Transcript

00:00In this episode of Croc Diaries, the zoo is pushed to the limits with record crowds.

00:07My serpent mates brave the firin' line.

00:11Bindi's heroes, the Wiggles, perform specially for her.

00:30Australia Zoo is goin' absolutely ballistic.

00:56We've been workin' hard, expandin' fast, and by crikey,

00:59we've got a big problem on our hands.

01:01The word is out. Australia's version of Independence Day, Australia Day,

01:05is about to break loose here at the zoo.

01:09Easy way to catch Bruce is just put me there and he just attacks me so easily.

01:13He'll follow me anywhere to attack me.

01:15You've been a bad bird, Bruce. Come on, Bruce.

01:18He'll just attack me.

01:20Oh, crikey. What a time for Bruce to get out.

01:30We're all flat out like lizards drinkin'.

01:32One of the biggest days the zoo's ever had.

01:35And my brolga decides to go walkabout.

01:47Now he's gonna put on a turn.

01:50Yep, cranky as anything. Have a go at this.

01:57This bloke's got attitude.

01:59He totally refuses to share his territory with anyone

02:02except his drop-dead gorgeous girlfriend, Woodstock.

02:05And look out, anyone who dares to clean up his mess.

02:09How am I supposed to get any work done here?

02:12Bruce was hand-raised from an egg.

02:14He's never actually mated with his girlfriend,

02:17but he thinks he's a human, and he reckons he's the boss.

02:28Any distraction is good.

02:30The only way we can clean up in here is to clean up in here.

02:34Any distraction is good.

02:36The only way we can clean up in here

02:38is to give him something else to attack, like Stuart's feet.

02:41Naughty boy, Bruce.

02:43That buys us time to rake and make a speedy escape.

02:46But Bruce wins again.

02:51Up, up, DJ. Up, up.

02:58Push. Push. Push.

03:04It started early and it never stopped.

03:06People pouring through the gate

03:08to celebrate Australia Day at Australia Zoo.

03:11Every animal possible is out there to meet the visitors

03:15for a hands-on experience,

03:17and fingers crossed that there's going to be enough tucker to go round.

03:20Did you want to give him a gentle pat?

03:27Give her a big kiss.

03:29We reckon when people touch an animal,

03:32they in turn are touched,

03:34which makes it easier for us to conserve.

03:47Every time we expand Australia Zoo,

03:50the crowds just get bigger and it fills right up all over again.

03:56Australia Day set a new attendance record

03:59with every animal demo packed to the max.

04:02As you can see, when you throw this in,

04:04you watch Bonnie's ears.

04:06They'll float right back.

04:10You'll often see otters, like, swimming on their backs,

04:13chewing on muscles on their stomachs.

04:15These guys, they don't actually do that.

04:17Very good.

04:19When you do come across the snake,

04:21first thing you do, kids, is stand virtually still.

04:24Just take nice, slow steps back away from the snake.

04:28It's very, very hard to demonstrate the power of crocodile,

04:31but Graeme here can crush a two-stroke.

04:36Everyone's been flat out all day,

04:38pushing our capabilities to the limit.

04:40But times like these really proves

04:43who's got the best zoo staff in the world.

04:51Thanks, mate.

04:58Meanwhile, outside Australia Zoo, animals still need to be saved.

05:02Hi, how are you going?

05:04Just look out cos he usually comes out.

05:06Oh, he's beautiful, isn't he?

05:08Beautiful.

05:10A barn owl's an unusual rescue.

05:13Not because they're rare.

05:15You find them all over Australia and most of the world as well.

05:18But you just don't see a lot of barn owls during daylight hours.

05:22They're nocturnal.

05:25This bloke's been attacked by crows.

05:27He's lost, confused, and we need to check him out back at the zoo.

05:36He's a bit feisty.

05:38Apparently he was up in the tree and a couple of crows got to him

05:41and he actually fell out of the tree after the crows finished with him

05:44and Dad apparently tried to put him back up

05:46but he fell straight back out again.

05:48He's absolutely beautiful, but he's pretty feisty.

