Katy Perry made fast friends with Robert Irwin.
The son of late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin took the American pop star on a tour around his Australia Zoo.
During the outing, Katy got up close and personal with a variety of Aussie wildlife including a kangaroo, koala and wombat.
The 40-year-old then charmed Robert, 21, by engaging him in a little dance, with the two sharing a waltz in videos shared to social media.
'I heard Robert Irwin was going to be on Dancing With The Stars so I thought maybe we should do a practise run here at the Australia Zoo' Katy said.

'I love it! I'm ready!' Robert said, before taking Katy's hands so they could do a turn around the room.
Katy then suggested a dip, but Robert dropped her, with Katy sprawled on the floor as she joked, 'Maybe stick to the animals'.
It comes after news that Orlando Bloom has joined Katy and their daughter Daisy Dove, five, in Australia amid rumours of trouble in their relationship.
The actor, 48, was spotted spending time with his little girl Daisy in Perth on Sunday.
Father and daughter were joined by members of his entourage, including a man who appeared to be a security guard.
Katy, who performed at the Perth RAC Arena that night, did not join the group.
Ever the doting dad, Orlando carried Daisy on his shoulders as they took at a stroll around the city's CBD.
Orlando's trip Down Under comes after reports that Katy and Orlando are set to have serious conversations about the state of their relationship.
From her controversial Blue Origin space flight to her absence from their Montecito, California, home due to her world tour – things have been a bit rough for the longtime couple lately.
And while rumours may be circulating about the demise of their nearly decade-long relationship, an insider told The Sun 'no one has decided it's definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando.'
'They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets,' a source told the publication.
'But Katy especially doesn't want to just give up,' the source continued.
Katy has been in Australia for the entire month of June, with the last performance of her Lifetimes Tour Down Under on June 30 in Adelaide.
Her tour has caused the 'biggest disruption' in her home life with the Lord of the Rings star.
The source said: 'Katy and Orlando have been disconnected for a while now, and with their work commitments have been living separate lives.
'She has mentioned jetting back from Australia to spend time with Orlando, Daisy, her sister Angela and her kids.
'I heard Robert Irwin was going to be on Dancing With The Stars so I thought maybe we should do a practise run here at the Australia Zoo' Katy said
'They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months.
'It has been "go, go, go" and they thrived when they enjoyed a more settled life, being together in the same place for a length of time. But that has just not happened.'
Additionally, Orlando wasn't in favour of Katy's Blue Origin space flight.
However, in spite of their disagreements and obstacles, the source insisted it isn't all over for the couple.
'It is quite a lot more complicated than that. They have been apart for their longest amount of time since they have been together.
'But there is still a huge amount of love between them, and there is still hope that they can ride out this rough patch.
'Anyone in long-term relationships goes through challenges, and many times when things appear to be done, couples reconnect and make things work.'
Despite recent tensions, the source remains optimistic: 'The type of people they are, there still remains a lot of hope. Katy has never been happier in her life than with Orlando.'
'If this reunion can revive those times, then they could come through this.'
It is unknown if Katy is also set to fly to Venice, Italy for the wedding of Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos.
The guest list is thought to have fewer than 200 people, with suspected guests including A-listers like Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy and Orlando and members of the Trump family.
The Amazon boss has booked the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, one of the largest and grandest buildings in the historical center of Venice, as part of the multi-day-long extravaganza of celebrations.
