Robert Irwin surprises Jimmy Fallon with a baby kangaroo

Jimmy Fallon must love Robert Irwin as it was his third time in four months appearing on The Tonight Show in the US on Wednesday.

The son of the legendary Steve Irwin didn’t fail to disappoint bringing along a whole host of creatures to teach Jimmy about.

Robert introduced the TV host to Hazel, an eight-month-old baby kangaroo. Watch above.

The 13-year-old managed to get Jimmy to leave the comfort of his desk and got him on his hands and knees to feed the little joey kangaroo.

Jimmy described Hazel as a “little bunny rabbit kind of thing” while kneeling down to feed her.

Robert then encouraged the host to blow on her face to introduce himself properly but it didn’t quite work out for him.

The animal-lover professional showed the host how it was done receiving a little nuzzle from baby Hazel.

The show also played host to other animals including baby warthogs, a North American badger, a baby snapping turtle and a 100-year-old snapping turtle.

It seemed to be the baby snapping turtle, named Donatella, that freaked Jimmy out the most despite only being the size of his hand! Watch below.

He was startled by the little turtle moving his neck shouting: “Ah! Ah! Ah! Robert take him!”

This wasn’t the first time Robert took Jimmy out of his comfort zone, the teenager previously brought a snake to the show which terrified the host.