05:50First thing to do is a full physical to see if there's any hidden injuries.

05:54Can you just get that over his head?

05:57I just don't want to let him go.

06:02Oh, we've got a wing.

06:06I'll just adjust it.

06:08He was attacked by crows in a tree and he fell out of the tree.

06:12He might have gathered and he wouldn't get it together again.

06:16Barn owls have the most amazing feather structure

06:19that muffles the flapping of their wings.

06:22They're the silent predator.

06:27How does it feel?

06:29It's strong.

06:31His wings are fine.

06:33It looks like he's only suffering from stress

06:36so we'll be able to release him after sunset.

06:39The ASZK is coming, but don't worry,

06:42we're not going to need the armed forces or the police.

06:45It's the Australasian Society of Zookeepers,

06:48which gives us the opportunity to showcase all of our techniques

06:52and our exhibits.

06:57Like just about every other zoological facility,

07:00we share information methods

07:02and some of the techniques we use in the zoo

07:05Like just about every other zoological facility,

07:08we share information methods and sometimes even animals.

07:12Visitors like these are a chance to get close to wildlife

07:16that some have never encountered before.

07:19And we help each other achieve the common goal,

07:23and that's making people love animals in the cause of conservation.

07:27Some I feel very comfortable with here at the zoo.

07:30I'll hop in their cage, I'll move around in there.

07:33What I'll do, I'll do it.

07:35They'll just come up, have a flick of their tongue,

07:37and off they go, that's it.

07:39But once again, you'll just be nice and easy with them.

07:44Get the same thing back.

07:46These little King Browns here,

07:49we're actually going to raise them up to be demonstration snakes.

07:52The reason why we picked the King Brown

07:54is because these guys get to be a really big size

07:56so they're impressive for the public

07:58and these guys really quieten down really well.

08:00There's always a lot of knowledge to share in every situation.

08:05That shrike is around about half their body length,

08:08and that's from the tip of his nose to the base of his tail.

08:10Just jump in, Richie, and spin him back around.

08:15Pretty important to be able to identify dangerous areas.

08:19That whole bank along there

08:21is around about seven to eight foot from the water's edge.

08:25When Monty's really hot and puts on a really good strike,

08:27he can lunge from the water to the fence in one go.

08:29What we might do next is we'll head over to Agro's enclosure,

08:33which is directly next door,

08:35and we'll do a little bit of a mowing demonstration

08:37to show you how we mow.

08:39We basically mow all of our crocodile enclosures

08:43once a week here at Australia Zoo.

08:45Over the years, we've slowly started to cut

08:48more and more and more of the grass out of the way

08:50as the zoo's popularity has grown.

08:53So when we're mowing, you see Agro's head there.

08:56It pops up, and there's Cookie over there.

08:58So what you do is you get the mower, quickly come over here,

09:01mow very, very quickly near the water's edge.

09:04None of the saltwater crocs like mowers,

09:07but Agro, he absolutely hates them.

09:10We've almost lost count of how many times

09:13he's killed a mower and taken it into his pond.

09:16He lunges, grabs the mower, drags it into the water and kills it.

09:20Crikey, he's a naughty boy.

09:23Good try, Agro. He's a good crocodile,

09:26and he's just guarding his territory.

09:28And the freshies, by crikey, they can be a handful.

09:31Come all the way now, all the way, all the way.

09:33Oh, good girl.

09:35Now, I really wanted to show you these freshwater crocodiles.

09:39They'll be a little bit excitable from home

09:41because I've just brought in a white food bucket,

09:43but there you go.

09:45But then they're going to settle down,

09:47and these freshwater crocodiles,

09:50and these freshwater crocodiles were caught back in the 1970s.

09:54Steve and Bob caught them up in the Gulf of Carpentaria

09:57building a big dam up there.

09:59They were dynamiting a series of water holes,

10:01and the poor little freshwater crocodiles

10:03were getting blown up in the process.

10:05So Steve and Bob went up and rescued these freshies

10:07and brought them back here to Australia Zoo.

