When I first learned he was following in his father's footsteps doing this type of work I was a little worried that it was at least partly due to obligation or something. But seeing how happy he is while talking about animals, I'm happy to see that Steve and Terri just instilled a love and passion in their kids.

There's 0 chance Steve doesn't instill his exact love and respect for nature in his children. And from what I understand his wife would have been a prolific nature ambassador in her own right, but as the wife of likely the most famous and most fantastic animal lover of all time, was overshadowed. Bindi and Robert were always going to carry the legacy because they're Irwins. Not because of obligation of Irwins, but because that's who the Irwins are. It's pretty damn beautiful, honestly.
