Robert Irwin is the son of Steve Irwin and just like his famous father, he has a deep love for animals.
At the moment, the family is practising social distancing, much like the rest of the world, but they have plenty of interesting animals to hang out with.
The adorable selfie quickly went viral and people just couldn’t stop laughing at the funny duo. Robert and his wrinkly pal knew exactly how to cheer people up during these stressful times.
Shortly after posting the fantastic selfie, Robert’s mother, Terri Irwin, reposted the picture alongside a humorous as well as informative caption. Apparently, people can “adopt” animals like this beautiful tortoise if they want to support the zoo.
When you adopt one of the animals, you pay an adoption fee and in return, you receive a certificate, a picture of the animal and some other perks. There are different adoption packets at different price points and each packet comes with different perks and features.
The Australia Zoo is particularly focused on reptiles but they have plenty of other animals too. And Robert is regularly blessing the internet with cute animal-related snapshots, like these adorable shots of him chilling with some kangaroos: We’d love to be surrounded by these cuties.