10:09When we mow the enclosure in here,

10:11I think, you know, sunning time for the crocodiles

10:13is a very, very important part of their day.

10:15So we try and come in here first thing in the morning

10:17and watch the crocodiles get out, run around, do the mowing,

10:19get that out of the way.

10:21That gives them the whole day to themselves.

10:23And finally, a demonstration of raw power.

10:31Isn't that awesome?

10:33Well, that's our crocodile.

10:35Thanks.

10:37Thanks a lot.

10:39Coming up, a very confused koala

10:42and a dangerous first aid for a deadly snake.

10:48♪♪♪

10:55Here we've got a beautiful little female koala

10:58and a big, boofy male koala.

11:00But what happens when the worlds collide?

11:04When you've got boy parts and girl parts

11:07all on the same koala?

11:09That's called being a hermaphrodite.

11:11And when that occurs, sometimes surgery is required.

11:14The doctor has determined we need to neuter this boy-girl koala

11:19so that there aren't any problems in the future

11:22with his boy bits.

11:25So that's what we're going to do.

11:27It's a condition that we've never seen before in a koala.

11:31Hi, koala. He's big.

11:33He's huge.

11:37Look at his googly eyes.

11:39Googly.

11:42Oh, I think he might be a little bit quiet.

11:45Look at you.

11:47Googly eyes. Look at your eyes.

11:49They're googly.

11:51Yep. Once I dislodge the claws from my left arm.

11:58Okay. Okay.

12:00Here, sweetie.

12:02They're not used to being held.

12:04Cured. Cured.

12:06No treatment.

12:08So what you're doing is you have a pouch.

12:11There's no teeth.

12:13And call him a he with a pouch.

12:15He's got a scent gland.

12:17Yeah, he's got a scent gland.

12:19No worries about health.

12:21Hermie was so happy that she started eating

12:24as soon as she arrived here at Australia Zoo.

12:27This poor little koala was hand-raised

12:30and can't be released back into the wild

12:32because it would be a confusing problem

12:34with other koalas at mating time.

12:36And we're getting advice from Dr. Chris, the vet,

12:39to work out what's the best thing to do.

12:42Bright-eyed, bushy tail.

12:44Yeah.

12:46Ate a lot.

12:47Yeah. As soon as he came in, he started eating.

12:49He doesn't have external testicles.

12:51No.

12:55He's not going to be a breeding animal.

13:00Come here, matey.

13:02Oh, sorry, Chris.

13:05There's a little teeth.

13:07Two little teeth.

13:09Is that what they would look like on an immature female?

13:12Yep.

13:14Is that the ringworm that he had?

13:16Yeah, he's got hair growth now.

13:22Sorry, Hermie.

13:24I don't know what the answer is,

13:26but I think it would be silly not to consider

13:29removing them.

13:31The figure's 15 times the chance of a normal testes

13:34becoming cancerous.

13:36So normal testes don't become cancerous that often.

13:39But again, not shockingly uncommon in older animals.

13:43And it's not a difficult thing?

13:45No, they're both pale before.

13:47It wouldn't be a difficult surgery.

13:49But, you know, it's a hard one

13:51because he's not a domestic animal

13:54and surgical intervention is not without its risks

13:57and it's not without its stresses as well.

14:00So you have to weigh all that up.

14:02So Hermie's going to end up closer to a girl than a boy

14:05and can look forward to a safe and comfortable life

14:08here at the zoo.

14:11Richard's about to give first aid

14:13to an incredibly dangerous eastern brown snake.

14:17Here he goes.

14:19He's in no mood to be mucked with

14:22and he's going ballistic.

14:26It's a band.

14:28Up.

14:32If this bloke tags Richard,

14:34he'll get injected by the second most deadly snake in the world.

14:37And on top of that, he's lightning fast and super cranky.

14:41If you ask me, that makes him number one contender

14:44for the most dangerous snake of all.

14:46Richard's got to wrangle him on the rubber pad

14:49so he can restrain him and get to the injury with safety.

14:54Bam, bam.

