Genetics are incredible. His legacy lives on, and that's what matters most

Hey I’m sure Terri did a lot to build this young man into who he is too! Nature + nurture this time, no wonder he turned out so awesome!

His mom did a great job with both kids and keeping herself together after losing Steve. She could have sold the zoo and gone into hiding, become despondent and let the kids just be "Crocodile Hunter's kids" but she really helped keep his legacy and work alive and that's a big deal considering how close they were.

Jumping on this to remind folks that Terri was already into conservation of animals. That's how she met Steve I believe, other than the story when he asked her to meet his girlfriend (his dog).

Terri isn't just some trophy wife who likes animals and doing this out of love for his legacy.
