"Mom managed to raise two little kids as well as taking care of Australia Zoo and making sure it kept running, making sure Dad's legacy continued on, keeping up with all of our conservation work on a global scale.

She's such a strong superwoman," Bindi reveals in an interview with People. “I Don't Know How She Did It,” Bindi says View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bindi Irwin (@bindisueirwin) Steve died on the job while filming an underwater film titled Ocean's Deadliest, where he was diving with stingrays and got stung on the chest.
