Oh, wait, it's coming back.
0:03
Oh, wait, it's going to you.
0:05
I hope you took it.

I'm Robert Irwin, and today I'm here to answer the Nat Geo 9.
0:13
I'd say hang in there.
0:14
You got one year until you're allowed to feed your first crocodile.
0:17
I would watch my dad feeding crocs and think, "Oh, it's gonna be me one day."
0:21
So I asked every day.
0:23
My mom said, "Listen, you gotta be double digits."
0:27
Malala Yousafzai, of course.
0:30
Let's go RBG, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
0:33
Johnny Cash.
0:34
Ooh, Ewan McGregor.
0:36
Frans Lanting, one of my favorite wildlife photographers.
0:39
Robert Downey Jr.
0:40
Definitely an environmentalist.
0:42
It's gotta be Attenborough.
0:44
I mean, if we're talking about anyone, it'd be cool to have my dad there.
0:47
I think that'd spice things up a little bit.
0:48
That's gonna be some very interesting conversation.
0:52
South America is just always a place that has been top of my list.
0:57
I cannot believe I haven't been there, I just love it.
1:01
A little campfire,
1:02
a guitar,
1:03
some family and friends around,
1:05
and some good discussion.
1:07
100%.
1:08
That is 6:00 p.m. sorted, and knowing that I'll be in bed
1:11
in about two and a half hours.
1:12
Party animal over here.
1:16
Do it now. Have fun.
1:18
Don't wait, seize every opportunity and go for it.
1:21
I think about that particularly as a conservationist,
1:23
as someone who is passionate in advocating for the environment.
1:27
We need action very, very quickly.
1:30
Ah, carrots.
1:31
I love carrots.
1:34
I'll pack a carrot with me as a snack.
1:37
Pretty much any animal can eat a carrot, so I know that I can share that carrot
1:42
with a kangaroo,
1:44
a giraffe, pretty much anything.
1:47
A horse, a zebra, anything's gonna like a carrot.
1:50
Next, I'm gonna go with,
1:53
It's super simple, I love rice.
1:54
Number three, curry.
1:56
I just love a good curry.
1:58
My dad used to make it as a kid.
2:00
It's just like, brings back a lot of memories for me.
2:03
And then number 4, marshmallows.
2:06
To treat every living being the way you'd wish to be treated.
2:09
Any person, any animal, any plant, any living being, is absolutely crucial.
2:14
Number two, pressure is a privilege.
2:17
If you're in a place where you feel pressure, if it's good pressure, wow, you're lucky.
2:21
You've done something right.
2:22
Number three, don't procrastinate.
2:25
Seeing polar bears in the wild would be amazing.
2:28
You know, they're having a really, really tough time, and that would just be an absolute dream come true.
2:34
I also think seeing a wild tuatara would just make my life.
2:41
You know, I think for me, the person who's probably had the most impact
2:44
on my life would be, be my mom.
2:47
It was my mom and dad as a team that really created this amazing connection for people
2:51
and the natural world.
2:52
And you know, when my dad passed, my mom was really the person
2:55
to keep all of that going.
2:57
I look at her as really the example
2:59
to lead with kindness, to lead with determination and courage,
3:03
and I think we can all take a page out of that book.
3:06
We're all creating a legacy.
3:07
We all have a responsibility for the natural world in some way to care for it.
3:11
That's certainly my mom for me.
3:13
Okay, bonus question.
3:15
Ooh, I love a bonus question.
3:16
“Familiar,” all the people from Dancing With the Stars that we love.
3:21
I'd say “fresh,” because it's taking this in a whole new direction.
3:24
And I would say “family,”
3:27
because this is creating this amazing community through dance.
3:33
And that was three F's too, alliteration.
3:35
How good's that?
