Bindi and Robert Irwin, the children of the late Steve Irwin, are actively continuing their father’s remarkable legacy. They share their father’s unwavering commitment to wildlife conservation and the preservation of diverse species in Australia. However, their connection extends beyond their shared passions. Robert Irwin, in particular, recently found himself in a situation reminiscent of his father’s experiences, captured on camera.
Aside from bearing a striking resemblance to his late father, Robert Irwin has also chosen a career path that closely aligns with Steve’s. The young wildlife enthusiast, who is following in his father’s footsteps, recently took to Instagram to reveal yet another remarkable parallel between himself and his beloved dad. Although it may not have been an experience he desired, the resemblance between the two is quite remarkable.
On Thursday, a remarkable occurrence unfolded as young Robert Irwin shared an archival video depicting his late father being bitten in the face by a python snake. In a peculiar twist of fate, Robert then proceeded to upload a video of himself encountering the same snake species and enduring multiple bites on his eyebrow and nose.
In the caption accompanying the video, Robert wrote, “Déjà vu. Dad and I getting bitten by the same species of snake (carpet python) decades apart. I stumbled upon this python while driving along a roadside, but as you can witness, snake rescues don’t always go as planned 😂.”
Both individuals, driven by their profound love for animals, fearlessly embraced the bites. Similar to his father Steve, Robert adeptly managed the rescue operation before tending to his own injuries. Explaining the incident in the video, he shared, “I got a little too close, and it resulted in a bite. These creatures possess extremely sharp teeth, akin to tiny needles.” you can find video here:
Terri Irwin, the wife of the late Steve Irwin, along with their two children, Robert and Bindi Irwin, continues to uphold Steve’s remarkable legacy in wildlife conservation through their efforts at the Australia Zoo.
Tragically, Steve Irwin passed away in 2006 at the tender age of 44. While filming at the Great Barrier Reef, he was fatally stung by a stingray. At the time of his father’s untimely demise, Robert Irwin was merely a 2-year-old toddler, barely beginning to explore the world around him.
Last September, on the anniversary of his father’s passing and Father’s Day in Australia, Robert took a moment to honor and remember his dad. He took to social media to share a heartfelt post, expressing his love and support for those who were missing their fathers on that day. In his message, he conveyed his deep appreciation for the cherished moments he shared with his dad and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to continue preserving his father’s memory and legacy ❤️.
