She is familiar to many as the gap-toothed, pig-tailed young star of Bindi the Jungle Girl.
But these pictures reveal just how much the daughter of the late Steve Irwin has grown up, as she celebrated her 15th birthday at her family's Australia Zoo in Queensland.
With her blonde hair in a neat ponytail, and sporting the same khaki shirt and shorts combo favoured by her famous father, the actress and conservationist beamed for the cameras at the bash.

The teenage animal-lover, who celebrated with her mother Terri and younger brother Bob at the tourist-packed park, is well on her way to becoming as well-known as her father, who died in 2006 after being pierced by a stingray barb while filming an underwater documentary.
Bindi - who has vowed to continue his legacy -was just eight-years-old at the time of the tragedy.
Already an accomplished wildlife conservationist, the 15-year-old has been appearing on television screens since the age of two.
