Episode 2
At Five Sisters Zoo, Chris is getting hands on with a host of slippery and prickly creatures in the reptile section.
Tha beathaichean iongantach is annasach, beag is mòr, a’ còmhnaidh ann am pà ircean fiath-bheathaichean ann an Alba.
Beathaichean a tha a’ tà ladh a’ phobaill agus nan tlachd mòr dhaibh. Ach dè mu dheidhinn na daoine a tha a’ frithealadh nam beathaichean sin fad na bliadhna: na glèidheadairean. Chì sinn an cà irdeas a tha eatorra, an urram a th’ aca dha chèile agus an obair a tha an lùib a bhith a’ cumail an leithid a’ dol.
An t-seachdain sa, aig Pà irc Safari Blà r Dhruiminn tha Brian os cionn roinn nan leòmhainn agus as deidh coig bliadhna fichead aig a’ Phà irce, tha dlùth cheangal aige ris na beathaichean seo. Aig Pà irce Fiadh-bheatha na Gà idhealtachd tha Vickie air a bhith ag obair còmhla ri Hamish am mathan-bà n o’n nuair a nochd e an toiseach o chionn ochd miosan deug air ais. Agus aig Sù nan Còig Peathraichean tha Chris trang ann an roinn nan snà gairean le beathaichean de gach seòrsa.
The wildlife parks and zoos in Scotland are huge visitor attractions and home to all types of creatures – exotic and endangered, big and small. Through the eyes of their keepers we get to know the animals and their individual personalities. We learn about the conservation work and the husbandry: the feeding, the care, the welfare, the enrichment, the training and the breeding programmes as well as the endless shoveling of poo - all in a day in the life of a keeper.
Brian has worked at Blair Drummond Safari Park for 25 years, and has developed a very strong bond with the lions. At Highland Wildlife Park, Vickie has worked with Hamish the polar bear since he was born 18 months ago. She is trying to do a training session with him, but he’d rather play. And, at Five Sisters Zoo, Chris is getting hands on with a host of slippery and prickly creatures in the reptile section.
