Bindi and Robert Irwin shared tributes as Australia Zoo continued the conservation work Steve Irwin championed, 20 years after his death.
- On Friday, September 4, 2026, the world marks the 20th anniversary of Steve Irwin's death, remembering the Australian conservationist and The Crocodile Hunter who died in 2006 after a stingray attack off the Great Barrier Reef.
- Known for his khaki uniform and signature "Crikey!," Irwin became a global icon whose energetic programs introduced millions to wildlife, teaching that animals should be respected rather than feared or exploited.
- Honoring their father on social media Friday, Robert Irwin wrote, "Your legacy is forever," while Bindi Irwin shared that her 5-year-old daughter feels loved by her "grandpa crocodile" despite never meeting him.
- The family continues his mission through Australia Zoo and Wildlife Warriors, the conservation organization Irwin built, focusing on animal rescue, habitat protection, and education to maintain his legacy.
- Beyond conservation, siblings Bindi and Robert have introduced the Irwin legacy to new audiences through entertainment, with Bindi winning Dancing with the Stars in 2015 and Robert winning season 34 and the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.
