Summary

The summary of the conversation is as follows:

Dave Salmoni, a large predator expert for Animal Planet, is a guest on a show where he brings a duffel bag full of raw antelope meat, mistakenly thinking it's a Black Panther. He's nicknamed the Canadian Tarzan and is known for his appearances on Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl.

Salmoni brings out a variety of animals, including an Asian water monitor and a vulture named Dexter. He explains that these animals are perfectly adapted to their environments and discusses their unique features and behaviors. For instance, he explains that the vulture's beak is perfect for picking meat off of bones, and it can smell a carcass from a mile away.

He also introduces a North American porcupine and explains that its quills are only defensive and are used to warn predators away. The porcupine is not a good pet, as it's a nocturnal animal and doesn't play well during the day.

Finally, Salmoni brings out pot-bellied pigs and explains that they're easily trained and can be great comfort animals. He mentions that Puppy Bowl 14 will air on Animal Planet on Sunday at 3 o'clock Eastern.

The host, Jimmy Kimmel, ends the segment by inviting viewers to subscribe to their channel and watch their latest videos.
