anteater

s. And you can see they have this wild looking head. They have a tongue that is 16 inches long. And that's what helps them eat. -It has a very interesting smell. -It does, yes. And that's actually sometimes - they use it as a kind of defense mechanism in the wild.

He will use that smell to... -Yes. Alright. Okay, no, he's going for the orange. -He's going for the orange. What do you think, friend? -You like that orange. -It has. -He is looking at him. He's interested. -Yes, I don't know what to do here. Robert, I don't know how to help you here. -Where is the? Ah, there he is. -Tamandua? Here we go. -Here we go. -We did it. -Oh no. Oh no. -He has you now. -Oh! Oh. Very good, oh. That one... Very good. I think he's... It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. -Okay, I got it. -Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! -Are you OK.

Are you OK. -Are you OK. -He's biting me! He is itching me. He's scratching me. -Okay, there you have it. -Alright. Get it out of here. -They have big claws. -I love him, I love him, I love him. -Well done. Alright. Here you go, friend. -Yes Yes. Get it, yeah. -Here we go. You got it? Oh. Isn't that amazing? They're great. -Yes, I guess it was incredible. -They are a beautiful animal. -Still here. Yes. That was amazing. -You did it well. -Yes, wow! -Okay, yes! -They have a strong grip. -It is not like this? -Boy Oh boy.

It got good a little... -They are climbers. That's why they are so strong. -It's true, man. Yes. Wow wow wow. -You did it well. You stood your ground. I was impressed. -I didn't do it well, but I'll tell you about it later. Alright, who else do we have? "Okay then, next one..." "Wasn't that Butterscotch?" -No. -That wasn't Butterscotch, no. -Well. -So, for the next one, I want you to come to the front and know what we are going to do... - Oh, my God! -Let's try something a little different now. -Well. -What are we going to do... -Okay, friend. -The whole street down.

We're going to lie face down, because these are... -Okay, Robert. Oh man. -Okay, here we go. -Hey man. -So, these animals really need to get to know you first. So, let's take out Usain and Attila. -Well. -So come out, guys. This is Usain. Hey friend! And there's Attila right behind you. Oh! There is. Hi guys. These are leopard cubs. -Are these leopards? - So, these are little baby leopards. Aren't they amazing? Hi guys! They are so cute, aren't they? -Yes Yes Yes Yes. -Hey, friend. Oh. He is wandering. -I'm still... They're small, but I'm still... I mean, the

anteater

almost got me, so I'm worried about the leopard. -Oh, they're going everywhere. -Yes, no problem.

This is good. -You can get up now. Are you OK. -Yes, I don't want to... I don't need to have a leopard... Yes, okay, okay. Oh, wow. -These kids are only a few months old. -Hi guys. Oh really? -They will grow to be quite large in size, and leopards are actually pound for pound the most powerful feline. Isn't it amazing? They are really powerful. They have been known to drag dead animals they have killed. Oh, here we go. Dead animals that have been killed on top of a tree. -Alright? -They are that strong. -Isn't it incredible? -That's just amazing. -But they are also very playful. -Well ok.

That's perfect. Love you very much. -Aren't they impressive? -Did you bring a bird or something like that? Something funny... like something... There's something... like a little, little... No, it's okay. Do you have the other boy? -Are you OK? Alright. Here we go. Okay, next time, we'll come down here. -Well. -This is very exciting. So follow me. Here we go. And this really interesting animal is the prehensile-tailed porcupine. Truly amazing. So what I'm going to do is give you some peanuts. And this is from the wonderful Turtle Back Zoo. So what you're going to do is give him some peanuts...

His name is actually Peanut. So she loves them. And then you give him that peanut. There you have it, and then if you put your face up to their nose, that's how they greet each other. So that's what you do. -That's how they greet each other, but I'm not one of those. -You can put your face up to par. -I do not know, man. -Look, she loves you. -Oh. Oh! Me, me! -Here. -Hey! Hey! Yeah, I don't know if I like this at all. -Are you OK. Are you OK. Are you OK. -I'm fine, right? You did this. -Alright.

So what will we do? -Okay then, yes. -So you put your face up there. -Roberto, be careful. Goodness. -Hey friend. Wow, hello. So, see those amazing spikes on them? -Yeah. -That is his defense mechanism. So if an animal were to try to grab them, they're very sharp, very, very long and pointy, and that's a very good way to make them, make those predators definitely not want to eat. them. -Oops. -But they don't spread... They don't shoot their... Uh-oh. They don't shoot their spikes, do they? -She's just going to go explore. -Look, I have a peanut. -No, he does not do it.

Here you have. Look, it's a peanut. And do you see that tail? It is a prehensile tail that helps them climb. -Oh, oh, oh, come here. Hello. Look. Peanut, peanut. Peanut? -There you go. Have some peanuts. Oooh. -Yes very good. Wow, how beautiful... -How pretty she is. -Beautiful animal. Oh my God. -She is wonderful. She has left. She's done. -Let her go backstage with the team there. I think you might want to bring her, yeah, just make sure she's okay. -Oooh. I think she's going to try to eat the curtains. -Yeah, just... Wow, that's kind of amazing. -Oh, isn't it incredible?

That prehensile tail is amazing, isn't it? -Alright. -That will work. -Alright. That will work. Alright. Now... Ugh... Are we in Butterscotch? -Yeah. Next is the caramel. So what we're going to do is move over here a little bit. Let's go this way and I want some of The Roots to come help us with this. -Yeah! That would totally be a good idea! Come on! There you go! -It's going to be good. -Come on man! -Come on. Yes. No. Come on, Quest. Come on. You can do it. -So if you come this way. -Tariq, you will. -Then what we will do is that we all line up like this.

Now, what you want to do is, if you go that way, because I'll get to the head, and what we're going to do... -The head? Wait, what... what is candy? -You will see. So, do you remember last time, that little bird we had, that little toucan that was so cute? I think this animal is even cuter. This is the cutest animal in the world. This is candy. Very prepared? Let's extend our hands. Okay, come out, Butterscotch. -Oh no! -Oh! -Oh, isn't she beautiful? Hey friend! Oooh! - -So, Butterscotch is a Burmese python. How amazing is she?

Hey friend! Hey! -That's crazy. -Oooh. And it's surprising, because this Burmese python... -You feel that. -Yeah. -...he's albino. They have that beautiful kind of yellow coloration. They are usually dark brown in color. But this one is really beautiful yellow. And they are found throughout Southeast Asia. -How big is this python? -Well, this... They actually get a little bigger. They will stand and measure over 20 feet long. Isn't it amazing? They are the third largest snake ever seen. How cool is that? -I'm just thinking about running away right now. -Isn't it incredible? And they are really nice and soft.

They are beautiful animals. -You can feel all that muscle. It's just all... -Yes. They're very muscular, and that's because they're... -Oh, man. Check it out. -Look. Do you want to say hello? Hey! -No, we... No. We are more email friends. Yes. We don't really like to say hello in person. -That's ok. -Friend, I love you and thank you very much for bringing all these fantastic animals. -Oh do not worry. -It's always very fun. Happy Thanksgiving Day. Robert Irwin, everyone! More "Tonight Show" after the break. Stay.
