Bindi Irwin’s Daughter Grace Makes the Cutest Mini Documentary About Her Tortoise Friend
Crikey, Grace Warrior is cute! Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell’s 3-year-old daughter just made an adorable mini documentary about her tortoise friend that is guaranteed to make you smile. Her grandpa, the late Steve Irwin, would be so proud of this animal-loving toddler!
“Grace is here to tell you about her friend. ????” the Australia Zoo CEO captioned the post about her daughter. In the accompanying video, Grace is cute as a button in a green shirt with white bunnies, white leggings, and sneakers as she crouches on the grass next to a tortoise. She’s not afraid to get close to wildlife, just like her family!
“This flower on the ground,” Grace says in the video, as she points to a red hibiscus flower. “She’s eating it. The tortoise right here,” Grace coaches to the camera, as if she’s leading a wildlife documentary. Bindi says, “Aw!” as she zooms in on the tortoise to show it munching away.
In another shot, Grace mimics the tortoise’s eating by opening and closing her own mouth to demonstrate how the reptile does it. “That’s so cute,” Bindi says with a laugh. She is so precious! “She’s crunching!” Grace explains.
Bindi zooms in on her daughter and asks, “Show me again, what’s tortoise doing?” Grace opens and closes her mouth and making very deliberate smacking sounds, which is spot-on! “This is a tortoise eating a flower,” she repeats, pointing to the tortoise, then to the flower. It’s educational, informative, and entertaining — we could watch The Grace Show all day!
Later, Grace tells viewers, “There’s spiders here in a web.” She points up, and her mom follows with the camera. “Oh, there are spiders, look at that!”
After the quick spider break, Grace goes back to the main star of her documentary: the tortoise. “She said, ‘thank you for my flower,’” Grace tells her mom. In another part of the video, Grace remarks, “She’s a huge tortoise!” (And compared to Grace, she is!)
“Tortoise says, ‘thank you for being my friend,’” Bindi tells her daughter. Grace responds with some more facts. “Tortoises go in land. Turtles go in water,” she says, adding, “Tortoises favorite snack is leaves.” Hearts = melted!
Teaching the world about the magic of wildlife is what the Irwins do, so it’s no surprise that Grace is talented at it too. She knows so much about tortoises, and it’s definitely impressive.
Powell commented on the cute video, “Love a good spider break!????️”
“Well she’s officially my favorite animal expert now! So smart and sweet????,” someone else wrote. Another said, “I want Grace to tell me about all the animals. She’s the cutest little expert ❤️.”
“Steve would be over the moon with Gracie and the natural ability she has with all things nature. You should be so proud Bindi. ❤️,” someone else commented.
Earlier this month, Bindi shared two photos of Grace holding a little turtle in her hands. “Grace’s empathy and kindness towards animals is remarkable,” Bindi captioned the post. “She has the most compassionate heart. ❤️ We love you so much beautiful Grace.”
Bindi has also said that Grace reminds her of her dad. “She reminds me of dad with her personality type,” she told Entertainment Tonight in February. “She is just awing with everything. Her whole soul being is full of passion and enthusiasm and it’s very cute because she’s fiery and fabulous and I love that.”
“If you ask her now what Grandpa Crocodile says,” Bindi added, referring to Grace’s nickname for The Crocodile Hunter, “she either says, ‘Crikey! Danger, danger, danger!’ or, ‘You little beauty.’ She is so funny when she does the full dad enthusiasm.”
What a sweetheart!
