Two Australian Reptile Park zookeepers look set to become the next Irwins as they made their debut on Sunrise on Thursday morning.

Siblings Bindi and Robert Irwin and their mother Terri have become nationally beloved for their conservation work on Australia Zoo in Queensland.

Since Steve Irwin's tragic death in 2006, the family have carried on his legacy and have won over legions of fans with their upbeat videos on social media.

But two personable zookeepers from Australian Reptile Park on the Central Coast look set to rival the stars as they captured attention on Seven's chat show.

Emma and Imogen appeared on Sunrise with two adorable dingo pups Bluey and Bandit - named after the main characters in the hit Aussie kids animation Bluey.

The stunning zookeepers were all smiles as they spoke to hosts Natalie Barr and Matt Shirvington about their work with the sweet dingo pups.

The nature-loving pair could become the next famous zookeepers as they won fans over with their bright smiles and cheery nature - which rivaled the Irwins' own brand.

They were on the show promoting their work with dingos and the zoo's upcoming Winter Wonderland event, which will feature an ice skating rink and inflatable mazes.

Of dingos' bad reputation, Emma won viewers over as she enthusiastically explained: 'They are an innately wild animal, they're not a domestic dog. 

'However we are lucky enough to be able to raise them from a tiny little puppy, so we can create beautiful relationships with them.'

Emma is an experienced zookeeper, having worked at the Australian Reptile Park - owned by John Weigel and his wife Robyn - since July 2022.

She previously worked at Central Coast Zoo and has also held roles at Seaworld on the Gold Coast and Taronga Zoo in Sydney, according to her social media.

Both Emma and Imogen frequently feature on the Australian Reptile Park's social media pages and could be set to carve out huge fanbases of their own.

It comes after conservationist Robert gave fans a rare insight into his personal life by revealing what his famous family are really like behind closed doors.

The presenter, 20, told how he leads an 'undramatic and boring' life with his mother Terri, sister Bindi, brother-in-law Chandler Powell and niece Grace Warrior, three.

'As public as it all is, I definitely still get to live a very nice and authentic existence,' he told the Mental As Anyone podcast.

'In terms of the family dynamic, we're the most undramatic boring people in the world, which is awesome. What we do is absolutely nuts.

'You're jumping on crocs, you're saving wildlife, you're doing this, doing that. But in terms of the Irwin family dynamic, we're just like, proper, just vanilla ice cream, like we are so boring.'

Robert explained he has a 'very tight knit family group' and there is never any sense of 'drama' between them.

He added: 'There's nothing wrong with having a boring family dynamic. In fact, that's what you're shooting for.'