14:59Got him. Good work, Richard.

15:05It's a fine line between a safe, firm grip

15:08and not hurting the snake.

15:12And while they're working on the head,

15:14they'll be right in the firing line if he slips free.

15:20There's one injury on the jaw

15:22and now we can see a cut right next to the fangs.

15:29Oh, yeah. He's got a bit of a cut in his mouth.

15:38Oh, he's got a sore on his mouth there.

15:41It's a little bit swollen.

15:44Get squirted first. Get squirting.

15:46A little bit on the end there.

15:49Just on the bottom bit. See that bottom bit?

15:54Ah, that's a bit sore.

15:56A bit swollen.

15:58Just squirt it.

16:00Squirt it in.

16:02You're trying to do the bottom bit.

16:09That'll do him.

16:11That'll do. That'll do.

16:13Letting him go is just as dangerous as catching him in the first place.

16:17For a split second, Richard will be in the snake's deadly strike range.

16:22Are you ready? Get ready.

16:45Strewth, have a go at these good-looking blokes.

16:48Pretty good-looking specimens, ruggedly handsome, truly Australian.

16:53Wow.

16:55Let's just hold it there.

16:57How funny do you think it is with Brian getting fan mail?

17:04Some American girls sent me some fan mail.

17:07Really?

17:09Brian.

17:10You're getting fan mail now, mate.

17:12The girls are writing.

17:13The girls and I have been wanting to write to you since we got back from Australia.

17:18Aw, isn't that cute?

17:20We love you. We love you and your crocodiles.

17:24And if you come over, how much Mexican food can you eat?

17:28Wow, I'm coming with you.

17:30Is that what they said? I like Mexican food.

17:32You have to go to San Diego now.

17:34That's really nice. I've been to San Diego.

17:36Well, don't let them down. You're going back.

17:38You can't let them down.

17:40After the break, the zoo tested to the limit and a tazzy devil does real damage.

17:55Australia Day was huge.

17:58We broke every record for attendance that we ever set before.

18:02Now the next big holiday is going to be Easter.

18:06Can we cope?

18:08Easter should be even bigger and with free breakfast, live entertainment,

18:13stacks of demonstrations and exciting games for the kids,

18:17we know everybody who's anybody is going to be at Australia Zoo.

18:22Okay, I've just got everyone here.

18:24You know that this is probably going to be the next few days are going to be very, very hectic.

18:28It's Easter, of course, and it's probably our biggest time of the year.

18:31So I just wanted to run through a couple of things so this all runs as smoothly as we possibly can.

18:36Firstly, for croc demos, we're going to do three croc demos today, Briano.

18:40We need to probably hook up with Steve and find out which ones he wants to do today, tomorrow and Sunday and Monday.

18:46We need to do the old deal with moving people through if we do Grahams or whoever.

18:52So have at least three people helping you the way we always do with the radios and so on.

18:56So that all goes nice and clean.

18:58So most importantly, what we need to do is I've got a lot of extra staff on today.

19:02So everyone needs to go with reptiles, mammals, exotics and get everything in the zoo spot on.

19:13Woo, right from the start, it was obvious that this was going to be a steamer of a weekend

19:19with hundreds lined up before we even opened the gates.

19:23I built this new car park and you just filled it.

19:26Admissions is chock up. It's just a whole car park full of people that can't get in.

19:31They got a bit of a kick.

19:33We've got snakes and koalas.

19:35We've jammed every vehicle we can into the car park.

19:39It's a real test to see just how many cars we can accommodate.

19:44So it looks like the very next thing that they're going to have to build is another car park.

19:49We've changed shirts.

19:51It's animals to the rescue out there on the front line, giving everyone a preview of what's going on inside the gate.

20:01We need to find a cut-off point and go,

20:03OK, now everybody who's arriving at 10 o'clock, from you on, you have access to muffins, the breakfast is over.

20:09So everyone in line finishes and then from this person on, it's now 10 o'clock, bomb.

20:14We'll go through and give people a piece of pink paper or something along the way.

