Sharjah24 – Reuters: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge held some exotic animals during their trip to Northern Ireland on Wednesday (September 29).

"They're so cool," said Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, while handling a tarantula named 'Charlotte', at Ulster University Magee campus in Londonderry.

Prince William held a python and said his children "wouldn't believe" what he was holding.

The royal couple sampled guinness while visiting the student union lunch room.

The Duke and Duchess also visited a simulated ambulance built on campus being used to train student paramedics.
