Robert Irwin

Robert Irwin and his abundance of energy is contagious. Along with a huge affinity for nature, Irwin has a love for wildlife photography, conservation and teaching people about the importance of the natural world.

Irwin’s favorite animals are crocodiles, and he educates thousands of guests about these apex predators by showcasing their natural behaviour in Australia Zoo’s daily “Wildlife Warrior’s Show.” He is also part of the annual Australia Zoo crocodile research trip on the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve in Far North Queensland, helping the experienced croc team catch and tag crocodiles with tracking devices before releasing them back into the wild. He is always keen to learn all he can about the biology and behaviours of these modern-day dinosaurs. Passionate about his work at Australia Zoo and their charity Wildlife Warriors, there is nothing he enjoys more than helping care for their huge family of animals, whether that’s feeding a crocodile or wrangling a snake.

Irwin continues to support conservation projects around the world with his family in locations all across the globe, from the African savannah to the Sumatran jungle, and the mangroves of Far North Queensland. He is always enthusiastic to share his love of wildlife and wild places in the hope that he may inspire others to help conserve our planet for the future.

Notable achievements include four seasons of the television series “Crikey! It’s the Irwins,” lead role in the television series “Steve Irwin’s Wildlife Warriors,” co-created and provided illustrations for book series “Robert Irwin: Dinosaur Hunter,” 2009 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards winner: Biggest Greenie, 2019 winner Queensland Tourism Award: Young Achiever’s Award, 2020 Wildlife Photographer Of The Year: People’s Choice Award, 2020 Ambassador for His Royal Highness Prince William’s: Earthshot Prize plus numerous award nominations, television appearances and conservation campaigns globally.

In 2024, Irwin was once again named as the ambassador for the Earthshot Prize, won the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Award for Aussie/Kiwi Legend of the Year, and was nominated alongside Julia Morris for the TV Week Gold Logie for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television. In 2025, he was named the official face of Australia through Tourism Australia, voiced a koala in “Zootopia 2,” and took home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy as the winner of the 34th season of the U.S. “Dancing with the Stars.”
