The Irwin family continues to manage Australia Zoo in Queensland. Bindi expressed gratitude for her father's lasting impact and referred to him as the family's 'guardian angel'. Steve's wife, Terri Irwin, also shared a memory of Steve discussing Bindi's birth and how it inspired her name, while Robert Irwin posted a tribute highlighting his father's enduring legacy.
