And the cutest part? Grace mistakenly calls her uncle “Grandpa Crocodile,” the nickname she uses for Steve, who was also known as the “Crocodile Hunter.” Terri noted the strong resemblance between Robert and Steve, and described her granddaughter’s notice of that resemblance “really special.”

Although her father died when she was just a young girl, Bindi spoke about what she learned about parenting from both of her parents while at Saturday’s gala honoring Steve’s legacy.

“The best thing our parents ever did for us was be there for us, no matter what was happening in the world, with our conservation work. Mom and Dad were there for Robert and me 100% of the time,” Bindi told the crowd at the event.
