Robert Irwin is the Black Sheep/Goat of the Irwin Family?

Born in 2003, the
Year of the Black Sheep/Goat?

"Sheep are artistic, hardworking perfectionists who make good actors and musicians."

I thought it was ironic that the day I went into the city to get a copy of my birth certificate that I should stumble across a 2021 Photography Competition inspired by Robert Irwin's passion for photography, just above where I had parked my car for the day, considering that the last time I was up at Australia Zoo I bought a mouse pad featuring Robert's photography.

My Robert Irwin mouse pad in front of me now:-)

I had no idea Robert was days away from turning 18 when I stumbled across these photos just outside the Queensland Museum.

I saw a news story on the evening news that was run on his 18th birthday, not that I knew Rob was born in the Year of the Sheep/Goat then, I only found out today when I was wondering what Chinese zodiac sign Rob was born under.

It's hard to beat that snake photo of Robert's, but there were some other photographer's photos that gave him a run for his money.

And I'll bet his granddad liked this photographer's photo of the dingo below -

The Visitation?

I found it interesting that Mick Jagger was born in the Year of the Black/Water Goat/Sheep, as well:-)

Which means that there is one whole 60-year Chinese astrological cycle between the birth of Mick and Robert.

Or in other words, Mick Jagger is 60 years older than Robert Irwin.

And I thought I was old ... I'm as old as Robert's mother Terri, who is a Dragon, too;-)

Born in the Year of the Tiger?

CRIKEY, the Crocodile Hunter is Really a Tiger Queen ... slander?

No More Dancing in the Streets ... for a While?

Born in 1967, the Year of the Fire Goat/Sheep

I see Julia Roberts is born in the Year of the Fire Goat/Sheep, 1967 and is filming a movie called 'Ticket to Paradise' in Robert Irwin's home Australian state of Queensland right now.

Robert should send Roberts one of his Bird of Paradise/Hummingbird T-shirts, and maybe an invite to Australia Zoo, too?-)
