Join Bindi Irwin, Australia's favourite wildlife warrior, on more exciting wildlife adventures that will transport you all around the world.

9. Lost by Jess Black. When a German tourist goes missing in the outback, volunteers are called in to help search Kakadu National Park. Bindi and her Aboriginal friend DJ decide to take a different route when they spot a sulphur-crested cockatoo that seems to want to show them something. The cocky leads them to the grateful tourist but the cockatoo seems to have disappeared. And they need it to help find their way back . . .

10. Monkey Mayhem! by Chris Kunz. At very short notice, the Irwins are called on to run an ecolodge in Madagascar for a fortnight. They arrive to find the place deserted, and realise they have a lot of work to do before a bus load of American tourists arrive. Madagascar is full of the most amazing wildlife - lemurs and chameleons galore - and it doesn't take long before Bindi and Robert are on a hair-raising lemur rescue mission, which is a lot more exciting than sweeping floors and tidying beds at the ecolodge

11. A Giant Rescue by Jess Black. Bindi and her family are in Cambodia working with an elephant conservation group in the wild Mondulkirri jungle. They're helping to find non-violent ways for local villagers to deter elephants from destroying their crops. But not all the locals are on board with the project. Bindi notices a Cambodian teenager who is more interested in encouraging human/elephant conflict than preventing it. What’s really going on? Bindi to the rescue!

12. Mission: Climate Change by Chris Kunz. Bindi, Robert and their Wildlife Warrior pals have been invited to speak at a climate change conference in icy Finland. All the kids are super excited! But when the conference organiser, Professor Tikkanen, mysteriously disappears the night before the conference begins, Bindi and Robert realise they have two missions. One: to find the Professor, and Two: Make the international community aware of how important the issue of climate change is to the next generation!

13. Jail Break! by Jess Black. The Irwins fly down to Cradle Mountain in Tasmania to take part in a fundraising concert to raise money for the endangered Tasmanian devil. After a terrific start, things take a turn for the worse when a self-obsessed celebrity, Adam Starr, causes the real stars of the show to escape. Devils on the loose!

14. Snow Monkey Mischief by Ellie Browne. Visiting a Japanese primatologist friend in Nagano, Japan, Bindi helps her friend Emi by photographing a close-knit group of snow monkeys. Soon, though, her nature photography turns into detective work when the monkeys start to display unusual behaviour and abnormal colouring!

15. Bears Beware! by Jess Black. Bindi flies up to Alaska to see the beautiful Kodiak bear in its natural surrounds. But a chance to see the gorgeous bears is hampered by some ruthless hunters who are more interested in destroying life than preserving it. Bindi and her friend Katrina will stop at nothing to make sure the magnificent bears remain safe, but unfortunately, an earthquake puts in jeopardy both Bindi and the beautiful creatures she's come to see.

16. Rhino Safari by Ellie Browne. Bindi and her family help transport a special rhino from South Africa to a national park in Mozambique. But when a tyre blows out, they realise they are not the only ones interested in the unusual cargo. Bindi and Robert must hatch a plan to outwit some dangerous poachers before it's too late!

A bit more about Bindi

Bindi Sue Irwin (born 24 July 1998 in Nambour, Queensland, Australia) is the daughter of Terri Irwin and Steve Irwin. She is a child celebrity, who has tried her hand at acting, singing, dancing, and rapping. She follows the same conservationist philosophy as her parents. Her first name comes from the name of her father's favourite female crocodile at the Australia Zoo, and her middle name Sue is from the family's dog Sui. Bindi is an Australian Aboriginal word that means little girl according to her father.

Bindi's television career started when she was 2. She appeared regularly in her father's television shows, including The Crocodile Hunter Diaries, and she also appeared in the 2002 Wiggles film, Wiggly Safari. Bindi was the presenter of a 26-part wildlife documentary kids show called Bindi the Jungle Girl. Her father Steve was in many of the early shows before his death in 2006, when production was temporarily put on hold.

Bindi hosted a special about her father called My Daddy the Crocodile Hunter. She also starred in Bindi Kidfitness, a child fitness DVD in which she sang and danced. She made a hip-hop album called Trouble In The Jungle. She is currently learning how to play the piano. She is homeschooled and creative writing is her favourite subject, maths is her least favourite. Bindi commits 10% of her income to Wildlife Warriors, the charity founded by her family in 2002. She starred as Kirra in Free Willy 4: Escape from Pirate's Cove which was released in 2010.
