RAINY DAY at London Zoo! 🦛 Mini Hippo, Giraffes & Chaos With Posh Twink Carl 🚆🌧️ PART 1本站添加:
Morning gang. All right. Um well, we got a little trip today uh to London Zoo to see my family. One offer in the zoo, the other in prison. Okay. Uh the weather unfortunately, look at the sky, is uh predicted to have thunderstorms and uh rain this morning and I can already feel it spitting. I had an umbrella with me which is still in the kitchen. I forot forgotten to bring it to the train station, but there we are. Uh so we go down there and we'll be meeting uh posh twink car, one of my very good friends um who actually works at London Zoo and he's going to take me for a little tour around there. So come along for the journey to London Zoo via Richmond calling at Martin Escot.
Well, we've managed to get to Camden Town Station, and it's a walk up here.
It's It's horrible weather.
>> Really horrible weather. So, I don't know how much we're going to be able to do today. Uh but um the zoo is up that way. So, we'll walk up here and I'll see you at the entrance. I'm tempted to go back down there and try and find an umbrella. On the other hand, they might Oh, she nearly had accident then. What happened there? Blime me.
What happened then? You all right, love?
You all right? Yeah. And she nearly lost all her uh stuff then. I'm wondering if London Zoo sells umbrellas.
Fingers crossed. Okay, just going past this place, the spread eagle. I used to do a a karaoke night in there some years ago. Must be about 8 to 10 years ago now. Long time ago.
Funny walking up and down these streets.
I worked here at a place called the Black Cap that's down the other way where we've just come from uh for 18 years as a a DJ there. All these little shops have changed over time. There was a pub. Oh, there it is.
This is quite a famous pub as well, the Dublin Castle, which we're just going past now.
Bit of a music venue. Oh, they have a lot going on here. Look, look at all this stuff they have going on here.
U42.
I never actually came in here, but um it was always very popular whenever I drove past it.
Not far to go. Oh, look at this.
like me. Oh god, he's that's all flowers. That is He's delivering flowers.
Hope they sell umbrellas in here.
Surely there's a London Zoo umbrella type thing.
Fingers crossed. E, sometimes when I drive home from work, I come this way. always go past this um very nice looking Chinese restaurant on the river here in Camden.
Fen Shang Princess. That lovely building, a why go to China when you can come here and look at it. There's all the boats, house boats and all that down there.
Look how much longer this is. This is a bit of a longer walk than I thought it would be. And I'm getting extremely wet.
Nice looking church there.
As you can see, we've come out of the uh main part of the town now.
I'm walking down here.
Ah, there's a sign this way. Okay.
I'm almost there apparently. Now, this says Keeper's Lodge. Look at this ass.
Wow. I wonder who lives in there. Is that like like the boss of the zoo or whatever? What a lovely house.
Oh dear. And you're right in the middle of everything here. Like um you know to not in the middle of everything but easy to get to everywhere from here with the tube station about 10 minutes walk down there. It's not a long walk from the tube station unless it's raining and in which case it's a very long walk.
Just think if I had air it would be wet.
Oh well.
Here we are. Found the entrance. Not many people here either. Look so happy days in there.
>> And I can see my mate arriving in his jacket. It's very lunous jacket, isn't it? Look.
>> Excuse me.
>> All right. Carl, >> nice to see you.
>> Well, I'm very pleased to tell you my friend has arrived. Carl, I did try and get you as you were coming in and I'm chatting away and I realized my little microphone was in the wrong place again.
My microphone was on the floor. So, I don't think they heard us. So, welcome here. Uh, this is Carl, otherwise known as posh twinkle. How long have you worked here?
>> Oh gosh, nearly 2 months now.
>> Wow. And do you enjoy it? Is it a voluntary position?
>> Yes. Okay. Okay. Could you get like a full-time job for it or something like that?
>> Yeah, you can do especially myself have qualifications.
>> Qualifications. Very intelligent degree.
>> A degree. Is it like a doctor?
>> No.
>> Oh.
>> Oh, I did. Bachelor of Science.
>> Just a normal degree.
>> Yeah.
>> Bog standard degree. How did >> you brought us here today and you've got a day off and you're going to take us around and we'll just go with a flow.
They did offer us a map, but you know where we go.
>> Brains ready. So, >> so let's go. Come on.
>> Where do you reckon we should go first?
Oh, look.
>> So, lovely. Look, look at that.
