I see what you mean but what Steve taught him is to never remain irrational with animals, especially predators, they are what they are in relation to nature and when accidents happen they are usually always fortuitous. Meaning he wouldn’t want him to let fears based in emotions prevent him from enjoying the true beauty of our planet’s ocean’s. Australia’s especially :)

Exactly. He has inherited a little more of his mothers common sense. And I don't mean that as an insult to Steve. Just that I think Robert thinks things through in beforehand, a bit more. But not always. Sometimes he is just as impulsive as his dad.

When I first heard Roberts voice in this, I got chills. It's like hearing Steve. So much respect to this family, they have taught the world so much.
He speaks in the same mannerisms as Steve. Really cool how we live still, through our children. RIP Steve.
I love how he is genuinely surprised by how strong the shark was. "That was nuts." Like yes its a SHARK. But I also love how excited he is to be in the water and see his first shark. I would have been out of there so quickly.

I bet it's hauntingly wonderful for ur mom to watch you.. we all still miss and love ur crazy dad. Please don't take as many risks but have fun. Thanks for continuing to show us all the animals that ur dad loved so much!
Crikey, jus like his dad, well done young man, your father would be proud of you.
Wow Terri has so much inner strength. It would have been really hard for her to see her son go in the ocean and doing something like this. She would have been praying hard that everything went well and didn’t have to face another loss.

He has a show. It’s called Crikey it’s the Irwins. It’s on Animal Planet. They have just streamed their 4th season. It’s amazing to see him grow so much during the last 4 years as he’s taken on more roles in the zoo and with the conservation
I love their family. They always have such joy and smiles on their face it radiates through you. Such a special bunch, Love robert ❤❤❤❤❤
I can’t believe how quickly time passes. He looks like quite a fine young man now.
Always love to see bob following in his fathers footsteps, Steve would be so proud
Absolutely understandable for Terri to be accompanying Robert on this ocean-based outing.
I can see his father in him 😭what a beautiful precious family. ❤️
Steve’s spirit lives on through his son and I think that is the most incredible thing to witness. 🥹 his father would be immensely proud.
I pray that Robert can be the inspiration for my children that his father was for me all my life.
he is the absolute image of his dad. full of love for all kinds of animals. such a catching charisma. you wana listen to him all day. stay safe and keep on doing what you love. dad will always look over your shoulder mate.
Robert sounds just like his dad! I didn't expect to shed some tears during this video.
Robert reminds me of Steve and I just love his energy and charisma
So cool to see the Irwin family continuing the family legacy. Robert really is a natural. Just like his dad!

What a great fellow, Robert. I was born in 2006, so I was never old enough to get to know his Father, Steve, but from everything i've heard and seen he was just wonderful. Robert is so in love with animals and protecting them and teaching others, its so beautiful to see honestly. I hope I can have the honor of meeting him someday, he's a great inspiration!
I hope there will be future shows like this. So cool it was!
I love Robert he's so cool. Turning out just like his dad.