20:18That's it, your breakfast, that's it, you don't have pink paper, you don't get breakfast or something.

20:23Whatever, we'll cut a line or whatever.

20:26We've only got 200 muffins.

20:28They'll munch through this lot in no time at all.

20:31Zombies ship them blocks all day to get them all.

20:34Tina is doing the voucher so that at 10 o'clock, everyone gets a voucher and it's shut off.

20:40And then the only place muffins are going to be is at admissions.

20:43So that as people come in and pick up their lunches, they're going to get a voucher.

20:46And then we're going to go through and give everyone a piece of pink paper.

20:51And then the only place muffins are going to be is at admissions.

20:53So that as people come in and pick up their lunches, they're going to get a voucher.

20:55And then we're going to go through and give everyone a piece of pink paper.

20:57And then we're going to go through and give everyone a piece of pink paper.

21:04Yep, that'll work.

21:06Mrs. Herrera does the best muffins.

21:08We've got 200 a day.

21:09She's done 800 muffins for Easter.

21:17And Maria helped.

21:18She gave them all the stamp of approval.

21:31As well as all the Easter goodies, there's live music, a good old Aussie barbecue,

21:36and of course, all of our exciting educational shows, including the hard-hitting Saltwater Cross.

21:43Without further ado, I'll just hand you over to Siva.

21:491.30, we do agro. That's going to be heavy.

21:53And even if we do one crop tomorrow, we're going to have to do this guy or agro.

21:58There's no way we're going to be able to get anywhere else in.

22:01So we'll probably have to do Murray and Akko at 11 or something like that.

22:07Same time or something like that, yeah.

22:08At 11, and then go for 1.30, it'll have to be Graham or agro.

22:18I see you.

22:20Here you go, buddy.

22:22Here's an idiot.

22:27I see you, you're all here.

22:31Can I borrow your fences?

22:33Thanks very much for putting up with the crowded conditions.

22:37I built those ramps there just a couple of months ago.

22:40I've just finished the new car park, and you guys built it.

22:44Thanks for that.

22:51Thanks very much.

22:52Every other show, just as popular.

22:55Especially where our visitors can interact directly with the animals.

22:59And where they can take a close look at the world's deadliest venomous snakes.

23:05This is the largest in the world.

23:17And of course, there's always got to be at least one naughty boy to make life interesting.

23:29Did he hang on?

23:30Yeah, he went straight through the douche.

23:34There, he came up and just jumped, grabbed it, and then had to stick it in the air.

23:40Boy, crikey, those tazzy devils can bite.

23:42They can chomp straight through a cow's leg.

23:46I wouldn't want to have Corey's fingers right now.

23:49That's got to hurt.

23:53Okay, this is going to be nice and painful.

23:55Serious?

23:56Probably.

23:58Even though there's a bit of wear and tear on all of us at big times like Easter holidays,

24:02our aim is to make sure everyone has a good day.

24:10The big crocs get to use all the skills they would normally use in the wild during our feeding demonstrations.

24:16They get to show their power and cunning as they work to get a meal.

24:32Our love for the nature is the most important thing in the world.

24:57Guess how many?

24:59Well, somebody said around 3,000.

25:013,096.

25:03No way!

25:083,096?

25:10This deserves a big kiss.

25:17We did 3,096.

25:19That's 1,000 more than our last record.

25:24High five.

25:28Unbelievable.

25:29Why do I got a headache?

25:31I can't believe you got them all in and fed them.

25:38What's tomorrow going to be like?

25:39It won't be this big.

25:40Oh, no.

25:42In just a moment, overcoming a fear of snakes and an escapee has his wings clipped.

25:50That's one day of Easter down and more to go.

25:52The first day pushed us to the limits and now it's on again.

25:56At least we now know what to expect on a big holiday.

25:59But today there are extra surprises, even more challenges to overcome.

26:04This is our final contestant in the hunt to become the CFM Rock and Roll Chicken.

26:08Interestingly enough, Melissa is scared of creepy crawlies.

