Bindi Irwin - the cute, blonde pigtailed girl who used to follow her adventurous father (the late "Crocodile Hunter," Steve Irwin) around on several of his wild excursions as a young child. Following Irwin's unfortunate and tragic passing in 2006, Bindi went on to share and support her parents' conservationist philosophies. She also followed her father's footsteps into show biz. Now a 14-year-old teenager, Bindi is out promoting her new role in the upcoming film, "Return to Nim's Island." It's been awhile since Bindi caught the public's attention - and those few short years surly make a big difference!

Bindi is currently in Sydney, Australia to promote her lead role in the straight-to-DVD family movie "Return to Nim's Island" (also starring Matthew Lillard, Toby Wallace and John Waters). In the film, Bindi plays the wildlife-loving castaway Nim (previously portrayed by Abigail Breslin in the original 2008 flick, "Nim's Island).

Since the Crocodile Hunter's passing (Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray while shooting coral reef footage in September, 2006) Bindi has worked on several different television/film projects, including "Free Willy: Escape from Priate's Cove," "My Babysitter's a Vampire," and "The Young and the Restless."

Several fans may remember Bindi's touching speech at her father's memorial service:

Now, the Wildlife Warriors representative is all grown up!

Be sure to check out Bindi's performance in "Return to Nim's Island," out on DVD later this year!
