Robert Irwin’s mom, Terri Irwin, is among the celebrities who joined the ‘90s trend on social media, showing fans a glimpse of her past.
The American-Australian conservationist and author took her 1.1 million Instagram followers on a nostalgic trip, proudly showing a series of throwback photos with her late husband and iconic “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin.
In an Instagram update, she captioned her post “What were you like in the ‘90s?” The video featured a collection of photos from her late 20s to early 30s, mostly snapshots with wild animals, including large crocodiles, reptiles, raccoons and even a cougar.
Of course, the throwback post wouldn’t be complete without adorable baby photos of daughter Bindi Irwin and son Robert Irwin.
The post quickly caught the attention of fans, flooding the comment section with admiration, with some even calling her a “badass” and a “true icon.”

“Terri was and IS gorgeous. It’s not actually surprising at all that Steve’s heart was going ‘ka-thump ka-thump! Ka-thump!’” another added.
“Gorgeous then, gorgeous now,” another echoed.
In addition, fans also noticed Terri Irwin’s youthful beauty then and now, with many sharing the same reaction after seeing her latest post.
“Gorgeous lady! How haven’t you aged in 30 years?” one asked.
“She seriously hasn’t aged one bit,” a commenter said.
Another added, noting, “Seems like yesterday!!!! You look the same!!!!!!!”
“You haven’t changed,” a fan echoed.
“Terri still looks the same!!!” an Instagram user commented.
The same goes for another who said, “How have you not even aged!!”
Before becoming a super mom of two, Terri Irwin met Steve Irwin by chance in 1991 at the Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park, now famously known as Australia Zoo.

Fate brought her to meet the love of her life when she visited a reptile park.
“Right away we were talking about wildlife, and our passions in life and I kept thinking, ‘I wonder if this guy’s married,’” the 61-year-old told PEOPLE. “He said to me, ‘Would you like to meet my girlfriend, Sue?’ I tried to be cool about it, but I was devastated. Then he goes, ‘Hey Sue, Suey, come here.’ And his little dog came running around the corner. ‘This is my girlfriend, Sue,’ he said. I thought, ‘Yes!’ ”
She is now a grandmother to Bindi Irwin’s daughter, Grace Warrior Irwin Powell, and serves as the owner and chairwoman of Australia Zoo, which she runs with her two children.
