Little Grace and her Grandpa Crocodile

Bindi, now 24, got teary as she watched Grace instantly recognise her grandparents in a poster displayed at Australia Zoo in Beerwah on the Sunshine Coast.

Clearly missing her dad, Bindi posted “Tears in my eyes as I share this video. We call my mum and dad Bunny and Grandpa Crocodile with Grace.”

The 44-year-old conservationist and his wife, Terri, were already famous for their wildlife documentary television series ‘The Crocodile Hunter’, Steve had been snorkelling in shallow water, capturing footage for a different TV show, when the barb of a stingray’s tail suddenly stabbed him through the heart.

Grace was born on March 25, 2021 to Bindi and her husband, Chandler Powell.
