She's done everything from boat racing to boxing. But tonight Jackie's going where the wild things are "Living It Up" is taking us behind the scenes at the Miami Metro Zoo.

(WSVN) -- We are Living It Up behind the scenes at the Miami Metro Zoo. Wait till we introduce you to all these stars that really steal the show.

Jackie: "What do we have here?"

Ron: "Well Jackie, this is a Kimodo Dragon, and he's not full grown yet, he's already over 6 feet long but he grows to be the largest, most powerful lizard on earth, over 10 feet and over 200 lbs."

Ron: "Look at the tongue he has...it's what he uses to examine his environment."

Ron: "He's going to find out who you are by giving you a little kimodo kiss."

Jackie: "Omigosh"

Ron: "This is George, he's a king cheetah, he is one of less than 40 in the entire world."

Jackie: "Omigosh, you're beautiful!"

Jackie: "Where are we going next?"

Ron: "We are going to feed the giraffes now"

Ron: "Now I got to deal with the ostrich, not the sharpest knife in the drawer... their eye is bigger than their brain, that's a physical fact"

Ron: "Come here girl"

Ron: "I'm giving her some cheflera. It's giraffe salad, you know a little parmesean, a little ceasar dressing."

Jackie: "It's name's J.J., so is mine."

Jackie: "That's got to be the weirdest thing I've ever done."

Jackie: "And that is what it's like Living It Up at the Miami Metro Zoo. I'm Jackie Johnson, 7 News."
