THE Crocodile Hunter’s 4-year-old son is looking to get his own wildlife TV show.
“He’s a little Steve clone,” says Steve Irwin’s widow, Terri Irwin.
In a segment of a popular Australian newsmagazine “60 Minutes” this week, little Bob Irwin was seen wrestling a (little) crocodile, cradling reptiles and filming a potential TV pilot.
“I’m mister independence,” Bob says, refusing help from celebrity sister Bindi, 10 – who already has her own wildlife show on the Discovery Kids channel – to climb a tree.
Terri Irwin insists Bob and Bindi have normal childhoods and doesn’t believe it’s unusual that the family watches a Steve Irwin DVD each morning.
“It’s comforting and familiar,” she says. “It’s nice while we’re having breakfast to hear Steve’s voice in the background. It’s special.”
Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray in a freak accident two years ago while filming a show.
