Robert Irwin has had a frightening encounter with a fierce crocodile who tried to take a bite out of him instead of the tasty chunk of meat being offered.
Robert describes the encounter as "one of the most intense croc feeds I’ve done!"
The close call happened during the final episode of Crikey It's The Irwins filmed at Australia Zoo when Robert entered the enclosure of Casper, “their wildest crocodile”.
It was Robert’s first time feeding Capser in his new enclosure and he didn’t know how he creature would react. “And honestly that’s quite terrifying,” Robert admits in the footage shared to his socials, which has had more than a million views on Instagram and the same on TikTok.
Robert was visiting Casper to see if he was setting into his surroundings and was happy enough to be the star of their midday croc show.
“We want to see a nice, big reaction out of him,” Robert explains as he stands near the crocodile holding a huge chunk of meat in his hand. “That’s how we know he’s happy.”
And boy did he get a big reaction!
In the tense footage, the nearly 4 metre 350kg crocodile emerges from the water and quickly moves towards Robert while snapping his huge jaws.
“Yeah he’s keen,” Robert says. But then Casper continues moving towards Robert and gets perilously close as he continues lunging and snapping his jaws.
“Bail, bail, bail,” Robert says as he throws the meat at the croc and runs for safety.
Despite the scary situation, Robert handled it well and commented in his post caption that "safety for us is also crucial and you definitely have to know when to call it. And with such a powerful and quick croc like Casper we had no choice but to bail!"
He also earned much praise on social, with the footage bringing back memories of his dad.
"It’s like déjà vu watching and listening to him. He’s so much like his dad it’s crazy, I just know he’s so proud of everything you’re doing. ❤️" one commenter wrote, while another predicted that "Casper is a gorgeous fella 🤩 I think you’ll be mates before you know it!"

Neighbours will halt production amid questions about its future after British television Channel 5 confirmed it would stop airing the Australian soap later this year.
The daytime drama about the residents of Ramsay Street has been shown on UK television for more than 30 years and has launched the careers of stars including Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Margot Robbie.
Channel 5 said dropping the soap would allow funding to be diverted to original UK dramas.
"Neighbours will no longer air on Channel 5 beyond this summer," a spokesperson said on Sunday.
"We recognise that there will be disappointment about this decision. However, our current focus is on increasing our investment in original UK drama, which has strong appeal for our viewers."
The soap, which launched in 1985, has long been more popular in the UK than in Australia, so the news has thrown the future of the show into doubt.
The longest-running drama series on Australian television, Neighbours initially launched on Australia's Channel Seven in 1985, but the channel axed it before Network Ten picked it up the following year and it became an international hit.
In Australia it has been shown on digital channel 10 Peach since 2011 after losing its place following the nightly news on the main channel, and has been reliant on the UK broadcaster for funding.
An email to staff from Fremantle Media executive producer Jason Herbison, seen by the Sydney Morning Herald, said production would stop for an indefinite period because of the lack of a broadcast partner to back it financially.
Staff have been asked to attend a meeting on Monday and filming will continue until June 10.
The email said: "Our audience remains steady and Channel Ten would love the show to continue if we could find another broadcast partner to replace (Channel 5).
"We are so proud of the show, you all and everything that you've achieved. But for now, this chapter is closing and we want to work together to give Neighbours the amazing send-off it deserves."
Neighbours was shown on BBC One until 2008, when it moved to Channel 5.
