Steve Irwin's son, Robert Irwin is seen following his father's footsteps. The way Steve Irwin used to showcase animals to the world, his son is seen doing exactly the same. Robert shared his side-by-side photo of himself and his father feeding the same crocodile at the Australian Zoo. Steve Irwin was a hero for most of the 90's kids, as they have grown up watching his videos of crocodile hunting and animal taming.

Robert Clarence Irwin is just 15 years old and is already seen living up to his father's legacy, and has the same connection with the animals. Striking the same pose, wearing the same khaki shorts and a button-up shirt and feeding the same crocodile, Robert's resemblance to his father is uncanny. Robert took to his Twitter account to share an image with a stunning caption showing his love for crocodiles.
