Following Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin’s death, his daughter Bindi Irwin will be carrying the wildlife torch. Bindi, The Jungle Girl is a 26-part documentary for Discovery Kids that is currently being filmed. The series is set to begin in January 2007. 8-year-old Bindi says of the documentary, “I’m trying to get across the message that don’t be afraid of animals, they’re just put on this earth to help the environment and everything like that.” Steve Irwin will also have a presence in the show—he filmed some scenes prior to his death. Bindi and dad are animated in the opening credits, with a theme song that says “The Croc Hunter taught her/and now his only daughter/is Bindi the Jungle Girl.” Bindi was praised for her brave tribute to her father during the September 20th memorial service and her appearance at the recent Nickelodeon Australian Kids’ Choice Awards.
