort of style.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57It would be evening wear, but it wouldn't have to be, I could go out at midday in that.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00It's open to all possibilities!
0:21:00 > 0:21:03In a wardrobe crammed with every imaginable colour,
0:21:03 > 0:21:06could there be anything even vaguely subdued?
0:21:09 > 0:21:14Well, this is black and relatively plain here in the front,
0:21:14 > 0:21:18yet if I'm fearing I'm going to be taken as...plain
0:21:18 > 0:21:22then I can turn round and it becomes a bit more colourful on the back.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27Could be able to go to black fashion sometimes, if I'm in mourning.
0:21:28 > 0:21:36But it's not too often you'll catch Lord Bath in anything so inconspicuous as black!
0:21:36 > 0:21:41Then more recently it's combinations of, say,
0:21:41 > 0:21:46a shirt like that within a jacket like that.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I know that I've been painted in that one.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52I think I chose it for the garment to be painted in
0:21:52 > 0:21:54because it puts the painter to quite a test
0:21:54 > 0:21:58to see if he can get the colours in the accurate order!
0:21:58 > 0:22:03Lord Bath's wardrobe still has more surprises yet to be revealed!
0:22:03 > 0:22:06We'll be delving deeper into the decades later on.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14I'm here in the degu enclosure with keeper, Bev Allen.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Bev, they're extraordinary looking creatures.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Where are they from originally? - From South America,
0:22:19 > 0:22:24high up in the mountains, and we've got eight degus in here altogether.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27So, out in the wild, what would they live off?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30They would eat things like roots of plants,
0:22:30 > 0:22:35grass, and they live on the dew from the grass for water.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36- Really?- Yeah.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- And do you try to mimic that here, then, the feed and things?- We do.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41We give them a strict diet,
0:22:41 > 0:22:45because you've got to be careful of diabetes in degus
0:22:45 > 0:22:48so we give them a strict diet of rabbit and chinchilla pellets
0:22:48 > 0:22:54and now and again we give them a bit of carrot because a healthy degu usually has orange teeth.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56If they've got white teeth, they're not very well.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Really? Very different to us!
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- It is, yes.- Bev, thank you very much.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Here's what's still to come on today's programme.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08The tigers are released to try out their new pool,
0:23:08 > 0:23:11but will they be brave enough to dip their paws in?
0:23:11 > 0:23:15And will Nico the Gorilla be at all impressed
0:23:15 > 0:23:17by Ben's home-grown fruit salad?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24But first, back up in the staff room,
0:23:24 > 0:23:29it's been an hour since the newborn kid was brought inside.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33She had to be rescued after being rejected by her mother,
0:23:33 > 0:23:35the nanny goat called Sour.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Bev Evans is trying to keep the baby alive with body massage
0:23:39 > 0:23:41and tiny feeds of mother's milk,
0:23:41 > 0:23:46but clearly the kid's life is hanging in the balance.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Right now, Bev's desperately trying to keep the baby warm.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51I've brought in a hot water bottle
0:23:51 > 0:23:54to warm it up from all angles, really,
0:23:54 > 0:23:57and it's starting to perk up a little bit,
0:23:57 > 0:23:59starting to lift its head,
0:23:59 > 0:24:05but only in fits and starts, it's not really jumping for joy yet.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08This kid was rejected because Sour must have felt
0:24:08 > 0:24:11she just couldn't look after three babies at once,
0:24:11 > 0:24:17but now Head of Section, Andy Hayton, has spotted a problem with one of the other kids,
0:24:17 > 0:24:20so he's called in vet, Paul Higgs, to take a look.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25Five hours after being born, one of them still can't stand up properly.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27No, there was no strength in it, whatsoever.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32Whenever he's putting weight on it, his back legs were both just splaying.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Yeah, he's quite weak, isn't he?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37I think his main problem is that his toes aren't...
0:24:37 > 0:24:39if you put his toes flat,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42he can't actually stand on the bottoms of his feet
0:24:42 > 0:24:46because his tendons are all contracted down.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49The problem was caused by having three babies in the womb.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52They were squashed together with no room to stretch,
0:24:52 > 0:24:56so the tendons in his back legs haven't developed properly.
0:24:56 > 0:25:02Generally they come right within 24 hours, otherwise we could...
0:25:02 > 0:25:05If he's still not right tomorrow afternoon or whatever,
0:25:05 > 0:25:08then we can stick a splint on them,
0:25:08 > 0:25:12but as it's both of them, we don't really want to splint both his legs
0:25:12 > 0:25:16and usually they just come right all by themselves.