26:12So we're out here at the Crocodile Hunters Australia Zoo and she will be tackling a 130 kilo python.

26:21Oh, this is it.

26:23This is it.

26:28What does it feel like on your body?

26:30Apart from being really heavy, it's really strong. It's moving my legs now.

26:39Now, as I speak, our final contestant, or I should say,

26:43This is the worst job interview I've ever done.

26:47Is laying down on her back at the entrance to a Steve Irwin,

26:51The Crocodile Hunters Australia Zoo here at Biwa.

26:54And she has dazzled the python absolutely all over.

26:57You probably hear it in the background moaning and groaning.

26:59Melissa, you're a bit scared of the creepy crawling situation.

27:03How are you feeling at the moment?

27:05Oh, my God.

27:07Oh, my God.

27:08He's putting his hand near my face.

27:09He's licking me on the lips.

27:17Give him a kiss.

27:20Oh, it's in my ear.

27:22Crikey.

27:25She can say that again. Crikey.

27:28If we thought early Easter crowds were huge, Easter Sunday beat them hands down.

27:335,000 visitors came through the gate.

27:36A huge reward for all the work we've done expanding the zoo with bigger facilities,

27:41more animals, more contact with wildlife and even more wildlife demo.

27:59Okay, welcome into Australia Zoo.

28:02This is the crocodile that bit me most wet.

28:08Wildlife, he's got food poisoning now.

28:11Wes is doing all right.

28:12When you stride that, mate, you pull up your scarf.

28:14Have a look at the size of these.

28:18Hang on a minute.

28:22We don't know where he is.

28:23He's supposed to be here.

28:26Oh, you're a naughty boy, Graham.

28:29You see how hard this bloke is?

28:323,000 pounds per square inch.

28:35That's how much power crocodiles have got.

28:38And ask Wes just how much it hurts when they hit.

28:413,000 pounds per square inch meant when he bit Wes a minute ago.

28:59Even he a little goofy.

29:01We love Graham.

29:02Even though Wes still carries the scars and a bit of pain from Graham taking chunks of his thighs,

29:08he's right back into it, feeding the big bloke and challenging him to have another go.

29:24Terry and Bindi share the day with all of our visitors.

29:27A great family day.

29:28A day that has been an even greater success.

29:32What a great crocodile.

29:37Thanks for coming to Australia, too.

29:39And good on you, mate.

29:40Good on you.

29:54Chloe loves nothing better than to hang out with visitors to the zoo.

29:58She likes a scratch and a pat.

30:00But not all birds get to do that.

30:02In fact, Pete the cormorant is supposed to stay in his enclosure in the wetlands.

30:07But sometimes Pete's feathers get so long that he sneaks out.

30:12You're going to see what it's like to try to catch a cormorant on the loose.

30:17Pete is one cunning bird.

30:19Pretends he can't fly and the next thing he's outside lurking in the prickliest palm tree you can find.

30:29If Pete gets away, he's in heaps of trouble.

30:32He's a rehabilitated bird and hasn't got any idea about survival.

30:37Thanks, mate.

30:38Thanks, girls.

30:39Thanks.

30:40You'll be all right.

30:41We've got plenty of time.

30:42Does he move?

30:43You go at one side.

30:44I'll go at the other.

30:45I think that'll be the easiest.

30:46I mean, he's not...

30:47You want to try and keep him in those plants there.

30:49Otherwise, if he gets out, then he can go pretty quick along the ground.

30:54See if you can keep him occupied.

30:56Come around.

31:03Do you know the coolness of this?

31:09Sorry, mate.

31:10We've got to put you in today.

31:12You're down to 60.

31:13I think.

31:15Yep.

31:19He's over there.

31:20Sorry, Petey.

31:21We have to do it.

31:22Wind clipping doesn't hurt the bird and he'll be grounded for his own safety.

31:28I think we've got to just keep him contained somewhere for a minute until we decide...

31:34What's the best thing to do?

31:36Sorry.

31:38Sorry, mate.

31:41Welcome back up.

31:42That's fine.

31:43Yeah, lovely one.

