Steve Irwin's kids wrestle with a crocodile, prove it's in the genes

When Steve Irwin passed away in 2006, we were nothing short of seriously straight out sad.

The much-loved crocodile hunter and general all-round TV presenting legend shuffled off this mortal coil in a way that only he could have – after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb while filming in Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

The man was, and always will be, an excellent human being. But what we didn't realize five years ago was that Steve had kids, and his kids, as you might have guessed, have grown up as time went by – grown up to wrestle crocodiles themselves, in fact.

For proof of this seemingly ridiculous statement, check out this video report below, which shows footage of 12-year-old Bindi and seven-year-old Robert making sure a 600kg croc called "Aggro" didn't cause any trouble.

The reason for all the wrestling was down to Steve's widow, Terri Irwin, agreeing to get the family round to help out a local Australian Zoo move some animals into their new, warmer winter enclosures.

And sure, the croc in question had a rope around its mouth while Bindi and Robert were grappling him, but let's be honest, you'd still have to be pretty brave to go around hugging a monster that big. Or maybe we're just cowards. Either/or really.