0:25:16 > 0:25:22In terms of her, she looks fantastic for having just given birth to three,
0:25:22 > 0:25:24so I think they'll be fine.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28While the vet's been in the barn, Bev's been waiting in the staff room
0:25:28 > 0:25:31with the poor little kid.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35She was fading away, but now there's been a minor miracle!
0:25:50 > 0:25:54About an hour ago she was still wrapped up in a towel,
0:25:54 > 0:25:57hardly lifting her head, and then I just took the towel off her,
0:25:57 > 0:26:02she just stood up, had a wee and she's been like this ever since, won't even sit down.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Yeah, with little young ones like lambs and kids,
0:26:06 > 0:26:11they've got very little energy when they come out, very little reserves,
0:26:11 > 0:26:14so if they get cold, they rapidly use those up,
0:26:14 > 0:26:19and once they've warmed up, they tend to come back to life quite quickly.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22She's quite good. If you stick your finger in her mouth,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24she sucks really nice and strong now,
0:26:24 > 0:26:30so she should be quite happy to go onto the bottle now rather than just squirting it into her mouth.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- That's good.- And she's got loads of energy.- Good.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- She looks as good as the other two now, doesn't she?- Yeah, bless her!
0:26:38 > 0:26:41It's turned out pretty well, as you can see.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45A bit of a shock, actually, taking off the towel and she just stood straight up,
0:26:45 > 0:26:50so from nearly at death's door to up and about and quite lively, yeah.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55Really good. Long day, but yeah, very good, in the end.
0:26:55 > 0:27:01So far, so good, but now Bev and Andy will have to raise her by hand,
0:27:01 > 0:27:03bottle feeding her day and night.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05With four other pregnant nannies
0:27:05 > 0:27:09due to give birth any day now, they could be in for a busy time!
0:27:18 > 0:27:22I'm out in the Tiger Enclosure with Keeper, Bob Trollope,
0:27:22 > 0:27:24and just over my shoulder is Sandari.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26The tigers have been let out.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28We were here earlier, filling their pond.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31She is supposed to be taking an interest in the pond,
0:27:31 > 0:27:34but she seems to be taking more interest in us in this Land Rover.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38She does. She's a mischievous little thing, as you know, Kate.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41I'll just keep an eye on her for a minute,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44because she's a bit of a so and so.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48So we might need to make a little dash for it,
0:27:48 > 0:27:51if she starts biting our tyres.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54What we did was put some meat around the edge of the pond
0:27:54 > 0:27:56once it was filled up with water.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01There's a nice big very hard plastic ball in there for them to play with,
0:28:01 > 0:28:04so really, she should be finding that irresistible.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08As the tigers are so new to the park, the keepers are still learning
0:28:08 > 0:28:10what they do and don't like.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13They do like to stalk the cars,
0:28:13 > 0:28:16but there's a chance they may not like the water,
0:28:16 > 0:28:22but it's not long before Sandari's curiosity means that she just has to try it out.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26- She's spotted the ball in the pond. - Let's see.- Hopefully...
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Oh, there she goes! Quite quick.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34She just suddenly realised there was something else different in the park.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Straight into the water, not fazed by the water at all.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Oh, that's great!
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- Look, that's lovely! Paw shaking! - No fear of the water at all.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Look at her!
0:28:53 > 0:28:55She suddenly looks very kittenish!
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Oh, this is lovely, to see this!
0:28:58 > 0:29:01I bet Kadoo would be very, very proud of her,
0:29:01 > 0:29:05because Kadoo was always really the first one in the water, wasn't she?
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Yes, she was, and she's...
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- This is a mini Kadoo, without a doubt.- Yeah.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14When she was younger, she was exactly like this -
0:29:14 > 0:29:18mischievous, always investigating new things, enjoying it.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22- It's fantastic!- The other two are intrigued
0:29:22 > 0:29:25because they're sat up watching,
0:29:25 > 0:29:28but they're not quite brave enough to come across.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31I think she might be in here for most of the day, Bob!
0:29:31 > 0:29:35She looks like a very, very happy cat!
0:29:35 > 0:29:37That's such a success!
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- That's great, isn't it? - It's brilliant!
0:29:39 > 0:29:43- It's really nice to see all that sort of behaviour.- It really is.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46She looks incredibly happy.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- She is.- Very content. Bob, thank you very much indeed.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54We are going to leave this extremely happy tiger playing in her paddling pool
0:29:54 > 0:29:57and we'll leave you with a happy sight of her.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14His family have lived at Longleat for 13 generations
0:30:14 > 0:30:20but the present Lord Bath must be the most colourful one ever!
