Who is our Animal Guy now that Jack Hanna has retired?

n the 1960s we had Marlin Perkins...
In the 1970s we had Perkins, Jim Fowler, and Joan Embery
Those two ( Fowler and Embery) carried on into the 80s, but they both retired and eventually Jack Hanna assumed the position as THE "Animal Expert" in the 90s. Along comes this charismatic and manic Aussie named Steve Irwin, who kind of bugged people after a while, but his enthusiasm was infectious. After he died, it was still just Jack Hanna.
Who will take his position? Will it be the Irwin Siblings? I think it's a bit too soon to tell. Bindi is newly married and just got knocked up, and Robert is only 16, although he is doing a good job so far spreading the gospel of animals and environment.
Marlin Perkins
Jim Fowler
Joan Embery
Jack Hanna
Bindi Irwin
Robert Irwin

Perkins was always in the tent drinking martinis with bare breasted natives while Fowler was out wrestling a 16 foot Nile Croc.

Yeah, but poor Jim.
Ole Marlin would be talking about the pride of lions stalking some prey and then he would send Jim down to check it out... "Look at Jim as he is being hugged and licked by the lions. Doesnt he look like he is having fun".
Marlin was a dick. I dont know how Jim didnt get eaten.
