Robert Irwin had his fans in stitches after he shared a hilarious video on Wednesday which captured him avoiding the water after a freak crocodile accident.

The celebrity conservationist, 20, posted the footage to Instagram, which began with a close up of him standing on a small boat in an outdoor setting.

'Got to tell you, there's nothing better than being out here on the open water. Just gorgeous,' Robert told his fans.

The camera then panned out to reveal the boat was not actually in the water, but was sitting on the sandy shore in front of a lake.

Many of Robert's followers quickly took to the comment section to express their amusement over the clip. 

'Oh my goodness… that's too funny,' one person wrote while a second user added: 'You're such a goober and I love it.'

'The open water for sure,' a third fan chipped in.

It comes after Robert suffered a freak croc-related accident just hours before Sunday night's 2024 Logie Awards.

The wildlife warrior revealed details of his brush with death while chatting to Dr Chris Brown, 45, and Sonia Kruger, 58, on the red carpet on Sunday at The Star in Sydney. 

Sonia asked the young wildlife warrior if he was excited to be staying up so late before he revealed his pre-Logies brush with danger.  

'I just came straight in from catching crocodiles up north,' he began.

Robert then went on to detail the dangerous incident and the steps he took to remedy the result in time for his red carpet arrival. 

'I just got my head smashed into a tree,' he said nonchalantly.

'I was on a croc's head, it was a big makeup job but I'm here I'm excited and we are pumped and I get to do it with one of my best mates, which is awesome,' he added, as he stood beside his I'm A Celebrity co-host Julia Morris. 

The celebrity conservationist was rumoured to be bringing his mother Terri Irwin to the exclusive event, and stunned fans when he instead showed up with his IAC co-star Julia.
