- You guys may not know this,
but Jay is terrified of big cats.
- Oh, that is huge.
No.
If I run, will it chase me?
- So today I'm at a cool sanctuary
that has a bunch of amazing animals.
If I could pull this off, by the end of the day,
Jay won't be terrified of cats.
- It's not gonna happen.
- [Brian] Okay, so Jay, coming on up.
- This one right here actually does not like me already.
- [Brian] Jay, come on, take it over here.
- Give me a second.
- [Brian] Pet it.
- I don't want to do that.
- [Brian] Come on, Jay.
- Can you call it first so I can watch it interact with you?
- [Brian] I don't know how I call it.
- Dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad.
(relaxing rhumba music)
(Brian laughing) Uncomfortable.
(suspenseful music)
(Steve clicking) (indistinct)
- [Steve] Laying down, you're good now.
It'll make the other one feel comfortable, so...
(suspenseful music)
- I did it.
- [Brian] That's not enough.
Get to know 'em a little bit.
These are amazing clouded leopards.
Are you ever gonna get a chance to see a clouded leopard
up close like this?
- When we come back here.
(tense music)
Oh sh-
(indistinct) - [Steve] Just stay calm.
- Please help me.
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please.
- [Brian] You're fine.
It's a beauty, look at how beautiful it is.
- I got a lot of dogs, sir.
(Brian chuckling)
- No chewing on people.
- [Brian] Okay, see?
- I am so sweaty.
- This is good.
- I feel better now that you're up here.
- What does that mean?
Like I wasn't gonna protect you?
Come on.
- No, this is good.
See, I can pet it on its head.
Don't look at it in the eyes. - [Brian] You can do it.
- It's so funny and I'm not entertained.
- You always wanna look him in the eyes.
As soon as you look away, you're like a meal.
- Sorry, I didn't let it do it, and I got scared.
Whoa!
Wow! - [Brian] How did that feel?
- Oh, it kind of hurts, though.
This is good.
We're good now.
(whimsical music) - [Narrator] One eternity--
- Get the cat.
I don't want to play.
I'm gonna go.
- I'm gonna give you a three second head start.
- Please just hold it.
- You wasted two seconds already.
- Well, I think that went pretty well.
(crickets chirping)
- Oh, I thought that I did good, but now I'm not excited,
now that it's gonna be more.
It does very cute things.
- [Brian] But let's not buy you.
Noah, what you think?
- Adorable.
I want one. - [Brian] How'd you think--
- Horribly. - [Brian] It was like?
- People are like, it's good, and my animal doesn't bite,
and it's all cool.
Whatever reason I'm always at like, "Wow!
"It's never done that before."
And then now I'm bit by a big cat.
- It's actually not too bad, you know?
'Cause all these little holes and stuff in my leg here,
that's from a lion, and that's just playing
- [Brian] It's a genet.
- Is it big or small?
- [Steve] Oh, good morning.
- [Brian] Oh, look at how beautiful it is!
(calm instrumental music)
Holding your breaths last minute.
- It did work actually.
Hey baby?
Don't freak out.
I touched its tail.
- [Brian] You didn't touch its tail.
(calm instrumental music) Hey, Jenny, hey.
- It's good.
I like this one.
- [Brian] You like this one? - Yeah.
- [Brian] It's cool, right? - [Jay] Yeah.
- [Brian] Ooh, don't bring it out--
- I love this one.
- [Brian] See, you're doing good.
Doesn't wanna be picked up.
- Genets are hard to handle.
They handle on their terms.
They're little claws are like little razor blades.
- Okay. - So they're fun as babies,
'cause they'll just run around you
and be on your shoulders all the time.
Like, we raised her in the shop,
so she stayed in the bengal cat room with everybody.
So everybody kept getting in there.
- [Brian] Jenny. - What's that?
- [Steve] That's good night.
- Hey Jenny.
And of course this is actually Jenny, the genet cat.
Absolutely wonderful cats.
This is full growing here.
So they don't get really large.
They've got that really elongated body.
Just really, really cool animals.
And surprisingly, this is,
I think Jay's making progress on this one.
- Honestly, I'm really starting to like it.
(tense music)
Oh! Whoa!
(tense music)
- That was not what I was expecting.
Oh, hey buddy?
No don't poop on me. - [Noah] What?
- Why is that in the house?
- [Noah] Dude, look at that thing.
- And now bump the head.
It's an introduction thing.
No, no.
Bump your head against his head.
See how he goes, where he bumps your head?
That's what you wanna do.
That's how big cats greet each other.
- I feel like I'm annoyed.
