Biography
Robert Clarence Irwin was born on 1 December 2003 in Buderim, Queensland, the younger of two children and the only son of Steve and Terri Irwin. His first and middle names are named in honour of both his paternal and maternal grandfathers, Bob Irwin and Clarence Raines. His father died from a stingray injury to the heart while filming an underwater documentary when Robert was two years old. Robert and his sister, Bindi Irwin, were home-schooled at Australia Zoo following their father’s death. He is a dual citizen of Australia (through his birth) and the United States (through his mother). His ancestry is English and has an abundance of Irish on his father’s side.
During a public show one month after Robert was born, his father carried him in his arm while hand-feeding a chicken carcass to a 3.8-metre (12 ft 6 in) saltwater crocodile. Robert was close to the crocodile, and the incident sparked comparisons in the press to Michael Jackson dangling his eldest son, Prince Michael Jackson II, outside a German hotel window. The incident prompted the Queensland Government to change its crocodile-handling laws, banning children and untrained adults from entering crocodile enclosures. However, special dispensation is granted to a child who has met a very strict set of guidelines and training requirements. Per The Sydney Morning Herald, “The only time a child will be able to enter an enclosure is under a strict, long-term training program which ensures safety controls.” In 2012, at age 8¾ and after extensive training and under expert supervision, Irwin was allowed to feed freshwater crocodiles for the first time, whose males max out at about 3 metres (9.8 ft).
Career
Robert Irwin has made a career for himself, from a young age, by following in his father’s footsteps by appearing on television and becoming an animal conservationist and zookeeper. He has also done a bit of acting work. In 2009, he made a cameo appearance in “Free Willy: Escape from Pirate’s Cove.” In 2012, he appeared alongside his mother and sister in a television show called “Steve Irwin’s Wildlife Warriors.” The show earned him a 2013 Logie Award nomination for Most Popular New Male Talent. In 2013, Irwin released a series of books called “Dinosaur Hunter” which he co-authored with Lachlan Creag and Jack Wells.
In 2014, Irwin co-hosted a television series named “Wild But True” on Discovery Kids Channel. He hosted the show the following year as well and it was later nominated for an International Emmy Kids Award in the factual category in 2016. Also in 2015, Irwin appeared as a guest on the British wildlife series “Ten Deadliest Snakes” in an episode which discussed Australia’s venomous snakes. In the episode, he guided presenter Nigel Marven through the Australia Zoo as they looked for a red-bellied black snake.
Irwin has also developed an interest in photography. In 2016, Irwin was runner-up in the junior category of the Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year competition. He also works as a contributor to the Australia Zoo “Crickey” magazine and has embarked upon many photography expeditions around the globe to photograph wildlife and natural habitats. He has turned his love of photography into a way of raising awareness for wildlife conservation by raising large amounts of money by auctioning off canvas prints of his work at events around the world. He has also acted as a conservationist ambassador of sorts, sometimes meeting with high-profile figures, like His Royal Highness King Charles, to discuss the protection of natural habitats.
