Robert Irwin looks exactly like Steve in this re-created photo

Wow, the resemblance!

The 15-year-old Robert Irwin, son of the late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, re-created a photo of his father from 15 years ago.

The image was taken in the famous Crocoseum of Australia Zoo in Queensland, with the exact same crocodile, Murray.

“Dad and me feeding Murray… same place, same croc – two photos 15 years apart ❤️” the caption reads.

Robert has continued to walk in his father footsteps, focusing his time on wildlife conservation and advocacy. He’s also proven himself a budding photographer.

In this year’s Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year competition, Robert’s image of a bearded dragon was shortlisted in the ‘Junior’ category.

Last year, Robert spoke candidly with Australian Geographic about his passion for photography and continuing his parent’s legacy.