Please get the cat, get the cat, get the cat, get the cat.
- See? - [Noah] Whoa!
- See him? See him purr?
That's how big cats introduce each other.
It's them accepting you as part of the family?
- What if I don't want to be a part of his family?
- [Steve] Well then you get ate.
(Cameraman chuckling) - Oh yeah.
- [Steve] All right, come on, get in here.
- [Lori] We bond just fine.
- I think it's the cat print. - Yeah.
- Of your hair tie. - Yeah.
- Ranger is super cool.
He was the run to the litter.
He had a lot of little health issues.
He came to us kind of emaciated,
like missing some of his fur.
Now he is this monster that has grown like a weed.
Who's no longer the run, and he just loves everybody.
- [Jay] I'm gonna just close my eye and just do it.
- I know. - [Jay] Come on.
- [Steve] 'Cause he almost missed the door this time.
He struggling a little bit. - [Jay] What's he doing?
(girls giggling)
- Oh, he knows you!
- That'll be formal for telling you he wanna live in you.
- [Camera Man] Eat me from here.
- [Brian] What's going on?
- You let him bite me!
- You know he's got a play--
- Oh my God!
- [Steve] Your hair's like a play toy.
- No, (censored) that.
This is why black people don't do this (censored).
- This is good.
Who wants to get that off?
- Can I hold him in my lap like that?
- Yeah, we're gonna try.
- [Brian] You're not doing anything.
You're holding Steve. (girls chuckling)
- Nope, don't turn it towards me.
Why do you have this in your house?
- For moments like these.
- In your house!
- Who's the little,
who's the little baby?
Ooh, your eyes.
See Jay, this isn't that bad.
- Hi.
- It's like got owl eyes.
- [Brian] What's Jay's--
- Why does it do that?
I'm doing it.
Brian, are you getting it?
I'm doing it, I'm holding it!
It loves me so much.
- [Noah] Look at these spots.
You're so cool!
- Okay.
It just is so elegant.
This is good.
I'm good now.
This is great.
- Of course, I'm here with Steve, the owner.
These clouded leopards are,
it's one of my favorite cats in the world.
- Cloud leopards are amazing.
Show us what big teeth you have.
- [Brian] Oh, big teeth.
- So biggest teeth to skull ratio of all the animals.
Everybody's modern day saber-toothed tiger.
That's where they're original from.
It's almost all the big cats start with the clouded leopards
and go down from there.
Even though they're still tiny,
they don't do the purr,
they chuff like all the big cats do, tigers and lions.
- I love it.
I just think they're amazing.
And if you guys don't know,
their tongues almost feel like sandpaper
when they're licking you.
So it's just such an amazing feeling, I love it.
I could spend all day in this enclosure
because they are probably my favorite of all the cats,
to be honest with you.
Those giant big paws.
Just majestic, majestic animals.
Look at that tail.
- [Steve] Yeah, and a big tail for balance.
- Steve, this is amazing.
Oh, look how cute, you're so amazing, bud.
Can't believe Jay is actually afraid of this.
This is impossible for anyone to be afraid
of such amazing animals.
Look at this, a little fennec fox.
- Princess Leia.
- [Brian] Princess Leia.
You are so beautiful, Princess Leia.
Now you love that, right? - I'm scared of it.
I don't-- - You should pet her.
She's really soft.
Don't you do?
- [Jay] Yeah, this is more soft.
- She's been running around.
So you can see the blood vessels.
She uses them to keep herself cool.
- [Brian] What! - [Fennec Owner] Yeah.
- [Brian] Yeah, 'cause this comes from a desert
where its like 130, 140 degrees, yeah.
- They can also hear bugs crawling around
in the dirt as well.
And in the sheet rock,
which makes them awful indoor pets, yeah.
- [Brian] You haven't been able to go to a sheet rock?
Oh geez.
- And you know what else they hear?
They think there's something in there,
so they might go through the wall.
- Everything's good.
- Everything's fine.
You're doing great.
- It's all safe.
- Oh, my! Gonna be so fun.
You're scratching me!
Ow! - We're just wondering.
- Oh my God!
I don't want him no more.
I thought he was my savior and he's not.
This is Marshmallow.
Marshmallow's a bat eared fox.
- Does it wanna smell me?
Okay, nice to meet you.
- [Brian] Hey?
Hey, oh no.
Oh no, don't go!
- [Steve] Even if we get a new animal here, right?
She's like, "Yeah, this is good."
- [Brian] So she'll like it?
- Do you like 'em?
- I mean, it's just mind blowing.
What I don't,
it's like I don't know what I'm looking at.
