0:01Oh, wait, it's coming back.

0:03Oh, wait, it's going to you.

0:05I hope you took it.

0:05I'm Robert Irwin, and today I'm here to answer the Nat Geo 9.

0:13I'd say hang in there.

0:14You got one year until you're allowed to feed your first crocodile.

0:17I would watch my dad feeding crocs and think, "Oh, it's gonna be me one day."

0:21So I asked every day.

0:23My mom said, "Listen, you gotta be double digits."

0:27Malala Yousafzai, of course.

0:30Let's go RBG, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

0:33Johnny Cash.

0:34Ooh, Ewan McGregor.

0:36Frans Lanting, one of my favorite wildlife photographers.

0:39Robert Downey Jr.

0:40Definitely an environmentalist.

0:42It's gotta be Attenborough.

0:44I mean, if we're talking about anyone, it'd be cool to have my dad there.

0:47I think that'd spice things up a little bit.

0:48That's gonna be some very interesting conversation.

0:52South America is just always a place that has been top of my list.

0:57I cannot believe I haven't been there, I just love it.

1:01A little campfire,

1:02a guitar,

1:03some family and friends around,

1:05and some good discussion.

1:07100%.

1:08That is 6:00 p.m. sorted, and knowing that I'll be in bed

1:11in about two and a half hours.

1:12Party animal over here.

1:16Do it now. Have fun.

1:18Don't wait, seize every opportunity and go for it.

1:21I think about that particularly as a conservationist,

1:23as someone who is passionate in advocating for the environment.

1:27We need action very, very quickly.

1:30Ah, carrots.

1:31I love carrots.

1:34I'll pack a carrot with me as a snack.

1:37Pretty much any animal can eat a carrot, so I know that I can share that carrot

1:42with a kangaroo,

1:44a giraffe, pretty much anything.

1:47A horse, a zebra, anything's gonna like a carrot.

1:50Next, I'm gonna go with,

1:53It's super simple, I love rice.

1:54Number three, curry.

1:56I just love a good curry.

1:58My dad used to make it as a kid.

2:00It's just like, brings back a lot of memories for me.

2:03And then number 4, marshmallows.

2:06To treat every living being the way you'd wish to be treated.

2:09Any person, any animal, any plant, any living being, is absolutely crucial.

2:14Number two, pressure is a privilege.

2:17If you're in a place where you feel pressure, if it's good pressure, wow, you're lucky.

2:21You've done something right.

2:22Number three, don't procrastinate.

2:25Seeing polar bears in the wild would be amazing.

2:28You know, they're having a really, really tough time, and that would just be an absolute dream come true.

2:34I also think seeing a wild tuatara would just make my life.

2:41You know, I think for me, the person who's probably had the most impact

2:44on my life would be, be my mom.

2:47It was my mom and dad as a team that really created this amazing connection for people

2:51and the natural world.

2:52And you know, when my dad passed, my mom was really the person

2:55to keep all of that going.

2:57I look at her as really the example

2:59to lead with kindness, to lead with determination and courage,

3:03and I think we can all take a page out of that book.

3:06We're all creating a legacy.

3:07We all have a responsibility for the natural world in some way to care for it.

3:11That's certainly my mom for me.

3:13Okay, bonus question.

3:15Ooh, I love a bonus question.

3:16“Familiar,” all the people from Dancing With the Stars that we love.

3:21I'd say “fresh,” because it's taking this in a whole new direction.

3:24And I would say “family,”

3:27because this is creating this amazing community through dance.

3:33And that was three F's too, alliteration.

3:35How good's that?
