- Today we have Cool Zoo visiting
and they brought some incredible animals,
starting with this amazing two-headed musk turtle.
You guys know I love two-headed animals.
A two-headed musk turtle
is something I hadn't seen before.
It's gonna be amazing.
Let's see what else they brought.
I have a feeling Mike is gonna have
a little challenge today.
- Help, guys. Help.
- Mike, what are you doing?
- Mike, when did you get a kangaroo, man?
- What do you mean, "When did we get a kangaroo?"
We've always had a kangaroo.
- Where? - No, we have not.
What are you doing with him? - Yeah.
- I don't know. (laughing)
Isn't he cute, though?
- Yeah, but- - Yeah, but it doesn't
look like you know what you're doing.
- Alright, well then, hop.
- Okay.
- Hey, buddy. What's his name?
- Dad, there's a-
- Do you know what's going on with-
- Yeah, we got Cool Zoo in the house today,
and they brought some cool animals.
This is Hopper. How awesome is that, huh?
- Do you think we should keep it?
- Yeah. - Yes.
What are we doing? What is life?
- What's better than one kangaroo?
Three kangaroos.
- Noah, hold this.
- How do I hold it? - Hold it.
Alright, take it. - I got him.
- You got him? - Hey, baby.
- Got him? You got him?
♪ Who's your little baby, short and stout ♪
- Okay, give him to Mike.
Mike wants to hold him.
- Mike.
- I wanna hold a kangaroo?
- Have you held a baby before?
- I've never even, no.
Toady was my first day - Mike.
- for everything. - Mike.
- What? - Mike.
- Jesus Christ, this guy.
- Manhandling it. - This is good.
- This is a baby kangaroo. - Yeah, he's so rough.
- What's his name? - Oh ho, my goodness.
- This is the craziest day.
- So soft. I want one.
Can we get one, Brian?
- Yes, we can get one.
(all laughing)
- Oh my goodness. Oh my, Ew.
- It's nasty.
- That's where they carry their babies
when they grow-
- Aw! - And it's gooey too.
- It's gooey in there? - Ooh.
- Ooh, stick your finger in there.
Oh, no. (laughing)
- It's nasty.
Here dad, you can get in here.
- Let's take a picture together.
- That's what I was saying.
Oh good.
Wait, can you get one with both of your sons?
- I got it.
- [Lori] All in the same frame?
- Oh. - Oh, my goodness.
- Awesome, guys. - Yeah, yeah.
- Guys, you guys.
- [Lori] Oh yeah.
- [Mike] Brian, could you hold your kangaroo?
- Aha. - Sorry. We're good?
- [Mike] Looking good double.
- Geez Mike, you're so slow. - I took some-
- Oh, where you going?
(laughing)
- Can I have five of them please?
This little guy is too cute,
this little kangaroo.
What's his name?
- Boing. - Boing?
- [Mike] Boing. Like boing, boing, boing.
- [Attendant] Don't look scared.
You gotta smile and stand up.
You're a tree. - I wasn't scared.
- It's so cool.
- I love them.
- Ringo. - I'm out.
- It's a monkey. - Yeah.
- Dude, this is nut. Mm.
(background chatting)
- Is it biting me?
- [Mike] He'll give you kisses.
- [Attendant] He's gonna try to go in your mouth.
(laughing)
- Great, someone take it. - Ringo.
- Take it. - Having a panic attack.
- Take it.
- Take a break from the animals
and actually see this beautiful clutch right here.
This is actually a Lemon Blast Orange Dream
which is a Pastel, a Pin Stripe and an Orange Dream.
And she was bred to this stinger Orange Dream Fire
which means we could get Super Orange Dream Spinners,
Fires, Super Pastels,
and all kinds of really cool stuff.
Let's see how many eggs mama has.
Whoo doggy!
Mama is not happy with us,
but a beautiful clutcha eggs right here..
Unbelievable how many amazing eggs there are here.
We've got two, four, six, eight, nine beautiful eggs.
I'm gonna do is,
I'm gonna put 'em in this egg box right here.
I'll get 'em in the incubator.
And these guys will actually cut in 57 days.
Back to some cool animals at the reptarium.
Plus we have a ring-tail lemurs here.
These guys are from Madagascar.
These are what they call prosimians,
which are pre apes actually
and they are absolutely amazing.
Their little claws are amazingly soft.
They're beautiful animals.
And of course these guys were made super famous
by the movie "Madagascar,"
but I tell you what,
these are amazing little dudes.
And of course the reason these are called ring-tails
is obvious,
cuz they have ring tails.
So there's actually ruffed lemurs as well,
which are really cool too.