0:30:20 > 0:30:23To mark his 75th birthday, he's invited us
0:30:23 > 0:30:28in for an exclusive peep at his kaleidoscopic collection of clothes.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32The garment he's most famous for is the waistcoat.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43The reason I really like waistcoats is that
0:30:43 > 0:30:47you can choose something complex in texture and colour
0:30:47 > 0:30:52and if I'm wearing some straight colour, like that colour beneath,
0:30:52 > 0:30:54this can go over the top of it
0:30:54 > 0:30:57and bring the mind to much detailed things.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Very often designers approach me,
0:31:00 > 0:31:04including little snippets of material,
0:31:04 > 0:31:06and say they'd like to make a waistcoat
0:31:06 > 0:31:09and very often, if it's the sort of material I do like,
0:31:09 > 0:31:15I will say yes, but I get too many of them, my wardrobe is full!
0:31:16 > 0:31:20And now, Lord Bath has inspired a new fashion craze
0:31:20 > 0:31:23down in one of the Longleat gift shops.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26This one is called Jungle Blues.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Manager, Barbara Savage, has a line of Lord Bath waistcoats
0:31:29 > 0:31:31that have turned out very popular,
0:31:31 > 0:31:34particularly with the American visitors.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- Do they make them this big?- Yes.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39If you'd like to try one on, you certainly can.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44- Sure. - This one is called Quadrophenia.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48- Can you wear a sports jacket over this?- Absolutely, absolutely!
0:31:48 > 0:31:51- It makes you look much slimmer, actually!- It does, doesn't it!
0:31:51 > 0:31:54I'll put my sunglasses on!
0:31:54 > 0:31:58There are you, you see, you look really quite smart in that one.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Whereabouts in America are you from?
0:32:02 > 0:32:06- Houston, Texas.- Houston? Would you like to take one back to Houston with you?
0:32:06 > 0:32:09If you wrap it up! I would stand out!
0:32:10 > 0:32:16I don't think Longleat would be anything like what it is if we had Lord Bath dress in his suit.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19We're used to Lord Bath in his bright, vibrant clothing
0:32:19 > 0:32:23which reflects on his life and passion for Longleat.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28It's not just in the shop where Lord Bath's sense of style has been a big hit.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32When he goes around the estate, he always turns heads.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35It's not clothes I would wear myself,
0:32:35 > 0:32:38but I don't think it looks at all out of place.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42When we see Lord Bath he stands out, and that's the way it should be.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45I love the way he wears really funky shirts underneath
0:32:45 > 0:32:48that have no pattern whatsoever to do with the waistcoat,
0:32:48 > 0:32:50and I think that works really good.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57With his waistcoats now all the rage in Houston, Texas,
0:32:57 > 0:33:01has Lord Bath ever been tempted to break into the world of haute couture?
0:33:01 > 0:33:04After all, the contents of his wardrobe
0:33:04 > 0:33:06could be worth a small fortune.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09All of the items I'm liable to suddenly reach in
0:33:09 > 0:33:13and think, I haven't worn that for a while, and bring it out.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17I don't tend to say goodbye to a garment.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21I know people have said, would I put up a garment for charity?
0:33:21 > 0:33:23No! I wear them, still!
0:33:23 > 0:33:26And one can be highly sober in one's clothing,
0:33:26 > 0:33:29but I've never thought of myself as highly sober,
0:33:29 > 0:33:32but once you start on the colourful campaign,
0:33:32 > 0:33:34it's quite difficult to stop
0:33:34 > 0:33:38and you've always got to be one better than the others!
0:33:47 > 0:33:51Earlier, Head of Section, Mark Tye, and I went down to the orangery
0:33:51 > 0:33:54to pick some fruit as a treat for Nico the gorilla.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57The lemons and oranges are looking good,
0:33:57 > 0:34:00but the bananas may be a touch on the small side.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Still, it's all very eco-friendly,
0:34:02 > 0:34:07what with the food miles being so low - only about 300 metres in fact.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10- So we've brought it up to his island.- Yep.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13And made a nice pile of it there.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15So just remind me, we had lemons, oranges?
0:34:15 > 0:34:18And some rather tiny bananas!
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Very tiny! What do you think he'll make of it when he comes out?
0:34:21 > 0:34:25I don't know. He might go round the corner and go nowhere near it,
0:34:25 > 0:34:28but normally I put it in front of the door so he sees it,
0:34:28 > 0:34:31so we'll see what... You don't know what he's gonna do.
0:34:31 > 0:34:32OK, shall we let him out?
