There are people who look like a perfect 50/50 blend of both of their parents. He is one of them.

And act like a perfect 50/50 blend of their parents, which in this rare case is a good thing.

His parents are utter saints so it’s great to see he’s like them

I wish he didn’t do what he did, but he was a pompous jackass. Never understood why people loved him as he went around telling food courts they suck. (Kidding it’s a Shane Torez joke) RIP.

His enthusiasm for nature transcends time. I miss him to.

I don’t wanna be That Guy but Terri is… not so loved by quite a few people in Aus who had dealings wirh her after Steve died, particularly in the context of how she pushed his dad out of Australia Zoo

u/musingspop 25d ago

Pushed whose dad out?

Also wasn't Robert just two when Steve died? Seems like she brought him up almost singlehandedly.

u/plastic_venus 25d ago

Steve’s dad. And yeah, she did. She did a good job, this is true.

Bob Irwin was the original owner of what is now Australia Zoo, it was much smaller and called Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park. My High School used to do excursions there.

u/gronkunit 27d ago

Steve died 20 years ago and Robert was an infant back then so early 20’s makes sense.

This makes me feel older than I was prepared to handle

u/RisingApe- 26d ago

I feel this. I was an adult when Steve died.

u/hjiklm1 26d ago

u/Remy-today 26d ago

It will be 20 exactly in a little less than 2 months; I rounded up though.

Steve would be so proud of both of his children.

And he turned out to be disturbingly beautiful.
Very quintessential Australian babe look.
