Good news for the Irwin family after a few tough months; Bindi Irwin, the eight year old daughter of late Steve Irwin, prepared to star in her own wildlife series for the Discovery Kids network. Bindi said shes psyched for her new show, Bindi, The Jungle Girl.
"Some people think that I would be afraid of them, but I'm never ever afraid of an animal," Bindi said in an interview Monday on ABC's "Australian Story."
"I just get excited and some that are dangerous I just think, 'Oooh! What's going to happen?' and things like that."
The series originally called for Bindi and her father. Despite Papa Irwins death, the show will go on.
The show, now in the early stages of production, was originally "going to be a father-daughter thing," starring the nature-loving duo, Discovery publicist Annie Howell told the Associated Press on Monday. "Steve and Bindi were very enthusiastic about doing the show together."
Irwin will appear with Bindi in scenes filmed before his death, his manager, John Stainton, said in an interview on People magazine's Web site.
I hope things with this work out for her. She is just adorable. I'm not typicaly easy to get all mushy but I couldn't help but to get all teary when she did her speach on the televised memorial service.
BINDI: "I'm going to go on an overnight drunk, and in 10 days I'm going to set out to find the stingray that ate my father and destroy it. Possibly with dynamite. Anyone who wants to tag along is more than welcome."
REPORTERS: "That's an endangered species at best. What would be the scientific purpose of killing it?"

I hope that this turns out to be a healthy thing for her. I see too many ways in which it could turn into a psychological trap. My prayers are with the entire Irwin family.
