1
00:00:07,132 --> 00:00:10,760
JEN: Alright, Linda,
let's go for a walk.
2
00:00:10,844 --> 00:00:13,430
This is Linda, the
radiated tortoise.
3
00:00:13,513 --> 00:00:16,391
I've spent many an hour
out here walking a tortoise.
4
00:00:16,474 --> 00:00:18,601
Tough job.
5
00:00:18,685 --> 00:00:19,894
Am I in your way?
6
00:00:19,978 --> 00:00:22,397
I don't wanna be in the way.
7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,483
There's something incredibly
relaxing about watching
8
00:00:25,567 --> 00:00:26,985
a tortoise eat.
9
00:00:27,068 --> 00:00:28,611
One bite at a time.
10
00:00:28,695 --> 00:00:31,573
No rush, no stress,
right, Linda?
11
00:00:32,157 --> 00:00:34,659
We live a tough life,
kid, I'm telling ya.
12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:46,796
(theme music plays)
13
00:00:53,136 --> 00:00:56,056
NARRATOR: At Disney's
Animal Kingdom theme park,
14
00:00:56,139 --> 00:00:59,726
day dawns for Africa's
mightiest meat eaters.
15
00:01:03,730 --> 00:01:08,318
BRICE: Alright, Troy, are you ready
to shift one point two lions on show?
16
00:01:17,410 --> 00:01:20,830
Have a great day.
17
00:01:24,167 --> 00:01:27,378
NARRATOR: Three
majestic lions.
18
00:01:31,299 --> 00:01:33,718
Rule this savanna.
19
00:01:39,182 --> 00:01:41,309
BRICE: You'll normally
see them walk their whole
20
00:01:41,392 --> 00:01:43,770
perimeter and set and mark
a lot of different things.
21
00:01:43,853 --> 00:01:45,980
This is how lions communicate,
not only with each other, but
22
00:01:46,064 --> 00:01:49,359
with other lion
prides in the wild.
23
00:01:49,651 --> 00:01:51,861
After they survey their
surroundings, typically,
24
00:01:51,945 --> 00:01:53,947
you'll hear them vocalize too.
25
00:01:54,030 --> 00:01:56,866
(roaring)
26
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:58,993
There's that beautiful roar.
27
00:01:59,077 --> 00:02:03,706
(roaring)
28
00:02:05,542 --> 00:02:07,377
And that's pretty typical lion
behavior, that's how they
29
00:02:07,460 --> 00:02:10,046
announce themselves.
30
00:02:10,922 --> 00:02:13,216
Kinsey's kind of got like a
rasp to her vocalization.
31
00:02:13,299 --> 00:02:18,054
(roaring)
32
00:02:18,304 --> 00:02:19,597
Kamari likes to
do a quick huff.
33
00:02:19,681 --> 00:02:21,391
(roaring)
34
00:02:21,474 --> 00:02:26,646
And then Dakari is just
big, loud and powerful.
35
00:02:26,729 --> 00:02:29,190
(roaring)
36
00:02:29,274 --> 00:02:31,693
Their vocalizing is one of my
favorite things in the world.
37
00:02:31,776 --> 00:02:33,528
I've worked with them for two
years and hearing that sound
38
00:02:33,611 --> 00:02:36,865
every day just
gives me goosebumps.
39
00:02:39,284 --> 00:02:42,871
(roaring)
40
00:02:47,417 --> 00:02:49,210
You'll see a lot
of play behavior.
41
00:02:49,294 --> 00:02:50,962
One of their favorite things
to do is spar and play with
42
00:02:51,045 --> 00:02:52,922
each other.
43
00:02:53,006 --> 00:02:55,508
Our two sisters, Kinsey and
Kamari really love to see who
44
00:02:55,592 --> 00:02:58,553
can sneak up on
the other first.
45
00:03:01,848 --> 00:03:04,142
It's always been one of my
biggest goals to work with
46
00:03:04,225 --> 00:03:07,270
these beautiful African
carnivores and I have fallen
47
00:03:07,353 --> 00:03:09,898
in love with this pride.
48
00:03:09,981 --> 00:03:12,567
Good morning, Kamari,
how are you doing today?
49
00:03:12,650 --> 00:03:15,236
You having a good morning?
50
00:03:17,447 --> 00:03:21,409
From this vantage point, they
can see the entire east savanna.
51
00:03:21,659 --> 00:03:24,162
Our bontebok, our
waterbuck are coming out here.
52
00:03:24,245 --> 00:03:26,372
We have our ostriches, they
definitely get really hyped
53
00:03:26,456 --> 00:03:29,375
when the ostrich
comes soaring by.
54
00:03:33,421 --> 00:03:35,840
NARRATOR: But at the
happiest place on earth,
55
00:03:35,924 --> 00:03:38,760
a hidden network of
moats and barriers keeps
56
00:03:38,843 --> 00:03:41,721
predators and prey apart.
57
00:03:42,889 --> 00:03:44,682
BRICE: Right now, we are
introducing some of our
58
00:03:44,766 --> 00:03:47,727
baby rhinos to the savanna.
59
00:03:48,186 --> 00:03:50,146
Are you excited to see
the baby rhinos come out?
60
00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:51,147
(roaring)
61
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:53,149
Yeah.
62
00:03:53,233 --> 00:03:55,860
We have Mylo, Ranger
and their sister, Logan,
63
00:03:55,944 --> 00:03:57,695
coming out every day.
64
00:03:57,779 --> 00:04:00,281
These guys definitely keep a
good watchful eye over the
65
00:04:00,365 --> 00:04:02,867
savanna when all these babies
are coming out and exploring
66
00:04:02,951 --> 00:04:05,370
their new surroundings.
67
00:04:05,828 --> 00:04:09,374
NARRATOR: A healthy lion needs
more than just eye candy.
68
00:04:09,457 --> 00:04:11,709
BRICE: We get bored looking at the same
stuff every single day.
69
00:04:11,793 --> 00:04:14,420
So, why wouldn't they?
70
00:04:14,504 --> 00:04:16,965
They're all entering their
teens, which is the geriatric
71
00:04:17,048 --> 00:04:20,218
stage in a big cat's life, so
we really need to see how the
72
00:04:20,301 --> 00:04:23,096
range of motion
is functioning.
73
00:04:23,388 --> 00:04:26,766
Just like when we get older,
arthritis is a big problem.
74
00:04:31,938 --> 00:04:34,065
They did a hoof trim
on a giraffe yesterday.
75
00:04:34,148 --> 00:04:36,025
We put some of those shavings
on that rock, to replicate
76
00:04:36,109 --> 00:04:39,112
natural scents that lions
would smell in the wild.
77
00:04:39,696 --> 00:04:42,115
Like a giraffe just
walked through their exhibit.
78
00:04:44,242 --> 00:04:46,077
(laughs)
79
00:04:46,703 --> 00:04:49,247
This is really cool to see her
pawing and clawing at that,
80
00:04:49,330 --> 00:04:51,416
just like she would be using
those muscles to hunt and
81
00:04:51,499 --> 00:04:53,501
forage in the wild.
82
00:04:53,584 --> 00:04:55,545
Uh, oh.
83
00:04:57,755 --> 00:05:00,425
NARRATOR: Behind the scenes,
cast member, Robyn, plans to
84
00:05:00,508 --> 00:05:05,179
keep the lions' minds and
bodies in tip top condition.
85
00:05:05,263 --> 00:05:07,432
ROBYN: We came up
with a giraffe leg.
86
00:05:07,515 --> 00:05:10,601
NARRATOR: With a full scale
version of this mini model.
87
00:05:10,685 --> 00:05:12,312
ROBYN: It's got three
main components here.
88
00:05:12,395 --> 00:05:16,190
The big thigh piece, leg piece
and then the foot ankle piece.
89
00:05:16,441 --> 00:05:18,818
We'll try to figure out where
we could put those points that
90
00:05:18,901 --> 00:05:21,487
the lions could tug on
it and take it apart.
91
00:05:21,571 --> 00:05:23,614
I have been to Kenya twice.
92
00:05:23,698 --> 00:05:26,034
It's really helped me
to design enrichment.
93
00:05:26,117 --> 00:05:29,954
I have seen lions
take down a buffalo.
94
00:05:30,705 --> 00:05:33,416
I have seen them
hunting after giraffes.
95
00:05:33,499 --> 00:05:36,586
As soon as they get a hold
of their prey, they're gonna
96
00:05:36,669 --> 00:05:38,921
start pulling pieces off.
97
00:05:39,380 --> 00:05:41,799
NARRATOR: The challenge is
to make a giraffe leg that
98
00:05:41,883 --> 00:05:45,720
withstands the force
of a 400 pound cat.
99
00:05:45,803 --> 00:05:49,182
ROBYN: We are going to utilize
a plastic enrichment ball that
100
00:05:49,265 --> 00:05:52,310
is going to allow that natural
behavior of pushing with
101
00:05:52,393 --> 00:05:55,605
their noses and then
utilizing their paws as well.
102
00:05:56,189 --> 00:05:59,150
This looks a whole lot
like this joint here.
103
00:05:59,233 --> 00:06:03,196
They really enjoy fire hose,
so I was thinking that this
104
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,199
might be something that
they would actually be able to tug on.
