  • -Robert, it's always good to see you.

  • -It is so great to see you. -How are you doing?

  • Everything good? -I am absolutely awesome.

  • Thank you so much for having me back on.

  • You have...the best audience,

  • the best viewers in the entire world.

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • -I agree.

  • Have you been getting good feedback from your appearances?

  • -Absolutely. Everyone's been so nice.

  • So thank you very much. It's just a great experience.

  • -Oh, I'm happy. -Thank you.

  • -We love having you on.

  • You always bring really cool animals.

  • And it's very informative but also very scary for me.

  • -[ Laughs ]

  • -But first, I want to talk about --

  • You are going to go on a big trip here.

  • What's the expedition? Tell us about that.

  • -Yeah. So, every single year a team of scientists

  • from the Australia zoo and my family

  • actually go up to the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve,

  • which is this huge reserve.

  • And it's about the size of New York City,

  • and it's just massive.

  • And we've got all kinds of different animals there.

  • And we've actually invited people to come with us

  • on an expedition to research all these different animals.

  • We've actually got the most comprehensive study of

  • crocodiles in the entire world.

  • We're learning these amazing things.

  • It's techniques that my dad actually started.

  • So anyone who wants to can actually come with us

  • and experience this remote bushland in Australia.

  • -Really? -It's great. It is amazing.

  • -What do we have to do? Go to a website or something?

  • -Exactly. Yeah.

  • So, you go to australiazooexpeditions.com.

  • And you can come with us.

  • The reserve is the size -- It's huge.

  • It's twice the size of Singapore.

  • It's amazing.

  • -Wow. My goodness.

  • -Yeah. Yeah.

  • -I noticed you didn't invite me personally.

  • But you're inviting everybody --

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Anyone who wants to do it. Yeah.

  • -Well, actually, with our crocodiles,

  • we've caught over 150.

  • And I know that you can't come with us

  • because you'll be doing the show.

  • But we've decided that the first crocodile

  • that we're going to catch,

  • we are going to name Jimmy Fallon, after you.

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • -Really?

  • -Yes. Absolutely. -No way.

  • -And you can actually go online.

  • -And I can check on him and stuff?

  • -You can track Jimmy Fallon.

  • You can see exactly where he goes.

  • It'll be awesome.

  • -It's like Twitter except for alligators.

  • Yeah. You can track where --

  • -Yes. Exactly.

  • -Yes. Exactly. You're totally right. Yeah.

  • -I'm honored. That's so cool.

  • All right, Robert, what did you bring me today?

  • Let's see some animals.

  • -All right. First up we've got actually

  • a very cute and fluffy animal to start with.

  • This is Joe.

  • And he's a North American badger.

  • He is really cool.

  • So the North American badgers... -Oh, honey badger.

  • -...as the name suggests --

  • -Yeah, badgers don't care. No. -Yeah. Exactly.

  • Now, they are similar to the honey badger.

  • -Is that hurting you at all?

  • -No, no, he's all good.

  • They are quite feisty.

  • In fact, in Africa,

  • the honey badger has been known to back down lions.

  • They have no fear at all.

  • -They really don't.

  • -Yeah, but I think you might actually be able to pet him

  • if you'd like.

  • There you go. Give him a little pet.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • He loves his pets. He really does.

  • There you go. -He just looked at me.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -I don't like this part. -There you go.

  • Yep. He feels like I thought he would, too.

  • -He's soft. And you see he's got that really loose skin.

  • So if an animal were to grab him,

  • he can turn around and bite them.

  • Yeah, it's really cool.

  • -How is he allowed to be here?

  • [ Laughter ]

  • How old is he? -He's fine. He's a young one.

  • So he's only about a month old.

  • So he's not going to do too much damage.

  • -That is a beautiful animal.

  • -But we can feed him if you'd like.

  • -Sure.

  • -We've got a little plate of food there.

  • -And he's omnivorous,

  • so he'll eat plants and he'll also eat little animals as well.

  • So if you pop that right there.