31:44Sorry about that.

31:45We'll be back when world sporting legends mix it up with the reptiles.

31:53They're all under 25.

31:54Did you see that?

31:55Yeah.

31:56They're so tiki-tiki to us.

31:57They're all young.

31:59Hey, enjoy.

32:00I'm going to do snake photo this morning.

32:02Yeah.

32:03Yeah.

32:04What do I?

32:05Guess.

32:08Because you're down, but now I've cancelled you out.

32:12Because there's 20 girls from Utah.

32:14Boy, there's 25.

32:1540.

32:1640 girls from Utah, all rocked up.

32:18So, do you mind if he swaps with you?

32:20If 40 blokes from Utah rock up, you can go back on.

32:23When 40 guys from Utah rock up, I'll put you on their stick.

32:26Okay, Brian.

32:27I suppose.

32:29That's very nice of you.

32:41You alligators are really funny.

32:46Oh, I see you, Barney.

32:48Here's one bloke that you don't want to go surfing with.

32:51I've just heard that the surf's up, and I've had me mate, Kelly Slater,

32:55six times world champion in the zoo with the alligators.

32:59Have a go at this.

33:01Come here, you.

33:02Hey, how's it going?

33:04Hey, great.

33:05Nice to see you again.

33:06Hey, how are you?

33:07Hey, Kelly, how is it, mate?

33:10What happened?

33:11I don't know.

33:12I lost it.

33:13Oh, no.

33:16Hey, John, how are you, mate?

33:18How are you?

33:19How are you doing?

33:20Yeah, yeah.

33:22Hey, he's going.

33:23It's just this one croc.

33:24I'll have to wear him out a bit first.

33:26Because he's...

33:27Well, all the big soldiers are on fire at the moment.

33:29They're like...

33:30They're peaking.

33:32No, no, no, no.

33:34Trust me.

33:35Come on in.

33:37Brian, I just keep Fang 2 off our back.

33:39Come in, come in, mate.

33:40Come in.

33:44Come on, big fella.

33:45Got to fade to this side.

33:47There you go.

33:49There's a good, gentle boy.

33:52You go back and eat that.

33:53Back up, back up, back up.

33:59All right, you want to try this girl now?

34:01Come on, babe.

34:02Not you, big Barney.

34:03The thing is, mate, if she charges you,

34:05you actually run quicker backwards than she can come forward.

34:08Come on, babe.

34:09Barney, not you, dopey.

34:11These blokes are my heroes, and I love surfing,

34:14so having them here at the zoo is a real buzz.

34:18Toss me another one, mate.

34:21I reckon some of the gnarliest waves that Kelly handles

34:25takes more guts than feeding a few hungry alligators.

34:30How about Fang 1, mate?

34:31Are you ready for it?

34:32Kelly's nicely warmed up.

34:34He's really enjoying the adrenaline rush

34:36from being so close to an apex predator.

34:49Good stuff, and it seems we're going to catch up

34:52with another one of the world's all-time greatest surfers.

35:00Yeah, mate.

35:02Oh, hey, how you going, mate?

35:04Made it, eh?

35:05Yeah.

35:06Yeah, that's the guy.

35:07Yeah, nice one.

35:08Classic.

35:09Yeah, you, you're the classic, mate.

35:11I'm the lame one.

35:12Yeah, really, thank you for taking us here.

35:15While Tom's daughter is feeding flowers to our good old Harriet,

35:18it's time for something a bit more extreme.

35:25Come on, big fella.

35:27Come on, big fella.

35:30Come on then, hugs.

35:31Come on then, big fella.

35:32There's a good boy.

35:33There's a good croc.

35:38What a good boy.

35:39Tommy Carroll and Kelly Slater

35:41both want to feed Australia's hardest-hitting predator.

35:45A saltwater croc.

35:49Yeah, I can get you to feed him,

35:51but this is not like an alligator, mate, so...

35:55..no risks.

35:56But, you know, the routine, eh?

35:58When he sees the food, you're good.

36:00You're great.

