The Irwin family legacy of loving animals is alive in a new generation!

Bindi Irwin, the 25-year-old daughter of the late “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin, praised her daughter Grace Warrior, 3, for her “remarkable” kindness toward animals in an Instagram post shared on April 6.

In the image, Steve’s granddaughter held a baby turtle alongside Bindi and her husband, Chandler Powell, while they each wore Australia Zoo uniforms.

“Grace’s empathy and kindness towards animals is remarkable” Bindi wrote in her caption. ”She has the most compassionate heart. ❤️ We love you so much beautiful Grace.”

The proud parents famously wed at the Australia Zoo in March 2020 before welcoming Grace exactly a year later on March 25, 2021.

In another weekend Instagram post — captioned “The doctor is in!❤️” — Grace could be seen playing veterinarian, using a stethoscope on a plush toy bird.

In a 2023 PEOPLE cover story, Bindi called Grace their “tiny little miracle.”

“For us personally, we feel so lucky to have Grace,” Bindi said while discussing deadling with endometriosis, a reproductive condition in which uterine tissue grows outside of the uterus, causing chronic pain.

“I think that every day I wake up and I look at our beautiful daughter and think she is our tiny little miracle and it makes me cry because we were very, very lucky to have her," she added.

Bindi previously revealed that Grace’s middle names — Warrior Irwin — “are a tribute to my dad and his legacy as the most incredible Wildlife Warrior.” Steve was killed by a stingray in 2006 while filming for TV.
