It's often not surprising that kids look a lot like their parents.

But Robert Irwin is seriously IDENTICAL to his late father, Steve Irwin!

The 15-year-old took to Instagram overnight to share the most heartwarming tribute to his famous dad.

In a side-by-side comparison image, Robert posted a photo of Steve feeding a crocodile called Murray at Australia Zoo fifteen years ago.

Below it, he added a photo of himself feeding the same croc.

The poses of the two Irwins are strikingly similar!

In the caption he wrote: "Dad and me feeding Murray... same place, same croc - two photos 15 years apart."

It's been over 12 years since the "Crocodile Hunter" tragically died, but looking at these photos had us smiling and tearing up at the same time.

The post attracted over 400,000 likes within hours and received many comments from Steve's fans.

Previously, Robert has revealed that he still feels a strong connection to Steve.

"I feel closest to Dad when I'm working with the animals that he really loved," he said.

We’re sure Steve couldn’t be more proud of his son!

September will mark 13 years since Steve's passing.