- What does it make you feel like?
- Kindergartner, drew a picture
of an Armadillo-cat-dog thing.
- Put it on real life.
- And then it's just alive. - Yep, that's it?
- [Steve] I think if a fox and a hyena had a baby
and that's what came out.
- [All] Oh yeah.
- Because they're arched like a little mini hyena.
And when they go into attack mode,
you'll think it's a mini hyena.
- Don't push me, Dad.
Where's the other one now?
Okay, this is good.
(upbeat music)
Though, I can't run, I can't run, I can't run.
Look at that, she does not want us in here.
- [Noah] Put it back.
- [Jay] No, I mean put her back in her cage--
- [Brian] But Jay, this is great.
Look at him!
What are you so worried about?
- Okay.
Okay.
- [Brian] See him holding my feet.
- Yeah, yeah, it's good.
It's distracted with a change of speed.
I like this.
This is good.
- [Brian] Probably give him for a second.
(tense music)
- [Steve] How you like him?
Well, you said you liked him.
You like these cats?
- Please, just don't let it bite me.
- [Steve] Pet, yeah.
- [Brian] Second is the friendly baby--
- [Noah] Remember what you taught us in the van, slower
- Please, I have a lot,
I have a lot of dogs
and stuff that's not used to smelling, probably.
We're good, can you get it now?
- [Steve] Just the original OG.
Just keep rubbing.
He likes you obviously.
- Please, okay, this is so good.
Wait, I was so done.
Can you please get him?
Oh my God, he's sticking his nails in my leg.
That was super good actually.
I know why I'm fearful of cats.
First off, I'm trying to have a conversation.
So I'm fearful of cats
because every time you touch a cat, something hurts.
Its nails hurts.
The tongues hurts.
And you guys are like, "It's pretty, so nice."
And it didn't, it's scratching me.
If you pet a dog nothing hurts, right?
Does anybody agree?
Are you nervous? - No.
Okay, I lied.
- Yeah, but are you nervous right now?
- That's 'cause I'm pretty calm buddy.
No more water board-- - [Brian] Jumper.
- Dude, is that one growling at you?
- Did you hear that? - Yeah.
I don't know.
Ah, it felt so good.
- This is Chopper, the Bobcat.
I mean look at absolutely how amazing this animal is.
Ah! I tell you, as much as I love reptiles
and you guys know I do,
I love cats!
Really just all animals, but this is amazing.
Look at how cute it is.
Unbelievable, hi, bud?
(cat growls)
- What the...
- [Brian] That was my bad.
That was my fault.
- [Noah] Are you crying? - [Brian] What?
- [Noah] Are you crying?
- [Brian] Bill, did it. - You see that's about?
Ooh, Jay, are you crying? (laughing)
- I do a lot (censored),
but y'all are like (censored) round out.
Like that's not, that's too far.
- [Brian] You like this one, huh?
- I do.
Can we get one of these?
Look at me, I'm already taking care of it.
- No.
You're taking care of it? - I am.
Taking care of it right now.
- [Brian] Getting, standing there?
- That's all you have to do, right?
- [Fennec Owner] Yeah, who knows?
- See?
- Gotta feed it, clean the pouch poop.
Next up we have Caracals.
These guys are African cat that are amazing.
They're really known for those little pointy ears,
spot full growing right there.
So they're a small cat, but they're so really cool.
Very athletic.
Look at you.
Look at how beautiful you are.
Go over to one.
- And do what though?
Like why... - Have him roll over.
- Don't you think if it wanted to be petted
it would just come to us?
- [Jay] There we go.
- [Noah] Touch it? - Yeah.
- [Brian] You did not touch it.
(gentle upbeat music)
Here you go Jay.
There you go.
- Oh! - [Brian] So not so bad.
You still have your nails. - Could be a professional.
Can we please get outta here now?
- Oh my-- - What?
- [Brian] Oh my gosh.
- A big red, fluffy Teddy bear.
- The hand's so--
- So of course this is a red ruffed lemur.
Absolutely incredible.
I love the red ruffs.
They're like the favorite of all the lemurs.
They seem to be a little more chilled
than the ringtails, that most people see.
Look at how amazing. (lemur grunting)
What's this one's name?
- Pumpkin. - [Brian] Pumpkin.
Oh pumpkin.
- And his girlfriends are Hazel and Autumn.
- Oh my gosh, it is so soft.
So amazing.
- [Noah] I feel the soul through the palm.
- Noah. - Aww.
- Up here, up here, up here.
- Yeah, don't be a spoiled brat.
You can visit everybody else.
