Although Steve Irwin's fearlessness in approaching animals that many of us have nightmares about was a big part of what put The Crocodile Hunter on the map, his show emphasized encouraging love and affection for the animals he featured as much as respect for their power.
That's a major reason why he is as sorely missed as ever today and why so many are excited to see his children follow in his footsteps.
In addition to carrying on his conservation work at Australia Zoo, Bindi and Robert have made it clear that they're just as enthusiastic about the world's interesting and sometimes dangerous animals as their dad was.
And in a recent video he shared to Twitter, Robert was similarly able to inspire a lot of affection for an animal we'd normally be inclined to fear.
