thank you for bringing that, melanie. >> larry: and now we have a red-crested turacao. >> look at the colors on the screen. golly. look at this head. i think it dates back to what's that bird from australia? that pre-historic bird. >> larry: the next guest can outjump kobe bryant, now if only he can shoot a basketball, who knows? maybe he can. that's in 60 seconds. stay with us. >> larry: we're trying to do that, we got one on the set with jack hanna. >> have you ever had a kangaroo on your set? >> larry: i don't think so. this is a gray one. >> it's a marsupial, like a baby is born like a worm, as big as your fingernail. comes out of the birth canal. outside of the fur. it lives six months in the pouch for six months and attaches to the breast there. it's a marsupial like the koala and mammals like that. they have speeds up to 40 miles an hour. they live in groups called a mob. see how he stands up? when they're full-grown, larry, it can stand higher than you can. one guy, two years ago was killed in australia. how was that? kangaroos are afraid of people basically. you see the claw,

now back to larry king. >> larry: a different kind of porcupine here, who also attacked melanie.pears in her. >> see what i'm talking about. look at the shirt first. you'll see what i'm talking about. the african porcupine that you saw earlier does not have a barb on the end of the quill. i'm pulling this very hard. i'm pulling harder. that was in her skin there. there. and this here. these are quills. take them home to your sons and let them fight each other. just kidding, larry. don't do that. >> larry: they will. how is this porcupine different from the other, which was bigger? >> the african porcupine's much, much bigger. this is a north american porcupine here. that looks like soft fur, doesn't it? don't let that fake you -- i don't want you to get hurt again, but look here. she's not hurt. there's the quills under there. you follow me? >> larry: hidden quills. >> you cannot see that with the naked eye. there's a barb there. the minute you touch this animal, whether it be a cougar or bobcat, it comes off. they can die from infection. >> larry: its also has a funny smell. >>

ask workers like accountant melanie einbund, looking since january. >> looking for a job is a job thatt necessarily you want to have. i want to be doing my numbers. i want to be working with my team. i want to be adding value to my company. >> reporter: but you don't want the job of looking for a job? >> you've got it! i don't want the job of looking for a job. i want my job. >> it's very frustrating. it's also very demeaning for older people to be in a supplicant position with people who could be half their age. >> reporter: so maybe older workers should just give up and retire. no, just the opposite, argues stanford economist john shoven considering older people are actually much younger than they've ever been. >> today's 65 year olds have less than half the chance of dying within a year as 65 year olds did in 1950. they are not the same age; they are healthier; they are much further from death; they're younger. a year of life today is not the same unit as it was in 1950, just like a dollar today is not the same unit as a dollar was in 1950. so, i'm "65" now. how old am i? >> so you

miss melanie howard of pellham, alabama, raised this point when discussing the idea of -- when askedof receiving cadillac health care. she spoke to me of the small nonprofit which had to raise premium prices, mr. president, to offset a few workers who were battling cancer. in effect, she was paying for a cadillac, but still just getting a basic car. because of the taxes based on cost of coverage and not quality and breadth of coverage, many americans could fall into this category. i believe it's simple -- it's a simple actuarial fact, mr. president, that smaller risk pools result in higher premiums. thus small businesses, such as mr. howard's employer, are, naturally, going to bear the brunt of this new conceived cadillac health insurance tax. mr. president, as taxes increase to pay for the public option, so does the cost of premiums on health care plans. the congressional budget office analysis on premium impacts estimates that family premiums, mr. president, would increase 28% from $11,000 per family to over $14,000 per family by 2019. this is more than a $3,000 increase per family

. >> i am melanie campbell. i and the convening of the kennedy coalition. thank you for the leadership. what we also gained from concern is that the pop -- black population is made up of a melting pot of african americans, of african immigrants, have afro-latino immigrants. part of our concern is that the process -- [inaudible] but this gives us an additional challenge as a group. " we are doing is building the coalition. some of those that are part of the coalition are those that help include -icf. that is our concern. we are going to partner, most of us are already nationally partner. most of the networks are already part of the process. we also know that the count, when we talk about the 3% -- what does that mean? wheel will do all that we can -- we will do all that we can to try to help close that 3 down to zero. thank you. >> i am al sharpton. let me begin by commending him market for convening all of us for what is a very critical issue. as we continue to fight for equality and fairness for african americans and people of african descent, we cannot do
