The children of the late Steve Irwin, Robert and Bindi, carry on his unwavering passion for protecting Australia’s diverse animal population and biodiversity.
However, the father and son’s shared interests are only one aspect of their many similarities. In addition to carrying on his father’s commitment, Robert Irwin looks and acts like him in both appearance and profession.
A young Robert Irwin recently captured an illogical connection between the two on camera, evoking nostalgia and amazement.
In a touching prelude, Robert Irwin posted an old Instagram video of his father being bitten by a snake in the past.
He was brought back to the perils his brave father had bravely faced by the video. Surprisingly, fate seemed to have something to do with it because a later video showed Robert handling the same snake and getting multiple bites on his nose and brow.
Robert gave the video the apt title “Déjà vu.”. The same carpet python bit both my father and me. He said, reflecting on the bittersweet bond they had, and revealed that he had seen this particular snake along the roadside and, despite his best efforts, had been unable to save it.
Like his father, Robert handled the situation calmly before attending to his own wounds.
Robert described how he had gotten too close to the snake and had received severe bites as a result. He stressed the inherent danger of the snake’s teeth by comparing them to tiny needles.

In a heartfelt message to all those who are missing their fathers on this special day, he expressed his most sincere gratitude for the chance to continue his father’s outstanding legacy. He treasured the special times they had together because they were immortalized in his heart.
Robert Irwin has developed into a remarkable young man who, both physically and psychologically, resembles his late father. The ongoing efforts Steve Irwin’s son makes to honor his father’s memory make him proud.