105
00:06:06,282 --> 00:06:09,535
And I might be able to
make that look like a hoof.
106
00:06:09,869 --> 00:06:12,747
And then this big thigh piece,
that looks like this big piece
107
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:15,958
of really really
thick, heavy duty PVC.
108
00:06:16,042 --> 00:06:18,669
If I put it all together,
I can definitely make it
109
00:06:18,753 --> 00:06:20,171
kind of look like this.
110
00:06:20,254 --> 00:06:22,256
And then we're gonna use a
rod door type spring, it holds
111
00:06:22,340 --> 00:06:25,968
hundreds of pounds of weight,
which is exactly what a lion is.
112
00:06:27,637 --> 00:06:31,599
NARRATOR: After five weeks' har
work on her enrichment device.
113
00:06:31,933 --> 00:06:33,559
ROBYN: I kind of have all the
pieces here that hopefully,
114
00:06:33,643 --> 00:06:36,396
look like one big giraffe leg.
115
00:06:37,146 --> 00:06:39,440
NARRATOR: The full scale
build starts to resemble
116
00:06:39,524 --> 00:06:43,319
an actual giraffe leg.
117
00:06:44,112 --> 00:06:47,281
Time to make it
super realistic.
118
00:06:47,615 --> 00:06:49,200
OLGA: I like to start
a little bit darker.
119
00:06:49,283 --> 00:06:50,743
ROBYN: Okay.
120
00:06:50,827 --> 00:06:54,914
OLGA: And then just start adding
layers of color on top of it.
121
00:06:55,331 --> 00:06:56,833
ROBYN: We want it to be
something that the lions are
122
00:06:56,916 --> 00:06:59,001
gonna be interested to go
after, because it does look
123
00:06:59,085 --> 00:07:00,503
like a giraffe leg.
124
00:07:00,586 --> 00:07:02,296
But when the guests are going
by, we don't wanna make it
125
00:07:02,380 --> 00:07:04,590
completely stand out.
126
00:07:04,674 --> 00:07:07,593
We are almost gonna have
the leg blend into the rock.
127
00:07:07,927 --> 00:07:09,554
OLGA: What you've done
underneath is gonna look
128
00:07:09,637 --> 00:07:10,930
really nice.
129
00:07:11,013 --> 00:07:11,889
ROBYN: Yes.
130
00:07:11,973 --> 00:07:14,183
OLGA: Right?
ROBYN: Perfect.
131
00:07:14,267 --> 00:07:17,228
OLGA: I'm just adding a
little bit of black, you see?
132
00:07:17,311 --> 00:07:18,396
MAN: Oh, yeah.
133
00:07:18,479 --> 00:07:19,647
ROBYN: Yeah, it
completely changes it.
134
00:07:19,730 --> 00:07:20,982
(laughs)
135
00:07:21,065 --> 00:07:22,859
OLGA: Look at how
pretty that's looking.
136
00:07:22,942 --> 00:07:24,485
ROBYN: I really like that now.
137
00:07:24,569 --> 00:07:26,988
OLGA: Let this dry really well
and then do some more glazes.
138
00:07:27,071 --> 00:07:28,030
ROBYN: Yeah.
139
00:07:28,114 --> 00:07:29,532
OLGA: I think we're good.
140
00:07:29,615 --> 00:07:31,951
ROBYN: Once we are all done
here, we are going to hang it up
141
00:07:32,034 --> 00:07:36,038
on those rocks and I really
hope those lions engage with it.
142
00:07:41,085 --> 00:07:43,880
NARRATOR: At The Seas
with Nemo and friends.
143
00:07:43,963 --> 00:07:45,465
RACHEL: Everybody
had a bumpy ride.
144
00:07:45,548 --> 00:07:48,718
NARRATOR: Six green sea
turtles arrive from the wild
145
00:07:48,801 --> 00:07:51,053
in bad shape.
146
00:07:51,137 --> 00:07:53,222
DR JEN: Get some
debris out there.
147
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:55,975
What's happening, buddy?
148
00:07:57,101 --> 00:07:58,978
The first thing we can do is
take a blood sample, because
149
00:07:59,061 --> 00:08:01,981
I'm gonna need to know the
glucose, the potassium, and
150
00:08:02,064 --> 00:08:05,359
the calcium, to know if
we need to supplement that in the fluids.
151
00:08:06,152 --> 00:08:08,863
NARRATOR: These six turtles
came to Disney, while others
152
00:08:08,946 --> 00:08:11,491
went to different
facilities for help.
153
00:08:11,574 --> 00:08:14,535
RACHEL: The turtles came to us
as six of many small juvenile
154
00:08:14,619 --> 00:08:17,205
green sea turtles that have
washed ashore on the
155
00:08:17,288 --> 00:08:18,873
east coast of Florida.
156
00:08:18,956 --> 00:08:21,459
A lot of times some of
these smaller turtles will
157
00:08:21,542 --> 00:08:22,919
get pushed onto shore,
158
00:08:23,002 --> 00:08:25,296
when the storm activity
is pretty intense.
159
00:08:25,379 --> 00:08:27,298
Sometimes they're not
doing well and they strand,
160
00:08:27,381 --> 00:08:29,217
sometimes they're
cold and hypothermic.
161
00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:30,760
DR JEN: Hey, give it back.
162
00:08:30,843 --> 00:08:32,303
RACHEL: Sometimes it's because
they're lethargic and emaciated.
163
00:08:32,386 --> 00:08:34,222
DR JEN: You can't keep that.
164
00:08:34,305 --> 00:08:36,724
NARRATOR: The team wants to
help the turtles get back to
165
00:08:36,807 --> 00:08:39,435
the wild as soon as possible.
166
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:44,190
So Dr Jen needs to work out exactly what's
wrong with each one.
167
00:08:44,273 --> 00:08:46,108
WOMAN: 248.
DR JEN: 2.48.
168
00:08:46,192 --> 00:08:48,110
NARRATOR: They all
get a weight check.
169
00:08:48,194 --> 00:08:49,153
DR JEN: Beautiful eyes.
170
00:08:49,237 --> 00:08:50,446
NARRATOR: An exam.
171
00:08:50,530 --> 00:08:52,114
DR JEN: Beautiful oral cavity.
172
00:08:52,198 --> 00:08:53,950
NARRATOR: And a blood draw.
173
00:08:54,033 --> 00:08:55,368
DR JEN: Alright, big man,
go easy on me,
174
00:08:55,451 --> 00:08:57,078
'cause I'm tired, alright?
175
00:08:57,161 --> 00:08:58,829
You guys already
bled all those, right?
176
00:08:58,913 --> 00:08:59,705
WOMAN: We bled two.
177
00:08:59,789 --> 00:09:00,831
DR JEN: Wow.
178
00:09:00,915 --> 00:09:03,042
It's like a
turtle conveyor belt.
179
00:09:04,377 --> 00:09:05,378
What's happening, buddy?
180
00:09:05,461 --> 00:09:06,546
(laughs)
181
00:09:06,629 --> 00:09:08,714
He's looking around,
like, where am I?
182
00:09:08,798 --> 00:09:11,634
Well, you're at the most
magical place on earth.
183
00:09:11,717 --> 00:09:12,677
RACHEL: I know.
184
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,137
He doesn't know
yet, but he will.
185
00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:16,764
DR JEN: I like this guy.
RACHEL: I know.
186
00:09:16,847 --> 00:09:18,224
DR JEN: I like his
personality already.
187
00:09:18,307 --> 00:09:19,642
(laughs)
188
00:09:19,725 --> 00:09:21,227
Alright, there you go.
189
00:09:21,310 --> 00:09:23,479
RACHEL: Green turtles
are a threatened species here in Florida.
190
00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:26,440
We are in the business of
saving wildlife and caring for
191
00:09:26,524 --> 00:09:29,193
these animals and trying
to reverse their decline.
192
00:09:29,277 --> 00:09:31,862
The reason we're giving these
turtles numbers instead of
193
00:09:31,946 --> 00:09:34,740
names is because we are
actively trying not to get
194
00:09:34,824 --> 00:09:38,035
attached to them, because they
are wild animals and our sole
195
00:09:38,119 --> 00:09:40,037
focus here is to make
sure that these turtles are
196
00:09:40,121 --> 00:09:42,957
rehabilitated and
released back into the wild.
197
00:09:44,041 --> 00:09:46,586
DR JEN: This is number eight.
198
00:09:46,669 --> 00:09:49,547
This little guy seems
lethargic, for sure, usually
199
00:09:49,630 --> 00:09:52,300
healthy sea turtles are
gonna be moving around,
200
00:09:52,383 --> 00:09:54,552
they're gonna be moving their
flippers, moving their heads.
201
00:09:56,762 --> 00:10:01,100
He's got some barnacles and
some debris on the shells.
202
00:10:01,183 --> 00:10:03,019
He'll get lots of TLC.
203
00:10:03,102 --> 00:10:06,022
It looks like he may have had
an old wound right here,
204
00:10:06,105 --> 00:10:08,399
or maybe not so old.
205
00:10:08,482 --> 00:10:10,943
Got a little bit of
blood coming from there.
206
00:10:11,235 --> 00:10:14,614
He's had a rough go of
life so far, poor guy.
