Fans fear for Robert Irwin’s life as son of late Crocodile Hunter Steve catches a ‘poisonous’ animal while wearing a pair of THONGS

Robert Irwin scared his fans this week when he shared a wild video of him catching a snake and a cane toad in some strings during a camping trip.

The 19-year-old Wildlife Warrior shared an Instagram clip of himself fishing for a keelback snake under wooden stairs near his campsite.

Steve Irwin’s son showed off the little black snake as it wrapped around his hand.

“That’s so cool. Look at him,’ said Robert, bringing the animal closer to the camera.

The snake suddenly darted forward and Robert flinched before he could get a better grip on the reptile.

The young conservationist then showed that there were also cane toads under the planks.

“They’re actually extremely poisonous,” Robert said, picking up one of the toads.

He explained that most animals that try to eat the introduced toad species would die, but the keelback is one of the few native animals that can resist the poison.

Robert then took the snake to the bush and, still in its thongs, released it into the wild.

‘What a beautiful snake. So, so cool. Goodbye, mate,” he remarked as the snake slipped away.

Many fans were shocked by Robert’s choice of shoes and his handling of the animals.

One commenter wrote, “Glad you’re wearing your safety briefs, Rob.”

Another shared what Australian Robert looked like: “Tell me you’re an Aussie without telling me you’re an Aussie,” they wrote, followed by a thong and snake emoji.

Many others, especially non-Australians, were shocked that Robert handled the ‘poisonous’ cane toad.

“Robert: *mentions the frog is poisonous* Also Robert: going to pick it up,” one comment wrote.

Another fan echoed this sentiment, paying tribute to his father Steven Irwin: “”This frog is extremely poisonous” *let me get him for you* This guy is definitely Steve’s kid!”

Although cane toads are extremely poisonous to swallow, they generally cannot poison someone if, like Robert, they do not touch the glands on their backs that secrete the urine. buphotoxin.

Robert shared another wildlife encounter during his camping trip earlier last week.

He and his girlfriend Rorie Buckey recently had a run-in with a huge Huntsman spider.

The conservationist posted a video to Instagram of the arachnid walking across the roof of their tent, getting ready to jump on.

‘He’s about to molt. Can he molt elsewhere?’ says Robert in the images.

Suddenly, the spider makes a giant leap out of the tent and lands on the ground, giving the lovebirds and friends the fright of their lives.

“Oh my God,” they both shout in unison.

Fortunately, the couple was in no real danger, because despite its terrifying appearance, the huntsman spider is harmless to humans.

“Just an average night at an Australian campsite,” Robert captioned the video.
