LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - '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."

It both saddens me and makes me proud to hear that his daughter carries on the tradition. Long live the Crocodile Hunter.

What sickens me is those idiots that kill string rays because one killed Steve. What idiot thought Steve would like that, thats a disgrace against all what Steve belived in!

Well back on topic, sounds interesting! Never knew his daughter had her own show or was getting one.

How ironic, thinking that killing those stingrays will incite a form of joy but it actually makes the situation worse...

[-Tigger-]

u kno wot its like tho.. ppl over react all the time and take it out on others

sounds really interesting, but i think its abit of a premature annoucement..

It's a human instinct, I guess... Going after those who have killed your hero...
