Robert Irwin Feels Dad's Presence in Croc Encounter

0:00It's March 11th. Here's your entertainment news in two minutes. Robert Irwin recently shared a touching story about feeling his late father Steve's presence during a crocodile research trip in northern Australia. The 22-year-old conservationist was leading his first team capture, a big ride of passage started by Steve two decades earlier. To their surprise, one massive crock they wrangled had an old satellite tracker, not in their records. From the all there is with Anderson Cooper podcast, Robert described the intense moment. His heart was racing as the crock fought back with death rolls and closed calls. Lying on the animal to secure it, he spotted a unique skill pattern that sparked a memory. That warmth Robert often feels from his dad hit him strong right then. He sensed it like a hug in the wild bush, a sign Steve was watching over him. Moments like this make Robert pause and ask how to keep moving forward in his work. Taking an old photo, Robert confirmed it was the exact crock his dad had tagged twenty

1:01years before, even caught in the same spot. Using satellite data, he pieced it together, feeling the reptiles breath as a direct link to Steve's adventures. Steve Irwin passed away in 2006 from a stingray injury, but his family carries on the conservation legacy. Robert sees these encounters as encouragement, proving he's on the right path, just like his dad.
