that platypus is the cutest thing i’ve ever seen

[@Humongous420]

I miss Steve so much. It's great to see him and hear his voice ♡ He was a truly great human

[@kimhollenbeck1308]

Awe platypuses are beautiful and interesting to read about them as well as to look at pictures of them

[@lindakelley2676]

I did a report in school 60 years ago, when I was 7 years old, on the duckbill platypus, they’ve fascinated me always, and I’m addicted to wildlife documentaries. It’s inspiring to see young people becoming such good stewards to the land and animals, something humans have mostly failed on so far.Steve Irwin was a true hero for our planet, his kids have carried on such a meaningful legacy.

[@greenghost6691]

Did you ever get to see a platypus in person?

[@lindakelley2676]

@@greenghost6691 I wish!

[@El_FzEq]

@@greenghost6691 They are VERY hard to spot in the wild. Nocturnal, camouflaged, timid. Even YT videos with wild footage about them are rare.

If that’s his son narrating he sounds just like Steve.

You can't convince me a platypus isn't a glitch in the Matrix😂

[@rachelkristine4669]

We are all so lucky to have Bob. He is a clone of his father, down to his never ending love for Australia's Native creatures. His father would be so proud! 🥰

[@jackiesharp669]

From this short video of the platypus I've learnt so much about them. Thanks

[@maxwellgarrison2983]

Platypodes are the most ancient of all mammals, laying eggs held in a pouch, with the lowest body temperatures, having venom, and having a crocodile-like stance. They are the most recent living descendant of the synapsid/therapsid ancestors of all mammals in the Permian Period. During the Triassic the Dinosaurs began to take over, but after the KT extinction event, I consider that "The Synapsids' Revenge" and the noble and hardy Platypus played a huge role in that. The ancestors of the Marsupials must have been Monotremes, and the ancestors of the Placentals must have been Marsupials.

This family’s mentality is amazing

[@vickilang8005]

Steve would be so proud of Terri and Robert and Bindi I'm so happy that you guys have carried on your dad's legacy love u guys

[@anjarae8828]

I love how Australia cares so much about the wildlife in their country .

[@xray111xxx]

So right you have to go out and get them. They can't come to you! Steve is the one, and Robert is his amazing son who carries on the Mantle. Terri, and Bindi are amazing too of course. What a pleasure it would be to be their friend, and encourage to be the best of what is themselves always, while always carrying on Steve's legacy. I still remember I saw Steve Irwin on TV for the first time. I wasn't sure what to make out of him, but as I saw more of him, I knew he was the best ambassador of all wildlife world wide. Robert, Bindi, Terri just carry on this mighty responsibility. Would be cool to know as kids how Bindi and Robert were growing up in Australia Zoo. Wow, what an exciting life. So blessed. Many great years of love for the Irwins, and all widlife they save, and care for.
