- Why is the mouth open already?
- [Timothy] I got your back.
- Ain't nobody scared of this.
- You got this, you got this.
(alligator hisses)
(both exclaim)
What's up, y'all?
Welcome to MTV's Animal Style.
I'm Timothy Delaghetto.
- I'm Darren "Big Baby" Brand.
- [Timothy] This is a show where we meet,
learn about and review
- [Darren] some of the cutest and creepiest
animals in the kingdom.
- Let's see who's up first.
(jungle themed music)
We're here with animal expert Danielle
and what's happening here?
- [Danielle] So this is Checkers.
- [Guys] Checkers!
- [Danielle] Now Checkers is an African pygmy hedgehog.
- So what are these called?
These aren't quills right?
- So these are not quills.
These are called spikes.
When they get scared, they curl in a ball
and they'll tuck their heads in
and protect their little stomachs.
(guys exclaim)
- Mid poo!
- You're making her poo!
- That was like 2 Girls 1 Cup.
- There's only one girl.
- Both of y'all together.
(Danielle laughs)
- So as long as you guys make her feel nice and comfortable,
she'll stay calm like this.
- How do we make sure she's comfortable?
- Well, you have to be quiet.
- Quiet.
- Can you be quiet?
You kinda have loud reactions.
- Hold on, one second.
What's wrong with Danielle?
Why's she acting like this?
- I don't know dog.
- I'm not here for none of that.
- Do you feel disrespected?
- I feel disrespected.
All right, let's do it.
- So these guys in their enclosures,
they walk all over their poop
and it sometimes gets stuck on their nails.
So today, we're actually gonna give them
a little bit of a pedicure.
- So, she has (beep) nails?
- She does.
So you guys are gonna help me out.
I might have her sister join us, too.
- [Both] What?
- [Danielle] She has a sister named Yahtzee.
- Stop right now.
Checkers, stop.
- Checkers. - Checkers.
- So this is what a hedgehog looks like
when they're a little bit nervous.
- [Timothy] Is that her?
- [Darren] Oh!
- [Danielle] This is her.
- [Timothy] Well that is adorable.
- [Danielle] She's a little bit calmer in the bath.
- Yeah, she's good.
Checkers, I'm not sure where we at.
- [Danielle] Okay, so the biggest challenge now
is that I brought a nail file,
so you guys can kinda try to just bring out the nail
and give it a little file.
- [Darren] Stop moving, stop.
- Honey, why you no have boyfriend?
- Okay, I got one, uh oh.
I never had nobody fall out the chair.
I'ma get the sister.
How you feeling this morning, boo?
She puffin' on me!
She tried to puff me.
- I think you're exaggerating.
- Don't fight me, girl.
Give me that hand.
There you go.
Okay, I'm done, do you.
- Okay so now that we got your hedgehogs
looking clean and sexy,
- Spa day.
- who else can we give a little spa day to?
- So I have another animal,
but they don't take baths in water.
- Who don't wash in the water?
What the (beep) is that?
- [Timothy] Oh, I know what this is.
- [Darren] What is that?
- [Timothy] Chinchilla.
- I thought that was a coat.
- That's what they're--
- Made, oh!
Oh, I'm so sorry.
- So this is Machu.
- Machu?
- Machu.
- Bless you. (giggles)
- (giggles) No.
- [Danielle] So you guys can hold her.
They're squirmy though.
- Okay you go first, you go first.
- Oh I got you, poo.
Yes.
Hey poo.
- [Danielle] So these guys are mainly found
in the Andes Mountains in South America.
- [Darren] Okay.
- It's like dry and arid,
so it doesn't get wet necessarily,
but it's really cold for them.
- Okay.
- So they have the gray color
they'll blend in with the rocks.
It helps them camouflage.
I don't know what's going on there.
- He's having a moment.
- [Danielle] I can't believe you like one of these.
- Just for a moment, babe.
- [Timothy] Not too loud.
- Oh, yeah, you're right, I'm sorry.
- [Danielle] They have the big ears.
They hear really well.
- Okay my turn.
- Say what, watch out.
- Let me get a turn.
- Here you go.
Sike!
All right, let's do it, let's get to it.
- So what are we using to bathe her?
- So in the wild, they'll actually roll around in dust.
- So is that sulfate?
- This is actually corn starch.
- Corn starch.
- Yes, it actually gets all the oils
and like anything stuck in their fur off.
- Exfoliate.
- It's like a dry shampoo.
- Exactly!
- That is a good way to put it.
- You can tell which one got skins.
- And hairs.
- Hello.
(slow motion audio replays)
- [Danielle] So let's put a little bit
of chinchilla dust in here.
Wanna go in there?
- [Guys] Oh!
- So since these guys are really small,
they have a lot of predators,
so in closed spaces, they feel really safe.
