And fans of both the father and son took to the comments to share how much they miss the iconic conservationist and TV personality.

“This is precious! Following in your daddy’s footsteps! He would be so proud of you!” one commenter wrote.

“Just a boy. On a flight with his dad,” another fan sweetly added.

Among fans however, were Robert’s mom and sister who also couldn’t help but comment.

“Super special,” mom Terri wrote, while Bindi simply said, “The best.”

“The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course” released in 2002 and the famed father passed away in 2006 when Robert was just three years old.

Robert along with his mom and Bindi have continued to work in conservationism in Australia and have become established names in the US as well thanks to their animal expertise and regular TV appearances. Bindi also won “Dancing With The Stars” in 2015.