>> This is actually This is Guy the gorilla, >> right?
>> Um, so it's a >> I've heard of him.
>> Yeah, he he was >> Did he used to be here?
>> He used to be here um early.
>> Is he gone now?
>> Yeah. Yeah. Long gone now.
>> Gorilla heaven.
>> Um, >> is that bronze?
>> It is. I think so.
>> That's >> I think it might be bronze.
>> Wow, look at that.
>> Um, >> that's worth a small fortune, isn't it?
So he arrived at the zoo in 1947.
>> Yeah.
>> Um passed away around the ' 70s or so.
>> Okay.
>> But you ever go to um natural history museum, >> right?
>> You get to see a uh sadly a um a full >> a skeleton.
>> Not a skeleton though. We call it like not taxiderermy, but you know like like a stuffed version of guy, >> right?
>> Um at at the natural history.
>> Is that something you might like when you're dead?
>> No.
>> A a stuffed Carl?
>> No. Oh, just a just a suggestion.
>> So, um >> so we can either go down to Africa.
>> Yes.
>> Which is down on the right here. See, this used to be the aquarium.
>> Oh, right. Yeah.
>> Um but it's a listed building. Um so it had what happened in there then?
>> Well, um it's just a lot of maintenance.
As I said, it's it's just a really old building. I love the picture of the tiger on there. Isn't that beautiful?
>> So, yeah, what we've done, we've got an artist coming in and we decorated the or the artist, sorry, decorate the whole whole building.
>> Um, but yeah, it's one of the first aquariums that opened here at London Zoo.
>> That's beautiful, that picture.
>> Yeah, it's truly amazing. Um, and the top part, it used to be used for baboons back in the day.
>> Yeah, that makes sense.
>> So, yeah, it's a list of building, so we can't knock it down or anything. So we decided to >> make it a nice artistic building.
>> Well, it's lovely.
>> Yeah, >> lovely. I fancy Africa first then.
>> All right, then. So we go down this way.
>> All right. Okay.
>> Do you know how much it costs to keep this going?
>> Um so >> daily or the the amount they spend on food a day or whatever.
>> So there's a lot of costs. So um the zoo is basically um on royal park ground, right? So you have to pay um tax um towards the the world park.
>> Oh, really?
>> Yeah. So you're renting out. Yeah. Um >> wouldn't have thought they would have had to do that, you know, with older Charles. He's very pro environment, isn't he? That sort of thing, you know.
>> So, uh >> we're under the main road, aren't we?
>> Yeah. So, there's two tunnels. This is the west tunnel.
>> Yes.
>> Um which leads under the path of the road.
>> Okay.
>> Um so here we've got um the other side of the zoo. So this is the orange zone of the zoo. Um so this is the biggest part uh of the zoo.
>> Yeah.
>> Um so we're behind the zoo now. So we're on the north side of the zoo. Um, so welcome to Africa.
>> Um, so we can either go through this way. I think this way is probably better, especially for your global global viewers.
>> Global viewers. It's worth telling you, Carl. You may not know this, um, but we do have a lot of, uh, housebound people watching.
>> Oh, really?
>> And, uh, this became obvious on my first trip to Ferto Ventura.
>> Nice.
>> And people were very appreciative and they said they felt like they were walking along with us, if you see what I mean, while I was walking along and uh, >> you know, doing my chitchats and what have you.
Um, so that's why I do the shows like this now.
>> Literally just walking along >> even before we've seen anything rather than going straight to the um uh main attraction which of course today is you as you well know is me.
>> So over to our right we have our piggy hippo. I guess she's inside. Is she okay?
>> Yeah, she'll be inside. Yeah. Um, >> she's uh >> Oh, zebra's over there. Look. Yeah.
>> Let's see those in a bit.
>> Py hippo hot tub. He's got his own hot tub. Please don't tell me that.
>> She has her own.
>> Um, so >> so it will be a bit dark in here, but she is somewhere. Oh, there she is.
She's over there. Is she there?
>> Oh, when it when it said pygmy hippo, I expected like a mini thing.
>> Actually looks like a model, you know, rather than a little living being in there. Is that where she sleeps all the time?
>> Uh, sometimes say she's got enclosure goes right around and hot tubs just behind.
>> Oh, it's huge. Okay. Yeah. I thought for a minute she was only in there. So, there's nothing else in her room.
>> No, she's the only pic in here. So, there's So, this is her hot tub. So, it's very warm in here.
