Terrifying footage emerged this month of Robert Irwin, 18, very nearly devoured by a saltwater crocodile named Casper.
The teenager was forced to flee for his life when the huge beast lunged at him at Australia Zoo during feeding time.
And his mother Terri Irwin reportedly reacted with horror after her husband Steve died in 2006 at the age of 44 when he was pierced in the chest by a short-tail stingray.
The wife of the late ‘Crocodile Hunter ‘almost had a heart attack when she saw just how close Robert came to a tragic end,’ a source said.
