Robert Irwin was almost eaten by a crocodile as it lunged at him in heart-stopping footage captured for the famous family’s TV show.
The 18-year-old, who is the son of Steve 'The Crocodile Hunter' Irwin, was forced to flee for his life when the leucistic saltwater crocodile made a beeline for him in an enclosure at the Irwin’s Australia Zoo in Queensland.
Robert was trying to discover if the reptile, named Casper, was comfortable in his new surroundings after being moved at the zoo, and he managed to escape by the skin of his teeth when he almost ended up on the menu.
