Robert Irwin was only two years old when his dad, Steve Irwin, tragically died on the job from a stingray attack. Now grown, Robert is passionately continuing his father’s legacy as a wildlife conservationist, zookeeper, and TV personality.
The 20-year-old recently shared a clip on social media, celebrating Steve’s impact and how much he wished for his children to carry it on. “My life has been dedicated to continuing an important legacy and working to create my own,” Robert’s caption read.
The wholesome video featured Steve and his family, which includes Robert, his sister Bindi, and their mother, Terri. The late icon was clearly a hands-on father and loving husband whose kindness extended beyond his loved ones to animals, and fans could not hold back how touched they felt.
A follower assured Robert that Australia was proud of him and that his work was being recognized. Another recalled their reaction to Steve’s passing, noting that they “never cried harder over the loss of someone I never met.”
Terri was in the comments of the now-viral post, praising Robert for making her and his late father proud. “As you forge your path in this world, you continue to shine a light on your dad’s message and mission. The world is a better place because of you. I love you!” she gushed.
The Australia Zoo also acknowledged Robert’s contribution and thanked him for inspiring and sharing his commitment to protecting wildlife. The heartwarming clip ended with Robert showing off his pursuits as he lovingly held on to animals like a python and a koala. “I’m passionate about sharing a message through everything I do in front of and behind the camera, and I’m very honoured to be recognised for that,” the youngster noted.
