Steve Irwin's Son Feeds His First Croc

Posted on October 3, 2012

Robert Irwin, the 8-year-old of the late Steve Irwin, is now feeding his first crocodile. Steve Irwin, known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was famous for his lack-of-fear around crocodiles, snakes and other non-furry creatures as well as his love for all animals, particularly reptiles. He was killed by a stingray's barb in 2006 during the filming of a television special.

Robert, his mother Terri and his sister Bendi Sue, live at the Australia Zoo, which Steve Irwin's parents founded. Robert loves living at the zoo. He says, "It's fun. Everyday I get to wake up to tigers, elephants, crocs and everything." Take a look:
