Bindi Irwin's Daughter Grace Proves She's a Natural at the Family Business With the Cutest Tortoise Commentary
Bindi Irwin‘s daughter is just 3 years old and she’s already pulling her weight in the family business.
In the sweetest video shared by Irwin on Instagram, Grace joined her mom and dad Chandler Powell to teach people about tortoises. The footage begins with the family of three huddled around a giant reptile, and in the most precious little voice, Grace says, “Hello, everyone! This is Igloo.” Irwin and Powell both exclaim an enchanted “awe,” as we all did while watching our screens. The heart-melting effect is instantaneous, and it doesn’t end there.
The video continues with clips of the family patting and hugging the animal, then cuts to footage of Grace saying, “Igloo is a tortoise.” Irwin proudly gushes, “Yes!” She then helps Grace feed Igloo some leaves, telling the toddler, “Igloo says, ‘Thank you for the snack!'”
The footage cuts back to Grace standing beside the tortoise, and she tells the camera, “Igloo is very big.” Irwin bursts into laughter at Grace’s adorable commentary, and Powell encourages their daughter with an agreeable, “Yeah.”
As if the heartstrings weren’t already being pulled, the video then shows archival footage of Irwin around Grace’s age interacting with a tortoise. The clips cut back and forth between past moments with Irwin and present moments with Grace, the two Irwin ladies behaving near-identically by petting and embracing the tortoises. The mom of one captioned the post, “Tortoise cuteness to brighten your day… ???? Sending hugs from #AustraliaZoo.”
Family, friends, and fans adored the video, with Bindi’s mom, Terri Irwin, commenting, “The next generation of Wildlife Warrior.❤️” Fans echoed the sentiment, with one writing, “Absolutely precious! Love seeing Grace grow up at the Zoo that you grew up at. Steve would be so proud of what you have continued.” Another commented, “So precious! Your dad’s legacy will forever live on! What you’re doing is incredible.”
Others wrote about how similar Bindi and Grace’s personalities seem, with one fan commenting, “She is definitely Bindi’s baby. I love this sweet girl.” Another wrote, “This is really like watching bindi grow up all over again!!!!” Someone else agreed, sharing, “It’s like looking back in time at you seeing your little girl.”
Steve Irwin may have tragically passed away nearly 18 years ago, but his legacy will live on well into the future if little Grace’s early passion is any indication.