>> Yeah, I can see the um uh your electric bill here must be huge.
>> Oh, yeah. Um >> so, she's on her own. Has it always been like that or some one of them died or whatever? Maybe.
>> I know she's always been on their own.
Um the first >> um so some pygmy hippos can be put together, some can't depending.
>> Yeah.
>> Um but first pygmy hippo arrived at London Zoo in 1913. Okay. Um, so she she's just one of our beautiful picnic hippos here.
>> She is look just lying there quietly.
>> Yeah, she's very active.
>> Reminds me of someone laying on a bed in Benorm or somewhere like that.
>> She does look like she's been on a ride flight.
>> A This is another bit of where she um plays around, is it?
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. So, this is our other hot tub. So, sometimes she's in there. Um, >> but yeah, she's she's very active.
>> All right. Lovely. There you go.
>> Okay.
>> You're doing very well with a conversation. I know. You must be very nervous.
>> I know. I'm used to >> being near a mega star. No, you're quite used to being near me, aren't you?
Oh, giraffes. They're your favorite, are they? They >> uh one of my favorites. Yeah. So, we've got two giraffes in here. And three zebras and three ostriches.
>> Um so, one of my favorite ostriches. Sorry.
>> Are the ostriches in here somewhere?
>> Yeah. So, they're either going to be inside or they're going to be out.
>> Um, but we have a male ostrich called Rocky.
>> Um, >> oh, I can see one over there.
>> That might ostrich. Yes, it might be a female male cuz it might be male or female. You got two females in here. One male.
>> Look at these little things.
>> These are obviously like hot weather creatures, aren't they? Yeah. Are they happy? What do they do in the winter?
Um, so >> have they like acclimatized to our weather?
>> Um, so if get cold >> closer there if I can.
>> Um, in the enclosures they've got heat lamps.
>> Yeah.
>> Um, so it warms up their their um their lovely enclosure inside.
>> That might be him at the back, but I can't.
>> There's there's like a smell. Obviously not, but it smells like that blooming funny cigarette stuff. Is that like one of the plants or something here?
>> Possibly. Yeah. Um, okay. So, as you can tell, their enclosures got um highly built um >> poles sort of sort of dr and able to um eat uh the twigs on there.
>> Oh, look. He's coming over.
>> Is that a girl or a boy? I don't don't know.
>> So, one's male, one's female. The way you can tell is the color.
>> All right.
>> Um so, dark colors skin tones are the males and lighter ones are females.
>> I must admit they both look the same color to me. Where's the other one gone?
Oh, look. Do you know I couldn't see it.
It's that well um what do you call it?
Camouflaged there.
>> Um so in the wild they'd be very well camouflaged. I think it's quite exposed here. Um >> what attacks them? Lions are present.
>> Oh, lions. Yeah, lions would. But they're they have a very good defense mechanism with their legs. Um >> with their legs.
>> With the legs. Yeah. Go on.
>> Um so they can um buckle if they wish to. Um, but their heads usually um would be used as a weapon because their skulls are quite thick and could damage uh damage another giraffe >> creature. Yeah.
>> Um, so male giraffes kind of um buckle each other not as a deer, but they swing their heads and with their thick skulls it can crack a rib to another giraffe.
>> Do they fight much though?
>> These ones don't. U in the wild, males will fight over females.
>> Right. Okay.
>> Yeah.
>> Beautiful.
>> I've had a lot of people fighting over me over the years. Have you?
>> Oh, yeah. What about you?
>> Uh maybe. I can't remember. It's been too many.
>> No schools here today then?
>> Uh not that I know of. Um cuz it's my day off. We have a briefing every morning. So You get all the information in one bit as this morning I'm not in.
>> Such a beautiful creature.
>> It's truly amazing. There are trees.
>> Really beautiful.
>> Are they Do you go in the enclosure yourself when you're working?
>> Um so basically depends on what road we're on. Um some people have volunt um like experiences with other public members. Um so we do stuff with the keepers during experience talks or feium giraffes. Um so you can actually buy a ticket to actually feed the giraffes.
>> Oh, can you?
>> Yeah. And we help with that.
>> And what do you give them? I mean they're eating the munching away at those trees at the moment, aren't they?
>> So they're twigs up there or branches.
Sorry. um they take off the um >> the substrate on the on the twigs there.