There, hold on to him for a minute.
- Okay. - [Steve] You're okay.
- I like these.
- [Steve] You're not gonna like daddy holding on.
But you're good? - Yeah, I really like these.
Stay with me.
- You're such a spoiled Red.
- All right, so now we know,
cat's the problem, lemur's not.
- I like this one.
I mean, I also like that it doesn't really like
or care about me.
So this is good.
(indistinct) This is so soft.
Maybe I like cats.
- I love these guys.
These are course, little Roos.
This is gonna get quite a bit bigger than this here.
We got an albino under there, which is really cool.
My buddy, Peter Bird's from Australia,
he's about to be in town, literally just in a few hours.
So he and the kangaroos
brings me back to all my great memories of Australia,
all the times I've been there.
And I love the roos so much.
Definitely wouldn't mind getting like a little wallaby,
'cause roos are a little bit too big for our place,
but maybe a Bennett's wallaby, that might be a good option.
Speaking of wallabies,
it's actually a feeding time for this one here
that's about nine months old.
You're a professional.
You've been feeding wallabies your whole life.
- My entire life. - Entire life.
- I came out the womb feeding with the wallabies.
- [Wallaby Girl] Just a little bit, there you go.
Yeah. - Yeah.
It's already too much, I can't..
- [Brian] A little bit. - Whoa, wait.
Is that too high?
- [Brian] It's too high.
No, too, too low.
Too low. - Guys, that is--
- [Brian] Too low, too high.
Too high. - I don't know, man.
- [Brian] Not that much.
- Gimme your hand.
Get over here, let me hold you.
This thing is pretty zonkey.
- Dude, we actually do have a zonkey here,
which is a zebra-donkey.
Hey bud.
What you doing?
- [Noah] I wanna pet this zonkey.
(Noah braying)
- Oh man, now we're getting into my world here.
Look at these.
Oh my goodness gracious.
One of the largest crocodile in the entire world.
How old are these ones?
- Well, these guys are just at a year.
So salties grow real slow.
- [Brian] Yeah. - And they're super shy
for about three or four years of their life,
until all of a sudden they wake up when they realize,
oh, I'm a saltwater crocodile.
I'm gonna be a monster.
- Salties are definitely one of the man-eaters,
unfortunately.
They get big and they literally will predate people.
The Northern territory, it's not uncommon at all
for people to go missing because of saltwater crocodiles.
Crazy cool.
Look at the teeth on these guys.
Yeah, you ready?
- Yeah I'll hold this one.
Is it just like a Gator or is gonna whip around further?
- [Steve] No, they're not too bad.
- Okay, buddy, okay.
This is the dream.
One day I'd love to have salt water crocodiles.
Can't do it in the facility I'm at now.
But if I ever get a giant place,
I'm gonna do a saltwater exhibit for sure.
One of the coolest crocodile's on the planet.
I mean, look at this animal right here.
How awesome is that?
- Oh God! it's sticking to everything.
Oh my God, I want one of these.
- [Steve] But conveniently,
that's the only one that's still available.
- Oh my God, is it a boy or girl?
Oh my God, it loves me.
Dad, can we please get it?
- [Brian] Okay, I'll get it.
- Yes.
Love cats. - [Noah] Yeah.
- Oh my God, it wants to go home with me.
Do I need a cat, guys?
- Yes, you do.
These are little Maine Coon cats here.
These are really big cats.
They'll give a 25 plus pounds.
Ah, look at how absolutely adorable that little cat is.
It's kind of crazy to think that this is like a house cat,
but a gigantic one.
I think Jay is starting to get over his fears of cats.
- We have to. - Mission accomplished.
Okay, I've got cat wheel envy.
Wow! I thought ours was cool.
This got gold on it.
You guys know how obsessed I am about getting otters.
This is definitely...
Yeah, what do you think, Jay?
You're not... - Yeah, no!
Hell, no!
This isn't otter my comfort zone.
(all chuckling)
- [Brian] Rufus come here.
Come here, Rufus.
Hi bud.
(indistinct)
There he goes, goodbye.
All in all.
I think Jay did a great job of getting over his fears.
What do you guys think?
- I think he did great.
- I think it's time to get otter here.
Hope if you guys enjoyed today's video.
If you did,
there's a playlist that you can watch all kinds of videos.
You can also hit that Subscription button,
it would mean a lot to me.
Also hit that Like button while you're down there.
Have a wonderful day Reptile Army.
Remember, be kind to someone
and I promise, I'll see you in the next one.
- Oh yeah.
Get all ribbed up, get all ribbed up.
