Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin’s famed Australia Zoo may be up for sale. The Sydney Daily Telegraph is reporting that this is the main reason behind the falling out between Steve’s father Bob and his widow Terry.
Bob Irwin stepped down from the Australia Zoo amid rumors that Terry Irwin is planning to sell the property to the Animal Planet network and turn the place into a $100 million Disney-style theme park.
Bob released a statement saying that he stepped down from the zoo quit the zoo in order to “keep his son's dream alive.”
A representaive for the Australia Zoo denied claims that Terri was planning to sell the property. Reports claim that American bornTerri wants to sell it and return to the U.S. with her two children.
Terry as also been having her share of legal troubles, including being pursued by debt collection agency Alyssa Treasury Services. Alyssa Treasury is suing Australia Zoo for $2.5 million and Terri Irwin for $60,000 for allegedly failing to pay bills of exchange.
I think that the move may be a good thing for Irwin family. They could do a lot of good with $100 mil and if they move to the U.S. it will be a lot easier for Terry to pimp out little Bindi to do shows for Animal Planet and The Discovery Channel

Steve Irwin's Family Falling Apart
Sunday Herald Sun is reporting that Bob Irwin (father of Steve Irwin) is no longer affiliated with the Australian Zoo. Bob thanks zoo staff, Animal Hospital workers, Wildlife Warriors and "all of Steve's friends out there" -- but there was no mention of Terri, Steve’s widow, who has growing control of Steve's empire, and is the mother of his grandchildren Bindi and Bob.
There have been rumors circulating of a rift in the Irwin family for months -- including disagreements on treatment of staff and the commercial direction of the Australian Zoo.

Bindi Irwin Is No Doll Face
Bindi Irwin, daughter of the late Steve Irwin, unveiled her new toy line at FAO Schwarz in NYC on Monday. Since Bindi is into conservation, I wonder if the toys are made of bio-degradeable plastic.
I don't know what it isabout this kid, but she really gives me the creeps!