- Who's out here eating chinchillas?
- Well.
So when a predator's coming up,
they can release a ton of fur all at once.
- Oh what?
- So they can throw hair in the air,
gets in their eyes, and gives them that quick second.
- [Darren] To get away.
- Or dive down somewhere safe.
- [Timothy] Damn, that's crazy.
- [Darren] So do we have a boy?
- We have one boy.
- Let's make 'em do it.
- Let's make 'em do it!
- No.
- Oh!
(jungle themed music)
- We are here with animal expert Crystal.
We haven't met you yet.
What is going on?
What are we doing here?
- Let's find out.
You can follow me.
(alligator hisses)
- Oh my god, it's right there!
- Whoo!
Can you stop touching me?
- [Timothy] Sorry, I'm nervous.
I get touchy when I'm nervous.
- [Crystal] All right, boys, get it together.
- Why is the mouth open already?
- [Timothy] He's hungry, he smells the chicken.
- Hey.
(alligator hisses)
- [Crystal] She's letting you know that she's there,
and she's letting you know that she sees you.
- [Timothy] I got your back.
- (laughs) Ain't nobody scared of this.
- [Crystal] Go for the mouth, go lower, there you go.
(alligator hisses)
(both exclaim)
- You better eat it, girl!
Bro, I love you, bro!
- You did good, man.
You did good.
- Since this is Animal Style,
how do alligators get their animal style on?
- How do they do it?
- [Darren] Like when it's good,
does the tail go fast?
Or do they like tumble real fast
and that's how they get it poppin'?
- So they kinda have to go belly to belly.
- [Both] Missionary!
- Savage. - Sweet.
- [Darren] Had a good time with her today.
Are we doing anything else?
We're good, we're good, right?
- Nope, you see this pool?
- [Timothy] What?
- [Crystal] Somebody's gotta clean it.
- That's not a pool.
- That's a joke.
- 'Cause I ain't cleanin' nobody's pool.
(Timothy exclaims)
- It's okay, it's okay, baby, it's cool.
Whoa, it's moving, it's moving!
- [Darren] She's moving!
- What do I do with this?
What is happening?
- [Darren] She's up!
- [Timothy] She's getting in the pool.
- Yeah, don't let her get in the pool.
- [Timothy] This is crazy.
- [Crystal] You can drop that brush for now.
- Oh I can drop it for now?
- No, no, not you.
- So I'm out here just a pool guy for an alligator.
- [Timothy] Oh my god, she's moving,
oh my god, she's moving, oh my god.
- Tim, I'm depending on you.
Spray here?
- [Crystal] Yeah spray wherever you see the algae.
- Wow, this is crazy.
- [Darren] I love you bro.
- [Crystal] All right, now you gotta scrub it down.
- [Darren] Hey Tim, on everything,
- Yeah?
- [Darren] how do you feel right now?
- (exclaims) Oh, my god its mouth is opening.
- [Darren] Keep her busy.
- [Crystal] Ready?
- Better hurry up, my arm's getting tired.
- Bro, it doesn't matter.
I don't care how tired you are.
- Oh, oh!
- Tim, I promise you I will leave.
I will leave you here by yourself, Tim.
- It's cool.
I'm asserting my dominance.
- [Darren] Stand like a man.
- Yeah, get my shoulders up.
Wally.
- Whoo, all right.
- [Crystal] Good job.
- All right,
it looks like Wally liked the pool we did for her.
Cleaned it up real nice.
- [Darren] Her spa day was crazy.
- You guys did a good job.
- We did good, we did good.
I'm proud, I'm proud.
- But she's looking right at us right now,
so I think we're gonna go ahead
and gonna leave here alone, yeah.
- Okay, okay.
I'm leaving.
Jesus, attitude?
Today started off.
- [Timothy] Hedgehog, chinchilla.
- Chinchilla!
- So cute!
I mean, I didn't get to hold it,
but you know, that's cool.
- Just gotta be a man, step up.
And then after the hedgehog, chinchilla,
we went to the gator.
- You let me handle the gator, yeah.
- Went to the, I see, you was in there.
- Real man handle the gator.
- Yeah, you all scared.
Had the broom on it.
You know what I mean?
- All right, so let's see.
Hedgehog, chinchilla, your style?
- Let's be honest.
Hedgehog no, chinchilla yes.
- See I'm down with that.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Gator though.
- [Darren] Gator.
- Is the gator your style?
- Yeah, yeah.
I admit it, lay around in the pool a lotta days,
scare a little folk.
- Okay, I guess his style is my style.
- Yeah, yeah, I'm good with the gator.
Gator gang.
- Oh snap!
- Oh do it again.
- [Both] Oh,

Snap and a snap!
- Oh, gator gang!
- Woo! - Animal Style, we're out.