207
00:10:17,366 --> 00:10:23,789
This lesion, see how it's
kind of soft and pliable.
208
00:10:24,123 --> 00:10:26,584
I don't like it.
209
00:10:29,754 --> 00:10:31,213
Sorry, buddy, I know.
210
00:10:31,297 --> 00:10:34,175
We're just trying to make sure
that we take a good look at you.
211
00:10:34,592 --> 00:10:37,261
So right here, it looks like
he is developing a little bit
212
00:10:37,345 --> 00:10:40,765
of a shell infection and I can
get under here really easily
213
00:10:40,848 --> 00:10:44,060
with my instrument,
which is not normal.
214
00:10:44,143 --> 00:10:46,187
I'm worried about him.
215
00:10:50,608 --> 00:10:51,901
RACHEL: Hey, bud.
216
00:10:51,984 --> 00:10:53,361
You can get through this.
217
00:10:53,444 --> 00:10:55,696
NARRATOR: At The Seas, of
all the rescued turtles,
218
00:10:55,780 --> 00:10:59,408
number eight's shell infection
raises the most concern.
219
00:11:00,993 --> 00:11:02,953
DR JEN: He's gonna get
antibiotics, he's gonna get
220
00:11:03,037 --> 00:11:04,538
a lot of vitamins.
221
00:11:04,622 --> 00:11:06,165
But hopefully, he'll be
feeling better soon
222
00:11:06,248 --> 00:11:08,876
to go for a swim.
223
00:11:09,251 --> 00:11:11,545
RACHEL: He perked his head
up right when you said that.
224
00:11:11,629 --> 00:11:14,256
DR JEN: I think we'll
be able to help him.
225
00:11:15,091 --> 00:11:17,343
RACHEL: These guys really
are sentinels of the ocean.
226
00:11:17,426 --> 00:11:19,887
They tell us that the ocean's
healthy or not, they tell us
227
00:11:19,970 --> 00:11:23,182
so many things about the state
of biodiversity in the oceans
228
00:11:23,265 --> 00:11:26,894
and above all, they're
just extremely lovable.
229
00:11:26,977 --> 00:11:28,479
We're so excited to do
everything we can to
230
00:11:28,562 --> 00:11:30,856
help these guys.
231
00:11:32,566 --> 00:11:36,404
DR JEN: So, this must be 13.
232
00:11:36,487 --> 00:11:37,947
Holy moly.
233
00:11:38,030 --> 00:11:39,073
NIKKI: Yeah.
234
00:11:39,156 --> 00:11:40,908
DR JEN: That's a heavy turtle.
235
00:11:40,991 --> 00:11:43,327
Eyes are good.
236
00:11:43,411 --> 00:11:46,288
Shell doesn't look as
bad as the last turtle.
237
00:11:50,292 --> 00:11:53,462
Alright, let's do
the heart rate.
238
00:11:58,259 --> 00:12:03,389
(heartbeat)
239
00:12:03,472 --> 00:12:05,433
Nice heart rate.
240
00:12:05,516 --> 00:12:07,768
So even though he looks kind
of lethargic, his heart is
241
00:12:07,852 --> 00:12:10,187
beating at a normal rate.
242
00:12:10,271 --> 00:12:13,983
So yes for calcium, yes
for glucose, no potassium.
243
00:12:14,066 --> 00:12:15,484
NIKKI: Okay.
244
00:12:15,568 --> 00:12:17,027
DR JEN: Man, all these turtles
need glucose, they need to
245
00:12:17,111 --> 00:12:19,071
eat some foods.
246
00:12:20,573 --> 00:12:23,409
NARRATOR: Although number 13's
weight is healthy, his time
247
00:12:23,492 --> 00:12:26,746
stranded could mean
he's undernourished.
248
00:12:26,829 --> 00:12:29,290
RACHEL: It's always a toss-up
when these turtles wash up
249
00:12:29,373 --> 00:12:32,084
on shore what kind of
condition they're gonna be in.
250
00:12:32,168 --> 00:12:34,044
Some of them respond right
away to treatment,
251
00:12:34,128 --> 00:12:36,088
some of them, it takes a really
long time and we're in it
252
00:12:36,172 --> 00:12:39,091
for the long haul.
253
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:42,344
DR JEN: I'm starting to get pretty worried
about this turtle.
254
00:12:43,554 --> 00:12:46,599
We may need to
consider taking a CT scan.
255
00:12:47,349 --> 00:12:49,435
It can let us know a
little bit more about
256
00:12:49,518 --> 00:12:50,936
what they've been eating.
257
00:12:51,020 --> 00:12:52,897
We really need to get a better
look on the inside of this
258
00:12:52,980 --> 00:12:55,357
turtle and figure
out what's going on.
259
00:13:07,745 --> 00:13:09,205
NARRATOR: Out on the savanna.
260
00:13:09,288 --> 00:13:12,082
ROBYN: I'm not an engineer,
just trying whatever I can do.
261
00:13:12,166 --> 00:13:13,334
TECHNICIAN: Y'all come up
with some good ideas there
262
00:13:13,417 --> 00:13:14,794
once in a while.
263
00:13:14,877 --> 00:13:16,378
NARRATOR: Animal Kingdom
engineering services help
264
00:13:16,462 --> 00:13:19,673
Robyn install the
finished giraffe leg.
265
00:13:19,757 --> 00:13:22,593
ROBYN: We need it in there
and we need it in there solid.
266
00:13:24,053 --> 00:13:26,597
TECHNICIAN: This
one set almost flush.
267
00:13:27,014 --> 00:13:29,517
ROBYN: The safety concern is always the
strength of those cats.
268
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,018
They have a whole
ton of strength.
269
00:13:31,101 --> 00:13:34,772
So we need to make sure that
they can't break any pieces off.
270
00:13:35,731 --> 00:13:37,817
TECHNICIAN: Can we move this
whole thing up a little bit?
271
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:39,693
ROBYN: We wanna make
sure it's detachable.
272
00:13:39,777 --> 00:13:41,487
That's not gonna be a
permanent fixture,
273
00:13:41,570 --> 00:13:43,864
but every time we put it out,
it's gonna be interesting and
274
00:13:43,948 --> 00:13:46,200
exciting for these guys.
275
00:13:46,283 --> 00:13:49,161
Yeah, that looks good to me.
276
00:13:49,578 --> 00:13:52,832
Just like we need to stay
active and stay physically fit,
277
00:13:52,915 --> 00:13:54,875
we need to get on that treadmill
every once in a while,
278
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:57,086
use those weight machines,
we need to offer
279
00:13:57,169 --> 00:14:00,005
that same
opportunity to these lions.
280
00:14:00,089 --> 00:14:02,758
I am happy with the build, how
it looks, now it's up to the
281
00:14:02,842 --> 00:14:06,095
lions to let us know if
I did it right or not.
282
00:14:07,763 --> 00:14:10,474
NARRATOR: It's show time.
283
00:14:13,894 --> 00:14:15,563
(growling)
284
00:14:16,105 --> 00:14:19,358
(roaring)
285
00:14:19,650 --> 00:14:21,735
ROBYN: Kinsey looks like she
is gonna be the first one to
286
00:14:21,819 --> 00:14:24,363
come over and investigate.
287
00:14:26,866 --> 00:14:30,911
And then there comes
Dakari, always very slowly.
288
00:14:37,209 --> 00:14:40,963
I put a lot of work, a lot of hours, a lot
of thought into this,
289
00:14:41,046 --> 00:14:44,341
so I am gonna be pretty heartbroken if
it doesn't work out.
290
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:53,601
♪ ♪
291
00:15:00,274 --> 00:15:02,151
(roaring)
292
00:15:02,234 --> 00:15:04,069
That piece of fire hose is
working just the way
293
00:15:04,153 --> 00:15:05,821
it was supposed to.
294
00:15:05,905 --> 00:15:08,991
She's able to grab it with
her teeth and tug on it.
295
00:15:17,917 --> 00:15:21,128
Kinsey is into that enrichment
ball and that is just what we
296
00:15:21,211 --> 00:15:24,173
are looking for.
297
00:15:24,798 --> 00:15:28,260
I'm so excited about it.
298
00:15:28,677 --> 00:15:32,723
I would call the giraffe leg
enrichment a huge success.
299
00:15:32,973 --> 00:15:36,143
I think it's gonna be a huge
benefit in the long run and
300
00:15:36,226 --> 00:15:39,355
it's thanks to a lot of hard
work and a lot of teamwork
301
00:15:39,438 --> 00:15:42,024
to get us here.
302
00:15:42,650 --> 00:15:44,985
(roaring)
303
00:15:54,244 --> 00:15:56,872
VET ASSISTANT: Alright.
304
00:15:58,415 --> 00:16:00,209
NIKKI: Feistiest
and the biggest.
305
00:16:00,292 --> 00:16:01,418
(laughs)
306
00:16:01,502 --> 00:16:02,920
Put some extra wrap on him.
307
00:16:03,003 --> 00:16:05,005
NARRATOR: At the Animal
Kingdom vet hospital,
308
00:16:05,089 --> 00:16:09,176
rescue turtle 13 straps
in for a CT scan.
309
00:16:09,259 --> 00:16:11,428
DR JEN: We need to get a
better look inside his body.
