00:00 The giraffes are waiting to be let out.
00:04 Baby Murchison has had plenty of chances to go outside in the last few weeks but
00:21 it seems he still doesn't fancy the idea.
00:27 Most times giraffe calves want to be straight out but he just doesn't want to
00:32 go outside. We need to get in there and get cleaning. It's easier for us if he
00:38 does go out with the herd and it should be with them, the herd animals. As if
00:44 there was an invisible line there, he just does not want to cross it.
00:53 Oh, come on then. Come on then.
01:01 He was a bit anxious at first. You saw him come up to the cobbles and then back
01:11 away.
01:14 No.
01:19 Yay!
01:28 And then he just saw his mum outside and was like, right I'm gonna do it.
01:31 Oh look how little he looks. The need to follow her was probably stronger than
01:37 his fear of like something new.
01:41 [Music]
01:53 So nice to see him standing out there with everyone.
01:58 When they're mixed outside it's scary for the first time. It's a large environment
02:07 for such a small animal. I think you're constantly on edge because every little
02:20 movement he makes you're like, oh god I hope he doesn't slip. Oh I hope he's
02:23 gonna right himself. Here he goes.
02:30 It's nerve-wracking to watch a giraffe run for the first time because the legs
02:35 are all over the shop. They're not sure where the brakes are, they go running out
02:39 and not know when to stop and normally if one sets off they all go crazy.
02:47 Yeah the moat's easy. If they go in the moat they can just climb out of the self,
02:57 it's the canal that's the more harder one to fish them out of.
03:05 [Music]
03:07 I was a little bit concerned at first because I didn't know why he didn't want
03:16 to go outside but to finally get him outside, you know, it's a great
03:19 achievement, it's a success.
