\'Deadly 60\' host Steve Backshall has already introduced his baby son to a crocodile.
The 46-year-old daredevil animal expert - who is most famous for hosting the CBBC show in which he goes in search of the world\'s deadliest creatures - has 10-month-old son Logan with his wife, Olympic gold medal winning rower Helen Glover, and he has already let his child encounter a number of dangerous wild animals.
As well as a crocodile, Steve has also let Logan meet a snake, a sting ray and even a shark because he wants him to be comfortable around animals and develop a love for nature like his dad.
Speaking on the \'Pound For Pound\' podcast, he said: "Logan has already encountered his first snake and his first small crocodile and his first sting ray and he\'s been quite close to sharks as well which for a 10 month old is probably not quite right!"
Steve has missed out on some of the early months of Logan\'s life due to his busy filming schedule for various television shows.
The \'Springwatch\' star has been visited by Helen, 32, and his son in some of the most far flung corners of the globe whilst working but he admits the Himalayas and Australian Outback are not really the best places for a baby.
He said: "My baby boy Logan is the smiliest baby I\'ve ever seen in my entire life. He never stops smiling. I did a tour of Australia in January and they came out for that and they also came out for some shark filming about a month or so ago. But the expeditions wouldn\'t really work with a little baby; being in the Arctic or in the middle of the Himalayas, they aren\'t really the best places for a tiny baby."
