Robert Irwin’s tweet went viral online taking Steve Irwin fans down memory lane.

The conservationist popularly known as Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin captured the hearts of millions of viewers around the world with his interactions with animals. Steve’s career began in Queensland, where he was brought up around crocodiles and other reptiles in the Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park. His two children have followed a similar path. Despite Steve’s early demise, his family has attempted to preserve his legacy and his teenage son recently posted a photo of him that showed how closely he was following in his father’s footsteps.

Robert shared a photo of him feeding a crocodile named Murray, in the same place where his dad fed the same reptile 15 years earlier. He posted the two photos on Twitter to show the similarities, and people were instantly reminded of the similarities the 15-year-old Robert shared with his father.
