Robert Irwin recently shared a harrowing tale of survival on The Tonight Show, detailing an incident where he was "death-rolled" by his pet crocodile, Jimmy Fallon. The encounter took place in his native Australia as Irwin was researching conservation methods. He explained that he followed a technique pioneered by his late father, Steve Irwin, which involved jumping onto the crocodile. However, the 14-foot reptile, now a "Boss croc," initiated a death roll, leaving Irwin pinned with about 700 pounds of weight on him. He managed to survive the ordeal when the crocodile rolled back.
