Multiple outlets report that “Dancing with the Stars” winner Robert Irwin described a close encounter with a 14-foot crocodile during wildlife research. Irwin says he had named the crocodile after Jimmy Fallon. According to his account, the crocodile attacks by pinning him with substantial weight—reported as about 700 pounds—placing him on the ground and trapping him as it kept him pinned. He further describes the moment as the crocodile “death rolled,” saying it rolled back and forth while he was underneath or restrained. Both sources emphasize that the encounter is serious and physical, but that Irwin survives and recounts the experience afterward. The accounts do not add further confirmed details about where the incident occurs, when it happened, or what safety measures were used beyond his description of the attack and his survival.
