Robert and Bindi Irwin are sharing words of love for their late father, Steve Irwin, to mark his birthday.
The Crocodile Hunter and conservationist who was born on February 22, 1962, would’ve turned 60 this week.
Robert shared a throwback pic on Instagram of himself as a little boy sitting on a motorbike with his dad, both smiling.
“Happy birthday Dad. I love you and I miss you more every single day,” he captioned the photo.

“My earliest memories are my fondest, thanks to you. Hanging on tight to the handlebars of the motorbike, when you’d take Bindi and I on your morning lap of the zoo – before going to get ice cream for breakfast. Every minute spent with you was a blessing. I’m gonna ride that lap on your old motorbike this afternoon.”
