Let’s just say that Robert Irwin’s evening running track is not your run-of-the-mill course.
Sharing a video to Instagram, the son of the late Steve Irwin was seen running around Australia Zoo in Queensland before jumping the fence into one of the enclosures.

The zookeeper had decided to pay a spontaneous visit to the tortoise exhibit, to show his 5.3 million followers the “beautiful” animals.
“I’m on my afternoon run around Australia Zoo and I wanted to show you something,” he said to the camera while in motion.
Leaping over the fence, he nails the landing before telling viewers: “Alright, have a look at this”.
“Hello,” he said to the tortoise. “This here is a little radiated tortoise”.
“Bit ironic running into this bloke when you’re on a run, ‘cause these little guys aren’t in too much of a hurry.
“But they’re just beautiful! Look at that little face.”
He went on to share the fun fact that tortoises “can feel through their shell even though this is their armour-plated defence mechanism”.
“They can feel everything, so they enjoy a little scratch,” he said scratching the shell.
Lowering the tortoise back to the group, he said, “See you mate,” as the animal continued slowly walking.
“That’s about top speed,” Irwin joked, before setting off again on his run and once again jumping over the barricade.
“I’m going to try not to stack it here,” he said, before making the leap and landing back on the footpath.
The comments certainly did not disappoint, with fans in hysterics about Irwin jumping the fence of his own family’s zoo.
“I don’t want to ever live in a world where an Irwin isn’t telling me to ‘have a look at this’,” the top comment read.
“Did you just teach us how to get into the tortoise enclosure?!!??” a second asked.
“Lol, security is probably like, ‘What the?! Oh. It’s Robert. 🙄’” another teased.
Meanwhile, others compared the wildlife warrior to his late father Steve.
“My gosh … you have so many of the same endearing mannerisms your dad had that also made him a pleasure to watch, listen and learn from ❤,” one said.
“I’m positive that your dad looks at you with so much love and pride because you remind him of your mum and his love of her ❤❤,” added a second.
On February 22, Irwin, his sister Bindi, and their mother Terri all paid tribute to Steve on what would have been his 62nd birthday.
The globally famous Aussie died at 44, when a stingray’s barb pierced his chest as he was filming an underwater documentary on The Great Barrier Reef on September 4, 2006.
Robert shared a video about his father’s love of a particular Honda motorbike.
The video contained photos and footage of Steve on his beloved bike, which Robert is now looking after.
“Some of my fondest and earliest memories were on that bike and after Dad passed away the bike sat sitting for quite some time,” Irwin said in his post.
“But I got it back up and running recently and now it’s my job to get the motorbike started of a morning and do the same park checks around Australia Zoo.
“Every time I get on that bike and ride the same route around Australia Zoo that he did, it means so much that this piece of machinery that he loved and used every day keeps on running.”
Across on Bindi’s Instagram, the 25-year-old noted the legacy her dad left.
“Happy Birthday, Dad. Your legacy will live on forever,” she wrote, sharing a carousel of photos.
Meanwhile Terri shared a video of Steve doing all the things that made him famous — handling snakes, hanging out with crocs, and talking enthusiastically about wildlife.
“Happy Birthday! Missing my Action Man,” Terri wrote.
