Robert Irwin shares footage of himself feeding a crocodile

There’s no mistaking he’s the son of the late wildlife warrior Steve Irwin.

And on Wednesday, Robert Irwin had fans doing a double take after he shared a video of himself feeding a crocodile.

The 17-year-old was the spitting image of his father in the footage as he said it was a ‘privilege’ to get to experience the reptiles up close.

‘Bluey the croc putting on a big strike,’ he captioned the video. 

‘There’s nothing quite like getting to experience the power of these modern-day dinosaurs, it’s such a privilege.’ 

In the video Robert entices the crocodile with food before jumping back as it lunges towards him, narrowly missing his arm. 

The wildlife photographer was sporting his iconic Australia Zoo uniform and had a microphone on. 

Fans couldn’t believe how much the teenager looked like his late father Steve in the clip. 

‘You looks so much like your dad right there!!! Nice croc feeding,’ one fan commented on the video. 

Another wrote: ‘Man. I see your Dad all in this!’

Meanwhile, a third echoed: ‘So much like your Dad. I was a big fan of his and his passion for these beautiful creatures.’ 

Steve died in September 2006 at the age of 44, after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb while filming a wildlife documentary in Batt Reef, Queensland.
