Bindi Irwin is keeping her late father’s legacy alive through her daughter!
On Sunday, Irwin, the 25-year-old daughter of Steve Irwin, shared a sweet before-and-after post of her daughter, which is right up her family’s alley.
“Nov 2021 vs Jan 2024 🐊 Love watching our beautiful baby girl grow up at #AustraliaZoo,” Bindi wrote on Grace Irwin Warrior Powell’s Instagram carousel.
In both photos, the child sat in the jaws of the “Cameron the Croc” statue, smiling as the inanimate beast held her between its teeth. The first photo dates from November 2021, while the second was taken just last month.
“Grace is so tall and gorgeous! I love her so much.❤️,” Bindi’s mother Terri Irwin commented on her granddaughter’s photo.
Bindi and her husband Chandler Powell welcomed their first child on March 25, 2021, exactly one year after they tied the knot at Australia Zoo, which is known as the “home of the crocodile hunter.”

Before Grace was born, Bindi said A bump“I know in my heart that she will carve her own path to make our planet a better place through her connections with the beautiful animals we protect here at Australia Zoo and conservation work around the world.”

“And there was every chance that we wouldn’t have been able to have a little one, so we have our beautiful little girl, we’re so happy. And I wish more people would stop before they ask, ‘Why don’t you have more kids?’
She also explained that it can be “heartbreaking” when people ask her when she plans to have more children “because you never know what’s going on in someone’s life and what’s going on behind closed doors.”
