Robert Irwin terrifies Jimmy Fallon with a boa constrictor

His late father was known the world over as The Crocodile Hunter.

And 13-year-old Robert Irwin seems to be following in his dad Steve's footsteps, getting up close and personal with all kinds of exotic animals.

The Australian teen looked strikingly similar to his father, as he appeared in his late-night debut on Thursday's episode of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

The Queensland-based brother of Bindi Irwin also shared his famous father's enthusiasm, telling the American comedian about his love for creatures great and small.

Dressed in a khaki uniform, Robert then introduced a terrified Jimmy to a number of animals.

First up, was a baby African Dwarf crocodile named Beetlejuice.

'Would you like to give him a pat?' Robert asked a reluctant Jimmy, who only gave the reptile a tepid touch.

Jimmy seemed slightly less panicked by the next animal, a screaming armadillo by the name of Mickey.

But then came a giant boa constrictor, who Robert revealed went by the name of Lady.

'She's so cute,' assured the young animal enthusiast, to which Jimmy replied, 'No, they trick you with the names and it's like an evil thing.'

When the massive snake was brought out on stage Robert asked the comedian if he would like to have a hold.

'No!' Jimmy replied, before the reptile was thrust across his arms anyway.

The giant snake then began to constrict around the comedian's arm as he yelped, 'She's trying to kill me!'

Lady then began to wrap around Robert's waist before two assistants had to come and remove the animal.

The funnyman was much more of a fan of the final animal- a sloth named Valentino.

And despite the terror, it appeared Jimmy enjoyed Robert's first visit to the studio.

'I love this, I love you. Thank you for bring all these fun animals and, gosh, what a treat, man!' Jimmy said as he wrapped the segment.
