:01:03
Fortunately, the California
Animal Conservancy's programme...

:01:05
- He's beautiful.
- Is rescuing animals and bringing them here so they...

:01:09
It's the most beautiful animal
I ever seen.

:01:11
And the most valuable,
that's for sure.

:01:14
And he can't escape
because it's surrounded by a moat...

:01:17
and there are also some electrical wires
around the entire perimeter.

:01:20
- Isn't that the... - Wait. Be quiet.
- Joe was raised from infancy...

:01:22
by Jill Young, the daughter of
famed primatologist Ruth Young.

:01:26
Their closeness stems
from a tragic bond.

:01:29
Both Joe's and Jill's mothers
were killed by poachers 12 years ago...

:01:33
- Bloody hell! That's him!
- In the Pangani forest.

:01:34
They both became orphans
on the same night.

:01:37
That's him! That's the little fella
who bit your finger off!

:01:43
I'm always amazed how...
:01:47
if you wait long enough...
:01:50
the opportunity for justice
finally comes.

:01:54
Garth, book us
two tickets to America.

:01:57
We are going to pay a visit
to this incredible animal.

:02:00
I think I know how to convince
his current owners to part with him.

:02:10
Now, this fellow is one of only
300 wild yaks remaining on the planet.

:02:14
Now, you may ask: Why should we care
if this subspecies of yak survives?

:02:19
- But if we don't protect...
- Excuse me. Uh, could we see Joe?

:02:23
- Yeah. We want to meet Joe.
- Yes, you can certainly all see Joe...

:02:25
for the mere price of a diamond circle
benefactor ticket to tomorrow night's benefit.

:02:29
But, you know, this is for a good cause. It's
for the preservation of endangered species.
