Steve Irwin’s Daughter Wants To Swim With Stingrays For New Show
'Crocodile Hunter' Steve Irwin's eight-year-old daughter last night (14.09.06) vowed to copy her father and swim with stingrays.
Brave Bindi even said she will film the same giant fish who killed her father when she presents her own wildlife TV show 'Jungle Girl', scheduled to air in January.
Steve, 44, died tragically last week when a stingray's poisoned barb pierced his heart while he was filming a documentary at Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
It was thought Bindi's show would be axed following his death but she wants to carry on her father's conservation and TV work.
Steve's manager John Stainton revealed the naturalist only decided to film the stingray that killed him on the spur of the moment, so his daughter could see it.
He had been shooting scenes for his own new show 'Ocean's Deadliest' but suddenly decided to look for stingrays, which are known as the 'pussycats of the sea'.
John said: "It should have been an innocent encounter for a TV show aimed at children. Bindi's new series is going to premiere next January throughout the world.
"Steve was an integral part of that programme. We will do him proud and continue that effort."
Meanwhile, Steve's mother-in-law, Julie Raines, has revealed that Bindi, her two-year-old brother Robert, referred to by the wildlife expert as Bob, and his widow Terri have been left devastated by his untimely death.
Julie said: "Robert says, 'Where's daddy?' But Bindi's been a rock. It's just a very hard time."

Since at least 10 stingrays have shown up dead on the beach in Queensland, I think it's a great thing to do. The last thing this poor man & his family would want is wildlife being killed.
