Filho do "caçador de crocodilos" já é estrela em Hollywood

Robert Irwin, de apenas 13 anos, é uma fotocópia do pai, o australiano especialista em animais selvagens, famoso por levar animais selvagens a programas de televisão e que faleceu em 2006 atingido no peito pelo espigão de uma raia.

Pois o filho do Irwin, Robert, de apenas 13 anos, parece seguir as pisadas do pai e estreou-se esta semana no 'The Tonight Show' com Jimmy Fallon, levando para um palco um crocodilo anão e uma enorme gibóia, entre outros animais selvagens.

CRIKEY! Check out Big Dunc on the #CrocTrip2016 Our highly experienced @AustraliaZoo Croc Team uses the very same capture techniques that Dad developed so many years ago. Our team leader, Toby Millyard was trained by Dad himself and continues to help us carry on in his footsteps. We truly have the most elite team when it comes to catching crocs and we all share the passion of protecting crocodiles as well as educating others. These techniques have allowed us to safely capture crocs such as Big Dunc. Big Dunc is a whopping 15 feet 1.5 inches of sheer power. He is currently the largest crocodile we are tracking in the Wenlock River. This is the third time Big Dunc has decided to stop by for a free meal and to say g'day to our team. Somehow he manages to seem bigger and bigger with each visit. Big Dunc is just one of the 146 (and counting) crocodiles we are currently tracking throughout the Wenlock River.