0:34:32 > 0:34:34- I know we've got someone inside? - Yep, OK, Luke.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37- Do you think he'll go straight past it?- I don't know.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39- There he goes. He trampled it!- He trampled it!
0:34:39 > 0:34:45Is this often how he comes out, because he knows we're here, so he's posturing a bit?
0:34:45 > 0:34:50Yes, there's a big crowd of people watching him, and he doesn't like that too much,
0:34:50 > 0:34:54- so this is a big show, "I'm the boss, my island, keep off!"- Yeah.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58- So he's looking at it now.- Yep.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00- Any idea what...?- Well...
0:35:00 > 0:35:03He's very pensive. I love it when he sits like that. It's almost like,
0:35:03 > 0:35:05"Which one shall I take first?"
0:35:05 > 0:35:09Yeah, but the look on his face is like, "I know this isn't normal.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11"My food isn't normally placed in a heap for me."
0:35:11 > 0:35:14- There's one of the...- Small oranges.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17How... Is he peeling it?
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Yeah, he loves peeling oranges.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21He doesn't eat the skin,
0:35:21 > 0:35:24so yeah, they're going down well.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28- He's probably thinking a little small, but very tasty.- Very tasty.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32Are you surprised he's going for it? I suppose it's fruit and fruit is his...
0:35:32 > 0:35:36He does like his oranges, he loves his bananas.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Quite what he'll make of the size of those bananas, I don't know!
0:35:39 > 0:35:41He's eating his second orange there.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Yes. That's obviously the favourite.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47I don't think the lemons and bananas are a big hit.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Why do you hide fruit around the island?
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Well, gorillas are obviously very intelligent animals
0:35:53 > 0:35:57and it wouldn't be very fair on them if we just placed their food in a big heap like that
0:35:57 > 0:36:01because he'd do exactly that - sit there, fill his face for ten minutes,
0:36:01 > 0:36:05then have nothing left to do. We leave a lot of the island uncut
0:36:05 > 0:36:09and that's what we use for hiding all his food in,
0:36:09 > 0:36:12then he's got to act like a wild gorilla and find his food,
0:36:12 > 0:36:16it's not just presented to him on a plate, he's got to look for it.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19He's got to forage, it's all part of the enrichment.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23Yes, a gorilla, particularly a male that thinks of food all the time,
0:36:23 > 0:36:27it's a very good way of getting him off his backside, making him active,
0:36:27 > 0:36:31keeping him going around the island and keeping him stimulated.
0:36:31 > 0:36:32Does he have a big appetite?
0:36:32 > 0:36:36He has an enormous appetite! He just doesn't stop eating.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37He would eat and eat and eat.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40It looks like he's peeling one of the lemons!
0:36:40 > 0:36:44He is actually using his fingers. He's quite dextrous.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46He's extremely dextrous, you know.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Although they're big, fat fingers, he can peel little peanuts
0:36:49 > 0:36:52and he's very good with his fingers.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54So we've had oranges, lemons,
0:36:54 > 0:36:57but still hasn't gone near those bananas.
0:36:57 > 0:37:02Well, he's polished most of those oranges, most of the lemons.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03I think it's fair to say
0:37:03 > 0:37:07that the bananas weren't high on his priorities!
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- I think they need more growing!- I think so! Mark, thank you very much.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12What a success!
0:37:20 > 0:37:23When Sour, the nanny goat, gave birth to three kids,
0:37:23 > 0:37:28no-one really thought that the tiny weak one was going to survive,
0:37:28 > 0:37:32but that didn't stop Bev Evans and Andy Hayton
0:37:32 > 0:37:37doing all they could, and now, here we are, one week later.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44And here she is - the comeback kid!
0:37:48 > 0:37:52Pretty amazing comeback of all comebacks, I think, this one, isn't it?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55There were points when we actually thought it was dead.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57It's nice when things like this happen.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00She came home with me on the first night
0:38:00 > 0:38:05and she stayed at my house for probably a good five or six days,
0:38:05 > 0:38:08because she was just so incredibly weak.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11She's special in lots of ways.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15She's called Bubble, because she...
0:38:15 > 0:38:18sits after she's had her milk and blows bubbles out of her mouth,
0:38:18 > 0:38:20so a special character!
0:38:23 > 0:38:26You may have noticed that Bubble isn't the only new kid on the block!
0:38:26 > 0:38:29In fact, since Sour gave birth,
0:38:29 > 0:38:32four of the other nanny goats also had theirs.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35There are baby goats everywhere!
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Male, male,
0:38:39 > 0:38:40male...
0:38:44 > 0:38:47..five, yeah. Five males, four females.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Bubble still needs to be bottle fed,
0:38:52 > 0:38:56and now she's not the only one Bev's got to take special care of.
