The series was produced and shot in Queensland by The Best Picture Show Company for Discovery Kids and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
The series aired from 9 June 2007 until 20 December 2008 on American networks Discovery Kids and simulcast on Animal Planet and on ABC1 in Australia from 18 July 2007.
The series also features Bindi's mother Terri, her younger brother Robert, and Steve Irwin's "best mate" and director of Australia Zoo, Wes Mannion.
The second series was produced after his death, but he appears in archive footage in a segment named "Croc Hunter Unplugged", generally spoken of transcendentally in the present tense.
The complete series has been released by ABC (Australia) on PAL Region 4 DVD.
