ROAR returns to Longleat

New series starts 7.45am Monday 31 October on CBBC

ROAR is back for another series of fun, fast and fabulous animal action.  Presented by Johny Pitts and Rani Price, CBBC’s currently longest running animal series is filmed down at Longleat Safari & Adventure Park which is home to over a hundred different species of animal, many of whom are endangered in the wild.

This series sees lots of new arrivals at the park - from elephants to cheetahs.  We meet Anne, the last circus elephant in Britain, who came to live at Longleat earlier this year after suffering abuse. We chart her rehabilitation from the moment she arrives and follow her progress as she settles in.  Is she now the most pampered elephant in Britain?

Yendi the lioness gives birth to four lion cubs – we follow them as they grow up and become part of the pride.  Six Cheetah arrive at the safari park from South Africa as part of an international breeding programme and the summer months bring a baby bonanza for the keepers to cope with – everything from baby meerkats, sealions, zebras, giraffes and even tortoises! 

Children are at the heart of the series with ROAR rangers becoming keepers for the day, the Killer question returns when children try and catch out the keeper’s animal knowledge and the world’s worst animal jokes are back in ROAR fun!

The new series will continue to build on the hugely popular online ROAR game where children run their own interactive animal parks. Each day a different cheat code is broadcast on the show which unlocks new game features at www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/roar
