Robert Irwin Has Close Call With a 12-Foot Crocodile on ‘Crikey! It’s the Irwins’

Robert Irwin had a close call with a 12-foot crocodile during the season finale of ‘Crikey! It’s the Irwins.’ In a recent chat with ET, the 18-year-old son of ‘Crocodile Hunter’ star Steve Irwin referred to the incident as an ‘almost died sort-of-thing’ moment. ‘Long story short, it was the first time I ever actually had to completely ditch the food run and jump over a fence while there was a croc right at my heels -- a massive, dominant male,’ Irwin explained.
