Sreath a tha a' toirt thugainn fiosrachadh a tha inntinneach agus iongantach mu chuid de na h-ainmhidhean as fheàrr leinn. An-diugh tha sinn a' coinneachadh ri Roilidh, sròn-adharcach dubh òg a tha beò air faichean-feòir Afraga. 'S e an t-sròn-adharcach aon de na h-ainmhidhean as motha air uachdar na talmhainn. Ach tha iad uile a' tòiseachadh beag. 'S dòcha gu bheil Roilidh beag an-dràsta ach fàsaidh e suas luath gu bhith na ainmhidh mòr tomadach.

Tha tòrr aige ri ionnsachadh sa chiad bhliadhna aige, o shlubraich ann am poll gu criomadh dhuilleagan. Dè chuireas eagal air sròn-adharcach? Carson is e isean beag an caraid as fheàrr aige agus dè na dh'fheumas Roilidh ithe gach latha gus am fàs e gu bhith na thunna gu leth de sheice, adharc is ladhar? Gheibhear a-mach sa phrògram seo.

Investigative guides which reveal amazing facts about members of the animal kingdom. The focus is on Roly, a baby black rhino at home on the African plains.

The rhino is one of the largest animals on the surface of the Earth but they all have to start somewhere. Roly may be small but he will grow up fast to become a herculean heavyweight. There is a lot to learn in his first year, from mud wallowing to browsing.

This episode explores what frightens rhinos, why a certain little bird is a rhino's best friend and just how much Roly will have to eat each day to grow and become one and a half tons of hide, horn and hoof.