  • Oh, gave me a little nip. There we go.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • There you go.

  • -There you go, pal. Look at that.

  • He lifted the plate up himself and everything.

  • Isn't that wild?

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -And you can see his nose there.

  • He's got a really acute sense of smell.

  • So he can detect anything from, like, a little animal,

  • like a bird or maybe a little insect.

  • They're really, really good that way.

  • And see those little claws there, too?

  • They're great at digging.

  • And when he gets older, in the wild,

  • he would actually build a den underground and dig it out.

  • -Yeah. -It's fascinating.

  • -He can back down a lion, you said?

  • -Yeah. Yeah, so if he --

  • [ Laughter ]

  • If he catches a food item, nothing takes it off him.

  • -I think we're ready to get rid of him.

  • -Yeah, okay. -Great to see him.

  • It was great to see him. -Thank you.

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • There we go.

  • -All right. -It's pretty exciting.

  • -Yeah.

  • Do you have anything like stuffed animals or like toys?

  • Like, plush animals?

  • -Not this time, sorry. -No, okay, yeah.

  • -But we've got a really special one.

  • This is a reptile this time.

  • -Okay. -And this is Donatella.

  • And Donatella is an alligator snapping turtle.

  • Isn't he amazing?

  • So, he's very young.

  • He's only about two years old at the moment.

  • But you're welcome to hold him.

  • -Where do I hold him?

  • -Just down there.

  • Make sure you don't get anywhere near his mouth

  • because he's got quite a bite on him.

  • But this one --

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -Why would you hand him to me?

  • -When they get full grown,

  • they'll easily just be able to bite through human bone.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • He's only about two years old.

  • -Ah, he's moving his neck!

  • Wait. How long is his neck? How long is his neck?

  • -You'll be good. You'll be good.

  • -He's moving his neck.

  • Ah! Ah! Ah! Robert, take him!

  • -All right. All right.

  • -God, save yourself. Gosh.

  • He was -- Look at that. Oh, my gosh.

  • -He's only about two years old.

  • We've got one that's 100 years old, full grown

  • that is ready to meet you.

  • Does that sound good?

  • -A 100-year-old snapping turtle?

  • 100-year-old snapping turtle, alligator snapping turtle.

  • -I'd love to see him.

  • And his name is Sheldon. All right, come on out, Sheldon.

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • Awesome.

  • So, this is one that you would definitely not want to get

  • anywhere near his mouth.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -Look at that. Oh, my.

  • -You can see just there, on the end of his tongue,

  • he's got this thing called the lingual lure,

  • and it looks a bit like a worm.

  • So, he'll cram himself underwater in a little crevice

  • and wiggle it around so, like, a little fish might think

  • it's a food item.

  • And then it will swim right up into his mouth

  • and then all of a sudden -- wham -- he grabs the fish.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • It is astonishing.

  • -We were both making the same face at one point.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -How cool is he?

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • That's awesome. Isn't he just like a dinosaur?

  • -I can't believe I was afraid of that little guy.

  • Yeah, Donatella, please.

  • You're a joke, Donatella, please. Grow up.

  • One day, you wish, you wish.

  • -In 100 years, that's what it'll look like.

  • -In 100 years, yeah, I'll see you in 100 years, buddy, please.

  • -Well, thank you very much, Sheldon.

  • -Bye, Sheldon. -See you later, mate.

  • -Take care, buddy. Well done, well done.

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • -Awesome. -Well done.

  • -That is great. -You have more stuff?

  • -Yes! Oh, absolutely! Okay. So, for this one,

  • I want you to come around to the front of the desk.

  • All right. So, we're going to come around.

  • I'll grab this bottle.

  • Now, you're welcome just to go on, like,

  • on your hands and knees right here.

  • You can just kneel down like this.

  • You're fine. You'll be fine. It's all good.

  • -I know. This is just --

  • -And we're about to meet Hazel.

  • So come on out, Hazel.

  • -See, it sounds like a cute name,

  • and it's probably going to be something that frightens.

