Steve Irwin’s 13 YO Son Is An Award Winning Photographer And Brilliant Doesn’t Even Cut It!

Steve Irwin, a zookeeper, environmentalist and television legend has forever been immortalized as ‘The Crocodile Hunter’.

After he passed away due to injuries and blood loss from a stingray attack, his family took up the mantle to keep the family legacy alive.

His son, Robert Clarence Irwin, has always been quite comfy getting up close and personal with all kinds of animals.

He’s been posing with his creature friends since childhood.

 

And now it looks like, Robert is already following in his papa’s footsteps when it comes to proclaiming his love about all things nature.

But this time, he’s doing it from behind the lenses.

Robert has been capturing some breathtaking shots of animals in the wild. Not just that, there’s plenty of nature photography too and they’re all too beautiful for words.

He was also was runner-up in the junior category of the 2016 Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year competition.

 

If you’ve ever had the chance to check out Robert Irwin’s Instagram feed, you’ll know exactly what we mean!

Since December last year, Robert has been sharing his amazing snapshots on his Instagram page and you can see that this 13 year old has oodles of talent.

We’ve got some to show you right here. But fair warning: Once you start scrolling, you won’t be able to stop.

It is incredible to see the complex social structure of one of the most powerful predators on the planet. Lions show so much affection towards one an other and they are very efficient as they work as a team. I had the opportunity to photograph these lions and many other African species @pondoro_game_lodge in South Africa! 🦁 #africa #pondorogamelodge

Craving for more now, aren’t you?

Now what if we told you this extremely talented young man is merely 13 years old?

One thing is for sure, Steve Irwin, wherever he is, must be one proud papa!
