Teen actress and Unicef goodwill ambassador Millie Bobby Brown met up with the late “Crocodile Hunter” star Steve Irwin’s kids, Bindi and Robert, and was introduced to animals that she “never thought” she’d see when she visited Australia recently.

“Wow,” the “Stranger Things” star gushed on Instagram, where she posted photos of her meeting with the young TV personalities, taken at the Australia Zoo. “[It’s] the most magical day with these special souls.”

Bindi and Robert followed in their father’s footsteps and are now wildlife enthusiasts with their own Animal Planet show, “Crikey! It’s the Irwins.”

Brown expressed her gratitude for a memorable visit, which let her meet animals—including a giraffe and a snake—up close: “Thank you so much for what you do for the world. Animals at your zoo receive love and care every single day with your loving keepers. And thank you for letting [me] come visit the zoo and see animals that [I] never thought I’d see. Best day ever.”

Bindi, on her page, shared one of the photos and wrote, “Thank you for visiting today, beautiful @milliebobbybrown. You are a light in this world. Keep shining.”

The third season of “Stranger Things” is set for July, while “Crikey! It’s the Irwins” will return later this year for a second season. —OLIVER PULUMBARIT
