  • I love your stuff. I see your shows and stuff like that.

  • And I loved your dad so much, Steve Irwin.

  • Thank you.

  • This is the cutest. It's you and your dad.

  • It is. Yeah. Aww. So that's actually a little green iguana.

  • And they love flowers. They love the hibiscus flowers.

  • It's like catnip for them. They just love it!

  • This is so cool to see you like this. You're actually your dad!

  • I mean, this is like...you're so excited!

  • My dad was actually on this Tonight Show, quite a while ago.

  • So it's really nice to be able to follow in his footsteps.

  • It's really great.

  • This means a lot to me. I'm so happy you're here...I love your enthusiasm.

  • You love animals. You love the wildlife.

  • Absolutely! You know that...it's just in my blood.

  • My family and I were...I've actually grown up at Australia Zoo.

  • So I think I'm the luckiest kid on planet Earth.

  • I know. Look at this. Growing up with...this is your buddy.

  • Yeah, this is the beautiful Siam, the Elephant. She's very cute.

  • You guys host a fundraiser every year, in your dad's honor.

  • We do. Yeah, so it's called the Steve Irwin Gala Dinner.

  • And this year, it's in LA, on May 13th.

  • And it's all about celebrating everything that Dad loved.

  • And it's a really big fundraiser to raise money for Wildlife Warriors.

  • So we're encouraging everyone to come and join us.

  • -He did so much. You do so much. The family. -Thank you so much.

  • wildlifewarriors.org

  • You brought some animals with you tonight.

  • Yes, we did.

  • I'm a little...gotta be honest...I'm a little afraid of animals so...

  • That's alright. We'll help you overcome your fear.

  • Thank you.

  • Okay...that looks dangerous.

  • Alright, so...

  • Are we having a...is that a picnic?

  • -No, not quite. -We're just gonna eat together.

  • So, this one...this is Beetlejuice, the African Dwarf crocodile.

  • -Isn't he just amazing? -Yeah. -He's gorgeous. -Okay...

  • Now, would you like to pat it? Would you like to give him a little pat?

  • Yeah, does he have teeth inside?

  • -Yeah, he does. -He does have teeth? He does.

  • But my dad called them "frogs with sharp teeth". You've got nothing to worry about.

  • -Okay... -Here you go, you pat him on the tail.

  • But you're not gonna move, right?

  • No, no. We'll be all good. We'll be all good.

  • There you go. Well done!

  • That's amazing. Good job!

  • These crocodiles are amazing 'cause they're just like modern-day dinosaurs.

  • -They're so special. -You're so cool. I love you.

  • Yeah, aren't they amazing? Don't you love his little eyes?

  • Yeah, I like the dots on his mouth.

  • Yeah, it's like a little leopard. It's amazing.

  • -Beautiful. -Alright, so...

  • Is he going to grow up and become, like, a giant?

  • Well, he'll only be about five feet. So not too massive.

  • But, back in Australia, we've got the saltwater crocodile,

  • and they grow to about 16 feet in length. -That's ridiculous.

  • -They're massive. -That is ridiculous. -They are huge.

  • Well, nice meeting you.

  • -Yeah, bye. -Bye, buddy. Bye!

  • Thank you, Beetlejuice.

  • Alright, what else do we got?

  • -Ok, so, next up, we've got another really fun animal. -Ok.

  • -Hey, this is Mickey. This is Mickey. -He's really cute! Oh my...

  • He's a screaming armadillo. How cute is he?

  • Oh my god. He looks like Donald Trump toupee.

  • Awww. It's true. It's true.

  • I've never seen the other side of it...yeah, but that's it!

  • But he's amazing. So he's an armadillo, and you can see that armor plating that he has.

  • And his defense mechanism is to make this wild, screaming noise.

  • So I'm going to give him a little tickle 'cause when he tickles, sometimes he has a little talk.

  • What do you think? Let's see. Do you want to give him a little tickle?

  • -Sure. -On his little belly?

  • No, he loves it. It's ok. There you go.

  • Oh, good job!

  • -He's pushing away. -I bet he is.

  • -Is that what he does? -Well, you want make a little noise?

  • -What do you think? What do you think? No? -Yeah, he made it.

  • Well, you know, his mother is very good at making him talk.

  • So, what do you think? Jamie, do you want to come on up? Thank you.

  • -You're his mother? -Yeah. Yeah, there you go.

  • Alright so, just be warned. It's very loud and it doesn't stop.

  • -Okay. -Alright, ready?

  • -It's like a car alarm. -Oh my god.

  • -Aw, he's really cute! -Isn't he amazing?

