Steve Irwin was arguably the most widely recognised wildlife enthusiast. His infectious enthusiasm for wildlife brought awareness of endangered species and animals in general, before his life was cut short when he was stung fatally in the heart by a stingray.
Now, his son, Robert Irwin can be seen walking in Steve’s footsteps. In the image of ‘The Crocodile Hunter’, he posted a photo on Instagram - a recreation of a 15-year-old photo in which Steve was feeding a crocodile. Robert fed the same crocodile, in the same place to get the perfect shot.
Here are some of the emotional reactions to Irwin’s post.
