-Thank you. I feel like this is my second home now.

It's awesome. -Right. It should be.

We love having you on.

Cause I love... -Yes.

-I mean, last time you were here, we had...

-Yeah. -...Kevin Hart was here.

-[ Laughing ] We did. That was a lot of fun.

-And I asked him to stay out and play with the animals.

-Yeah. -And he said, "I hate animals."

[ Laughter ] Or, oh, no -- actually, he goes,

"I like animals. I'm afraid of them."

-All right. That's okay. That's all right.

-And he had -- oh, my gosh. It was the funniest.

-Yeah. I like to think maybe we helped him,

a little bit, overcome his fear. -Maybe.

-A bit more comfortable.

But, I mean, for me, it was really cool

because we actually reached over 100 million people on Facebook,

so for me, what a great... -Yeah.

It was the number-one trend on YouTube.

[ Cheers and applause ] -Yeah, thank you so much.

-100 million people. -Yeah, it was awesome.

And for me, that's just such a great way

to get the -- the message of wildlife and conservation

out to so many people, so thank you so much.

It was awesome. -No, are you kidding me?

Thank you right back to you. -You, as well. Thanks, guys.

-Yes. -"Crikey! It's the Irwins."

-You've got to say, "Crikey! It's the Irwins."

-"Crikey! It's the Irwins." -"Crikey! It's the Irwins."

So, are you ready for the first animal?

-Yeah, here we go. Absolutely, we love it.

-Okay, we've got two of them coming up here.

-Okay. -So, this is Ping and Pong,

and they are absolutely adorable.

Hey, guys!

Hello! Hello, guys! [ Otters squeaking ]

-Take your body and kind of...

-Yeah, you can hold them really nice and tight in there.

These are otters.

These are actually little, baby otters.

That's great. [ Otters squeaking ]

So, see those... -Oh, my gosh.

-...those little vocalizations that they're making?

-Yes. -Now, that's actually --

Oh, he's eating you a little bit.

-All right, watch it. Ohh.

-That's how they communicate with one another.

Now, Asian small-clawed otters --

these are the smallest otters in the entire world.

Whoops. -He's eating...

-He's eating -- He's eating you now.

-...the microphone, yeah.

-Now, these guys are really cool.

They're from Asia. They're amazing.

And they've actually got -- I think he loves me.

-I think it's cute, but you never know.

The -- The squeaks.

-They're still babies. -Yeah.

-So they will get a lot bigger than this.

All right, here we go. [ Laughter ]

-They'll get bigger, yes. Okay. -They will. They will.

-Oh, my goodness. -Aren't they just so special?

-Yep. Okay. -Here.

Let me put your mic back -- mic back on.

-Hi. Yeah. -There we go.

-He's gonna find it again. -Oh, my goodness.

-Hi, buddy Ping, buddy Pong.

-Ping and Pong. -Hi, buddy.

-Now, they actually have the finest fur in the world.

Oh, he's giving you a kiss.

-I think he almost bit -- or bit me.

He almost bit me or kissed me. -Oh, they're so -- so cute.

-Hey, buddy. I love them. -Congratulations.

Well done. Well done. [ Laughter ]

-I'm not squeezing him or anything, I swear.

-Thanks, Ping and Pong.

-I'm just holding him, and that's all.

All right, I'm ready to get Ping and Pong...

-All right, we're good? Okay. -Thank you for this.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Thank you very much. -Oh, my God.

-Oh, my God. Thank you. -Thank you very much.

-Ohh, gosh. -How cute are they?

Are you -- Are you all good? -Yeah, I'm great.

I love -- Yeah, that's fantastic.

-That's good. Okay.

So, next, for this next one,

I think we're gonna come around again.

We're gonna sit down here.

And I'm gonna grab a few pieces here for you of sweet potato.

-Mm-hmm. Oh, man.

-This next animal loves sweet potatoes,

so if you want to sit down... -Oh, okay. Okay. Oh, no.

-...and then, you can put... [ Laughter ]

-I can see what's kind of coming.

-You can put your legs out like this.

-Oh, gosh.

-Now, you want to hold the sweet potato just here,

so they don't bite your fingers. -Oh, no.

What do you mean they won't bite my fingers --

hold it like this? -So, it'll -- it'll be good.

-I don't know. -It'll be good, I promise.

-What do I do with that? -You can grab that one, as well,

and you can feed them. -Oh, no.

-They love sweet potato. -All right.

-All right, so, we've got Quill Smith and Quilly Nelson.

And you'll see their names in a second.

Come on in, guys.

These are porcupine. -All righty.

