[Music]
at the Malayan sunbear habitat Keepers
need to get lifelong Partners Tony and
Millie breeding again Tony and Millie
aren't quite so lovey-dovey I guess
there's definitely not a happy couple
going on there at the moment
[Music]
Tony is such a sweet little bear he
tries so hard to please Millie and she
doesn't always appreciate it
[Music]
she's the smaller of the two but she
definitely wears the trousers
Tony is now 11 um
and they've been together since they
were rescued in Cambodia
seven years ago
their relationship I guess it's very hot
and cold when it's hot it's really hot
but at the moment it's cold there's no
mating going on
[Music]
last year with breeding Tony and Millie
but after Millie gave birth celebrations
were cruelly cut short
the Cub was born in January one night
but then sadly it died the next day
but she carried on looking after it in
the nest
wouldn't she come to terms with the fact
that he had died eventually she did move
away from it and we were able to go and
retrieve it
[Music]
was the baby passed away the couple have
not always been getting on
[Music]
we do see Millie getting quite annoyed
at Tony some of the time it really
depends on how she's feeling as to
whether or not she's gonna take his
advances
but with as few as a thousand sun bears
remaining in the wild it's vital Millie
is encouraged to try for another cup
some relationships develop and Blossom
by themselves but sometimes you do have
to give them a little bit of a help in
hand
with romance on the Rocks keepers are
preparing to move the couple to a brand
new bear love nest I think it's going to
give us good foraging areas
part of the job for the Bears is playing
Cupid we're not going to play romantic
music and Scatter rose petals around but
we just have to make sure that it's the
right environment for them as close to
Natural as we possibly can
if all goes to plan Millie should warm
to Tony again we hope she can start
afresh and have her Cubs in there and
it'll all be great
it's 2 p.m
the transfer of estranged sun bears
Millie and Tony to a brand new habitat
begins this afternoon
it's critical that the move goes well as
Chester is hoping to become the first
British Zoo to breed this rare species
breeding of some bears actually is a bit
of a mystery people don't know a huge
amount about it and there's not much of
it happening in captivity around the
world
[Music]
we really hope that it will provide a
great environment for breeding success
but moving an 80 kilo carnivore is a
challenge
bears are not easy to move in sense that
you can't just go in and shove them into
a crate with a broom or net them or
anything they're way too powerful and
strong for that and we really want to
avoid sedating them because that can
have many risks
to make this operation even trickier
being put in a Transit crate brings back
bad memories for Tony and Millie
their moms were killed by poachers so
when they were tiny Cubs they were sold
into the illegal pet trade
so they're not exactly keen on going
into crates and you can understand why
Tony is first to be transferred and the
team are expecting him to be
particularly wary
he's been through an awful lot of trauma
caused by humans he's had his four
canine teeth removed which has pulled
out of his mouth with no anesthetic or
anything when he was a tiny cook which
is why we we take things very slow with
Tony
yeah
it's fine sure keeper Lucy has a
solution that she thinks may help
the best way to persuade a bear is food
but particularly honey they don't want
to enter a crate but they're willing to
do it for a nice reward and that's honey
in the wild sun bears risk stinging
their 20 centimeter long tongue to raid
beehives but today the honey is served
we have to go one step at a time and
each step involves a blob of honey
foreign
keeper Lucy squeezes honey through the
gate at the far end to tempt Tony into
the crate
good boy you just got to get him into
that sort of Honey zombie face good lads
honey
good lads
ready Dana
go go go go good boy Tony good boy
Johnny came into the crate for honey but
then his honey High ended
at that point it's just go go go get him
to the new enclosure
[Music]
oh
[Music]
[Music]
with the short journey across the zoo
complete Tony takes his first steps in
his new home
after a brief review of the territory
time for another nap
foreign
and he's already making it his own
so we've now got to go and get Millie
hopefully it will go as well as Tony
[Music]
sun bear Tony is settling well into his
new home
he's really loving the new habitat he
spends loads of time up the trees and he
lies right in front of the windows
having a nap snoring away
[Music]
Old Flame Millie has also made the move
but they've been kept in separate areas
[Music]
today they're about to be reunited time
to go meet Tony
again
the Bears have never produced a
surviving Cub together
you do sometimes think it's never going
to happen but then she had the club in
January which and I didn't survive but
it has given us hope
keepers are banking on their new love
Den to make all the difference
we really want them to get on really
well relationship to Blossom and
hopefully that'll be the place to start
a family have fun
here she goes
[Music]
as Millie makes her appearance
Tony goes all out to impress
[Music]
you can see how ripped he is he's just
showing off
um I'd be impressed if I put that much
effort in at the gym I think
mating has always been on Millie's terms
and in their old home Tony was getting
the cold shoulder
oh
but it seems Tony's flirting is starting
to melt Millie's heart
courtship has started and it's in full
swing there's lots of hugging and
fondling
[Music]
this is all part of the courtship
Behavior then wrestling and playing and
there's a lot of neck biting a bit of a
headlock there it's all part of it
[Music]
the love bears are becoming Inseparable
whether they're dining out together it's
all part of courtship I guess taking her
out for dinner
or heading back inside for Afters
[Music]
I think they see this as their bedroom
it's like a king-sized Suite
it definitely seems to have set the mood
the mood seems to have taken both of
them
and they're not shy in showing it
they chose to do most of their meeting
right in front of the huge new viewing
windows
just staring at them
I'll lead them to it
and we're so want Millie to have a cup
not only could we learn a massive amount
about it but also we can then use that
in the wild to help save the species
to have a little Club in the new
enclosure as well would kind of be the
icing on the cake who doesn't want to
see a bear cub you know
so fingers crossed
foreign
