Irwin, who was famous for his Animal Planet show Crocodile Hunter, died 10 years ago after he was stung by a stingray. He left behind an important legacy for animal-lovers and conservationists, including his daughter, Bindi Irwin, who paid him a sweet tribute on Instagram to celebrate Steve Irwin Day.
Bindi posted a snap that showed her late dad dressed in his signature all-khaki uniform, holding her as a khaki-clad tot at the Australia Zoo.

“Since it’s November 15th in Australia I wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Steve Irwin day,” Hough wrote. “I was always a fan of his passion and love for the world. His legacy lives on. It was such an honor and privilege to get to know and work with his beautiful daughter. Such a special soul. Choreographing and creating with her, helping to tell her story will always be a highlight in my career. This image was taken at the end of our final dance which was a tribute to her super hero. Her Dad. Steve Irwin.”
