At some point, I'm sure we all wished we were born into the legendary Irwin Dynasty. Imagine being the heiress to the Australia Zoo throne, spending your days wearing fantastic two-piece khaki outfits with your awesome family. Sure, in order to live this life, you'd have to abandon the family you've grown up with and deal with the tragic and often parodied (I'm looking at you, South Park) death of your father, but at least you get to hang out with animals all day and be famous! I, for one, want nothing more than to star in my own wildlife documentary programming and continue on the legacy of Steve Irwin, aka The Crocodile Hunter.

Unfortunately, unless your name is Bindi or Robert, that is not the life you lead. Even if you weren't born into an iconic Australian wildlife family, you could still enjoy wildlife in nature and through cute animal memes.
