Forget something? Bindi Irwin surprises crowds as she picks up a dead rat and feeds it to a crocodile without gloves at Australia Zoo

Bindi Irwin is no stranger to getting her hands dirty while working at Australia Zoo.

But on Saturday, the 24-year-old took it to a new level when she picked up a dead rat and fed it to a crocodile – all without wearing any gloves.

Guests were puzzled when the brave daughter of the late Steve ‘The Crocodile Hunter’ Irwin was seen handling the deceased rodent sans protective gear.

Displaying her ever-growing confidence, Bindi appeared in good spirits while entertaining crowds alongside her younger brother Robert.

Bindi was first to take to centre stage, throwing the rodent at the reptile.

Bindi was also pictured feeding the crocodiles seafood from the sidelines.

Dressed in a khaki button-up uniform, Bindi wore her tresses in a high ponytail.

She was all glammed up for the outing, wearing a natural palette of makeup.

It was then Robert’s turn to take over, getting up close and personal with the crocs.

Robert was just two-years-old when his father was killed by a stingray barb to the heart while filming a wildlife documentary on the Great Barrier Reef.

The Irwin family keeps Steve’s memory alive by continuing his conservation work.

‘We’re also very lucky because through all of dad’s amazing documentaries we basically have our life on TV,’ Robert told ET last October.

‘So all we have to do is put the DVD in the DVD player and rewind and press play and we can relive these amazing memories. So we are very, very lucky in that respect.’
