Crocodile Hunter To Follow Father's Foot-Steps

Steve Irwin's son wants his own show 2 years after the freak accident that caused his death. His son Bob, now 4, is hoping for his own television show, reports the New York Post. The paper quotes Irwin’s widow, Terri, vouching for Bob, saying, “He’s a little Steve clone.”

And, in a segment of a popular Australian newsmagazine “60 Minutes” this week, Bob is seen taking after Dad, wrestling a crocodile, cradling reptiles and filming a potential TV pilot.
“I’m Mr. Independence,” Bob says during the spot, refusing help from sister Bindi, 10, who has her own show on Discovery Kids channel, her own fashion line, and has a doll of her own likeness. Terri Irwin reportedly reiterates that her children have “normal” lives in the “60 Minutes” piece.
