All right, I have no idea what's about to happen
because our next guest is an animal expert who
is going to show us different animals from around the world.
Now there are some animals that I love,
and some that I love a little less.
It's going to be good.
From Washington, D.C, please welcome David Mizejewski.
How you doing, man?
Good to see.
Hi, David.
So you guys love animals, right?
Yes.
That's why I like to hear.
I work for the National Wildlife Federation,
and we're all about protecting wildlife around the world.
So I brought some really amazing wildlife ambassadors
that you guys can meet.
OK.
I can't wait.
All right.
So why don't we bring out our first animal.
I guarantee you've probably never seen this animal before.
OK.
It is called a binturong.
And let's see.
We're going to--
So cute.
Let's see if we can get her over here and chewing on a banana
now.
We're not going to touch her because she's got
sharp claws and sharp fangs.
That is OK with me.
Here we go.
Let's see if she'll eat the banana.
She's not going to eat the banana.
What's her name.
Her name is Saba.
Now this is an animal that you probably never
seen or heard of because they live in Southeast Asia,
in the jungles.
They're actually declining in the wild.
And, of course, she wants to get up on my shoulder here.
Let's see if we can give her--
She's so cute.
Let's show everybody what she looks like up front there.
So anyway, this is an animal that lives in the jungles.
And see that big fat tail there?
They actually use that as a fifth limb.
They can actually hold onto branches with it.
All right, we're probably going to send her back before she--
Yeah, I'll give you that.
Wow.
We've got a bunch more cool animals out here.
That was cool, I liked that one.
Binturong, they're threatened in the wild.
They're declining.
So again, they need our help.
All right, next one you guys, are going to love, too.
This, we're going to be kind of quiet.
She's just a little baby here.
OK.
This is a serval.
This is a wildcat that's native to Africa.
Now what do servals eat?
Now servals are pretty cool because they
have super long legs, and Sabi is just
getting those really long legs, because they
live in the African grasslands.
And so they can actually jump over six feet in the air
and catch birds right out of the sky.
See, we from Africa, that's why she like us.
They also eat rodents like most other cats do.
Thank you serval kitten.
Let's bring out our next animal now.
You might be a little bit spooked
by the next animal that we have here.
How are you holding up?
You guys, actually, I'm proud of you.
I didn't know how you were going to react.
I didn't know how you were going to react to this next animal.
Because-- whoa-- because they smell fear.
Grab the back end.
I'll hold the head end.
OK.
Do you know what this is?
It's a snake.
That's a killer, right there.
Well OK, I'm glad you said that.
You said that it's a killer.
It sure is.
Most snakes are 100% harmless to people.
It's a boa constrictor.
If you were a bird or a mammal living
in the jungles of Central America or South America,
yes this is an animal that could be dangerous to you.
What's her name.
So this is Bonita.
Bonita.
And she's beautiful.
She's beautiful.
Snakes need our love.
It's not just a cute and cuddly and the furry animals
that deserve potentially.
Does she lay eggs?
No, they actually give live birth.
Most reptiles lay eggs.
That's a really great question.
This group of snakes actually give live birth
to little babies.
You want to hold it?
Come on you can do it.
We're not going to put it around your neck.
I just want you to feel this strength.
Because it constricts, so--
OK, all right.
I want you to feel like strength and the weight.
Don't they smell fear?
They feel fear don't they?
Actually pulling scent particles out
of the air with that tongue.
That's why snakes flick their tongue.
It's not because they're trying to sting
you or something like that.
It kind of has a grip on my arm.
So it's making me a little nervous.
I'm going to help you with that.
There you go.
I got her.
See, it's not letting go.
Look, look.
You could put her around someone's neck?
I wouldn't do that because they're pretty strong.
It's holding onto my arm.
There we go.
We're going to send her back now.
Yeah.
Bye, Bonita.
You can step over here because our last animal--
Why you push me to hold it?
Our last animal is going to be over here on the grass.
All right, guys, come on over here with me.
You know what this is.
Look, that's a zebra.
I'm going to give you each one carrot.
OK, you got this.
Just hold the tip of it like this.
I always wanted to know why do they have stripes?
All right, so zebras have stripes
because actually new research has
shown that it actually helps protect them
from the parasitic flies.
It confuses the flies.
I got you, buddy.
Let me walk him this way a little bit.
It's just like Lion King.
What's his name?
This is Zimba.
Zimba the zebra.
Pretty easy to remember.
Now, notice, too, the color of his stripes here are brown.
When they're young and they're born, their stripes are brown.
And these stripes are kind of like fingerprints.
So it's every animal has a unique set.
National Wildlife Federation, we really
hope everybody out there joins our cause
and gets involved protecting wildlife.
We focus on America's wildlife, but it's up to everybody
out there to get involved if we're
going to save these beautiful creatures.
Thank you so much, man.

Wildlife is available now.
