OUR NEXT GUEST IS A -- >> ANIMALS! >> Jimmy: IS A ZOOLOGIST WITH A LOVE FOR DANGEROUS BEASTS. HIS NEW SHOW ON FACEBOOK WATCH IS CALLED “ANIMAL BITES WITH DAVE SALMONI.” FROM ANIMAL PLANET, PLEASE WELCOME DAVE SALMONI. >> HOW ARE YOU? I'D SHAKE YOUR HAND BUT IT'S PROBABLY NOT A GREAT IDEA. >> HOW WITH YOU. >> GOOD, DAVE. I'M BEING RUDE TO EVERYBODY, NOT SHAKING ANYONE'S HANDS. >> WHAT A CUTE -- YOU CAN BE RUDE. YOU'VE GOT YOUR HANDS FULL. >> THIS IS AN ALLIGATOR. >> Jimmy: YEAH, IT'S A LITTLE ONE, RIGHT? >> IT IS ACTUALLY A LITTLE ONE, RIGHT. THESE GUYS CAN BE OVER 1,000 POUNDS. GO AHEAD AND SIT DOWN. >> Jimmy: REALLY? WILL THAT ONE GET UP TO -- >> THEY ALL BASICALLY GROW TO THE SIZE OF THEIR ENCLOSURES OR WHAT THEY EAT SO IF THIS GUY'S IN A WILD AREA WHERE THERE'S BIG THINGS LIKE PIGS AND DEER THAT HE HEATS, HE'LL BE 16'1" POUNDS. BUT IF HE IS IN AREAS WHERE HE'S LIVING OFF FROGS AND LITTLE BIRDS, THEN HE'LL STALE STAY A LITTLE SMALLER. >> Jimmy: WHY DO THEY HAVE THAT SMILE LIKE THEY'RE MOCKING YOU. >> THEY HAVEN'T EVOLVED IN MILLIONS OF YEARS. SO MILLIONS OF YEARS AGO, THERE WAS ANIMALS THAT LOOKED JUST LIKE THIS, AND THE ONLY REASON THEY HAVEN'T CHANGED IS BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T NEEDED TO. THEY'RE REALLY GOOD PREDATORS. LET ME SHOW YOU MY FAVORITE THING. >> Jimmy: DID YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE IN YOUR APARTMENT? >> I'M LIKE, DID I MISS A SCENE IN "PREDATOR"? WE HAD ONE OF THESE. WE HAD A NILE MONITOR, WHICH LOOKED VERY CLOSE TO THIS BUT HE HAD A SHORT FACE. >> YEAH. SO WITH THESE GUYS -- >> HE BLINKED AND I FREAKED OUT. >> I GOT TWO NERVOUS GUYS. SO WITH THESE GUYS ARE PREDATORS, MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT THEM IS IF YOU LOOK, THE NOSE IS ABOVE THE TOP OF THE HEAD AND THE EYES ARE AT THE TOP SO WHEN THIS GUY, EVEN IF HE'S 1,000 POUNDS, CAN LIVE UNDER THE WATER AND ALL YOU'LL SEE THE TWO LITTLE BUMPS ON THE TOP AND HE CAN SIT LIKE THIS AND JUST WAIT AND IF ANYTHING THEN COMES NICE AND CLOSE, SO, LOOK AT THIS GUY. SO IF YOU LOOK FROM THE TIP OF HIS NOSE TO ABOUT HIS BACK FOOT, ANYTHING IN THAT CIRCLE, HE CAN GRAB. SO HE'LL REACH OUT AND YOU LOOK AT HIS TEETH, ZOOM IN REAL TIGHT, THEY'RE LIKE LITTLE PEGS. THERE'S NO SPECIAL TEETH, NO MORALS OR INCISORS. THEY'RE ONLY FOR GRABBING. ONCE THEY GET AHOLD OF YOU, THAT'S IT. THEY GOT YOU. BUT THEY CAN'T TAKE BITES. IF IT'S NOT BITE-SIZE, THEY TAKE IT IN THE WATER, TRY TO SOFTEN IT UP. HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE DEATH ROLL? >> YEAH. >> THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING, BASICALLY TAKING SOMETHING THAT'S BIG AND REALLY TRYING TO GET A BITE-SIZE CHUNK. >> Jimmy: THEY'RE DROWNING IT. >> THEY DON'T CARE. THEY KNOW WHEN THEY'VE GOT YOU, THEY'RE GOING TO GET YOU EVENTUALLY. WHEN THEY'VE GOT YOU, THEY KNOW IT'S OVER. THE DEATH ROLL IS TO GET A CHUNK. THERE'S NO POINT IN KILLING SOMETHING REALLY BIG IF THEY CAN'T EAT IT SO THEY'LL GRAB IT, BRING IT DOWN AND TRY TO SPIN JUST BECAUSE IT WILL RIP A CHUNK OFF THEY CAN SWALLOW. >> Jimmy: THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR, HOW LONG BEFORE IT GROWS INTO A FULL-SIZE KELLEYANNE CONWAY? >> IF HE EATS A LOT, IT COULD BE ABOUT A YEAR. DO YOU WANT TO HOLD THIS GUY? >> Jimmy: NOPE. KEEGAN-MICHAEL WILL HOLD IT. >> LET ME BRING THE FRIENDLIER SIZE VERSION. >> Jimmy: OH, LOOK AT THAT. LUNCH. ALL RIGHT. >> NOW. >> Jimmy: THAT IS -- ARE THEY GOING TO GET PROGRESSIVELY SMALLER? >> HERE YOU GO. YOU GRAB HERE. GRAB THE TAIL THERE. THUMB DOWN BECAUSE IT CAN BITE YOU. >> Jimmy: OH, GREAT. THANKS. >> NOW YOU'RE A GATOR WRANGLER. >> Jimmy: DON'T SAY HE CAN BITE YOU BEFORE. >> YOU GOT IT, JIMMY. YOU TRICK -- I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU WERE GOING TO SAY YES TO THE BIGGER ONE. BUT I CAN LET YOU HOLD THIS ONE. >> I COULD HAVE GONE FOR THE JOKE BUT THAT'S HOW MUCH I LIKE ANIMALS. >> Jimmy: YOU WANT TO HOLD THIS ONE? SPEND A LITTLE TIME WITH THAT GUY. >> HAND UP AT THE FRONT, MAKE HIM FEEL COMFORTABLE. HE WILL BITE YOU IF YOU LET HIM. >> Jimmy: IF THAT BITES, DOES IT HURT? >> YEAH, THAT GUY WILL HURT YOU. >> THOSE ARE LIKE STRAIGHT-UP NEEDLES IN HIS MOUTH. >> IT WILL HURT ENOUGH THAT IT WILL BRUISE A BIT, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF BLOOD, BUT THE OTHER GUY, HE'S BIG ENOUGH TO TAKE A CHUNK OFF. >> HE'S GOT NICE EYES. >> I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN GET REALLY CLOSE IN THE CAMERA. YOU CAN SEE THESE GUYS ARE AQUATIC. SEE THAT WEBBED FOOT. THESE GUYS ARE EXCELLENT IN THE WATER. IF YOU OPEN THIS HAND A LITTLE BIT, YOU CAN SEE HE'S LIKE A BIG RUDDER. DO YOU KNOW THESE MEN BEHIND YOU? I THINK HE WANTS THIS. SO NEXT ANIMAL. WE GOT SOMETHING, JIMMY, I THINK WHAT'S THIS? I WAS WRONG. THAT IS NOT AN ALLIGATOR. NOW THIS IS A -- >> Jimmy: YOU FOUND THAT IN THE ALLEY, DIDN'T YOU? >> THIS IS A HYRAX OR ROCK DUSSY. >> Jimmy: THAT A POKEMON OR AN ANIMAL. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK HIS CLOSEST RELATIVE? >> WOMBAT. >> IT IS CLOSEST RELATED TO AN ELEPHANT. THEIR KNOWS IS VERY SIMILAR TO AN ELEPHANT'S TRUNK. >> Jimmy: NO, IT'S NOT. >> ANATOMICALLY. I THINK YOU'D HAVE TO BE A TAXONOMIST. SO THEY'RE REALLY CUTE, FUN. >> Jimmy: THAT IS A CUTE ONE. >> WHERE DO THEY LIVE? >> AFRICA. IN LITTLE ROCKY OUTCROPS. IN GROUPS BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IN AFRICA THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT LIKE TO EAT SOMETHING THIS SIZE SO THEY USE EVERY EYEBALL THEY CAN. IF ANYTHING DANGEROUS COMES ALONG, THEY WHISTLE. AND THEN IT MEANS, DANGEROUS THINGS ARE COMING AND THEY'LL GO HIDING. >> Jimmy: THIS WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT STOCKING STUFFER, WOULDN'T IT? ARE YOU ALLOWED TO HAVE THESE AS PETS? >> YOU PROBABLY ARE ALLOWED. NAY WOULDN'T MAKE GREAT PETS. NONE OF THESE EXOTIC ANIMALS MAKE GOOD PETS AND THIS GUY WANTS TO LIVE IN A LITTLE CAVE IN SOME ROCKS SO HE WOULDN'T BE A FUN PET TO HAVE. >> Jimmy: OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL, SO FAR, THE ANIMALS ARE NOT TOO TERRIFYING. >> THESE ARE FUN ANIMALS. YOU KNOW ME. JIMMY, COME AROUND. BRING THIS WITH YOU. AND AIM IT. WATCH. DON'T SPILL. COME ON OUT HERE. HI. COME HERE. JIMMY, I NEED SOME OF THAT FOOD. AIM IT OUT TO THIS GUY. THESE ARE OSTRICH. . >> Jimmy: THERE YOU GO, OSTRICHES, ENJOY THAT FOOD. EAT UP. THEY HAVE NO MANNERS AT ALL, DO THEY? >> THAT'S ALL RIGHT. NOW YOU CAN HOLD HIM. >> Jimmy: GUYS, I GOT SOME OF THIS STUFF FOR YOU. OH, YEAH. THERE YOU GO. >> ARE THEY GOING TO GO AND GET PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE? >> THEY'LL STAY WITH THE FOOD. >> THAT GUY'S EXPLORING. >> KEEGAN, COME ON UP. WHILE THEY'RE EATING, YOU CAN FEEL HOW SOFT THEY ARE. THIS GUY'S ONLY ABOUT THREE MONTHS OLD. THE BIG MALES CAN BE 250 POUNDS AND THEY'LL STAND UP OVER MY HEAD. >> Jimmy: ARE THEY REALLY DUMB? >> VERY BIG. ANOTHER INTERESTING THING ABOUT THESE GUYS IS PEOPLE THINK, THEY'RE JUST A BIRD. BUT THEY CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. YOU SEE THAT BIG TOE DOWN THERE? >> HE AIN'T PLAYING. >> SO MOST OF THEIR WEIGHT IS IN THEIR LEGS SO THEIR ABILITY TO KICK IS UNBELIEVABLE AND THAT BIG TOE, THAT NAIL, WILL BECOME THREE TO FOUR INCHES LONG SO WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE TO DEFEND THEIR TERRITORY, THEY CAN ACTUALLY BE QUITE AGGRESSIVE. >> I'M GLADD YOU TOLD ME THAT. >> Jimmy: THIS IS THE WEIRDEST EATING I'VE EVER SEEN. >> DO YOU WANT TO TOUCH HIM WHILE HE EATS? >> Jimmy: NO, I DON'T WANT TO TOUCH ANY OF