  • -I'm sorry, buddy. -He's like a little baby. -He really is cute. I want one. I know. I know.

  • -He's got a lot to say. -He's got a lot to say. I do love him.

  • Ok, alright, we'll get him some food. Oh I love him.

  • -That's great. -That's awesome. -I love him.

  • So, the next animal...I want you to come around for this one.

  • -Is that ok? Ok. -Yeah, ok, I'm just worried I'll get nervous.

  • -So this next one is a lot of fun. It's one of my favorite animals. -Yeah.

  • -And her name is Lady. -Of course it's Lady. -She's so cute.

  • No, they trick you with the names and it's, like, an evil thing.

  • -Aww, you'll love it. She's beautiful. -It's got to (be) like a giant.

  • -Here she is. -What is it? What is it? What is it?

  • -Hi Lady. -Ah, no...

  • -You want to hold it? -No! AHAHA...AHA. -Oh, good job. -Ooh..Gosh...

  • Well, she's actually...I think she's maybe constricting you a little bit, so that's good.

  • Yeah, she is. This is like...I can feel it squeezing. It's like...

  • -Yeah, this is the red-tailed boa. -She's trying to kill me. -They're amazing.

  • No, you'll be fine. But they do have an interesting way of catching their prey.

  • They go in this "S" position, and then all of a sudden, they strike and grab their prey, coil around it, and that's how they kill them.

  • -Oh, yeah... -Isn't that just fascinating?

  • I feel it's in the "S" position right now. I feel like that's the letter "S", if i know my uncle that well.

  • -There you go. -No, he's squeezing my hand.

  • Alright, how about this? Ok, now he's squeezing me. Alright, you got it?

  • -I don't want you or me getting squeezed. Yeah, we're good.

  • -OH NOOO!!! Get away from me! Absolutely not. -That's all good.

  • -Thank you very much. -Good job.

  • Thank you, buddy. Alright, buddy. There you go. There you go. Now I'm squeezing you.

  • -Now I'm squeezing him. -That was no easy thing.

  • -I started squeezing him. I didn't know what to do. It was my defense mechanism. -Yeah, exactly.

  • When he comes on the show, I literally tried to squeeze him.

  • -Alright, so next, I think I'm going to do something a little more cute and fluffy for you. -Let's do it.

  • -Alright, so let's come on down here. -Yeah, let's go.

  • -And this is a beautiful animal. -Oh no...oh yess...

  • and from the National Aviary. -I love sloths.

  • This is Valentino, and he's a little 8-pound baby sloth. And aww, he's just beautiful.

  • So I'm going to grab some vegetables. He loves his veggies.

  • Where do you find this type of animal?

  • -So, these ones actually occur in South America. He's got really soft fur, and he loves his veggies. -He does?

  • -But the interesting thing with these guys, as you can see, he's hanging upside down. -Yeah.

  • And they're very good at climbing.

  • In fact, they spend pretty much all of their life in a tree.

  • And they're the slowest moving mammal on the planet.

  • -Oh really? -Yeah. -You've got to see me at the gym. -It's just wild.

  • Here you go. You want a carrot? You've got to pat him.

  • -There you go. So soft, isn't he? -He really is. Oh, I love him.

  • This is an 8-pound sloth and he doesn't like to be held.

  • But I've got a 25-pound sloth who loves cuddles, so this is Serenity.

  • So you can just...so she'll just wrap around you.

  • -What do I do? -There you go. -I don't know. Am I good? -Feed it a little grape.

  • Well done. She loves grapes.

  • You know what, I think it's official.

  • You are the "sloth whisperer". You're amazing.

  • I figured it's a good time that you're leaving. I would like to go.

  • Oh, she's starting to eat me. That's not good.

  • Now what does she think? Does she think I'm a tree right now? A talking tree?

  • Yeah, I think so. I think she really likes you. She really does. And it's amazing.

  • -She likes grapes? -Yeah, she does. That's actually her favorite food.

  • -The other one likes veggies. She likes grapes. -Yeah, loves grapes.

  • And she'll actually, occasionally, eat a little egg as well.

  • Can you see it? I'm going to stand that way.

  • -Do you want a little grape? There you go. -Can you see her eating? It's really cute.

  • Now, these ones are so funny because they're actually so slow-moving that moss and algae can actually grow on their fur.

  • -Is that right? -Yeah, it's pretty crazy, isn't it? -Get it together! -It's just wild.

  • -I love this. I love you. Thank you for bringing all these fun animals, and gosh, what a treat, man! -Thank you.

  • -So fun. -Robert Irwin, everybody. We'll be right back.

I love your stuff. I see your shows and stuff like that.
