Like father, like son! Robert Irwin is compared to his famous dad Steve in resurfaced identical pictures taken 15 years apart

There’s no mistaking Robert Irwin is the son of the late wildlife warrior Steve.

And a resurfaced snap has fans doing a double take.

In 2019, Robert, 20, re-created an iconic photograph of his father feeding Australia Zoo’s most dangerous crocodile ‘Murray’.

In the image, the teenager looks eerily similar to Steve, dressed in the same Australia Zoo uniform of Khaki coloured shorts and matching shirt. 

The photo shows Robert perilously close to the dangerous animal, just like Steve. 

One social media user re-shared the side by side comparison to Facebook on Wednesday.

‘Steve Irwin and his son. Same place, same crocodile, 15 years apart,’ the post read alongside the caption ‘Geez Steve was a bloody legend hey !!’

Fans were quick to share their thoughts on the comparison.

‘He would be so proud x,’ one fan commented.

‘Aussie icons,’ another wrote, while a third pointed out ‘Dad looks calm, son looks worried.’

Steve, known as ‘The Crocodile Hunter’, was tragically killed when he was barbed by a stingray on September 4, 2006, at Batt Reef near Port Douglas in far north Queensland.