[ Laughter ] Good to see you.

-Hello. -Okay. What do I...

-There you go. -Now, can I...

-Have a go at that.

So, now, these guys -- they're African --

[ Laughter ] He's curling up now.

These are African crested porcupines,

the largest rodent in the continent of Africa.

-Okay, this might be the most dangerous thing I've ever done.

-And see those spines there? Yeah.

That's actually -- That's their defense mechanism.

If a predator is gonna get them,

they'll actually sink them right down into their skin.

And that's -- that's how they avoid predators.

They're amazing. -All right, all right.

-How cool is that? -Does he want --

Yeah, it's unbelievable. -And see how they're --

That shaking there means they're a little bit --

a little bit unhappy.

They're thinking, "Just what's going on?"

[ Laughter ]

But, see, once they've got that --

once they got the sweet potato, they're completely happy.

-They absolutely love it. -I can feel him eating it,

but I just... -That's great. How cool is that?

-Yeah, man. -Look at them go.

-Well, I'm just happy that I had kids,

you know... -So cool. Here you go.

-...when I -- when I... -Yeah. [ Laughs ]

What do you think, eh? -...when I could.

-Now, they'll get... [ Laughter ]

...they'll get a lot bigger, too.

When they're full-grown,

they could easily have a go at a lion.

If -- If -- If it's getting close,

they'll just stab right in with those quills.

[ Laughter ] How cool is that?

-All right, this is unbelievable.

-They're amazing, aren't they?

-It is a pleasure to meet you guys.

Oh, wow! My God! All right, all right, Robert.

-You're good. You're good.

All right, should we take them right now?

-Robert. Robert. Robert. -You're good. You're good.

-Robert. -All right, bye, guys.

-Robert. -Now...

-Be very careful, whatever happens next.

-I don't know how we're gonna get this.

Here. Let's see. -Okay.

-There we go. You're good now.

-All right, all right. This is great.

-All right. See you later, guys.

[ Laughs ] -Oh, my heavens.

All righty. Okay. -Are you good?

-That's -- That's not the carrot.

All right, here you go. [ Laughter ]

You're having -- the carrot's over here.

Here you go, buddy. Eat this.

Eat this. -[ Chuckling ] Okay.

-All right, good to see these guys.

Oh, my gosh. Yeah, I think --

[ Laughter ] -Wow, they really love it here.

-Security? Oh, no. Okay. -[ Laughing ] Okay.

All right, no worries. There we go.

-All right, yep. Okay, good.

-It's a bit of a challenge picking them up, as you can see.

-Ohh. Ohh, my gosh. -There we go.

-Yeah. -Well done, guys.

[ Cheers and applause ] Good job.

That was great. That was so cool.

Do you want me to grab your sweet potato for you?

-Yeah, that's what he was, yeah, going for.

-All right. No worries.

So, I think we're gonna stay down here for a little while.

[ Laughter ] Have a look at this guy.

Now, this is... -I'm not putting him in my lap.

I'm not. -This is a giant aardvark.

-I don't want to move. -And the aardvarks --

they are native to Africa, as well.

See those massive claws there?

That's what they use to dig.

So, they're really interesting animals.

They've got that big, long nose.

-Yeah. -And that's how they smell.

They've got a great sense of smell.

And the end of their nose actually looks a bit

like a marshmallow.

It's so cool.

-Has he -- Have we... -How special are they

-A random aardvark. -Big ears, great hearing.

-This is -- And, sorry.

I didn't even quite even hear what you were saying.

-Yes. -Is he an -- It's an aardvark --

It's an anteater?

-Yeah, so they'll -- they'll eat ants and termites.

And, yeah, they're great at digging.

They'll find a termite mound. They'll break into it.

But we've got a little mixture here,

and that's kind of a mix of squished insects and bugs,

and they absolutely love it.

See that? -Absolutely.

[ Laughter ] -It's really good.

So, it's actually really quite good for them.

They absolutely love this. -I can't believe it.

-So, we're gonna head down here now for this one.

We couldn't really fit this one on the stage.

-Okay. -So, this --

This is Debra -- This is Debra the Zebra.

-Oh, my goodness. -And I absolutely love Debra.

Do you want me to come around this side?

-Sure. -So...there we go.

-Debra the Zebra. Hi. How you doing?

-So, Debra the Zebra -- she's actually still quite young.

-Hi. -She's a young little zebra,

and she still loves her bottles.

Now, she's only about six months old.

You're welcome to pat her, though.

-Six months old? -She loves her pats, yeah.

-Oh, my gosh. -Now, these guys --

they use those stripes for camouflage.