And they love little fruit.
Look at that little guy right there.
Oh my gosh, is that the cutest thing in the world?
I'm definitely in heaven right now.
I cannot thank Cool Zoo enough
for bringing all these cool animals.
- Oh my God. Mm.
- Wow, isn't that cool?
He's got a grip on me.
- Hey, come. Come.
- Wait. No, no, not like that.
- I don't know.
(laughing)
- And then he's gonna come across
whenever you give him a grape. - Ringo.
- I have a grape right here. See this grape? Ringo.
- No, look up there. Ringo.
- [Jay] I'll bring him back for you, dude
- You gotta get this here in my hand.
- [Jay] Okay, Noah here.
Put it in your, oh. See there.
- Ringo.
Ringo, grapee.
This is going grape.
- Here he comes. - There he goes.
- Aah!
- Oh my God, I dropped it.
- This is so cool.
- Taking him away. What are you doing?
- He was gonna jump on top of Ivy's case.
- No, He was not.
Look at how tight he's holding onto you.
(lemur sneezing) - Oh!
Did you hear that? Was that Mike?
- That was so- - Don't pull his-
- You're tightening your neck.
(laughing)
- Ah, it looks like a rock.
- What is this? Is it alive?
- Why's it so small?
- Whoa! - Dude , that's a beast.
- What is this?
- That's a two-headed turtle.
We have enough of those. - That's a rock.
- Oh, that makes more sense.
- They have a baby sloth.
Dad, look at this. - I know.
Can you believe Drogo used to be this size?
This of course is a year and a half old, two toed sloth.
Just like Drogo, but a little guy.
It is so adorable.
We need to get another one.
- Yeah, maybe two
- Maybe two, another two?
Oh my gosh. You can feed it?
- Let's see if he wants it. Mark.
- No, he's just like, - No.
- "No, I'm just gonna crawl around."
- He's just checking it out.
- Wow, how freaking cool. - Oh my God, he's so tiny.
Look at his little nails.
- I know, he's so cute.
It's so weird to think
that Drogo was this size once. - Yeah.
- It's so cool. - It's like a tea.
- It's like a teacup Drogo. - It's a teacup Drogo.
He's a lot different than Drogo.
- Way softer.
- [Attendant] Have you felt the hair
of a sloth before, guys?
- Oh my God, that's so soft.
- Whoa.
- I gotta get Noah for this.
Noah, get over here.
- I need you to relax. I've got a baby in here.
- Just feel how soft this is.
- Oh my goodness, dude. - Isn't that soft?
- Did they use Suave?
- That's Dove right there.
- Goodness, it's softer than my hair.
Amazing.
- Since Cool Zoo brought us a bunch of awesome animals
It's our turn to show them.
(hands slapping) - Ow!
Fudge. Mike, you hurt my hands so bad.
- Jay, you always say that.
You just have little hands. (hands slapping)
- That one didn't hurt.
Let me try to hurt your hand.
(hands slapping) Ow!
- My turn. - No.
- A little concerned about the smell
of mammals in the air. (chuckling)
- Smell is in the air. Wow. - And they still have a mouth.
- Wham! (laughing)
And just like that we lost Mike.
- I would say- - Only three weeks
after being back. - I would say that's funny,
but today it could actually be a threat.
- She's like super tame.
- So I figure you guys are always
like doing a rocking job.
- Wow.
- Jay, you're not part of the crew.
(laughing)
- He's still holding the middle.
- [Brian] Get out of there, Jay.
- [Mike] One of those Cool Zoo tricks.
(laughing)
- Most definitely, you can.
- Whoop. - I'm just helping.
- Doing great, Jay.
- [Brian] There you go, come around this way with her.
- Ooh, my gosh.
- Flip around this way. - Yeah, I mean-
- Don't let her go. - Squeezing-
- Oh!
- Just check out this experience.
- Quite cool experiences out here in Michigan today.
- We might not want to be this close.
- I think that's a pretty way
to bring people into the reptile world.
Gonna go ahead and feed RJ.
Come on buddy. Come on up here.
Up, up, up, up. Up, up, up. (water splashing)
Up, up, up, up.
Up, up, up. (water splashing)
- There you go, bud.
Getting energetic.
I can't wait till we get him
into an enclosure that he can get out
and we can have him open his mouth
like we do at Gator land. (jaws snapping)
- Open, open.
Ooh.
There you go, bud.
Whoo hoo hoo, he's always fun to feed.
Just as Jim was leaving,
I couldn't stop thinking
about this adorable little musk turtle
that had two heads.
