Showing off the Bindi’s Island ringtail lemurs at Australia Zoo, she introduces the video clip as a moment where her dad “got to experience lemurs in the wild of Madagascar”.

The rare footage depicts Steve crouching on a dirt track, “Oh look, let’s slide across this way,” he passionately gestures to the camera.

Panning across, the camera shows off a group of lemurs that have congregated near Steve.

Showing off his cheeky side, Steve then says, “We might just sit here and have a bit of a sun bake, I think.”

He then moves to sit on the ground with them as the two male lemurs wander around him cautiously.

Basking in the sunlight with the animals, the beloved conservationist let’s out a relaxed sigh as he looks at the Madagascan animals lovingly.

Eventually, the lemurs decide to scamper off with the Irwin father asking them, “Hey boys! Where are you going?”
