Bindi Irwin has hit back after fans made suggestions recent photos of herself, her daughter and a red panda were faked.

The photos, shared to Instagram, showed Irwin and her daughter Grace sitting on a rock with Australia Zoo’s red panda, Teddy, perched on their lap.

She captioned the image: “Meet Teddy. ️The sweetest red panda with a true love for snack time. I hope you can meet him on your next #AustraliaZoo adventure …”

“Pretty sure that’s a photoshop image,” one woman commented.

“I don’t know why he looks so photoshopped on lol,” another added.

Irwin was quick to hit back with her own comment, denying the panda had been added to the image.

“I think it’s so funny how some people think that our sweet red panda was photoshopped,” she wrote.

“I can tell you with absolute certainty that these photos are 100 per cent real (thank you @kateberryphotography for taking such beautiful pictures) and Teddy is in no way photoshopped.

“Hope you have a wonderful day and just a note … I’ll always share real wildlife moments with you. That’s kinda my thing …”

Irwin doubled down the next day, sharing video of the pair playing with the panda. Picture: Instagram

She doubled down the next day, sharing a video of herself and Grace playing with and feeding the panda.

“Teddy absolutely adoring his snacks,” Irwin wrote.

“It’s so important to me to share our wildlife with you and hopefully encourage everyone to take part in conserving, loving and respecting our natural world. Plus, it makes my heart beyond happy to see Grace’s JOY with our darling red panda.”