Man oh Man Would Steve Be Proud of his Sin he’s 100% watching over him he’s was an amazing man
Robert and Bindi are such animal lovers like their father. I still watch the reruns of the crocodile hunter. I actually sometimes wanna live on the edge like they do. Maybe meet em someday lol
Robert Irwin even sounds like his dad when he talks, he talks about the Great White Sharks and Crocodiles "Crocs"..
Sharks are some powerful creatures it’s amazing to see such a dedicated crew
I don't care what you've done, you're the son of the greatest animal lover the world has ever seen. You were born a legend
He sounds so much like his father. Both in the way he speaks and how he sounds. Sometimes when im watching him if i look away form the screen I could swear it was Steve. His father would be so proud of him and you can tell Terry is proud of him but also nervous for him as his mother and as such a caring woman.
Your dad was an absolute legend of a human You are well on your way lad 🙏🏾
Robert remind me his father. Steve Irwin gave me the love of the wild and now im watching Robert being exactly the same as his father. Never change Robert i hope you can give to my childs what you dad give to me
Robert is so fun to watch!
seems very humble and passionate. Also has alot of his dad mannerism
Bindy is so wholesome, but Robert is a natural. Cant wait to see what else he shows the world.
He's a great speaker and he's still so young.
Awhh I love this family so much
Feel like I'm watching Steve through Robert....Amazing 😁
He is really awesome adventurer ,as his father will forever be a big wild heart
I had flashbacks to when I’d watch his father on TV! It’s like watching someone (an actor) playing a role. You get flashes of his dad in his smile, enthusiasm, and personality while he’s just being himself. It’s so great to see him carrying on his father’s legacy of conservation and education and I’m glad he’s doing it in his own style. Terri looks almost the same as she did when her and Steve did their TV shows. Such a beautiful family with a beautiful purpose! ❤️❤️
He sounds almost exactly like his dad. Right on Robert keep up the hard work
Would love to see Robert do more shows!! He's a natural!! 🤩😎
Brave!!!!!!!.......GREETINGS FROM HAVANA CITY, CUBA!!!!!!
We love you Robert! Take care! Be safe!
Steve lives on in his son 🙌
That fella hanging onto the rope, you really thought you'd be able to just casually stay upright XD
Love it that he sounds like his father!
Robert to seagull... "You can stay there bud." Seagull... "Why? So you can watch me get brutally murdered when that shark comes around again? Yeah I don't think so bye!
Ones of my few favorites family 👍sending my bless🙏
He has his Dad's enthusiasm 🎉 Great to see the similarities ❤
take a shot everytime a stranger on the internet says "hE's JuSt LiKe HiS dAd StEvE WoUlD bE SoOoOoO pRoUd"
Remember seeing him as a baby at Brisbane zoo early 2000s. Loved watching his dad so much. Doesn’t time fly. He has done his fathers legacy proud 🙌🏻
Yup thought the man was just gnna jump in the water no cage 😂🤦🏽♂️
Even his voice is the same... That's so surreal.
Robert I have a wish for the Irwin's to reach out to the KZread birdtricks in the USA. Would be a awesome collab. The work they do with parrots is amazing. To see a macaw in free flight !!!
Wow how much does he sound like his dad it sounds like listening to Steve all over again 😱
I'm pretty sure his dad was looking down going, "YES!" lol
Spitting image of his dad and talks like him as well RIP Steve Irwin your son's doing great
Them standing on the edge of the vessel without any fence while the great white shark is right beneath them. My anxiety kicks in.
I see a lot of Steve Irwin in Robert Irwin , he's so much like his dad it's crazy , your dad would be so proud of you Robert & you've grown up to be a handsome young man 💙💙💙💙💙
We love seeing the Irwin kids take on their father's legacy. Bravo!
The fact that there is no railing and that guy got tossed around give me extreme anxiety 😱
I have the biggest crush on him, he is absolutely amazing, full of courage and dazzling personality!😊
Absolute legend Rob, way to keep up the love with animals and all the media attention you have to put up with, but the way your passion for nature is portrayed is so cool for our children and the world. Not sure a male white shark can be 30foot but either way you gave awesome attention to the Neptune's and cool opportunity. I notice blondey lost the bait again, (lost on my trip too) haha score that up luv
Robs so much like his dad never afraid and always admiring of the words creatures. Even though his father passed due to an ocean animal he just gets back up on that horse like Steve always did.
This is awesome
In comparison to saltwater crocodiles, white sharks are gentle giants, at least where their general behaviour towards humans is concerned. They don't really see humans as worth eating.

It all depends on how you look at it. As part of a super tight, and very loving family, I’d imagine Robert would be very proud to live in his Fathers shadow, as you call it. I think many would disagree, Robert is his own person and has many fans due to being Robert Irwin and not Steve. Robert and Bindi are creating new legacies and are the faces of Australia Zoo with Terri. Steve will never be forgotten, however this new generation with social media are definitely able to carve out their own identities.. plenty of room for plenty of Irwin’s, such an amazing family.
Robert is a gem!!! If anyone/animal hurts him, they’re going extinct!!! ❤️❤️❤️
His dad would be so proud.
Wow, that was nuts! What a beauty of a shark she was! 2000ww was definitely out of the unexpected….
the power behind the Great White is just unbelievable!
Wow that guy almost got pulled into the water
I still miss Steve it was a shock and heartbreaking when he died he is so very much missed stay safe Robert dad will always be there to help you....
Wow its amazing how the shark could generate that much power. Beautiful raw power!
Little Bob's all grown up 🙂 a lot like his dad too
I watched Sydney shark fatal accident few days ago. Now, Tons of shark video recommend to me.
Great to see his enthusiasm for animals.
His dad for sure is smiling in the sky
