Robert Irwin

A source said: 'Robert has worked in croc conservation, just like his dad, ever since he could walk. 'He loves Australia Zoo and everything his parents built ...

He wants to be a mix of his dad and David Attenborough.’ ‘My earliest memories are my fondest, thanks to you. Hanging on to the handlebars of the motorbike, when you’d take Bindi and I on your morning lap of the zoo – before going to get ice cream for breakfast. The source went on to say that Bindi is ‘heartbroken’ at the thought of saying goodbye to her brother but understands that he deserves to live out his dreams. ‘He loves Australia Zoo and everything his parents built together, but he’s ambitious and wants to get out and see the world – hopefully with a camera crew right behind him, just like Steve did.’ Robert Irwin is reportedly preparing to follow in his dad Steve’s footsteps and travel the world, which will mean him flying the nest of his family home at Australia Zoo.
