Bindi Irwin: Wild Child

Just three months since the death of her father, Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter's eight-year-old daughter, Bindi, says she's "...doing pretty good. We're battlin' on."

In an interview with "Good Morning America," the ever-adorable Bindi, with mom Terri at her side, revealed that snakes are her favorite animal. "They're really nice creatures once you get to know them." We'll take your word for it, Bin.

As for critics who think that Bindi is too young to be around wildlife, Terri says that the pigtailed princess would rather ride elephants than be cooped up in suburbia. The thought of living in an apartment with a goldfish made Bindi chime in, "I don't think I could cope." No Nemo fan, she.

Bindi, who called Steve "the best dad in the world," is continuing her father's work by bringing her animal-loving tour to the U.S. next month. Hannah Montana, watch out!

196. Hey no one special. She will end up dead like her father, because she thinks
she can take his place. This whole family is too darn creepy for me.

197. LEAVE TEEKS ALONE. HE HAS THE RIGHT TO HIS OWN OPINION. EVERYBODY DIDN'T LIKE STEVE E. I DIDN'T CARE FOR HIM. HE DID CRAZY STUFF, AND GOT KILLED. HE EVEN PUT HIS LITTLE BABY DOWN BY A GATOR. SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER MICHAEL JACKSON.
AS FOR HIS DAUGHTER, SHE CAN'T HELP THAT SHE IS A HOMELY LITTLE GIRL. HER MOM IS CRAZY FOR LETTING HER THINK OF DOING STUNTS, LIKE HER DAD DID. NO DISREPECT, BUT THE MOM IS CRAZY AS A BAT. IF I LOST MY MATE, LIKE SHE DID, I WOULD HATE THE WATER. I WOULDNT LET MY CHILD THINK ABOUT DOING AND STUNTS.

198. Bindi is a beautiful, articulate, and seems to be both a loving and lovable little girl. Every time I see her I think about what MY children would be able to say, see and do if something happenned to one of their parents (which could happen as my husband works in law enforcement). I think she is just extraordinary.

Any of you adults (??) small enough to criticize a child for ANYTHING are simply trying to punish someone else for your own faults. Shame on you.

I commend Terri Irwin, and Steve, for allowing their children to share in the beauty of thier lives, their thoughts, and their experiences. God bless...

200. You are a good strong family.We love you & pray for you. These idiots here are missing something somewhere. Why would you even write ANYTHING like that to people that just lost their husband & father. Terri & Bindi you are the greatest. Merry Chritmas, I know it will be a hard one this year. But we love you.

201. Dear Bindi: If you want to play with fire, sooner or later you're gonna get burned

202. Tekks Binbi is a beautiful and lovely child.I think you may need to look in a mirra yourself and keep your thoughts like that to your self.That was ugly for you to say that about a child.

Binbi you keep up the good work and yes your Daddy is smiling from ear to ear for the work you and your mom are doing.More people need to be like you and the world would be a better place.

203. Wow!

What a perfect example for children!

Bindi Irwin---

Her mother wasn't out clubbing and whoring herself for cameras
Her mother didnt require nannies to accommodate her nail and hair appointments
She doesn't need plastic surgery to compensate for her lack of self esteem.

Yet, Terri Irwin is a proven tremendous mother. Her children are intelligent, classy, witty, and adorable.

204. I never knew that much about the Crock-hunter , I thought well, somebody has to have the balls to show what I sit in front of the "dangerious" TV and watch:) But since his death, I watch his little girl handle life in front of the world like she has born for fame.I think it is heart braking to see a real man who was into being with hie wife and kids , and hard working . Sadly most women Have a good husband or good kids not both at the same time! He died way before his time , But his wife and kids will keep his legacy going on, so much for sorrow and morning, this man celibrated life, and when I start thinking I have it so "hard" I would stop and think I would like my life to remembered as worth something real.......Peace and Love ")

205. That's actually not true. I saw Terri Irwin at Hyde last nite with Paris and Britney---and there is nothing wrong with having a Nanny to keep a mother sane-- it's ppl like you who probably also talk about mothers "letting themselves go" after children, but also expect them to be with their kids 24/7.

So, Nick STFU-- no mother or father is perfect, and not going out to niteclubs certainly doesn't make a parent perfect or imperfect- get a clue.

206. #198- so you saw Terri at Hyde? How stupid do you think we are to believe that? Couldn't you make a point without fabricating something?? You are one ignorant bitch. Do yourself and any future kids you may have a favor and get a tubal. It's obvious what kind of sh*tty mother you'd be.

208. One cannot tell what the butterfly is going to look like by looking at the caterpillar. Back off and let the child grow up in her own way and give her mom the strength to properly raise her and little Baby Bob.

209. anyone who would take the time to say horrible things about a child, particularly one who lost her father at such a young age is truly a piece of sh*t who isn't worth the f*** it took to bring them into this world. these are VERY disturbed people who probably torture animals or molest kids when they're not in front of their computers.