I mean it is a really good example
of two head turtle, so I have to ask him,
"Hey would there be any chance
that you would sell that to me?
You know I am a sucker for two-headed animals."
And sure enough, Jim and I made a deal.
So this is my newest addition to the reptarium.
This is a two-headed common musk turtle.
Now these guys are actually native
to the eastern part of United States
and of course they typically don't have two heads.
They are really an aquatic animal,
so they really come out to bask.
Matter of fact we have razorback musk turtles
in the pond over here that never come out.
And again, these guys are the smallest
two headed turtles I've ever bought in my entire life.
I hope they're gonna do well.
Typically, musk turtles do pretty good.
So I'm thinking that they're a hardy species,
so why not give it a chance?
The way we're gonna set these guys up
is in some shallow water,
because they'll stay in the water almost all the time.
And they're actually from rivers and creeks
that are actually relatively shallow,
not to mention at this size
they can actually flip over with the two heads
and have a hard time flipping back over.
So we set up some shallow water
and we're gonna get these guys going
and hopefully they'll thrive for us.
They only get about two and a half
to five inches long, maximum.
So they're a smaller turtle for sure.
And if these guys live,
it's gonna be absolutely amazing.
You know me, I'm a sucker.
I've gotta at least give it a go.
I do need names for these two little guys.
Look at how cute they are.
So, down in the comments, let me know what you think
we should name these two little monkeys.
Absolutely incredible.
I'm over the top excited.
So, Beth usually tastes care of our
little babies up here.
Beth, I've got a new little monkey for you.
- A musk turtle?
- It is, but look what this guy-
- Oh my God, two heads.
It's so little, Brian.
- It's so little. What do you think?
- Oh my God.
- You ready for a challenge? - Yeah, I'm ready.
- They'll eat turtle food
and then when they get bigger
they'll actually eat like maybe some fish,
some shrimp, - Okay.
- some different things like that,
but look at him. - Ooh.
- Whoop. He's coming out.
- You comin' out to say hi. - He's coming out to say hi.
- We need a name for him.

I appreciate it.
And I love these little guys.
All right, let's get 'em set up.
So Mike, what do you think?
- Oh my goodness. It is so little.
- It's tiny, right? - It's a razorback, right?
- Or a musk. - It's not a razorback.
It's a musk. It's a common musk turtle.
So these are common. - Oh, my goodness,
I can't believe it.
- They don't get quite big quite, but-
- Kinda like Ben and Jerry,
like that's a bigger head.
I wonder if that's - Yeah.
like the more dominant one. - It is really interesting.
Yeah, one head is actually a little bit bigger
than the other head,
which is really unusual.
Probably the dominant head,
but most likely both of 'em will eat.
So we're gonna just set 'em up
and hopefully they'll start eating here
in the next couple days.
They grow slow, very slow growing animals.
So even at a year old they're probably
only gonna be an inch, inch and a half long.
So smaller than Tyson, huh?
- Yeah. Yeah, it is.
I'm excited. I'm ready for the challenge.
Let's make this happen.
Of course we have other two-headed turtles here
and you always might ask yourself,
why am I so into two-headed animals
like two-headed turtles, two-headed snakes?
I don't know.
For one, I think that they're very interesting
and very unique.
It's called polycephaly,
which just means two head or multiple heads.
And of course, I just think
that they're also a draw for the reptile zoo, right?
We get people that come in and be like,
"Oh my gosh, how cool is chopstick?
It's so wild."
And then we can teach them things and educate them.
So it's kind of a starting point, right?
It's just a reason for people to come in
and then an opportunity
for us to teach them about how cool they are.
So right now we have three
red-eared slider two-headed animals
and now we have, of course, the musk turtle.
And hopefully that one will be on display here
at some point in the future
once it's actually established.
Probably gonna be about another three or four months
before it's established enough to get over here.
But nevertheless two-headed animals are just wild
and I just love them to death.
Can't tell you how many people come in
just to see Ben and Jerry,
the two-headed California king snake.
And you know, a dream of mine
would be a two-headed giant snake
like a two-headed Burmese python
or two-headed articulated python.
Could you imagine?
I mean, Ben and Jerry are amazing
as Cal kings and these are full grown
at about three and a half or four foot.
Could you imagine an 18 foot two-headed snake?
I mean, one day someone's gonna hatch
a two-headed reticulated python
or Burmese python or an anaconda.
And hopefully I'll get an opportunity to get that,
because that would be absolutely ridiculous.
I couldn't imagine a two-headed giant snake.
Now that would be a draw for sure.
Remember, go ahead comment down below
what name you think the
two-headed musk turtles should be named?
Hopefully it'll all work out.
