Bindi Irwin Wrestles Gigantic Crocodile In Instagram Video
Daughter of the late Steve Irwin, Bindi Irwin shared a video of herself wrestling a crocodile this weekend, demonstrating that she’s continuing her dad’s honourable conservation work.
Explaining that the 15 feet 1.5 inches crocodile - Big Dunc - is one of 146 that the Australia Zoo’s “Croc Team” are tracking in the Wenlock river, Bindi revealed that the technique used by her team to catch and tag the crocodiles was pioneered by her dad.

CRIKEY! Check out Big Dunc on the #CrocTrip2016 🐊🌿 Our highly experienced @AustraliaZoo Croc Team uses the very same capture techniques that Dad developed so many years ago. Our team leader, Toby Millyard was trained by Dad himself and continues to help us carry on in his footsteps. We truly have the most elite team when it comes to catching crocs and we all share the passion of protecting crocodiles as well as educating others. These techniques have allowed us to safely capture crocs such as Big Dunc. Big Dunc is a whopping 15 feet 1.5 inches of sheer power. He is currently the largest crocodile we are tracking in the Wenlock River. This is the third time Big Dunc has decided to stop by for a free meal and to say g’day to our team. Somehow he manages to seem bigger and bigger with each visit. Big Dunc is just one of the 146 (and counting) crocodiles we are currently tracking throughout the Wenlock River.
To mark the tenth anniversary of his death, Bindi yesterday shared a touching throwback photo of herself and her father:
You’ll be my hero for my entire existence. I love you more than words can describe.
Steve Irwin was killed on the 4th September, 2006, after being pierced in the chest by a stingray.
