Legacy of the 'Crocodile Hunter'

Steve Irwin, also known as the 'Crocodile Hunter' by many, was a renowned face on Animal Planet. The late Australian was a zookeeper and a conservationist, who managed to bond with animals in a manner very few could. He succumbed to his demise when a stingray's barb pierced his heart while filming in 2006.

Following in his route, his family is about to start a new chapter to pay homage to the celebrated personality, with an upcoming show titled Crikey! It's the Irwins. The show will feature Irwin's wife Terri and their two children, Bindi and Robert, who will be attending to the animals at their Australia Zoo. The family will also be heading out on multiple expeditions.

“We are continuing on in dad's footsteps and everything that we do today at Australia Zoo and with our Wildlife Warriors work is exactly what he started,” said Bindi. His son Robert added, “We'll take you to Africa. We'll take you to the Great Barrier Reef. We'll take you up north to remote northern Queensland where we do our crocodile research. It's all about wildlife, it's all about conservation and fun as a family.”

Crikey! It's the Irwins is set to air on October 28 on Animal Planet.
