Robert Irwin challenges Jimmy Fallon to meet some interesting baby animals

"Tonight Show" regular Robert Irwin stopped by to introduce Jimmy Fallon to some more baby animals, and not all of them were cute and cuddly.

The last few meetings have been pretty memorable, with Fallon proving to be utterly uncomfortable with the creatures. One truly hilarious episode left audience rolling with laughter when he freaked out over a porcupine crawling into his lap. But last night, Irwin took the game up a notch.

The "Animal Planet" star started off easy, with an adorable and energetic sugar glider. Everything was fine until the little guy decided to make a break for it across Fallon’s desk. But Irwin expertly grabbed him by his tail.

It was the next animal that really terrified Fallon though. “Oh usually when they have cute names they are crazier,” Fallon said wincing as Irwin reached behind the chair to grab theses ‘smaller’ animals.

When he shot up, five peppered cockroaches were crawling all over his arm. You can immediately see Fallon recoil. But he had to get involved when one decided to crawl down Irwin’s back. The audience couldn’t stop laughing as Fallon had a full freak out when Irwin tried to get him to hold the creepy crawlers. “Oh no! Please don’t leave one here! Please oh my god, this is a lot of pressure for me,” Fallon yelled.

Though the worst seemed over, Irwin wasn't letting Fallon off that easily. “I want you to trust me on this one, lay on your back and close your eyes,” he said laughing. After much debate, Fallon did so reluctantly. Three baby servals, which are dangerous South African cats, were placed on his chest. The cats played docilely with toys until one of them decided to explore the studio.

To finish up, Irwin brought out a friendly camel who nuzzled Fallon and gave him a big kiss. “Oh my gosh, I just made out with a camel, this is unbelievable.”

Irwin also revealed that his family's show "Cricky, It's the Irwins" has been renewed for a second season.
