Robert Clarence Irwin was born on December 1, 2003. Robert enjoys catching lizards and skinks, learning about wildlife and the Australian bush, and hanging out with his much-adored sister, Bindi.
“Robert decided he wanted to be all about discovery,” Terri told The Courier-Mail. “He wants to get out there and do it and wrangle it and experience it and climb it. That’s his passion. He’s very (like) Steve.”

Every year, Robert participates in the annual Australia Zoo croc research trip up in far north Queensland. He helps the experienced croc team catch and tag crocodiles with tracking devices before releasing them back into the wild.
Robert also has his own Australia Zoo TV channel on the zoo’s Web-based network, ‘Robert’s Real Life Adventures‘. Viewers can see the junior activist host wildlife “Webisodes” that follow his family as they travle around the world.
