In the Small Mammal House - With Uncle Bill at the Zoo - GB

hey [Music] then [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] hello hello come over and have a look now of course most kangaroos are assaulted because it is so very rare it was sent by the australian farmers as impressive to mr winston churchill now i'll show you an animal rather like angry knockout but not out there oh good what is it this square looking creature from south africa is called the armored bark that's not knight meaning ant-man it's got a tower run like a kangaroos very powerful floor like feet it uses these to tear down ant hills of course in south africa and hills are enormous and contain bottles of ants and eggs you see the armbar hasn't been spilling like a pig he looks more like a big banana when he's eating [Music] just to show them how damn the pokemons really are and the bill is going to let them climb up take acorns right out of his mouth he looks rather dangerous but because it isn't because humble knows these animals and they know him but rex is not so sure he's glad when the trick is nice one you'll enjoy that now this apple comes from south america it's called the armadillo it lives on worms and other insects that are found underground he knows where they are and just sits furiously like this these trampoles are all recycled in charge now you can take good look at his feet this is called the small bowel house where all those rooms hanging up one do we dance in one place has gone to hospital the cage has been disinfected but in case there are any microphones a little english animal used to hunt wrecks and rabbits out of their homes pivots are serious little creatures as a rule and generally only their owners can handle them but this one is very tight and loves the embedded you can now we'll put it back in the [Laughter] in the cage curriculum this is the ringtailed kevanti from south america his tinder calls him on rather nervous because of the quaint ride he wrinkles his nose of everything he doesn't like being handled by someone he knows and trusts and as they've been talking about keeping cages clean i'm the bill takes them to see what care is taken of the elephants there are two kinds of elements you know the african which is much the larger of the two and the indian these are indian elements they're only about four years old they're really fainted but silly televators the things they can do with that little finger they have at the end of their trunk will surprise you they can pick up near specks of food with it don't be afraid just hold it on your part lightly to keep them well the little element has to be grooved with a hard wired brush they have to be clean behind the ears too just like you even have the toenails brushed and polished over themselves this is because wild elephants always throw dust over themselves you'd never guess why it's to prevent insects biting and annoying you wouldn't think an animal with a skin as snickers and elephants could be worried by insects would you but they are when they give the drink it doesn't all go down their throats in the mildew always give themselves a good shower when they go to drink so these elephants do the same in the zoo so and now to make a perfect ending to another one little time with uncle bill at the zoo one of the little elephants is scary and daniel arrived well goodbye gary and tenure we'll be seeing you at the zoo playing very soon
