Robert Irwin Honors Late Dad Steve Irwin on His 17th Birthday

Steve Irwin‘s family and close friends are trying to keep his unforgettable legacy alive. 

On Tuesday, Dec. 1, Robert Irwin took to Instagram to share a lovely movie montage of him and his late dad that was gifted to him by the Australia Zoo for his 17th birthday. 

“Our lovely Australia Zoo crew produced this stunning video clip to rejoice my birthday, and it signifies the planet to me,” he wrote in the caption. “I am further than honoured to keep on my dad’s legacy and I hope a lot more than just about anything that he would be very pleased.”

In the two-moment movie, Steve can be listened to recounting his son’s delivery and sharing how a lot Robert and his more mature sister Bindi Irvwin intended to him. 

“I’m at the healthcare facility and Terry’s pushing and pushing and it is really tough. And it is really tough. And anyway, bang! Pop him out and I lifted him up and he’s a very little bloke and I place him on Terry’s chest and we’re just stoked,” he reported. “And at that minute, at that really instant, I noticed the gentle. The entire time, you hear you are like, ‘I’m catching crocs, I’m saving wildlife, I am accomplishing this and I am accomplishing that.'”
