Wild Animals with Dave Salmoni & Tracy Morgan - Summary

Summary

The conversation features Dave Salmoni, a large predator expert for Animal Planet, discussing various animals with Jimmy Fallon. They start with a lesser anteater, which is a smaller version of the bigger ones. Salmoni explains that the anteater doesn't normally eat applesauce but tries different things to see what they might like. They also discuss a baby zebra, explaining that they are not small horses but are much more aggressive. Salmoni also talks about the contention about whether zebras are white or black, and they discuss the theories about the stripes on zebras.

They then move on to armadillos, discussing their screaming and hairy nature. Salmoni explains that they roll into a ball when threatened, and if they see a predator coming, they will scream. He also explains that they have claws perfect for digging at bugs to eat.

Finally, they talk about a Galapagos centipede, explaining that they are venomous but don't bite things to death. They are strong enough to actually kill an adult mouse. They also discuss a sloth named Shirley, explaining that they live almost entirely in trees and that their arm hair grows away because they are upside down in the rainforest all the time. The rain washes off them, leaving them almost bald.

The conversation ends with Fallon thanking Salmoni for appearing on the show and promoting "Puppy Bowl 15" on Animal Planet, which airs Sunday at 3:00 PM Eastern.
