Steve Irwin’s son Robert, 12, steals the show as he feeds his late-father’s favourite crocodile
The brave lad was celebrating Steve Irwin Day with his mother and sister at the family's zoo
STEVE Irwin’s son follows in his late-father’s footsteps by feeding a giant crocodile in front of a cheering crowd.
Robert, 12, fed raw meat to the hulking reptile named Monty – who was one of his dad’s favourite crocs.
The event at the family’s Australia zoo in Queensland celebrated Steve Irwin Day and featured the legendary conservationist’s daughter Bindi, 18, and his widow Terri.
Known as the ‘The Crocodile Hunter’, Irwin tragically died after a stingray barb pierced his heart while he filmed a documentary in 2006.
On November 15 every year, Australians celebrate the beloved entertainer by donning his signature khaki outfit.
The event at Australia Zoo – which was established in 1970 by Irwin’s parents – raises money for wildlife conservation work.
He said: “'I'm keen to do everything he did.
“My dad was the original Wildlife Warrior.
"He was the most incredible wildlife conservationist and every single day we [his family] strive to continue his legacy.
“We get to carry on where he left off,' adding that he's 'keen to do everything he did.”