310
00:16:11,512 --> 00:16:14,473
He's showing us some signs
that could be consistent with
311
00:16:14,556 --> 00:16:17,559
a foreign object
in his intestines.
312
00:16:17,643 --> 00:16:20,187
In previous cases of stranded
sea turtles, we've found
313
00:16:20,270 --> 00:16:24,108
things like fish
hooks and plastic.
314
00:16:27,611 --> 00:16:30,531
VET ASSISTANT:
Okay, there we go.
315
00:16:30,614 --> 00:16:31,532
Have you guys got a second?
316
00:16:31,615 --> 00:16:32,950
DR JEN: Yeah.
317
00:16:33,033 --> 00:16:36,453
VET ASSISTANT: This is 752.
DR JEN: 752, number 13.
318
00:16:36,537 --> 00:16:37,621
VET ASSISTANT: There's
something in there.
319
00:16:37,705 --> 00:16:40,541
DR JEN: Oh, yes,
some mineral, hmm.
320
00:16:40,624 --> 00:16:43,585
What has he been
eating out there?
321
00:16:43,669 --> 00:16:45,754
We're looking at this
bright white color,
322
00:16:45,838 --> 00:16:47,881
which tends to be mineral.
323
00:16:47,965 --> 00:16:50,676
Looks like it's in his GI tract,
we can tell what it is.
324
00:16:50,759 --> 00:16:53,679
Could be foreign material,
something the turtle ingested
325
00:16:53,762 --> 00:16:55,472
when he was in the wild.
326
00:16:55,556 --> 00:16:59,476
Could be pollution
from the oceans.
327
00:17:04,189 --> 00:17:07,568
NARRATOR: There may be as many
as 5.25 trillion pieces of
328
00:17:07,651 --> 00:17:10,946
plastic debris in
oceans around the world.
329
00:17:12,364 --> 00:17:16,744
All potentially
fatal to sea turtles.
330
00:17:16,827 --> 00:17:20,622
COURTNEY: We have moon jellyfish
over on this side here.
331
00:17:21,373 --> 00:17:23,834
Sea turtles love to eat these
jellyfish, they're one of
332
00:17:23,917 --> 00:17:27,129
their favorite food types
and since they don't swim away
333
00:17:27,212 --> 00:17:30,257
from them, they're a
great prey item for them.
334
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:33,969
NARRATOR: To the eyes of a
turtle, plastic bags look
335
00:17:34,053 --> 00:17:36,764
just like their favorite snack.
336
00:17:36,847 --> 00:17:38,307
COURTNEY: It's very confusing,
especially early in the
337
00:17:38,390 --> 00:17:40,768
morning, late at night, if
the lighting's not great.
338
00:17:40,851 --> 00:17:42,686
So that can get lodged in
their stomachs, can make them
339
00:17:42,770 --> 00:17:46,065
really sick, they can get
entangled and wind up
340
00:17:46,148 --> 00:17:48,734
getting really hurt.
341
00:17:53,405 --> 00:17:55,199
DR JEN: We'll have to keep a
close eye and make sure that
342
00:17:55,282 --> 00:17:57,785
he's able to pass that.
343
00:17:57,868 --> 00:18:00,913
We'll have to see
how he's defecating.
344
00:18:00,996 --> 00:18:02,081
His lungs look good though.
345
00:18:02,164 --> 00:18:03,999
VET ASSISTANT: Yeah, lungs
do look great.
346
00:18:05,209 --> 00:18:06,585
NIKKI: Oh, aye, aye.
347
00:18:06,668 --> 00:18:08,212
VET ASSISTANT: Head
facing this way.
348
00:18:08,295 --> 00:18:10,255
NARRATOR: Turtle number eight
with the shell infection...
349
00:18:10,339 --> 00:18:12,007
VET ASSISTANT: See how he
does with the vibration.
350
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:14,885
NARRATOR: Is up
next for a CT scan.
351
00:18:15,260 --> 00:18:16,637
DR JEN: Oh, wow.
352
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,849
You can really see the fracture
that he has on his shell,
353
00:18:20,933 --> 00:18:23,685
pretty much spanning the full
length of that left side.
354
00:18:23,769 --> 00:18:26,522
So it's pretty significant
damage there, I wonder if
355
00:18:26,605 --> 00:18:29,650
maybe he got hit by a boat
when he was in the wild.
356
00:18:29,733 --> 00:18:33,237
What we can see from the
outside were just some shell
357
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,948
lesions that went into the
dermal bone, but we certainly
358
00:18:36,031 --> 00:18:39,618
could not
appreciate that fracture.
359
00:18:40,285 --> 00:18:42,663
He was a very lucky turtle and
he's very lucky to be here at
360
00:18:42,746 --> 00:18:44,164
Disney now.
361
00:18:44,248 --> 00:18:46,125
DR RYAN: This turtle
can't catch a break.
362
00:18:46,208 --> 00:18:48,919
DR JEN: He's had a rough
go of it so far, it seems.
363
00:18:49,002 --> 00:18:51,046
This little guy is
looking way worse than
364
00:18:51,130 --> 00:18:52,840
the other turtles right now.
365
00:18:52,923 --> 00:18:54,633
We'll do our best, but
there is no guarantee,
366
00:18:54,716 --> 00:18:57,427
especially with how sick
turtle number eight is.
367
00:19:04,726 --> 00:19:07,104
NARRATOR: Meet Mylo.
368
00:19:07,187 --> 00:19:10,315
ROBYN: Hi, buddy,
how's it going?
369
00:19:11,024 --> 00:19:14,903
NARRATOR: A rambunctious
little rhino.
370
00:19:15,195 --> 00:19:18,991
ROBYN: Mylo is wiggling around
to see if I have any food.
371
00:19:19,074 --> 00:19:20,576
(laughs)
372
00:19:20,659 --> 00:19:25,330
Very typical baby, he wants to
taste test my hands, don't ya?
373
00:19:27,875 --> 00:19:31,336
NARRATOR: Mylo is the
first calf of mom, Jao.
374
00:19:32,337 --> 00:19:34,923
ROBYN: Every time I look at
Mylo, it just brings so much
375
00:19:35,132 --> 00:19:36,592
joy to my heart.
376
00:19:36,675 --> 00:19:40,429
NARRATOR: The miracle baby
no one thought they'd see.
377
00:19:40,929 --> 00:19:44,266
ROBYN: We found out that
Jao was not cycling properly.
378
00:19:44,349 --> 00:19:46,435
DR MANDY:
Alright, we're going in.
379
00:19:46,518 --> 00:19:47,978
ROBYN: It's gonna be very
difficult for her to get
380
00:19:48,061 --> 00:19:49,771
pregnant on her own.
381
00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:52,441
DR MANDY: Nothing
significant on Jao's ovary.
382
00:19:52,524 --> 00:19:55,819
ROBYN: So she went through
a hormone therapy regimen.
383
00:19:55,903 --> 00:19:58,947
And now we have Mylo.
384
00:20:00,282 --> 00:20:04,411
Mylo is always a handful and
he's always got a lot going on.
385
00:20:04,494 --> 00:20:06,914
He's gonna be all
over the place.
386
00:20:06,997 --> 00:20:11,043
He gets wild, he gets crazy,
he gets very very adventurous.
387
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,754
NARRATOR: Now, he's seven
months old and nearly
388
00:20:13,837 --> 00:20:15,839
three feet tall.
389
00:20:15,923 --> 00:20:19,509
It's time Mylo meets his dad,
Dugan, out on the savanna.
390
00:20:19,927 --> 00:20:22,221
ROBYN: Dugan has not had
a chance to meet Mylo.
391
00:20:22,304 --> 00:20:24,765
We kind of saved
this piece for last.
392
00:20:24,848 --> 00:20:28,560
So our big goal with that is gonna be some
more socialization.
393
00:20:28,936 --> 00:20:31,980
If Jao and Mylo can get out
there, meet Dugan, that's
394
00:20:32,064 --> 00:20:35,984
better dynamics as a herd and
very natural for these guys.
395
00:20:36,693 --> 00:20:39,988
NARRATOR: But first, Mylo
needs some medical attention.
396
00:20:40,072 --> 00:20:42,699
ROBYN: A few weeks ago, we
noticed that Mylo has a crack
397
00:20:42,783 --> 00:20:45,452
right there on
his primary horn.
398
00:20:46,620 --> 00:20:49,206
It doesn't go down
terribly deep, but it's odd.
399
00:20:49,289 --> 00:20:51,208
DR NATI: We'll just need to
watch this as it grows out,
400
00:20:51,291 --> 00:20:54,294
'cause he does have this
line that looks like it's a
401
00:20:54,378 --> 00:20:56,004
continuation of the crack.
402
00:20:56,088 --> 00:20:57,965
ROBYN: Uh, huh.
403
00:20:58,257 --> 00:21:01,218
Between him sparring with
all of his toys, with his mom,
404
00:21:01,301 --> 00:21:04,304
probably something over time
with him just learning to
405
00:21:04,388 --> 00:21:06,682
grow up and be a
big boy rhino.
406
00:21:08,517 --> 00:21:13,105
NARRATOR: Mylo receives
a visit from Dr Ryan.
