What's that on Bindi Irwin's tongue?

However, looks can be deceiving, and Bindi's rep confirms to ET that she has no piercing on her tongue.

Bindi was with ET and her dancing partner Derek Hough this week, where, as expected, she didn't appear to have anything on her tongue. What she did have, however, was a cutie koala named after Derek!
"This is your namesake!" Bindi told Derek (Hough, not the koala).

"It's one of the coolest things that's ever happened," the 30-year-old DWTS pro told ET. "To have an animal named after you is amazing."
