Bindi Irwin’s Daughter Grace Cuddles a Reptile in an Adorable New Photo & Her Face Is Too Cute
Scaly reptiles are kids’ best friends. They can’t help it — if a kid sees a lizard or catches a toad, it’ll make their whole day! And Bindi Irwin’s almost 3-year-old daughter Grace Warrior is exactly the same way. Grace cuddles with a sweet tortoise friend in a new photo with Bindi, and the look on her face is everything!
Tortoise Cuddles
“Tortoise cuddles are the best. ???? #AustraliaZoo” Bindi captioned the sweet photo of the duo dressed in matching khaki and looking absolutely adorable. The Australia Zoo conservationist is kneeling down on the sun-dappled grass and helping Grace hold up a little tortoise. Bindi smiles at her daughter as Grace clutches the turtle’s shell in her tiny hands. Grace’s head is tilted up as she smiles a big, toothy grin and looks back at the reptile from the corner of her eye.
She is so excited, and it almost looks like she can’t believe what’s happening is real. (We would feel the same way, though!)
Grace’s grandma Terri Irwin commented, “I love the happiness.❤”
Another commented, “How did she get so big and cute ????.” Someone else wrote, “OMG! This is just the cutest Bindi! How blessed is Grace to have you for a mom. ????????????”
Favorite Animal
In a May 2022 interview with PEOPLE, there was a picture of Bindi, her husband Chandler Powell, and their daughter Grace next to a giant Tortoise at Australia Zoo. “Tortoises are her favorite,” she told the outlet.
“Grace reminds us daily to find joy in the little things,” she added.
Last April, Bindi shared another update of her, Powell, and Grace admiring two tortoises in mud. “Grace has always adored #tortoises,” the Crikey! It’s the Irwins star wrote on Instagram. “She especially loves visiting them in their spa mud wallow. Swipe for the cutest #flashback. ???? #AustraliaZoo.”
Best Friends
In a previous interview with Entertainment Tonight, Bindi shared that her toddler loves “an Aldabra tortoise” named Igloo. “He’s massive and the cutest. When he sees Grace, he runs across his paddock, which is huge,” she said. “If you’re a tortoise, you can’t really run very fast, but he does his best, runs across the paddock to see her and just sits. She tries to pat him, and she just ends up kind of like hitting him on the head.”
She continued, “They love each other! It’s the funniest thing you’ve ever seen. I love that my daughter’s best friend is a tortoise.”
It looks like Grace is still a tortoise lover, and it couldn’t be cuter!
