Why he tried it

Robert framed the action as part of research to better conserve wild crocodiles, using a technique his father, Steve Irwin, had developed. He noted he had named the croc years ago and that it has grown much larger since.

Aftermath and ties to DWTS

Despite the scare, Robert said he walked away unharmed. He also reflected on his recent win on Dancing with the Stars season 34 and a tribute performance to his mother, Terri Irwin, and is set to host the DWTS spinoff "Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro" in July.
