John plaintively mimes a crocodile at Dara and Fern

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

Dara is selected from his team to write the list of animals, and chooses: cat, dog, giraffe, tortoise, kangaroo, chimpanzee, fish, rabbit, bear, and parrot. While he is writing, Fern suggests that they could watch how his arm moves, and determine what's on the list based on that. In reponse to this Greg says that, if she's able to do that, he will take her on tour and make money from her. Amazingly, she does correctly identify the first animal on the list, when prompted by Alex to take a guess. Fern then nominates John to perform the animal miming role for their team, which Dara does not seem sure about. His concern is seemingly backed up almost immediately, as John heads towards the wrong list of animals. Once redirected, he successfully conveys 'lion', 'monkey' (after initially saying 'N', rather than 'L'), and 'cat'. He passes on 'wolf', after what Greg describes as the "shittest impression of that animal" he's ever seen, in which he softly howls 'V' at the ceiling. He then successfully communicates 'shark', 'horse', 'crocodile' (after quite some time spent pleadingly repeating 'B' at his team, while snapping his arms together as its jaws), and with just five seconds left, 'koala' (clinging onto one of the on-stage columns). With a total of seven correct guesses, the team earns joint first place.