THE ANIMALS. >> THEY LOOK A LOT IKE DINOSAURS. THESE GUYS ARE CLOSELY RELATED TO DINOSAURS. WE THINK ALL DINOSAURS EVOLVED INTO BIRDS. >> Jimmy: COULD THE ALLIGATOR T BIG ONE, EAT THESE TWO? >> OH, YEAH. >> Jimmy: COULD WE GET HIM OUT HERE? I DON'T KNOW, IT'S JUST A -- IT'S HAKUNA MATATA. >> THAT WOULD BE A RATINGS SWEEP. KEY, AND THERE'S A GIRAFFE IN OUR STUDIO, A BABY GIRAFFE, YEAH? >> THIS IS A BABY GIRAFFE, ABOUT FIVE MONTHS OLD. >> Jimmy: THANK YOU FOR THE FLOWERS. >> HE'S GOING TO TRY TO EAT THIS MAYBE. FIRST THING YOU'LL NOTICE IS THAT HE'S GOT A VERY BIG, LONG TONGUE. HIS TONGUE CAN BE 21 INCHES. >> REALLY. >> Jimmy: WOW. >> THEY HAVE SOMETHING INTERESTING IN THEIR ABILITY TO EAT. IN AFRICA, A LOT OF THE LEAVES HAVE THORNS ALL OVER THEM AND THEY RELEASE A TANNIN SO ANIMALS CAN'T EAT THEM, WHEREAS HIS MOUTH HAS THICK, THICK SKIN, SO HE DOESN'T GET RIPRICKED BY THE THORNS AND HE CAN EAT THOSE LEAVES. >> THESE ARE NICE SOFT AMERICAN LEAVES. >> WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IS A YOUNG BOY, SUPER CURIOUS, SUPER INTERESTED. >> HE'S JUST CHECKING EVERYTHING OUT. >> INTERESTING THING ABOUT BABY GIRAFFES IS THAT THEY -- >> Jimmy: HI. HOW YOU DOING? HE TOLD ME NOT TO PET YOU. >> THEY HAVE SENSITIVE FUR. IF YOU REACH OUT AND PET HIM, IT MAY STARTLE HIM AND THEY WANT TO PLAY. HE WAS BORN AROUND PEOPLE, BEEN NOTHING BUT TREATED AMAZINGLY BY PEOPLE SO HE THINKS WE'RE ALL HIS FRIENDS. YOU CAN SEE ALL THIS ACTION. >> Jimmy: WE BARELY EVEN KNOW HIM. WHY WOULD HE THINK WE'RE HIS FRIENDS? >> KIDS ALWAYS TRUST PEOPLE. INTERESTING FOR BABIES. MOMS GIVE BIRTH STANDING UP, SO A BABY WHEN THEY'RE BORN, DROPS OVER FIVE FEET. >> Jimmy: REALLY? >> AND SO THEY CAN ACTUALLY GET UP AND RUN WITHIN AN HOUR. >> BABY RUN FAST AFTER AN HOUR? >> YEAH, THESE ARE REAL FAST ANIMALS. WHEN THEY GET OLDER, THEY CAN RUN 65 KILOMETERS AN HOUR. >> Jimmy: IF ONLY I KNEW WHAT THAT MEANT IN MILES, I'D BE VERY IMPRESSED, I'M SURE. >> I'D DO THE CONVERSION BUT I'M CANADIAN. >> MAYBE THE ARGENTINIAN KNOWS. >> GIRAFFE POPULATION HAS BEEN DECREASING BY 40% SO THEY ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO EXTINCTION MOSTLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE LAND USE ISSUES. THERE'S ENCROACHMENT IN WILD SPACES SO THESE GUYS ARE VERY VULNERABLE TO THAT. >> Jimmy: WOW. >> IF YOU LIKE THESE GUYS, THIS IS A GOOD SPECIOUS TO LEARN ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS ANIMALS FACE IN AFRICA SO GO AND RESEARCH, GO TO AN ACCREDITED ZOO, LEARN ABOUT