Robert Irwin has been taking care of the animals at Australia Zoo after it closed its doors amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
And on Wednesday, the 16-year-old ventured out into the bush on an expedition to photograph a 'critically endangered species' in its natural habitat.
Robert posted a video of his photography trip to Instagram, documenting the exact moment he made the rare sighting.

'I can’t believe we finally found it': On Wednesday, Robert Irwin (pictured) photographed a 'critically endangered species' in the wild amid the COVID-19 pandemic
'I'm here in the natural habitat of a critically endangered species. It's very rare and I'm going to see if I can document it for the first time,' Robert said in the clip.
In the video, Robert then ventured through the bush while high-stakes music played.
'There it is! Stay calm, get down! Straight through there!' Robert said, before hilariously revealing that the endangered species was actually a roll of toilet paper.

The endangered species: Toilet paper and other sanitary items have been in short supply due to panic buying amid the COVID-19 pandemic

'How's that? It's in perfect condition! Critically rare and endangered! This is amazing. Wow! Can't believe it!' Robert said as he took photos of the toilet roll.
The camera then panned over to another in-demand supply, hand sanitiser.
'Hang on! Look over there, no way! It's even more endangered. I can't believe it! It's a close relative of this one, also critically endangered,' Robert said.
They need conservation! The camera then panned to another in-demand supply, hand sanitiser

Robert then concluded the video, revealing that it was actually just a COVID-19-inspired April Fool's Day prank.
'This is one of the most incredible expeditions I've been on. Tough work, but we finally found them. April fools! Wash your hands, people,' he said.
Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to escalate in Australia.
As of Thursday night, there have been 5,136 confirmed cases, which have resulted in 24 deaths.
