Jungle Girl Bindi Irwin cheerily posed for a pic with a bronze sculpture depicting her late father, Croc Hunter Steve Irwin, as the rest of his family takes up the work of wrestling crocodiles and presenting wildlife for education and amusement.
A statue of the Irwin family -- including little Bobby, widow Terri and their deceased dog, Sui, -- was unveiled today at the Australia Zoo by the surviving Irwin family and Steve's father, also named Bob. November 15 was named "Steve Irwin Day" at the zoo. Crocs rule!
Bindi also took the opportunity to unveil her wild crimped hairdo.

Little Bob Irwin had a birthday to remember. Bob, made famous by a close call with a crocodile when he was a few months old, was all smiles as family, friends and fans gathered to celebrate.
The son of the late Crocodile Hunter celebrated his third birthday yesterday, his first without daddy. The party, which included rides, face painting and games, was held at Australia Zoo -- where entry was free for children all day.
Little Bob was joined by big sister Bindi and mom Terri as he blew out the candles on a giant Thomas the Tank Engine cake, while a crowd of thousands sang Happy Birthday to the khaki-clad tot.
Steve Irwin was killed when a stingray barb pierced his heart near the Great Barrier Reef on September 4.

In the first public comments by Steve Irwin's family since his death on Monday, his father thanked his son's many fans for their messages of support.
"There's never been anybody else that I know of that had the personality that Steve had, and the strength, and the conviction of what he believed in," his father told a crowd of news cameras, journalists and well-wishers at the gate of the Australia Zoo. "And his message was conservation, and he was such a strong person that people all over the world believed in him."
Irwin, who described his son as his "best mate ever," reiterated the family's wishes not to have a state funeral, as offered by Prime Minister John Howard, saying, "He's just an ordinary bloke and he wants to be remembered as an ordinary bloke."
