Dave Salmoni Scares Jimmy Kimmel with Wild Animals

Our next guest loves

animals

, even the ones you can't eat. He is a zoologist and television presenter and has been bitten on almost every inch of his body. You guys have a lot in common with Animal Planet. Please, welcome. Dave Salmon can see it. Wow, look. this adorable little creature, holy cow, that's weird, that's weird, he's a tamandua, a lesser foreeater and the only thing you'll notice now is that his claws are deeply dug into my back. Does it hurt a little? I can help you with something? way, pull him a little away from my back, don't put your mouth close to me, he won't bite, it's okay, it's okay, I think okay, yeah, can you see it, yeah, I see it, oh yeah, I see it, I'll see it In my nightmares later, we'll leave them hanging there for two seconds, obviously the first thing you'll notice with these guys is that they're aerial

animals

, they hang from trees, which is what he's trying to do, so he's trying to get up and behind.

I'm trying to help him here I have a prehensile tail oh there we go oh man I should have used a chain link I would love for you to hold him but I don't know, no, no, I'm not going to do it. hug it, there you go, no, I know you, they want you to lose that itchy shirt, here we go, okay, yeah, that's better so those claws I was talking about can see those things, that's their great defense, I mean, obviously, they can. use them to grab onto tree branches and things like that, but if they feel threatened, who threatens them?

Well, anything that's in the trees, these guys, you know, they'll sit here and hang by their tail. I'll show you. Do they really eat eat ants and eat? Yes, absolutely, so this guy can eat up to 9,000 ants in a day. Oh, I eat it in my kitchen, it can hang like this and then obviously another big thing that you'll start to notice is. this big snout and that snout is kind of an extra tool that it can get into, you know, nice crevices and stuff like that, and it's really hurting you right now. I can see what I mean, it really hurts you here, well those claws are nice.

Seriously, so when it grows up, your natural back scratcher will really grab you, they'll never let you go, those big claws there, yeah, it hasn't had a chance to hold it. He loves holding it. I think Jimmy wants to hold it. I think Dave lost. a nipple in that exchange I feel like I might have some I think you're probably bleeding I'm probably bleeding all over yeah, that's probably true now this guy is a little nicer uh, I hope this is from two cans oh, now extend your arm okay, this It's going to bite me or do something funny, no, no, just give me your arm, we hope it comes up, come up, there you go, there you go, you're a bird guy, look how relaxed I absolutely am, so number one is what you don't do.

I don't want to do, don't wave anything in his face, I won't because he'll get scared and run away, uh, obviously what you'll notice with the toucan is that big beak that we all know, kiss it. See you can kiss why he looks no I don't want to kiss you he might think my nose is a nut or something what's that noise he's making now he's just telling you she's saying hello do you want to hug him hello , oh, it's a she. Hello, yes, it's a she. I didn't know now the other thing while Johnny holds now look at your face but if you want him to bite you yeah obviously the bigger spikes look more dangerous but they are not as powerful so even if he gets bitten they won't bite him so strong, yes, shorter wings, not really a big flyer, so lives in trees, gets a lot of fruit, will jump from branch to branch, yes, be careful, I'm just Petty.

You know they're like if you put a box of Froot Loops in front of him? Would he go? Here you will bring me some fruit. Bring me some fruit from there. You have a fruit dog. Yes, now give me this. Now show it and then throw it away I thought it was a greeting from her, a straight shave, show it like hey look at that now look at that now throw it away hey wow oh look that's a good girl wow that's cool show it there you go, a Chinko machine , wait, hey, why didn't they know how to do this?