407
00:21:13,188 --> 00:21:15,148
DR RYAN: Oh, that's
a good spot, huh?
408
00:21:15,232 --> 00:21:16,900
You guys gonna pay me
to do this all day?
409
00:21:16,984 --> 00:21:19,152
I'm good.
410
00:21:19,236 --> 00:21:22,531
I don't think that crack goes
into the body of the horn.
411
00:21:22,614 --> 00:21:25,242
But with that said, it could
break down further,
412
00:21:25,325 --> 00:21:28,370
because of the instability
right there at the tip.
413
00:21:29,079 --> 00:21:30,914
Rhinos horns are
made of keratin.
414
00:21:30,998 --> 00:21:32,874
This is like the tip
of your fingernail.
415
00:21:32,958 --> 00:21:35,961
It's split at the tip, but it
doesn't hurt, or really have
416
00:21:36,044 --> 00:21:37,587
much sensation.
417
00:21:37,671 --> 00:21:40,340
So if we remove that tip of
the horn, the base is still
418
00:21:40,424 --> 00:21:42,509
stable and hopefully,
it'll keep that crack
419
00:21:42,592 --> 00:21:45,053
from getting any worse.
420
00:21:45,137 --> 00:21:47,681
There's no reason that he
won't grow a nice normal
421
00:21:47,764 --> 00:21:50,851
looking pointy rhino horn.
422
00:21:50,934 --> 00:21:52,269
ROBYN: Do you want
the whole thing off?
423
00:21:52,352 --> 00:21:53,812
DR RYAN: I think I
do it from the notch.
424
00:21:53,895 --> 00:21:54,896
ROBYN: Okay, from the notch.
425
00:21:54,980 --> 00:21:56,148
DR RYAN: Yeah.
ROBYN: Okay.
426
00:21:56,231 --> 00:21:57,482
DR RYAN: So there's no
possibility he can get
427
00:21:57,566 --> 00:21:59,318
something jammed in there.
428
00:21:59,401 --> 00:22:02,112
Poor little guy.
429
00:22:02,195 --> 00:22:03,405
So rough.
430
00:22:03,488 --> 00:22:05,032
ROBYN: What a good patient.
431
00:22:05,115 --> 00:22:07,284
DR RYAN: Is that nice?
432
00:22:07,617 --> 00:22:10,162
ROBYN: We are so excited to
release him out on the savanna
433
00:22:10,245 --> 00:22:13,749
with his dad, but we really
need to care of this horn first.
434
00:22:26,970 --> 00:22:28,972
NIKKI: Alright,
let's see how this goes.
435
00:22:29,348 --> 00:22:30,932
I know you want it, come on.
436
00:22:31,016 --> 00:22:33,769
NARRATOR: At The Seas, turtle
number eight gets antibiotics
437
00:22:33,852 --> 00:22:37,272
for his shell wound,
mixed into his food.
438
00:22:38,065 --> 00:22:40,400
DR JEN: These sea turtles are
extremely fragile, especially
439
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:43,403
in the immediate
post rescue period.
440
00:22:43,487 --> 00:22:45,947
So we're keeping a
really close eye on them.
441
00:22:46,031 --> 00:22:48,533
Especially turtle number
eight, because of how poor
442
00:22:48,617 --> 00:22:49,868
he's looking.
443
00:22:49,951 --> 00:22:51,036
He's my favorite turtle.
444
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,621
We always root
for the underdog.
445
00:22:52,704 --> 00:22:55,374
That's number eight to a T.
446
00:23:02,339 --> 00:23:04,925
What ya say, little man?
447
00:23:06,259 --> 00:23:09,763
He has these infected areas of
his shell, probably from when
448
00:23:09,888 --> 00:23:13,183
the boat hit him, but the
infection seems to be going
449
00:23:13,266 --> 00:23:14,810
down, so that's good.
450
00:23:14,893 --> 00:23:17,229
His activity level's going up
and so all signs are pointing
451
00:23:17,312 --> 00:23:20,232
positive, right, buddy?
452
00:23:20,315 --> 00:23:22,150
You starting to feel better?
453
00:23:22,234 --> 00:23:24,778
Hopefully, soon enough, you'll
go back to the ocean, buddy.
454
00:23:26,321 --> 00:23:27,280
(laughs)
455
00:23:27,364 --> 00:23:29,574
He's like, "Stop
touching my nose."
456
00:23:32,577 --> 00:23:36,081
NARRATOR: Next, the turtle
that may have ingested trash.
457
00:23:36,164 --> 00:23:38,625
DR JEN: Number 13?
NIKKI: Yeah.
458
00:23:40,001 --> 00:23:42,629
Good news for him,
fecals every day,
459
00:23:42,712 --> 00:23:44,131
massive fecals last night.
460
00:23:44,214 --> 00:23:45,382
DR JEN: Big poops?
NIKKI: Uh-huh.
461
00:23:45,465 --> 00:23:47,175
DR JEN: Big poops.
NIKKI: Lots of big poops.
462
00:23:47,259 --> 00:23:48,885
DR JEN: That's great, I mean,
that's like what we wanna see,
463
00:23:48,969 --> 00:23:52,305
good fecal production, tells
us his GI's working well.
464
00:23:52,389 --> 00:23:55,809
NIKKI: This guy is on
the road to going home.
465
00:23:56,143 --> 00:23:58,603
DR JEN: Tell me about
buoyancy, appetite.
466
00:23:58,687 --> 00:24:00,605
NIKKI: Buoyancy, no issues.
467
00:24:00,689 --> 00:24:03,275
Appetite, when we walk up to
the tub, he's ready to eat.
468
00:24:03,358 --> 00:24:04,693
He's very alert.
469
00:24:04,776 --> 00:24:06,236
DR JEN: Perfect,
yeah that looks good.
470
00:24:06,319 --> 00:24:09,656
He looks more like a healthy
sea turtle should look.
471
00:24:09,739 --> 00:24:14,035
I have a sneaking suspicion
that this turtle may be the
472
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,246
first one to be released.
473
00:24:16,329 --> 00:24:20,083
NARRATOR: An ocean return could
be right around the corner.
474
00:24:20,167 --> 00:24:21,293
DR JEN: He's peeing on you.
475
00:24:21,376 --> 00:24:22,586
(laughs)
476
00:24:22,669 --> 00:24:24,754
NIKKI: Every day, every day.
477
00:24:30,886 --> 00:24:32,721
WOMAN: Look, cuteness.
478
00:24:32,804 --> 00:24:35,390
NARRATOR: Over 800 babies
have been born at Disney's
479
00:24:35,474 --> 00:24:39,019
Animal Kingdom in the
past five years.
480
00:24:39,895 --> 00:24:41,271
WOMAN: Hi, sleepy wee one.
481
00:24:41,354 --> 00:24:42,230
I love you.
482
00:24:42,314 --> 00:24:44,232
I love you so much.
483
00:24:45,525 --> 00:24:48,320
NARRATOR: These two dashing
Hartmann's Mountain zebras are
484
00:24:48,403 --> 00:24:51,406
the first foals of mom, Heidi.
485
00:24:52,199 --> 00:24:55,869
Now, she expects a
third stripy bundle of joy.
486
00:24:56,912 --> 00:24:59,539
MEAGHAN: We put hay for zebra
to have something to graze on
487
00:24:59,623 --> 00:25:02,667
when the grass isn't long.
488
00:25:04,044 --> 00:25:08,256
We love to give our expectant
moms a little bit of extra TLC.
489
00:25:08,340 --> 00:25:11,259
We sometimes talk to their
belly, talk to the foal and
490
00:25:11,343 --> 00:25:14,346
try to get to know it
before they're born.
491
00:25:16,389 --> 00:25:18,475
Heidi, come on.
492
00:25:18,892 --> 00:25:20,393
Hartmann's Mountain zebra
populations are currently
493
00:25:20,477 --> 00:25:23,772
listed as vulnerable and that's
why every baby counts right now.
494
00:25:23,855 --> 00:25:26,107
Heidi's pregnant,
she's doing her part.
495
00:25:26,191 --> 00:25:28,068
I have definitely fallen
in love with Heidi,
496
00:25:28,151 --> 00:25:30,695
she's always doing
something interesting.
497
00:25:31,863 --> 00:25:33,907
She's a great mother.
498
00:25:33,990 --> 00:25:38,203
But she also won't hesitate to
put the foals in their place.
499
00:25:40,997 --> 00:25:44,251
When she first got out here,
she was pretty timid and
500
00:25:44,334 --> 00:25:48,088
kind of insecure, but she's
kind of become the queen.
501
00:25:57,097 --> 00:25:59,724
WOMAN: She'll have to be under
anesthesia the whole time...
502
00:25:59,808 --> 00:26:02,978
NARRATOR: Backstage,
Heidi arrives for a checkup.
503
00:26:04,354 --> 00:26:05,855
WOMAN: Good girl.
504
00:26:05,939 --> 00:26:07,482
MEAGHAN: Heidi is due in about
12 weeks, so she's entering
505
00:26:07,566 --> 00:26:09,359
her last trimester.
506
00:26:09,442 --> 00:26:11,486
Doing an overall health check.
507
00:26:11,570 --> 00:26:13,238
It's really important to make
sure that Heidi is up to date
508
00:26:13,321 --> 00:26:16,032
on her vaccines, that her
hooves are in good shape.