36:01Just keep whittling it and he'll know it's the food.

36:03But I'll take the sting out of him first.

36:05Just slow him up a little.

36:06Come on then, Marty.

36:07Come on, hit it, buddy.

36:09There's a good boy.

36:11There you go.

36:12Come on, come on, come on.

36:13There's a good boy.

36:14Good boy.

36:15All right.

36:22Yep, and make no mistake,

36:24this crocodile will kill him and eat him

36:27if he gets half a chance.

36:35You're good, mate.

36:36He's staring at the food.

36:40Ooh.

36:45Ooh.

36:48Yeah!

36:49Good stuff.

36:55Just work with...

36:56You just work with Brian, eh, yeah?

37:04Just move in a bit closer, Tommy.

37:06That's it, he's got you.

37:08Where is he?

37:12Yo.

37:13Oh, yeah.

37:24Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

37:2840.

37:33Norwegian girls.

37:34Oh, the Norwegian girls.

37:38Oh, yeah.

37:41Let me tell you about Bali.

37:44They go to me, um...

37:46Are you, like, the young croc hunter?

37:48Yeah, that's it.

37:49Oh, yeah.

37:51Brian, he's demeaning.

37:53Brian's like a brother.

37:55Taught me everything I know.

37:56About crocs did Brian.

37:59Another sports star,

38:00American sprinter Marion Jones.

38:03What do we have over here?

38:05Oh, yeah, this is a Burmese fighter.

38:08Bindi's kissing it on the lips,

38:10so that should reassure

38:11the fastest woman in the world.

38:13That's pretty well safe.

38:18No, no, you're all right.

38:20She's pretty heavy, isn't she?

38:22Here you go, mate.

38:26It's great to see our special guests

38:28come to the zoo to see our wildlife

38:30and leave with once-in-a-lifetime experience.

38:34Here you are.

38:35Hey, sweetheart.

38:36Are you gonna talk?

38:37Are you gonna talk?

38:39Wanna kiss?

38:41They're good kissers.

38:43Except for that camel breath, mate.

38:45And after the camels,

38:46Marion meets the cutest animal

38:49followed by the deadliest.

38:50Does that kill me?

38:51No.

38:52Well, here's hoping.

38:58How you doing there, buddy?

38:59Very sharp claws.

39:01How's the smell, eh?

39:02Just smells like gum.

39:03Gum leaves.

39:04Yeah.

39:05Beautiful.

39:07People view snakes as just an evil, ugly monster,

39:10but what I've learnt

39:12is that they're just like people, you know?

39:14They've got personalities.

39:15Some are good, some are bad.

39:17Some are tall, some are blonde.

39:19And this, Wes ensures, is a quiet one.

39:25Just see.

39:28Yeah, no worries.

39:34So, Marion, I'd like to bestow you

39:36the greatest honour on the face of the earth.

39:38Come over here, mate.

39:39Like, trust me.

39:40You'll have to trust me.

39:42Yep.

39:43Yep, just drop your bottle of water there

39:45and I'll let you hang on to it.

39:47What you gotta do, mate,

39:48is, um, see, I don't actually grab it.

39:50I just let it go through my hands, yeah?

39:55So just gently put your hand under there.

39:58Ooh, he's looking at me.

39:59Yeah, and use the other one

40:01just to support his body.

40:03That's it, that's good.

40:05Do we need FedEx to bring the venom?

40:07Yeah.

40:08You're doing pretty well.

40:10The fierce snake has the deadliest venom

40:12on the face of the planet.

40:14But have a go at him.

40:15He's like a little pussycat.

40:25Stay with us for some very special guests

40:28who break the record.

40:34Australia Zoo is all about the family.

40:36There's nothing more important in this world.

40:39And we're run by a family,

40:41and we cater for families.

40:43And by crikey, there's nothing more important

40:45in my daughter's life than the Wiggles.

40:48I love the Wiggles!

40:50Me too!

40:51Woo!

40:53Hey, it's Captain Fiddlestick!

41:49Yeah, I'm going to practice with lizards that big.
