Robert Irwin Facts
- When he was just a month old, his father Steve Irwin was seen carrying him on his arm while feeding chicken carcass to a 3.8-metre (12 ft 6 in) saltwater crocodile during a live show. Robert was very close to the crocodile, which prompted widespread criticism of his father’s actions.
- The incident led to the Queensland Government changing the crocodile-handling laws. The government banned the entry of untrained adults and children in crocodile enclosures.
- When he was just 3 years old, his father passed away after being attacked by a stingray while working on the production of the documentary series Ocean’s Deadliest.

- In 2013, he released his collection of books called Dinosaur Hunter. Lachlan Creag and Jack Wells were his co-authors on the project.
- He has earned plaudits for his work as a photographer. He even finished as a runner-up in the junior category of the Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year competition in 2016.
- He is a member of Scouts Australia, which is Australia’s largest Scouting organization. He was made the organization’s ambassador in April 2017, which also formalized his family zoo’s association with the organization.
