Ireland's most extraordinary pets will be showcased in The Big Pet Project, coming to RTÉ One and RTÉ Player on Saturday, 15 November.
Presenters Demi Isaac Oviawe and Adam Beales will be hopping into their 'Pet Mobile' to travel across the country to meet Ireland's most unusual and talented animals, from surfing dogs to goal-scoring turtles and painting ponies.
The Young Offenders star Oviawe said of the show: "I had so much fun on The Big Pet Project. I was completely shocked by some of the unusual pets that people keep!
"We even met a teenager who's caring for three generations of garden snails!"
Content creator Beales commented: "I thought I was prepared for anything, but nothing could have prepared me for a goal-scoring turtle or a giant millipede!
"Travelling around Ireland and meeting these incredible pets and their owners has been hilarious, heartwarming and totally unpredictable."

Niamh Farren, Executive Producer, Young People's Content, RTÉ added: "At RTÉ Kids, we’ve seen a lot of wonderful things, but a surfing dog and a turtle that can score goals might just take the biscuit!
"The Big Pet Project is pure family joy, packed with heart, humour and a big dose of the unexpected. It’s a celebration of Ireland’s animal lovers and their pets and a reminder that great public service TV can be as fun and unpredictable as Ireland's furriest and feathered pets."
The Big Pet Project airs on Saturday, 15 November at 5.15pm on RTÉ One, with all six episodes available to stream on the same day on RTÉ Player.