509
00:26:16,116 --> 00:26:17,158
DR. BETSY: There we go.
510
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:18,743
She's down.
511
00:26:23,790 --> 00:26:26,167
Her respiratory rate is 12.
512
00:26:26,251 --> 00:26:29,087
Okay.
513
00:26:29,170 --> 00:26:32,591
We're gonna get a
look at her fetus.
514
00:26:32,674 --> 00:26:35,093
I'm gonna be doing an
ultrasound check of her
515
00:26:35,176 --> 00:26:37,304
abdomen, making sure that the
baby's healthy and that the
516
00:26:37,387 --> 00:26:40,098
pregnancy is going well.
517
00:26:41,141 --> 00:26:42,767
I see a baby.
518
00:26:42,851 --> 00:26:44,894
WOMAN: Wow.
519
00:26:44,978 --> 00:26:48,607
DR. BETSY: We have good fetal movement, so
I can see limbs moving.
520
00:26:48,690 --> 00:26:51,484
I can see the heart beating.
521
00:26:51,568 --> 00:26:54,195
The baby's quite large at this
point, so I just catch kind of
522
00:26:54,279 --> 00:26:57,198
glimpses at different windows.
523
00:26:58,408 --> 00:27:00,535
MEAGHAN: This is exciting.
524
00:27:00,619 --> 00:27:02,621
It's like a little
seahorse in there.
525
00:27:02,704 --> 00:27:04,914
WOMAN: A sea horse,
it's a real horse.
526
00:27:04,998 --> 00:27:06,249
MEAGHAN: It's a real horse.
527
00:27:06,333 --> 00:27:07,792
(laughs)
528
00:27:07,876 --> 00:27:10,045
DR. BETSY: Heidi's ultrasound
today went really well,
529
00:27:10,128 --> 00:27:12,088
I was really happy with
what I was seeing.
530
00:27:12,172 --> 00:27:14,424
I'll get out of your way.
531
00:27:17,177 --> 00:27:19,471
That was beautiful.
532
00:27:20,889 --> 00:27:23,058
She stood nicely.
533
00:27:23,141 --> 00:27:25,018
She's done really well
as a mom in the past.
534
00:27:25,101 --> 00:27:27,771
So now we're just gonna keep a
close eye on her and wait for
535
00:27:27,854 --> 00:27:30,190
the baby to be born.
536
00:27:33,485 --> 00:27:35,987
NARRATOR: Over at
the rhino barn.
537
00:27:36,613 --> 00:27:37,822
KATIE: Mylo.
538
00:27:37,906 --> 00:27:39,366
It's time, bud.
539
00:27:39,449 --> 00:27:41,159
ROBYN: It is super early in
the morning, but it's probably
540
00:27:41,242 --> 00:27:44,329
the best time to start working
on taking off that tip of
541
00:27:44,412 --> 00:27:45,747
Mylo's horn.
542
00:27:45,830 --> 00:27:48,708
Alright, we're just
gonna hope for the best.
543
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,461
White rhinos in particular
react really really strongly
544
00:27:51,544 --> 00:27:53,463
to tactile stimulation.
545
00:27:53,546 --> 00:27:56,716
So these guys are a herd
group, they're gonna be very
546
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,593
close together and
touching each other.
547
00:27:58,677 --> 00:28:01,638
So we're gonna touch Mylo to
make sure that he feels safe,
548
00:28:01,721 --> 00:28:04,391
secure and comfortable
while we do this procedure.
549
00:28:05,058 --> 00:28:06,476
KATIE: Look at you.
550
00:28:06,559 --> 00:28:08,937
I love you.
551
00:28:15,944 --> 00:28:18,571
What a workout.
552
00:28:19,447 --> 00:28:21,533
ROBYN: Shouldn't hurt him at
all, this part is the only
553
00:28:21,616 --> 00:28:24,577
part that has any blood supply
to it, the rest of it's just
554
00:28:24,661 --> 00:28:26,329
like the end of
your fingernails.
555
00:28:26,413 --> 00:28:29,916
KATIE: He's gonna have
a very awkward haircut at the end of this,
556
00:28:29,999 --> 00:28:32,127
but what little boy
hasn't had an awkward haircut
557
00:28:32,210 --> 00:28:34,379
once in their life.
558
00:28:37,340 --> 00:28:38,550
Alright, you ready?
559
00:28:38,633 --> 00:28:40,802
ROBYN: Yeah.
560
00:28:41,678 --> 00:28:44,806
NARRATOR: Mylo's horn is made
of keratin, the same protein
561
00:28:44,889 --> 00:28:48,101
that makes up
human hair and nails.
562
00:28:48,184 --> 00:28:50,019
It's tough stuff.
563
00:28:50,103 --> 00:28:51,855
ROBYN: Wanna switch?
564
00:28:51,938 --> 00:28:53,940
KATIE: Yes.
565
00:28:58,653 --> 00:29:01,531
Doing great, little boy.
566
00:29:05,660 --> 00:29:07,579
I'm sorry, my hair
tickled your head.
567
00:29:07,662 --> 00:29:11,207
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
568
00:29:11,833 --> 00:29:14,127
Come here, Mylo.
569
00:29:14,210 --> 00:29:15,879
I'm just gonna give
him a couple of seconds.
570
00:29:15,962 --> 00:29:17,338
This is hard work.
571
00:29:17,422 --> 00:29:19,299
ROBYN: This is a huge step
for Mylo, it's his first big
572
00:29:19,382 --> 00:29:21,092
medical procedure.
573
00:29:21,176 --> 00:29:23,928
Most of our procedures here
at Disney are voluntary,
574
00:29:24,012 --> 00:29:26,181
so if Mylo wants to
walk away from us,
575
00:29:26,264 --> 00:29:28,975
he is more than welcome to.
576
00:29:29,893 --> 00:29:32,187
KATIE: Oh, good boy.
577
00:29:32,270 --> 00:29:33,354
There you go.
578
00:29:33,438 --> 00:29:35,023
You know how I can
tell he's happy?
579
00:29:35,106 --> 00:29:36,399
He does a tail curl.
580
00:29:36,483 --> 00:29:37,484
ROBYN: Oh, good.
581
00:29:37,567 --> 00:29:38,818
Sign of a happy rhino.
582
00:29:38,902 --> 00:29:40,403
NARRATOR: Change of plans.
583
00:29:40,487 --> 00:29:42,405
One keeper saws.
584
00:29:42,489 --> 00:29:45,867
The other scrubs.
585
00:29:49,579 --> 00:29:51,456
ROBYN: I don't know if I'm
more tired from rubbing him or
586
00:29:51,539 --> 00:29:53,374
sawing him.
587
00:29:53,458 --> 00:29:57,712
KATIE: You're really making
us work for it today, huh?
588
00:29:59,130 --> 00:30:01,257
Yeah, good boy.
589
00:30:01,341 --> 00:30:02,342
ROBYN: Okay, we got a piece.
590
00:30:02,425 --> 00:30:03,635
KATIE: Yay.
591
00:30:03,718 --> 00:30:05,470
(laughs)
592
00:30:05,553 --> 00:30:08,097
Alright, buddy,
we're almost done.
593
00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:13,311
(gasps)
594
00:30:13,394 --> 00:30:14,979
Yay!
595
00:30:15,063 --> 00:30:16,356
ROBYN: Good job.
596
00:30:16,439 --> 00:30:17,565
KATIE: Look at you, bud.
597
00:30:17,649 --> 00:30:18,858
ROBYN: That was pretty good.
598
00:30:18,942 --> 00:30:21,611
KATIE: Yeah.
You the man.
599
00:30:21,694 --> 00:30:23,947
ROBYN: The best boy.
600
00:30:24,030 --> 00:30:26,241
Just like our fingernails,
that horn's gonna keep growing
601
00:30:26,324 --> 00:30:28,576
out and get back
to a nice big size.
602
00:30:28,660 --> 00:30:31,538
That should not
affect him whatsoever.
603
00:30:32,247 --> 00:30:35,875
NARRATOR: Horn haircut complete
Mylo can charge again.
604
00:30:36,668 --> 00:30:39,838
Time to meet his dad,
Dugan, face to face.
605
00:30:40,421 --> 00:30:42,006
KATIE: Oh, my gosh.
606
00:30:42,090 --> 00:30:42,966
Whew.
607
00:30:43,049 --> 00:30:44,092
Robyn and I are going home.
608
00:30:44,175 --> 00:30:45,844
ROBYN: This ground
is nice and cold.
609
00:30:45,927 --> 00:30:47,387
KATIE: Oh.
610
00:30:47,470 --> 00:30:48,930
ROBYN: No, seriously, though.
611
00:30:49,013 --> 00:30:50,306
KATIE: Yeah, okay.
612
00:30:50,390 --> 00:30:51,724
(laughs)
613
00:30:51,808 --> 00:30:53,351
This is nice.
614
00:30:58,731 --> 00:31:01,067
KAREN: What is my
best game plan here?
615
00:31:01,150 --> 00:31:03,236
NARRATOR: Backstage at
The Seas, three turtles
616
00:31:03,319 --> 00:31:05,947
prepare to go home.