I mean, it's not like monkeys are throwing fruits at them in the

wild

, well, they have to be pretty good. with like her beak eye coordination because they're going to be on branches hey good girl wow that's very good coordination boy beig here John you want to throw you want TOS one there you go give me give me a big grape give me a grape uh she probably won't understand, can you try it, no, oh, give me a hold, okay, we'll throw it to you, oh, he just wants it, oh, you want it, oh, interesting, I thought you were just hungry, you want me to take it, Johnny, there, wow. that's pretty good, I like it, you know, I like safe animals that are colorful and friendly, look, I try, I tried to bring you cute stuffed animals this time, oh no, no, no, just give it straight to Jimmy, that's a good one really dangerous looking girl like me.

I know he's funny and all, but he seems like a dangerous animal to have on my desk. No, you're fine. Come up here. You can pat it. Here you are bleeding. Why am I fine? Aacle, this is a caracle. you're not bleeding from the caracle, you're breathing from the least dangerous animal, so obviously, the caracle, one thing I love to point out, obviously, are these big tough guys, they're like a lynx that you remember as the North American lins. yeah, very, very similar, these guys are weirder in the desert, this is looking at me, I don't want to pet him, come on Jimmy, your show, pet him, his head seems too small for the rest of his body, actually, don't you insults, friend.

I really am, but the smaller head is actually an adaptation to stronger muscles, so the shorter the jaw muscles, the better the bite. This guy is one of the top predators in the

wild

, when he really sees something he wants to eat, very few things can. Stay away from that now, it's like a cat, what does it eat, mice and stuff like that. They can make anything smaller. Then come here, friend. Does he kill for fun? Like cats do. Well, because the defense against the predator is very far away. more um, an instinct, so they don't always hunt because they're hungry, they hunt because they can kill something that I see and and so and like something like this, can you give it to them?

If you gave him catnip he would just roll around and go crazy, no this guy probably wouldn't know some of them like catnip, oh sorry, curled up, obviously they're not like house cats and the one thing you'll obviously notice with this big harness with the big harness yeah it's obviously looks like it could be a good pet but these things are actually pretty aggressive terrible pets I always bring the animals here and tell them they never make good pets yeah okay , and they still want me to pet them, they can pet them, yeah, come on. You can sit him on your lap if you want, look how cute he is.

I don't want to touch it, it's scaring me. I know another fun thing is that you can see how big his butt is, because he's a great jumper. actually pull birds out of the air really come on, little one could eat a can of two can we feed him a can of two? Can I give it to Jimmy? Jimmy don't want it, yeah you don't wanna catch him, why did I leave Johnny Knoxville? stay out of this segment it's good to see you taking care of yourself man if you don't like that guy the next one will probably be something you really don't like yeah you know I'm actually less afraid of this one because I think it seems like. slower this guy, yeah that's the trick they make you look slow, but they're not in any way, why do we jump here?

Oh no, they can't leave Johnny if you stay on this side of her. she can see you hello I should throw a blueberry to Jimmy come here no no don't throw anything at this guy come and this is your good distance if you take the body length of the crocodile that's kind of the distance of blow and the way his brain works, although it seems that he is there small and very slow if you get close to his striking distance, what's more, come on, Jimmy, come on, I'm calling, I'll call 911, okay, okay, we don't want to scare the crocodile we don't want to scare the crocodile I didn't tell you it's a Nile crocodile now you don't want to get too close I'll probably have to put like a little waistband on you and it will bite you Why do you love this so much?

What's the matter? Yes, she is spicy. She can tell she wants to bite you now. The only thing about these guys you'll notice, Jimmy, if you look, I know you're pretty far away. I won't, I can see it from here. I'm at home watching this on TV right now. These guys are these guys are Ambush Predators, so you look at the top of their head, those bumps behind their eyes, those are where their ears are. Yes, the eyes are there and the nose is on the top of the head so the whole body can go underwater and they can stay there for up to six months and then wait for someone like Johnny to come take a photo.

They drink and then they finish, they don't react at all, yeah, wow, yeah, no, well you know what Dave, you've done it again, whatever it is, you've done it again, you're bleeding again and you're. Dave Salmon, everyone watch Monster Week on Animal Planet. Continues until next Monday night. We will be back soon with music of the time.
