User:Stryzzar/Animals and DJ

This article focuses on the interactions between Animals and DJ.

Overview
DJ has shown to have a huge fondness for animals, and is very close to them. He can often be seen caring for various animals he encounters, and has adopted many pets throughout the series, most notably two bunnies.

However in Total Drama World Tour, while visiting Egypt in Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1, DJ accidentally breaks a mummified dog. His actions cause a curse to befall upon him, resulting in him injuring any animal he comes across. This greatly grieves DJ and he attempts to quit the competition several times, but has little success. He finally gets eliminated in Jamaica Me Sweat, but not before he earns the hatred of many animals that he unintentionally hurt.

Alligator
In Broadway, Baby!, all the teams are chased by a gigantic alligator while driving boats through the sewers. However the alligator is revealed to be DJ's pet alligator Vince

Monkey
In The Am-AH-Zon Race, after DJ and Lindsay finish their feast of bananas, Lindsay awakens to hear DJ slapping himself. When Lindsay queries what he was doing, DJ answers that he was covered in bugs. However when Lindsay shines the light on him she notices the bugs are actually monkeys, and DJ had unintentionally beaten them unconscious. DJ realizes the monkeys must've been attracted to the bananas they had left. He carefully bandages up all the injured monkeys and quietly leaves, but he steps on twig which awakens all of them. The monkeys all jump onto DJ and attack, causing him to run away.
