A clash that caused a global internet sensation.
It all started like any other day here at the park.
As a shepherdess,
I was keen to meet Cameroon ram Cecil...
What's this? You're gorgeous!
..one of the rarest sheep in the world.
I'm a little bit smitten, I have to say. Aargh!
Ow!
Suddenly, not so smitten.
And wild boy Cecil
had it in for our cameraman, Mark.
THEY GASP
THEY LAUGH
The bruising encounter went viral,
with more than 1.7 million views.
Six months later,
and in the seasonal spirit of goodwill,
Mark is back
to meet his nemesis.
KATE LAUGHS
He's come prepared.
That is a real man, right there.
I'm not taking any risks.
THEY LAUGH Now, Mark,
I have to say, I mean, we do need to big him up a little bit here.
don't we?
It was heroic that you managed to hold on to the camera.
Well, I mean, I fell on the floor
and you two, frankly, just stood there.
I stand by it. We warned you.
KATE LAUGHS
Told you to stay high and you went low.
I blame you, not Cecil.
So how are they now? Um...
Absolutely fine, thank you.
Was there any long-lasting ill effects?
Um...
..not that I'm aware of.
Maybe ask me in a few years' time when I try to have children.
But your little encounter with Cecil
went viral.
It went viral. Yes.
I mean, the world is now very concerned
about your nether regions.
I think Australia have seen it... Yes.
..Canada, France and Germany. Yeah.
So, yes, we have gone global.
THEY LAUGH
Well, I think it's very, very brave of you
to come in and bring a Christmas present
for Cecil.
I thought, perhaps, you might need...
..this...
to go with the...
KATE LAUGHS HEARTILY
We should also mention
that you took a fairly dramatic step... Yes.
..after the Cecil-Mark encounter,
which was what? Because we're not breeding from them,
we castrated them all,
and along with our training,
they have calmed down quite a bit.
So you're all in the same boat, basically.
Cecil is looking at you in a slightly kind off, "Hmm...
"..I remember you" way.
Shall we just see if he'll accept a Christmas present from you?
Right, come on, then.
Mark, look at you,
you're like a sheep secret Santa.
How do you feel?
It seems all right at the moment,
but I think it was last time that we stopped feeding them,
they soon turned nasty.
I think he's a sheep whisperer in the making, don't you?
He's getting there. I'm just not quite sure
they quite know what to make of him right now.
No, I think Cecil is just taking one look at you
and saying, "Victory is mine.
"If he's having to come in dressed like that to see me,
"I'm definitely the man."
Good boys.