  • -No, it is very cute. Here she is.

  • So, Hazel is a baby kangaroo.

  • [ Audience awws ]

  • What do you think?

  • What do you think? Do you want your bottle?

  • There you go.

  • Oh, isn't she great?

  • [ Applause ]

  • So, these are from --

  • -How old is this baby?

  • -She's actually only about eight months at the moment.

  • She's a joey. She's a baby kangaroo.

  • And these guys, of course, occur in Australia.

  • If you'd like to come around,

  • you can actually hold this bottle and feed her.

  • So come around to this side.

  • -Be very careful.

  • She's like a little...

  • -There you go.

  • -Like a little bunny rabbit kind of thing.

  • -Yeah. It's like an oversized bunny rabbit.

  • And she's actually quite small, but she will get a lot bigger.

  • This particular species is the red kangaroo.

  • And they're the largest kangaroo species.

  • And you can see those legs.

  • That's what helps them jump.

  • They can jump 30 feet in one single leap.

  • It's astonishing. There we go.

  • -She's staring me down.

  • -I think she's got all her milk.

  • -What do they eat if people aren't out there

  • with bottles of milk?

  • -Just grass. Just grass. It's okay.

  • -Okay, good. -But I think she's done.

  • What you can do is if you kind of lightly blow in her face,

  • like this, that's kind of how you introduce yourself.

  • -Blow on her face? -Yeah, blow in her face.

  • -Hazel, thank you for...

  • -[ Laughing ] No.

  • -No. Right?

  • She doesn't want to.

  • [ Audience awws ]

  • -She gives you a little kiss.

  • -That's pretty cute. She gave you a kiss.

  • -She's so cute.

  • -All right, Hazel, thank you for coming on the show.

  • I appreciate it.

  • -Thank you. Bye-bye. -We'll see you soon. Oh.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -I just want to blow on it. I didn't know what to do.

  • Okay, good.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • All right, good.

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • That was nerve-racking as well. -All right.

  • Actually, how about we come around one more time,

  • because this animal --

  • I want you to just sit here in front of the desk.

  • This one can be a little bit feisty.

  • -This one is going to attack me. I know it. I can feel it.

  • -So, I want you to just grab this bottle.

  • -Okay. -Okay.

  • -Yeah.

  • -Now, the animal that I'm about to get out --

  • -I don't drink this bottle, no. This is for the animal.

  • -The animal that I'm about to bring out, it's amazing.

  • They are an African animal.

  • They can get up to 300 pounds,

  • and they've been known to kill adult lions.

  • They are amazing. All right. Here we go.

  • Are you ready?

  • -We might have to go to commercial.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -Ready for this? Here we go. -Yeah.

  • Let's pop this here.

  • All right, come on out, guys.

  • -Oh, no. What are they?

  • -They're baby warthogs.

  • They're so cute.

  • You can give them a bottle.

  • -How many of them are there?

  • -There are three of them in here.

  • There you go. Have your milk.

  • Now, these guys are really, really young.

  • They're only a couple months old.

  • But when they are full grown,

  • as I said, they'll get up and over 300 pounds in weight.

  • -300 pounds each.

  • -Aren't they incredible? -This is amazing.

  • -We've got Eenie, Meanie, and Miny.

  • -Oh, my gosh!

  • They've got very cute names.

  • And when they get older, they'll develop these tusks.

  • [ Laughs ]

  • And the tusk is what helps them dig underground.

  • They love eating tree roots.

  • -They're tough already.

  • This one's like really getting into this nipple here. Yeah.

  • -Yeah. Aren't they wild?

  • So, the warthogs are just amazing.

  • They're one of my favorite animals.

  • -Miny, come here. Is this Meanie or Miny?

  • -That's Miny. -Miny.

  • Robert, thank you so much

  • for coming on and bringing these animals.

  • -This is always a treat for us. -Oh, totally. No worries.

  • Robert Irwin, everybody.

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • Robert Irwin.

-Robert, it's always good to see you.