0:38:56 > 0:39:01I couldn't believe it - two sets of triplets, oh, God! That was just a shock.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05We've got two which we're hand rearing on the bottle, as you can see.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08Very healthy and hungry, all together,
0:39:08 > 0:39:11and all playing around in the sunshine, doing really well.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21When I was growing up, I just wanted to be working with animals.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24I grew up on a farm and I've always wanted,
0:39:24 > 0:39:27you know, a job that was outside and involves a lot of animals -
0:39:27 > 0:39:30cuddly, non cuddly, whatever shape, big or small,
0:39:30 > 0:39:34so hanging around with goats which are just coming out of your ears,
0:39:34 > 0:39:36yeah, it's brilliant, very nice.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39At the moment, they're not staying in this paddock
0:39:39 > 0:39:42so we move them up to the top goat barn at night,
0:39:42 > 0:39:43just because it's warmer and cosier
0:39:43 > 0:39:45and that in itself is a feat.
0:39:45 > 0:39:52Organising four mums and many babies is certainly a feat to be seen!
0:39:52 > 0:39:57The pygmy goats may be smaller than most of the other residents of the East African Reserve,
0:39:57 > 0:40:02but at round up time they can be a lot more trouble.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Come on, goats!
0:40:13 > 0:40:16We'll be checking back on the pygmy goats and all their kids
0:40:16 > 0:40:18later in the series.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28We're leaving the newest kids on the block
0:40:28 > 0:40:30to check up on some of the oldest.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34The pelicans have lived at the park for decades and are one of
0:40:34 > 0:40:38the world's largest flying birds.
0:40:38 > 0:40:43Their enormous wingspan can reach over 2½ metres, allowing them
0:40:43 > 0:40:45to swoop down gracefully to catch their prey,
0:40:45 > 0:40:47and being such large animals,
0:40:47 > 0:40:50they can certainly build up quite an appetite,
0:40:50 > 0:40:53as Ben and I are about to find out.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59We're with keeper, Michelle Stevens, to feed the pink back pelicans.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02So, Michelle, we've got a big bucket of mackerel here.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06- What do we need to do?- Just feed them.- Just throw it?- Yeah.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- Make sure everyone gets a piece. - There you are! Oh, my goodness!
0:41:09 > 0:41:12- They can be quite... - Look at the beaks, though!
0:41:12 > 0:41:16- They're absolutely enormous! - A bit ravenous at the moment!
0:41:16 > 0:41:22Just being this close to them, looking at this one at the back, here, Michelle, that's eating,
0:41:22 > 0:41:24looks a bit different from the others.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26- Is it a juvenile? - It's a different species altogether.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- Oh, really? - It's a spot billed pelican.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32I thought you only had pink backed pelicans here?
0:41:32 > 0:41:36We have 12 pink backs, and one individual... Ooh! ..spot billed.
0:41:36 > 0:41:37Taking your hand with it!
0:41:37 > 0:41:41So how come you ended up with one of an entirely different species?
0:41:41 > 0:41:44We're not sure. We just acquired four in the 1960s
0:41:44 > 0:41:47and he is just the remaining one
0:41:47 > 0:41:52- that we have left.- So he could be what 40, 50 years old?
0:41:52 > 0:41:56- Yes.- And that's common for pelicans to live that long, is it?
0:41:56 > 0:41:58They could live to about 40 or 50.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00We don't know much about the spot billed pelican.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04There aren't many in captivity, they're quite rare in the wild.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Where would you see them in the wild?
0:42:06 > 0:42:09These are native to the Philippines sort of area.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Right, so mixing with African pelicans,
0:42:11 > 0:42:14but seems to be very happy with them?
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Yeah, pretty much, yeah.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19We've tried to get a female for him, but no success, unfortunately.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23He's quite fond of the other females, we don't let him breed though!
0:42:23 > 0:42:27In 50 years at this park, he must have seen some things, some changes!
0:42:27 > 0:42:31- He could probably tell a few tales! - Well, Michelle, thank you very much.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Sadly, that's all we've time for.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Here's what's coming up on the next Animal Park.
0:42:38 > 0:42:43Could the latest technology save the life of Longleat's largest resident?
0:42:43 > 0:42:46An iguana loses its tail in an emergency operation,
0:42:46 > 0:42:51but can Paul the vet keep his nerve?
0:42:51 > 0:42:55And shipwreck and catastrophe are only a whisker away
0:42:55 > 0:42:58when Ben takes control of one of the big boats!
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Try and keep it straight! Don't panic!