So >> um they eat leaves obviously cuz they're in the wilds they eat um leaves and and different kinds of twigs and stuff.
>> They are uh ruminants. So they have four chamber stomachs.
>> Um so they have one stomach with four different chambers.
>> And the way we can tell with that uh look at their feet, they have split toes there. Um so ruminant animals like cows, giraffes um and goats, they have um fort stomachs, >> right?
>> So the kids get >> so Yeah. Um also if you look at zebras, they have a onehole poof, >> right?
>> Uh one that's what we call one toe, >> right? Right.
>> Um so they are monogastric, but means one stomach thing, one chamber stomach.
You know some very very big words too.
>> Very impressive.
>> Okay.
>> It's our first little school there.
>> They come from all over here, don't they? Do you get international um schools come or >> um just British ones?
>> So London is very big tourist attraction.
>> Yeah.
>> Um so whoever comes to UK schools, colleges eventually they will come here, >> right? Um, so it's a wide range of different schools. Um, we had some French schools coming in just for the attraction.
>> Um, >> did did we miss the ostrich?
>> Um, may I think it may >> Oh, there he Oh, look.
>> So, >> Oh, I want to ride one.
>> So, this is Rocky, our male.
>> Where is he?
>> There he is.
>> Does he know you? If you see what I mean. I can just about see him through that fence. It's so animals recognize people in their uniforms, >> right?
>> Um, >> but he might come over.
>> Oh, what a Oh, he's looking over gorgeous.
>> He's looking over, but >> what a shame they've only got dark black feathers. I mean, be more colorful.
Okay, >> that's the male. Uh, the female, that's the male female over there. Sorry.
>> Oh, she's coming out now. Look. Oh, she's looking at you.
>> Um, so >> hello.
So, uh, this, so the female is this dark kind of light brown color, beiging looking.
>> I note that her head's going up and down. What does that mean? Anything?
>> Um, so she's positive. Uh, she's wondering what you've got.
>> Okay.
>> Um, hello.
>> This is our female.
>> Um, but yeah, she is. She's >> Come a bit closer. Hello.
>> I hope she can't reach over the fence and grab my my iPhone 14. Where is she?
There she is. Argent beyond there. Look.
So, yeah, she I I know these hostages are here. Um I think Rocky's over there looking for some food. Um >> Okay. The other one's right over the other side now.
>> Yeah.
>> All right.
I know it's a stupid question, right?
>> Yeah.
>> Um but can you actually ride an ostrich?
No, you can't. Um cuz their legs look a bit I don't think they certainly take mine. No.
>> What do you mean no?
>> I don't take mine either. Um but these are one of the biggest birds in the world, >> right?
>> Um if you go back over a thousand years, um places like Madagascar, um we had something called an elephant bird, which was over 10 ft tall. Um, and when they lay the eggs, uh, these elephant birds, they're equivalent to 25 chicken eggs put together.
>> Big eggs.
>> Big big big eggs. Um, but if you seen an ostrich egg, um, their eggs are huge.
>> Um, so the two, well, the three biggest birds we've got in the world are ostriches and casawaries and the emus.
Um, so ostriches are from Africa.
Caseraries and emus live in Australia and they're known as flightless birds including the penguin. Um penguins are flightless birds as well.
>> Um but over here right in front of us we have something called anarpy.
Um so people think oh >> oh what a long tongue.
>> Yeah. So their long tongue is adapted to get choke me that would >> So this is McCarthy.
>> Yeah. Um, >> look at the tongue. I can't believe how long that tongue is.
>> So, um, people think, oh, they're cross between a deer >> and a zebra and a >> zebra, >> but they're not.
>> But they're not.
>> Okay.
>> Um, this is their natural characteristic image. Um, but she she is absolutely lovely. She is she is amazing. Um, the reason why they got that camouflage look is because from a distance, um, they all blend in their surroundings.
>> Right, I'm going to try and get Can I get any closer? No, I can't. That's as close as I can get with the camera. I'm just trying to try and get that that tongue in there. Look. Gosh.
It's incredible, isn't it?
>> Yeah, it is.
>> Are we in there?
>> Uh, so that's that's the enclosure inside. My guests are all outside. I think they're all out today, aren't they? Hello, mate. All right.
Just walking along thinking, you know, the idea was we're going to make one video today. I think this might be two.
Actually, we might get too Don't like it to go on too long. People start falling asleep while they're listening. Mainly to you, to be honest.
