WHEN it comes to having a passion for wildlife, few personalities held a candle to the late Steve Irwin.

The Aussie larrikin, who garnered worldwide fame for being the ‘Crocodile Hunter’, would’ve turned 55 this week but tragically passed away in September, 2006 after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb.

Despite that, his two kids Bindi, aged 18, and Robert, aged 13, are fiercely continuing his legacy as wildlife warriors.

Here’s the times the Irwin kids were a chip off the old block and made everyone miss their charismatic dad.

ROBERT’S THE SPITTING IMAGE OF STEVE ON JIMMY FALLON

The youngest Irwin made his solo American TV debut when he headed to The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon this month to follow in his dad’s footsteps.

Everyone was in awe of how much 13-year old Irwin was the spitting image of his dad, especially when he mirrored his enthusiasm for wildlife conservation which he explained to Fallon was “just in my blood”.

BINDI WISHES HER DAD A HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Irwin posted a birthday tribute to her dad on Instagram on Wednesday captioning it with “Always in our hearts”.

The photo featured Steve at their now world-famous Australia Zoo smiling at a cockatoo.

The comment section was full of her followers reminiscing about the original wildlife warrior.

One user wrote “Grew up watching your dad with my grandma! Loved him. Miss seeing him all over TV!!!!” while another wrote “Always remember your dad he opened my eyes to conservation hugs to your family during this time of remembrance”.

ROBERT’S PASSION FOR WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY

He may only be 13 but the youngster is already an accomplished photographer especially when it comes to taking pictures of animals.

Photographing everything from green iguanas to native king parrots and carpet pythons, Irwin has since opened his own gallery at his home Australia Zoo and was recently the runner-up of an Australian Geographic competition.

BINDI NONCHALANTLY HAND FEEDING A CROCODILE

Few 18-year-olds girls can handfeed a gigantic crocodile as calmly as Bindi Irwin.

Performing for a show at Australia Zoo’s Crocoseum in January, the conservationist posted the video to her Instagram feed where she can be heard having a laugh after dropping the chow into the crocodile’s gaping mouth.

Considering Steve was best known for his relationship with crocodiles, it’s nice to see his daughter holds the same passion for the reptile.

While the video is impressive, Bindi is yet to feed crocodiles in the same ‘theatrical’ way her dad did.

ALL THE TIMES THEY REMEMBERED THEIR DAD

The two Irwin kids constantly honour their larger than life dad.

Whether it’s through celebrating his legacy with the annual Steve Irwin Day or simply by encouraging their social media followers to think about wildlife conservation, Robert and Bindi have become young adults valiantly continuing the Irwin legacy.
