Living at Australia Zoo comes with its perks — like having huge turtles as friends! — but it's not a free ride, either. Everyone in the Irwin family works hard, including Bindi Irwin's 4-year-old daughter Grace Warrior. The adorable toddler is now 'officially in charge' of one very important job, and the photo evidence is proof she is the right girl for the job!
Bindi's mom (and Grace's 'Bunny') Terri Irwin shared a family selfie on Instagram, with Terri, Bindi, and Bindi's husband Chandler Powell smiling slightly out-of-focus outside. At the front of the photo is Grace, whose big brown eyes are sparkling in focus, with her smiling mouth and rest of her face just out of frame. Everyone is laughing as their little girl snaps the family selfie, and Terri thought it was so cute, she appointed Grace in charge of selfies!

'Grace is officially in charge of selfies!📷💕' the wildlife conservationist captioned the photo. Grace's uncle Robert Irwin, who is a professional photographer, commented, 'And she's doing a great job! 🫡' Bindi also commented on the sweet photo, writing, 'My favourite family photos are the ones that Grace takes 🥰' Aww!
Commenters agreed, with one person sharing, 'Too cute!! Maybe she will give Robert a run for his money with her photography skills 📸' Another wrote, 'She's doing such a good job! Yay Grace Warrior! 📸'
When she's not taking selfies, Grace is learning about another job at Australia Zoo: rehabilitating animals. Bindi shared a video of taking Grace to return Aurora back to the wild.
'Today is an amazing day. We are releasing one of the biggest sea turtles we have ever gotten to the Wildlife Hospital,' Bindi said in a Nov. 2024 YouTube video. 'It's really special because Grace is coming along for this really beautiful release,' Bindi continued. 'Grace actually has spent a lot of time with Aurora, feeding her squid, spending time with her, watching her swimming around in her rehabilitation pool at our Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. So this is a really meaningful, full-circle moment for Grace as well getting to watch Aurora head home again after a long, long time in our care.'
But when it was time for the release, Grace got a little emotional, asking her mom, 'Can I go with her?' It shows how much Grace cares for animals, but it breaks your heart a little too. Bindi explained later that letting an animal go back to the wild is 'exciting and special, but it's also really hard to let go and say goodbye after so long.'
'And for Grace especially. Her emotion as she said goodbye to Aurora was so big, and she's only three,' Bindi added. 'And it's going to make me cry. She got really emotional saying goodbye to Aurora.'
It's bittersweet, but Grace is learning and adapting like a champ. Whether she's taking selfies or saving sea turtles, Grace is going to be running the zoo before we know it!Best of SheKnows