>> Oh, I see.
But uh we've got two a carpies in here.
>> Pardon?
>> We have two aarpies.
>> Where's the other one in here?
>> Just around there. And we also got >> Do they not get on then? Is that why they're separated?
>> Um so I think one's male, one's female.
So potentially we don't want >> don't want more babies.
>> Yeah. Um we alo got a red forest deer in here somewhere. Much more smaller. Um but she is I think the deer are a male female. I can't remember.
>> Oh, that's interesting. The like That is natural. Those square things on it or has that been like stamped on with some machine? Do you see the square things on her? Is it her neck?
>> Um, so she I might have had um a health check.
>> Oh, right. Okay. Okay.
>> That um >> I thought it was like a >> She might have had health camouflage thing or something like that.
>> I I don't think I've ever seen one of those.
>> No.
>> No, I don't think I've ever seen one of those creatures.
Okay.
>> I noticed security cameras everywhere.
>> What's What's the problem here?
>> Um, so potentially >> surely not people breaking in trying to steal the animals.
>> So not stealing the animals, but people just like to get a free entry.
>> Oh, okay.
>> But of course you had one today nearly enough. Um, >> I beg your pardon. Did I not? £34. I love you. No.
Um, but yeah, >> I was hoping >> Mark, I've got you on. Um, >> no, I I don't mind paying my way.
>> So, over here, right right just there, we've got a water hog.
>> Okay, >> we've got three of them in here.
>> They look like they would run after me.
>> Well, they will charge at you. Um, >> can't quite see through that, too.
>> So, don't underestimate. Let's come the other side.
>> Um, they're very good at charging, >> are they? Um even like pigs having farms um male or females would >> you could do some damage with those uh tusks. Are they called tusks aren't they?
>> They are called tusks. So they would actually just run at you um >> just to defend themsel. They're young um piglets there. Even they're not piglets but they are.
>> All right. We use the word juvenile which is means baby or young.
>> Okay. Yeah.
>> What do they eat? Um, so we give them like hay in here. So they eat hay or we give them like pellets.
>> Um, so they eat the pellets there.
>> There's their ark just there.
>> So they sleep in there, >> their little house.
Are they bothered by the cold at all?
>> Um, no. Um, so the hair keeps them warm and they all huddle up together. Do get a little bit chilly. So if they do get chilly, they huddle up together.
>> I'd like someone to huddle up with.
>> Oh, really? I'd just have an electric blanket.
>> That's better though.
>> What level does yours go up to?
>> At least it doesn't smell. Do you know what I mean?
>> What level do I have it on? And it's 1 to five and I have it on four.
>> I put mine on nine.
>> Do you really?
>> Yeah. In the winter.
>> No, it's 10. It's what? N to 10, isn't it? Or 1 to 10. Yeah, that's right.
Yeah. Yeah.
>> It does get a bit cold in my place, but >> you're very knowledgeable. Did you have to do some sort of course to um before you started here at all or?
>> Um so I'd studied zoolology for seven years.
>> Well, in college or >> in college and university um so I went to K Mana College >> um which is a landbased college.
>> Um so I was there for seven years. So I did an undergrad and then I went did a further education which is university course.
>> Okay.
>> Did you have to pay for that? Uh if >> are you like in like tens of thousands of pounds worth of debt like so many youngsters are? I think it's so wrong that I really do.
>> It is. Um but I I was there since um under 18. So I started when I was 17 or 16 17 and um if you're there at undergrad um you get those years of three.
>> Okay.
>> Um but depending on some people some have to pay if you're joined.
>> Did you build up a debt to student debt?
Uh, no I didn't actually. No. Um, >> good.
>> There's a whole point having parents, isn't it?
>> Mom paid, did she?
>> See, not everyone can afford to do that.
>> But >> I'm sure she made some sacrifices. Oh, now this looks very, very interesting here. Look.
>> Oh, look. Yeah.
>> More teasers. No.
>> No, we mustn't. That >> £3 pound50 pound50. That's the odian.
>> I know. No.
>> Ah, we're going in here now, are we?
>> Okay.
>> Now, you said we might not be able to um use the camera in here, didn't you?
>> Yeah.
>> Now, why why is that?
>> Um because some monkeys are quite inquisitive, but these monkeys uh should be okay and ask my colleague over there uh and see if if you're allowed to use it.
>> I don't want to risk them stealing my £300 phone.
