This is the terrifying moment the 10-year-old son of Steve Irwin bravely faced off against a giant crocodile.Robert Irwin stepped into the crocodile enclosure at his late father's Australia Zoo near Beerwah on Queensland's Sunshine Coast on Thursday and got a little bit too close for comfort as he went face to face with the reptile.
Robert was feeding the crocodile in front a packed crowd for the zoo's daily feeding show at the Crocoseum when the animal's patience seemed to run out.
'I've seen him feed the crocs a few times, but I've never seen him get that close before,' an onlooker told Daily Mail Australia.
'I think Bob was holding the meat where the crocodile couldn't actually see it, so I think its patience was running out. I guess he'll know to throw the meat where it can be seen next time.'
Photos of the moment show handler and Steve's best friend, Wes Mannion, grabbing hold of Robert's shirt as they inched closer to the crocodile.
'They're dangerous creatures (and) are unpredictable. I'm guessing that's why Wes was holding him tight,' the onlooker said.
