Today Is Steve Irwin’s Son’s 14th Birthday! He’s Already An Award Winning Photographer And His Photos Show Why
Australian zookeeper and conservationist Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray in 2006, but his wild soul lives on in his son Robert. Today, the boy is celebrating his 14th birthday, and it’s already clear that he’s following in his late father’s footsteps, helping the world to fall in love with nature.
“14 years ago we welcomed you into our lives,” his mom wrote on Twitter. “Your dad would be so proud of the brilliant young man you have become. I love you, Robert.” His big sister Bindi also had something to say: “You are the greatest brother and friend. I’m so lucky to be your sister. Thank you for always making me smile.”
Since a very young age, Robert has been fascinated with the natural world. Now, together with his family, he travels the planet and captures the beauty of the animal kingdom. The talented 14-year-old is sharing his wildlife photography on social media and people are loving his work just as much as his father’s. Robert is Steve’s only son but it’s clear that he’s a true chip off the old block and the perfect guy to continue what his dad has started.

I really still miss Steve a lot. What an incredible loss when he passed so early. Robert and his sister Bindi are such fine young people. I wish them all the best from the bottom of my heart. ♡

Ikr , sad when he passed. I used to watch his show with my mom when I was 10, it was one of my favorite evenings since I'd spend it with my mom. My mom would always say "look at the amazing animals the earth has" and " aww that man really loves animals "

So sad when Steve Irwin died he was a wonderful voice for nature and animal species. Lovely to see that his memory lives on in his son.

I adore this young man, AND love his photography! These kids are an example of just HOW powerful DNA is!! They both could have ended up, loving nature...sure! But to be AS PASSIONATE as their father was??? THAT IS DNA!!

Those photos show just how much he knows and loves animals. They tell amazing stories and you get a feeling for the spirits of these amazing creatures. True talent, indeed.

Also, when I see this story, I am struck by the LARGER picture! Steve Irwin was just a BIGGER than life personality!! And when I died, I thought, ALL of those animal lives he could have saved!! But...now that I see his son, I have to wonder...perhaps Steve Irwin was only here to father Robert and Bindi Irwin! What if THEY are the ones REALLY going to make MAJOR, BROAD, SWEEPING...GLOBAL changes in the realm of saving wildlife!! You never know!!! Right??

This kid resembles his dad so much! He's so energetic and cheerful, it's contagious. And anyone can see he is really passionate about animals.