GIRAFFE. >> Jimmy: HOW MUCH IS THIS ONE? BECAUSE MY KIDS WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS. >> ONCE AGAIN, YOU KNOW ME. THESE DON'T MAKE GOOD PETS AT ALL. BECAUSE THEY ARE SO BIG. THIS IS THE TALLEST ANIMAL ON THE PLANET. >> Jimmy: I'M SO SORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WITH TOYS "R" US. >> I HAVE AN INTERESTING QUESTION. DO YOU KNOW WHAT A GROUP OF GIRAFFES IS CALLED? >> Jimmy: NO. >> NO. >> A JOURNEY. >> A JOURNEY OF GIRAFFES. >> Jimmy: LIKE THE BAND? >> EXACTLY LIKE THE BAND. A HUMAN HAS SEVEN VERTEBRA IN ITS NECK. HOW MANY DO YOU THINK A GIRAFFE HAS? >> Jimmy: 12. >> I'M GOING TO SAY LIKE A HUNDRED. >> SEVEN. THE SAME NUMBER AS WE HAVE. >> IN THAT WHOLE NECK? >> Jimmy: DOES HE KNOW THAT? >> I DON'T KNOW IF HE DOES. ANOTHER FUN THING. LOOK AT THE TOP OF HIS HORNS THERE, NICE TUFT. AS HE GETS OLDER, THOSE TUFTS ARE GOING TO GO BALD, BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE WRESTLING AND THE SPARRING HE LIKES TO DO. IS THAT'S HOW YOU CAN TELL THE SEX OF A GIRAFFE WHEN YOU SEE THEM IN THE WILD. IF THEY HAVE BALD HORNS, THEY'RE MALES. AND IF THEY HAVE THOSE TUFTS, USUALLY FEMALES. >> Jimmy: JUST LIKE HUMANS. BALD MEN AND HAIRY WOMEN. THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. >> HE'S A GROWING BOY. >> ANOTHER INTERESTING FACT IS THEIR HEART CAN BE TWO FEET AND 25 POUNDS. >> Jimmy: HOLD ON. TWO FEET AND 25 POUNDS? THAT'S A BIG HEART. >> BECAUSE IT'S GOT TO PUMP ALL THE WAY UP TO THAT BIG HEAD THERE. >> Jimmy: YEAH. WOW. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL -- DOES IT COME IN OTHER PATTERNS AS WELL? OH. I WAS A LITTLE -- YEAH. >> IT'S A LOT LIKE A FINGERPRINT. THEIR PATTERNS ARE UNIQUE SO THAT PATTERN IS COMPLETELY HIS OWN. >> Jimmy: RIGHT. >> THAT'S GREAT. HEY, BIG GUY. >> Jimmy: WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A BREAK. "ANIMAL BITES WITH DAVE SALMONI" IS ON FACEBOOK WATCH. WILL YOU HAVE THE GIRAFFE ON THAT? >> I HOPE SO. I'LL INVITE HIM. >> Jimmy: WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WHAT'S THIS, DAVE? >> IT'S AN ALPACA. >> Jimmy: IT LOOKS LIKE A STUFFED ANIMAL. >> IT FEELS LIKE A STUFFED ANIMAL. >> Jimmy: CAN WE HAVE THIS ONE? >> YOU CAN. THESE GUYS ARE A DOMESTIC ANIMAL. THIS IS ONE YOU CAN HAVE. >> Jimmy: THIS IS GOING TO BE MY GIFT TO YOU AND YOUR WIFE FOR YOUR WEDDING. CONGRATULATIONS. >> HI. WELCOME HOME. >> Jimmy: HAPPY WEDDING. THANKS FOR WATCHING. GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY. >> YOU'RE GOING TO BE MY KID.
