00:30 - Definitely a mix of emotions at the moment.
00:51 You know, we're spending a lot of time getting ready
00:53 for their fight and things like that.
00:57 I think, you know, as we get closer,
01:01 we're starting to just be able,
01:04 maybe kind of recognize the feeling a bit more
01:07 that it's, you know, we'll come to the end
01:10 and we're, you know, I think everybody's having their,
01:13 starting just to feel a wee bit sad about it.
01:16 And, you know, a lot of us have worked with them
01:18 from when they first arrived
01:21 or really intensely for the time that we've been here.
01:24 So it's, yeah, it's a very odd one.
01:28 A big part of the time we've been here
01:32 is the conservation work and research effort
01:36 that we've been able to contribute to and help with.
01:38 And we've discovered a lot of information
01:42 to do with their reproduction,
01:44 to do with their diet, their bamboo,
01:46 and nutrients and stuff like that, that we get from that.
01:49 So it's been, you know, almost twofold.
01:52 We've got the conservation and research effort
01:55 that we've had, but also on the husbandry side of things.
01:57 We've learned so much from working
01:59 with a very specialist species of bear.
02:02 So it's, yeah, it's going to be completely odd
02:09 and different without them being here.
