If you thought there was a slight chance that Steve Irwin's death tape would be leaked onto the internet, guess again. Thankfully the last trace of the tape will never see daylight.
Terri recently revealed that the footage of her husband's tragic death has been destroyed. The Oregon native was given the tapes of her late husband's demise last week to prevent it being leaked online in the hands of millions.
To make sure the film is never aired she has had it destroyed. Instead, the last footage fans will see of the "Crocodile Hunter" will be the final wildlife documentary he filmed titled "Ocean's Deadliest."
She said in an interview with Access Hollywood, "There are standard protocols for examining certain evidence and that's no longer necessary, so we're very proud that Steve's last documentary is going to air and that's his last footage with wildlife."
When asked is she had kept the grisly tape, Terri answered, "Oh no, all footage has been destroyed."
Steve died at age 44 last September after being stabbed in the chest by a stingray's poisonous barb while he was filming for "Ocean's Deadliest" off the Great Barrier Reef, in Australia. The documentary will air on January 21.
Meanwhile, Steve's daughter Bindi has appeared on the "Ellen DeGeneres Show." The eight-year-old was a guest on the hugely popular talk show and brought a special friend with her - a blue-tongued lizard.
Speaking to Ellen, Bindi said, "This is Spanky. He's ten. I just love animals. All animals, great or small. My dad really brought it out in me. He's the one that made me. I want to be like my dad. I want him to be proud of me."
Bindi - who has a younger brother, two-year-old Robert, affectionately referred to as Bob by Steve - is to follow in her dad's footsteps and star in a wildlife series for the Discovery Kids network.

Terri, I want you to know how much Steve was and is loved. I looked at him as being my son and I will never accept the fact that he is gone from us.I have been a fan of Steves for ever. I e-mailed him years ago to PLEASE not take so many chances and since you came into his life , he became whole. And then when Bindi came along his life becameeven happier and of course little baby Bob. What a wonderful family. I cant even say his name without crying as Im doing right now. Would it be possible to get a family picture of you Steve and the children to place next to my family pictures? Lillian Nugent 503 77th ave,n St. Pete, Fl 33702 727-278-6713 Thank you so very much Love Lillian I am a great grandma and know how precious my children are, I love you all very much.God has reserved a place for you and your family next to Steve in the future

Steve was a great asset to the animal world. He was all about responsible care of animals. I wish he had of had more time to devote to domestic animals and responsible animal ownership and usage. I feel that sometimes animal rights groups try to ride his coat tails too much. But he will be missed.

Terri, Bindi and Bob,
I know it has bee over a year since Steve passed, I just wanted to let you know that my family watched him and my mother (who passed away in 2004) LOVED to watch him. When she was down she would watch his show and she would have a smile on her face by the end. You and your family do that for so many people. You just like Steve did bring smiles to our faces. I hope and pray that we as your fans can and will bring smiles back to all of your faces! My prayers and thoughts are with you. Remember Steve will live on in you and the kids. He was and is so proud of all three of you!
