2. Jalen was in his zoology class when his classmate Jill Lojas started filming his facial reactions to the animals on show.
He told BuzzFeed News he knew in advance a herpetologist was coming in to show rare animals that had been confiscated from the illegal pet trade.
“I already knew it was going to be nuts,” he said.

“He [started] out with a small rooster that [was] used in cockfights, so I didn’t think much of it,” Jalen told BuzzFeed News.
“It began when he pulled out the biggest duck species there is! I was super intrigued.
“After that he pulled out a series of crazy reptiles that were honestly dinosaurs in my opinion. Then he pulled out the largest python I’ve ever seen and I lost it.”
He said since the video went viral with over 130,000 retweets, people have assumed he’s never been to a zoo. However, Jalen said his school is right next to a zoo, and he’s been around animals his whole life.
