BEERWAH, Australia (AP) - The Dalai Lama toured the zoo of late "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin on Wednesday, where he thanked Irwin's family for its dedication to wildlife.
Delicately handling a Burmese python and petting a frisky koala, the spiritual head of the world's Buddhists visited Australia Zoo and addressed a sold-out crowd at its open-air, arena-style "Crocoseum."
The Dalai Lama's visit ended when American-born Terri Irwin, Steve's widow, and their children, Bindi and Bob, came on stage, with Bindi carrying a koala.
