Sydney - Bindi Irwin, eight-year-old daughter of the late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, looks set to reunite with her father - at least on film.
Bindi has resumed filming her own wildlife series, six weeks after the shocking death of her famous dad.
And her series has plans to bring them back together, with the possible inclusion of scenes featuring Bindi and Irwin filmed before his death, his manager, John Stainton, revealed in an interview on People magazine's website.
Although her conservationist father was killed in a freak stingray attack while diving on Australia's Great Barrier Reef on September 4, Bindi told the Australian Broadcasting Company she had no fear of dangerous animals.
Not afraid of animals
"Some people think that I would be afraid of them, but I'm never, ever afraid of an animal," she said while on location filming Bindi the Jungle Girl, a series for the American Discovery Channel.
"I just get excited and (with) some that are dangerous I just think, 'Oooh! What's going to happen?' and things like that," she said.
Bindi Irwin shot to international prominence after she offered a moving eulogy to her dad at an emotional September 20 public memorial service at his beloved Australia Zoo in Queensland state.
Speaking for the first time since Irwin's service, Bindi urged people not to be afraid of animals as they were "put on this earth to help the environment".
