Tiny Fan Asks Robert Irwin A Precious Question That Touches His Heart

A little girl stands near the camera, the back of her head seen in this image. Robert Irwin stands across from her, mouth open in shock.

Everyone can be brave in their own way. But a select few are brave in the same way as Robert Irwin. His late father, Steven Irwin, was like this as well. The same can be said about this entire animal-loving family! No matter if the animal is found right in the middle of their own Australian zoo or one they came across in the middle of nowhere, the Irwin family loves interacting with animals of all kinds.

“There’s a difference between bravery and afraid. I’m afraid all of the time,” Robert explains. “The most important thing is how you respond to that fear.”

“I love Robert Irwin. He has Steve’s spirit,” someone writes in reply to this heartwarming video, with another person adding, “Please protect Robert Irwin at all costs.”

“I loved Steve Irwin as a child,” a third fan shares. “I’m glad my children will have Robert to be their crocodile hunter!”