617
00:31:06,364 --> 00:31:07,866
RACHEL: Our team has
spent the last eight weeks
618
00:31:07,949 --> 00:31:09,450
rehabilitating these turtles.
619
00:31:09,534 --> 00:31:12,203
They're extremely feisty,
they're very very active.
620
00:31:12,287 --> 00:31:14,581
Those are telltale signs that
we look for to know that
621
00:31:14,664 --> 00:31:16,457
they are releasable.
622
00:31:16,541 --> 00:31:17,792
KEEPER: There you go.
623
00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:19,252
MAN: Great.
624
00:31:20,336 --> 00:31:23,256
NARRATOR: Turtle eight
isn't quite ready yet,
625
00:31:23,339 --> 00:31:26,217
but his friends head
for the Atlantic Coast,
626
00:31:26,301 --> 00:31:29,095
not far from where
they were stranded.
627
00:31:30,013 --> 00:31:31,890
RACHEL: We're doing our best
to put them back into the same
628
00:31:31,973 --> 00:31:35,518
location where we found
them, to ensure their success.
629
00:31:36,769 --> 00:31:38,730
NARRATOR: Now
with the all clear.
630
00:31:38,813 --> 00:31:40,148
KEEPER: Here we go.
631
00:31:40,231 --> 00:31:42,817
NARRATOR: Turtle 13
prepares for his big moment.
632
00:31:44,652 --> 00:31:45,904
LAURA: He's so ready.
633
00:31:45,987 --> 00:31:47,030
KEEPER: We're going.
634
00:31:47,113 --> 00:31:48,239
Finally.
635
00:31:48,323 --> 00:31:51,117
Out to the big ocean.
636
00:31:56,414 --> 00:31:58,541
RACHEL: This turtle is
incredibly excited,
637
00:31:58,625 --> 00:32:01,628
we see lots of flapping
action going on.
638
00:32:06,299 --> 00:32:08,509
KEEPER: Bye!
639
00:32:11,638 --> 00:32:14,307
Okay, we're going,
we're going, we're going.
640
00:32:16,976 --> 00:32:20,104
I'm missing my friends.
641
00:32:22,357 --> 00:32:25,443
Go, go, go, go, go.
642
00:32:25,526 --> 00:32:26,945
Oh.
643
00:32:27,028 --> 00:32:28,529
RACHEL: We're gently setting
these turtles in the water,
644
00:32:28,613 --> 00:32:31,157
but these are quick animals,
they are just zooming off and
645
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,826
taking off into the ocean.
646
00:32:33,910 --> 00:32:36,496
KEEPER: Oh, a
beautiful breath.
647
00:32:37,872 --> 00:32:40,541
One more to go.
648
00:32:41,876 --> 00:32:43,044
It's time.
649
00:32:43,127 --> 00:32:45,380
MAN: Hang on tight,
hang on tight.
650
00:32:45,463 --> 00:32:47,590
(laughs)
651
00:32:47,674 --> 00:32:49,801
RACHEL: This is the
calmest one today.
652
00:32:49,884 --> 00:32:52,845
She's like, "I'm ready, but I'm not
gonna make a big deal about it."
653
00:32:52,929 --> 00:32:55,723
(laughs)
654
00:32:56,474 --> 00:32:58,309
Oh, here we go.
655
00:32:58,393 --> 00:33:00,436
You go seein' that water.
656
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,147
(laughs)
657
00:33:03,648 --> 00:33:05,692
Alright, be good now.
658
00:33:06,067 --> 00:33:08,194
Don't get into trouble,
because we love you,
659
00:33:08,277 --> 00:33:10,488
but we don't want
you to come back.
660
00:33:18,037 --> 00:33:19,872
(laughs)
661
00:33:28,464 --> 00:33:35,096
♪ ♪
662
00:33:36,723 --> 00:33:39,934
ERICA: I'm very excited today,
because it's Grace's third
663
00:33:40,018 --> 00:33:43,604
birthday and we made some
really fun enrichment for her
664
00:33:43,688 --> 00:33:45,732
and her family.
665
00:33:45,815 --> 00:33:48,317
When Grace was first born,
she wasn't hitting all of her
666
00:33:48,401 --> 00:33:51,821
milestones that we would
normally see, so we decided to
667
00:33:51,904 --> 00:33:55,116
start doing some
therapy exercises with her.
668
00:33:55,199 --> 00:33:56,868
KEEPER: Do you mind seeing if
she can climb all the way up
669
00:33:56,951 --> 00:33:58,077
to that bar?
670
00:33:58,161 --> 00:33:59,620
Yes.
671
00:33:59,704 --> 00:34:02,123
She's showing some delays with
her grasp on both her upper
672
00:34:02,206 --> 00:34:04,042
and her lower extremity.
673
00:34:04,125 --> 00:34:06,544
ERICA: We've been doing a
lot of work with her the past
674
00:34:06,627 --> 00:34:10,506
couple of years and she's
definitely matured and grown.
675
00:34:11,299 --> 00:34:15,219
I'm so proud of her and all
the accomplishments that
676
00:34:15,303 --> 00:34:19,057
she's made in just a
short period of time.
677
00:34:19,140 --> 00:34:23,436
So, we are doing a rainbow
themed party for her and
678
00:34:23,519 --> 00:34:26,522
we decided to make
her an ice cake.
679
00:34:26,939 --> 00:34:29,442
One of the test for Grace is
gonna be able to pick up those
680
00:34:29,525 --> 00:34:32,028
small fruits and flowers that
we put on the cake for her and
681
00:34:32,111 --> 00:34:35,364
see if that physical therapy
has really helped her out.
682
00:34:36,157 --> 00:34:37,575
KEEPER (over radio): Erica,
they're coming out now.
683
00:34:37,658 --> 00:34:40,411
ERICA: 10-4, copy.
684
00:34:41,871 --> 00:34:43,831
There she is.
685
00:34:44,082 --> 00:34:46,292
Happy Birthday, Grace.
686
00:34:46,375 --> 00:34:48,961
These boys,
they're troublemakers.
687
00:34:49,045 --> 00:34:51,255
(laughs)
688
00:34:52,715 --> 00:34:55,384
There's Grace running.
689
00:34:55,468 --> 00:34:56,969
(laughs)
690
00:34:57,053 --> 00:34:59,806
It makes me so happy.
691
00:34:59,889 --> 00:35:03,017
Grace, come on down.
692
00:35:03,601 --> 00:35:06,270
Look at you.
693
00:35:07,021 --> 00:35:09,649
She's getting some of
the smaller ice treat.
694
00:35:10,316 --> 00:35:12,902
So she's eating a flower.
695
00:35:13,611 --> 00:35:16,864
You're a little late, everybody
else has got your ice.
696
00:35:24,872 --> 00:35:28,251
NARRATOR: Backstage,
an overnight arrival.
697
00:35:28,334 --> 00:35:29,710
DR DEIDRE: We have had an
exciting morning here at
698
00:35:29,794 --> 00:35:31,462
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge.
699
00:35:31,546 --> 00:35:33,923
Heidi had her foal.
700
00:35:44,433 --> 00:35:46,561
We're excited and looking
forward to seeing what this
701
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:49,272
foal's gonna do.
702
00:35:55,153 --> 00:35:57,488
Hartmann's Mountain zebra
babies are always an exciting
703
00:35:57,572 --> 00:36:00,783
event for us.
704
00:36:01,284 --> 00:36:05,705
They are a species of
concern in the wild.
705
00:36:11,669 --> 00:36:14,505
But hours old
Trooper is struggling.
706
00:36:14,964 --> 00:36:17,592
The kid is laying down.
707
00:36:20,094 --> 00:36:23,014
His eyes are closed.
708
00:36:25,808 --> 00:36:29,312
Trooper is looking
a little off to us.
709
00:36:29,395 --> 00:36:32,190
When he finishes nursing,
we're seeing some milk
710
00:36:32,273 --> 00:36:34,567
coming out of his nose.
711
00:36:34,650 --> 00:36:36,694
He's coughing a little bit.
712
00:36:36,777 --> 00:36:39,655
Hey, mum, we're sorry,
but he needs to get better.
713
00:36:39,739 --> 00:36:42,366
Shut it, he's
not feeling well.
714
00:36:47,663 --> 00:36:50,208
We don't know exactly what's
causing it, but it could
715
00:36:50,291 --> 00:36:52,835
contribute to conditions
such as pneumonia and could
716
00:36:52,919 --> 00:36:55,838
potentially be
life threatening.
717
00:36:59,217 --> 00:37:02,595
We are gonna be transporting Trooper up
to work with our partners
718
00:37:02,678 --> 00:37:05,681
at the University of Florida
College of Veterinary Medicine,
719
00:37:05,765 --> 00:37:09,602
to do some more advanced
diagnostics on him today.
720
00:37:17,026 --> 00:37:20,112
CAITLIN: World's greatest
rhinos, here they come.
721
00:37:21,030 --> 00:37:22,698
NARRATOR: Horn freshly shorn,
722
00:37:22,782 --> 00:37:25,743
it's Mylo and
mom, Jao's big day.
