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.
