Friday on "The View", the ladies were visited by a collection of adorable little critters, and Rosie Perez and Nicole Wallace weren't very good at making friends.

Nicole Wallace was not having it with the owl the handler brought out.

She flipped out when it started to move, and practically fell off the couch. Though guest host Kellie Pickler seemed to make friends quite easily with the array of animals brought out.

When the handler brought out a binturong, Perez jumped up and walked away.

She went to hide with the crowd, as far away from the little bear-like raccoon creature as possible.

On the contrary, Kellie Pickler was totally fine with the furry little critter, and even sidled up next to the adorable little buddy.

"Smell your fingers and tell me if you recognize the smell," the handler asked Kellie Pickler. While that was hysterically awkward, Kellie did what she was asked, and said it smelled like popcorn.

Both Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie O'Donnell were no where to be found during this segment, though we can imagine they would have had a smashing good time.

O'Donnell has been noticeably absent from the panel in the last week. Rumors have sparked that O'Donnell may be getting fired from the show as ratings have dropped tremendously.

The Inquisitor reported: "Since O'Donnell has had a major hand in The View's reboot the ratings have dipped, and if producers really wanted someone to blame, O'Donnell could be an easy target.

As it is she's been relatively tame with her opinions during hot topic conversations, which might add to the decline in ratings for the veteran show."

Perhaps ratings would increase if O'Donnell was around to make friends with baby alligators.