Oh, it's the I I said that was a river earlier. It's not, is it? No, it's a canal. Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> That's lovely. It must be lovely walking along there.
>> Oh, it is. Um, >> is it dangerous at night?
>> I don't know. Cuz I don't walk I don't walk here at night.
>> Oh, I can see the monkeys jumping around. I'm a little bit scared. What if one tries to eat me?
>> I don't think so.
>> I can see up there.
>> They're vegetarians.
>> Oh, are they?
>> Yeah.
>> Oh, that's cool.
bite my nose off or something.
>> Mind you, I wouldn't have to blow it then, would I?
>> No.
>> Wouldn't have to sniff anymore if it didn't have a nose.
>> No.
>> Right.
>> So, I just ask my colleague here quickly.
>> Leave buggies. Hide your food and drink.
See, they might think my camera is something to eat. Or are they pretty intelligent?
>> Yeah, there it goes.
>> Hello. Yeah.
>> Um, >> my friend's got a camera. Is it okay to bring it in or is it not really?
>> As long as it's got not got flash on it should be okay.
>> They're not going to grab it, are they?
>> It's just sticking their face like >> Carl in here as well. I >> think so. Yeah. How are you?
>> I'm all right. Well, yeah. We were in it was raining, but I see.
>> That was horrible weather. I can't believe the sun's come out.
>> I was with the squirrel monkeys. One of them actually caught a bird. Oh, >> really?
>> Yeah. Blue tip. Oh. Okay.
>> Yeah.
>> Fine.
>> Take care.
>> Thank you, mate.
>> See you.
>> Reminds me of being a co actually with that, don't it?
>> People say it's like Jurassic Park.
>> Huh?
>> People's like Jurassic Park. So when I'm here, >> see some up there looking.
>> So yeah.
>> So we have 10 of them in here.
>> Um so you can see like to eat vegetation.
>> I can see them up there. Yeah.
>> Do they tend to stay high up, do they?
>> Yeah. So they they are known as aoreal creatures. Um so they mean like so they like to stay in trees and stuff like that or >> lovely tails >> or elevate know the word >> elevate the daleks. Oh sh don't want to frighten them. Elevate >> on your radio show you said to last night >> I want to use the word elevate and I have used it.
>> Oh yeah. Go and use it today. Go on.
>> So >> Oh, sorry. That's a very close to you.
>> How close?
>> Say you got a little bit of a spot there.
>> I know. I know. It's working in very humidity um environments. Um, so you can see that they are coming down.
>> They are quite elevated, aren't they?
>> They are elevated.
>> The monkeys are elevated. Very good.
>> We also got ducks in here as well.
Whistle ducks. What? 13.
>> Down there.
>> Down here.
>> Probably a little bit too far away.
There he is. Love it.
>> Hello, mister. Do they have names?
>> They do. Uh, but I can't remember all of their names. Um, >> I can imagine a child now seeing him and wanting to go and pull the tail.
>> Oh, don't. Yeah, we we say to people don't pull the tail or anything like that.
>> Um, >> are they happy here? Do you think >> Oh, yeah. That they're very happy. Well, they've got food and warmth and everything. Um, because although I'm going through here, I'm kind of thinking, you know, >> should they be enclosed like this?
>> Just just don't stand underneath them.
>> Okay. Well, is it likely to we or something?
>> Yeah, >> I do hope not.
But there's sunbathing over there as well. Oh, yeah.
>> I have um a fox now.
>> Yeah.

>> They only go to the toilet once a week.
>> Oh, I wish that was the case for me with the IBS.
>> I know. Oh gosh. Yeah, tell me about it.
Um so um they spend four hours either get nutritions from fruit or veg. Um they've got no teeth either.
>> Oh. Um, so they're known as zenithous animals, meaning odd limbs. So they have very long arms and their nails go right around. So they're able to hang on to um long branches and stay at high altitudes um in in the forest. So they're from South America um but they spend most of their time sleeping during the day.

>> Right. We lose around 60 uh long range uh of trees. As when I say 60, uh we lose a football field of of trees nearly every hour. Uh in South America, we have a board just behind us uh about the deforestation.
>> Oh yeah, we saw we saw that as we were walking past it. Um so we lose around 31,000 at least of trees a year in South America um due to palm oil production or uh burning um ferns. So I is a conservation charity uh to help >> palm oil is pal. So we get palm oil in food such as Nutella and biscuits and so on.
