flag Robert Irwin, now 22, spoke emotionally with Anderson Cooper about grieving his father, Steve Irwin, who died in 2006. flag Though he was just two when Steve passed, Robert feels his father’s presence most strongly in remote Australian wilderness, where he seeks guidance and finds comfort. flag During his first crocodile research expedition, he identified a large crocodile with a unique scale pattern matching one Steve had caught 20 years earlier—confirmed by satellite tracking to be from the same location. flag Robert described the moment as a powerful sign, reinforcing his path in conservation. flag He credited his mother, Terri, for being a father figure and said working at Australia Zoo keeps Steve’s legacy alive, even as the sense of absence remains.
