Fans turned nostalgic when Robert Irwin shared a heart-warming photo on Instagram, yesterday. Robert, son of Steve Irwin, recreated the scene of his father 15 years after the original photo was taken, with the same crocodile named Murray, considered to be the most dangerous crocodile in the Australia Zoo. He captioned it, ‘’Dad and me feeding Murray… same place, same croc – two photos 15 years apart’. Robert looked exact replica of his father in tin khaki shorts and shirt feeding the crocodile.
Terri Irwin praised her son for the tribute in a tweet, saying ‘Steve’s mission is in good hands.’

Famous Australian Conservationist, Steve Irwin, died in 2006 while shooting for an underwater nature documentary ‘Ocean’s Deadliest’, off the coast of Australia, when a stingray pierced his heart.
Robert, 15, is quite popular on social media for continuing the legacy along with his sister Bindi Irwin, and mother Terri Irwin. They operate the family-owned zoo in Buderim, Australia, and have appeared on various TV shows to educate the public about animals and biodiversity.
