Bindi Irwin, 17, looks confident at DWTS rehearsal... but admits doing the show is 'more terrifying than jumping on top of a crocodile'



By Dailymail.com Reporter

She's been gearing up for the forthcoming season of Dancing With The Stars.
And while Bindi Irwin looked confident at her rehearsal on Thursday, the 17-year-old Australian TV personality recently admitted she is full of nerves about doing the show.
'This is going to be more terrifying than jumping on top of a crocodile,' the daughter of the late Steve Irwin (The Crocodile Hunter) told People.

'Crocodiles, they are very special because they are modern-day dinosaurs. But I've kind of worked with them my whole life, whereas I've never danced before in my life.'
Still, Bindi is extremely excited for her opportunity to be on the 21st season of ABC's dancing competition series.
'I'm used to jumping on top of crocodiles and holding them down to put trackers on them,' the TV personality told People.
'Now, I'm about to be on a dance floor in the middle of a concrete jungle trying my luck and doing the best I possibly can. I'm excited.'

Meanwhile, Bindi was spotted wearing a khaki blouse, skinny jeans, and matching sneakers as she attended DWTS rehearsal in Los Angeles on Thursday.
She was seen waving at onlookers while carrying orange heels in her hand.
The Australian-born wildlife ambassador recently explained why she's been adamant about sticking to her khaki wardrobe.
'We always say khaki is an attitude,' she previously told Good Morning America. 'You can't climb trees that well in a dress!'

The teen, who turned 17 last month, has other big developments in her life as she publicly revealed she is dating 'someone special,' 18-year-old wakeboarder Chandler Powell.
Bindi's father Steve was killed at age 44 by an eight-foot stingray in 2006 while filming an Ocean's Deadliest documentary in north Queensland.
Bindi has since continued her father's conservation work at Australia Zoo in Queensland, where both she and younger brother Robert have dedicated their lives to being 'Wildlife Warriors.'
She has also co-created a book series, Bindi Wildlife Adventures, and has starred in two films and various television shows.

Kwa kawaida wanawake wanafikia kilele (mwisho wa utamu wa ngono) kati ya dakika ishirini na saa moja, yaani kwa kifupi inawachukua muda mrefu sana hali inayopelekea mpenzi mvivu kuchoka na ufanyaji wake utakuwa wa “ovyo” hali itakayo kufanya wewe kuishiwa na hamu ya kuendelea. Pamoja na kuchelewa huko ambako kunatokana na utofauti wetu kati ya mwanaume na mwanamke lakini nakumbuka hapo nyuma nilikutana na wanawake 2 waliokuwa ndani ya ndoa na wamezaa lakini hawajawahi kabisa kujua utamu wa tendo hilo alimaharufu kama “kufanya mapenzi”. Natambua kuwa ni ngumu au niseme si wanawake wote ambao wamejaaliwa kimaumbile kwamba wanafanikiwa kufika kileleni zaidi ya mara mbili kila wanapofanya mapenzi/ngono (kumbuka ni kati ya dakika 15 na saa moja hivyo Jibaba hapa awe na uwezo wa kujizuia kwa zaidi ya dk 45) na ikiwa jamaa ni “mzamiaji” basi unaweza ukaondoka na goli 3 ktk mzunguuko mmoja. Lakini kwa nini basi baadhi yao tu ndio wafike kileleni na wengine was...

Mushikiwabo to UN: Enhance civilian protection

By Eugene Kwibuka Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation has urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to invest more energy in the prevention of conflicts for better protection of civilians living in conflict-torn areas. Rwanda’s Foreign minister, Louise Mushikiwabo Louise Mushikiwabo made the call during an open debate on the protection of civilians in armed conflict which the UNSC held in New York on Tuesday. “Rwanda’s core message today is that enhancing the protection of civilians in armed conflict requires action before a conflict starts. The proliferation of non-state armed groups makes civilian protection both more urgent, and harder to achieve,” she said. For better protection of civilians in armed-conflict areas, the minister emphasised the need to increase investments in professionalising the military and police forces through adequate training. “Only when the leadership of armed forces shares the international...

Saudi King urges U.N. action against religious insults

Saudi King Abdullah urged the United Nations to produce a resolution condemning insults on monotheistic religions after the anti-Islam film in the U.S. that sparked deadly protests in many Muslim countries last month. (AFP) By AFP, MINA/SAUDI ARABIA Saudi King Abdullah on Saturday demanded a U.N. resolution condemning insults on monotheistic religions after a low-budget film produced in the U.S. sparked deadly protests last month. “I demand a U.N. resolution that condemns any country or group that insults religions and prophets,” he said during a meeting at his palace with religious figures and heads of hajj delegations in the Mina valley where pilgrims were performing final rituals of hajj. “It is our duty and that of every Muslim to protect Islam and defend the prophets.” A low-budget film produced in the U.S., Innocence of Muslims, triggered a wave of deadly anti-American violence last month across the Muslim world targeting US symbols ranging ...
