Robert Clarence Irwin (born 1 December 2003) is an Australian television personality, conservationist, and photographer.
Robert Irwin was born on 1 December 2003, the second of two children of Steve Irwin and Terri Irwin. He is of English and Irish ancestry, with abundance of Irish ancestry on his father's side. Both Robert and his sister Bindi Irwin were homeschooled at Australia Zoo.
A controversial incident occurred during a public show on 2 January 2004, when Irwin's father Steve carried Robert, then one month old, in his arm while hand-feeding a chicken carcass to a 3.8-metre (12 ft 6 in) saltwater crocodile. Robert Irwin was close to the crocodile, and comparisons were made in the press to Michael Jackson's dangling his son 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.
In 2009, Irwin had a cameo appearance in Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove. In 2014 and 2015, Irwin co-hosted a TV series named Wild But True on Discovery Kids Channel.
On 16 February 2017, Irwin made his late-night television debut when he appeared on The Tonight Show. He presented a crocodile, a screaming armadillo, a snake, and a sloth to the host Jimmy Fallon.