723
00:37:25,826 --> 00:37:27,286
CAITLIN: It's a big deal for
Mylo, because this will be the
724
00:37:27,370 --> 00:37:29,580
first time that he's meeting
his dad, Dugan, without any
725
00:37:29,664 --> 00:37:31,707
barriers between them.
726
00:37:31,791 --> 00:37:34,627
We're very excited to see how
he interacts with Mylo and if
727
00:37:34,710 --> 00:37:37,421
he behaves appropriately.
728
00:37:37,505 --> 00:37:38,839
Here she is.
729
00:37:38,923 --> 00:37:41,133
It's happening.
730
00:37:41,217 --> 00:37:43,386
Here comes Jao and Mr Mylo.
731
00:37:43,511 --> 00:37:46,597
FEMALE KEEPER: You now have
Helen heading down the runway as well.
732
00:37:47,056 --> 00:37:49,141
CAITLIN: 10-4, copy.
733
00:37:50,476 --> 00:37:52,019
I don't know what Mylo's
doing, he looks like he's
734
00:37:52,103 --> 00:37:53,604
investigating something.
735
00:37:53,688 --> 00:37:56,524
Oh, here comes Helen.
736
00:38:00,861 --> 00:38:04,573
Oh, he's very spicy
this morning, very spicy.
737
00:38:04,657 --> 00:38:06,826
Which just means he's
like, overly confident and
738
00:38:06,909 --> 00:38:08,494
is looking for trouble.
739
00:38:08,577 --> 00:38:09,996
(laughs)
740
00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:12,456
It's pretty normal for him
and her, she always handles it
741
00:38:12,540 --> 00:38:14,750
really well and is super calm.
742
00:38:14,834 --> 00:38:17,211
We will have to watch for this
when Dugan comes out and see
743
00:38:17,295 --> 00:38:18,963
how Dugan reacts to this.
744
00:38:19,046 --> 00:38:21,507
He's very strong, he's very
big and sometimes animals like
745
00:38:21,590 --> 00:38:24,135
that don't know
their own strength.
746
00:38:25,428 --> 00:38:28,014
His horn is continuing to
grow, which we expected.
747
00:38:28,097 --> 00:38:31,225
Mylo's doing
really great, honestly.
748
00:38:32,935 --> 00:38:34,312
Alright, Mel, what
are we thinking?
749
00:38:34,395 --> 00:38:36,647
Are you ready for the big guy?
750
00:38:36,981 --> 00:38:39,275
MEL: 10-4. Get him out here.
751
00:38:44,447 --> 00:38:47,325
NARRATOR: Finally,
Mylo's moment arrives.
752
00:38:47,408 --> 00:38:49,618
CAITLIN: Dugan
weighs over 4,000 pounds.
753
00:38:49,702 --> 00:38:53,164
The size difference is pretty
substantial, so it's very easy
754
00:38:53,247 --> 00:38:56,792
for maybe Mylo to get pushed
a little too hard and for
755
00:38:56,876 --> 00:38:59,378
something to
potentially go wrong.
756
00:39:00,129 --> 00:39:02,631
Dugan's coming.
757
00:39:05,968 --> 00:39:08,971
Yeah, coming in hot.
758
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,184
Very excited.
759
00:39:19,565 --> 00:39:21,609
(grunting)
760
00:39:21,692 --> 00:39:23,736
Jao is pushing him back a
little bit, letting him know
761
00:39:23,819 --> 00:39:25,905
to be a little thoughtful.
762
00:39:31,660 --> 00:39:33,621
(grunting)
763
00:39:34,747 --> 00:39:41,420
♪ ♪
764
00:39:45,174 --> 00:39:48,302
I don't know why mom
would be triggered.
765
00:39:48,386 --> 00:39:51,555
She could just be setting
some boundaries with him.
766
00:40:01,982 --> 00:40:05,736
The excitement of Jao
getting hyped up like that drew Mylo over.
767
00:40:11,033 --> 00:40:15,121
So this is the first like
adult male he's meeting.
768
00:40:17,123 --> 00:40:19,959
Dugan is so great and so calm.
769
00:40:20,292 --> 00:40:23,921
Mylo will learn from
Dugan about how to spar.
770
00:40:24,755 --> 00:40:27,633
Jao's standing there, like,
"I don't know about this."
771
00:40:27,716 --> 00:40:30,845
She's keeping an
eye on things.
772
00:40:33,472 --> 00:40:36,559
Jao's got a mouthful of hay,
she just needs to supervise,
773
00:40:36,642 --> 00:40:38,436
but also wants
to feed herself.
774
00:40:38,519 --> 00:40:41,564
Multi-tasking, the
way every mom does.
775
00:40:45,734 --> 00:40:47,945
The fact that Dugan is allowing
Mylo to approach his neck
776
00:40:48,028 --> 00:40:51,740
and get sideways like that is
really kind of special.
777
00:40:55,119 --> 00:40:57,288
It's really cool when you see
adults playing with kids like
778
00:40:57,371 --> 00:41:00,791
this, they will essentially
pull their punches.
779
00:41:00,875 --> 00:41:02,710
He's letting
Mylo back him down.
780
00:41:02,793 --> 00:41:05,629
There's no way Mylo physically
is actually pushing him back.
781
00:41:06,213 --> 00:41:09,967
I have strong suspicions,
once Jao realizes that Dugan will babysit,
782
00:41:10,050 --> 00:41:12,386
she's gonna enjoy the scenario,
because she's get to kind of
783
00:41:12,470 --> 00:41:15,890
just eat or nap while Mylo's
bothering somebody else.
784
00:41:17,016 --> 00:41:20,603
It's always exceptionally cute
when you have this very small
785
00:41:20,686 --> 00:41:24,356
rhino with this very
large rhino interacting.
786
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,320
White rhinos are the most
social species of rhinos.
787
00:41:29,403 --> 00:41:31,780
So it's really, really
important that Mylo learns
788
00:41:31,864 --> 00:41:34,950
how to interact with
other males, with bulls.
789
00:41:35,242 --> 00:41:37,912
It's very early, he's very
young, but many years from now,
790
00:41:37,995 --> 00:41:40,206
he will start his own
family with another herd of
791
00:41:40,289 --> 00:41:43,167
females and hopefully, one day
will have lots of babies and
792
00:41:43,250 --> 00:41:46,420
he'll be a great dad,
just like Dugan.
793
00:41:46,504 --> 00:41:49,298
Oh, that's cute.
794
00:41:49,381 --> 00:41:52,468
Friendship.
795
00:41:52,843 --> 00:41:55,304
Everything today has gone,
honestly, as well as we could
796
00:41:55,387 --> 00:41:56,805
have hoped it would.
797
00:41:56,889 --> 00:41:59,225
And it will allow for Mylo
and Dugan to kind of build a
798
00:41:59,308 --> 00:42:00,809
stronger relationship.
799
00:42:00,893 --> 00:42:04,021
And they seem to
truly enjoy each other.
800
00:42:06,482 --> 00:42:09,068
Oh, Mylo's laying down, huh.
801
00:42:09,151 --> 00:42:12,279
Nap time.
802
00:42:12,363 --> 00:42:15,616
Oh, that's a real
comfortable baby rhino.
803
00:42:24,124 --> 00:42:27,294
NARRATOR: After a week in the
hospital, baby zebra, Trooper,
804
00:42:27,378 --> 00:42:30,172
returns to the park.
805
00:42:31,715 --> 00:42:33,634
DR DEIDRE: So Trooper's
diagnosis is what they called
806
00:42:33,717 --> 00:42:35,135
dummy foal syndrome.
807
00:42:35,219 --> 00:42:37,513
And what that means is,
he just didn't have the
808
00:42:37,596 --> 00:42:40,766
competency to be able to
swallow properly, but he is
809
00:42:40,849 --> 00:42:43,435
gonna have a great
prognosis long term.
810
00:42:43,519 --> 00:42:47,398
NARRATOR: Now he waits to
reunite with mom, Heidi.
811
00:42:50,526 --> 00:42:52,319
DR DEIDRE: Trooper has been
at a university surrounded by
812
00:42:52,403 --> 00:42:54,780
humans that have been taking
care of him for the last week
813
00:42:54,863 --> 00:42:58,951
and so, we want him to realize
that he's a zebra again.
814
00:43:00,953 --> 00:43:03,497
Our major concern today is
that they won't recognize each
815
00:43:03,581 --> 00:43:06,125
other again and if that
happens, we would have to
816
00:43:06,208 --> 00:43:09,670
manage them separately, which
is not an ideal scenario.
817
00:43:23,350 --> 00:43:27,479
Heidi is an experienced
mom and she's doing all the right things.
818
00:43:29,106 --> 00:43:33,777
Trooper is starting to nurse,
standing under Heidi.
819
00:43:33,861 --> 00:43:36,322
We're just watching to
make sure that he is going to
820
00:43:36,405 --> 00:43:38,866
swallow okay.
821
00:43:44,580 --> 00:43:48,208
Heidi and Trooper's introduction
couldn't have gone better.
822
00:43:48,292 --> 00:43:50,878
Heidi's maternal instincts
kicked in immediately and
823
00:43:50,961 --> 00:43:53,213
they've already
started bonding.
824
00:43:53,297 --> 00:43:56,008
We are super excited about
what the next few days
825
00:43:56,091 --> 00:43:57,801
are gonna bring.
