She's hoping to take a bite outta the competition!

Bindi Irwin was just announced as the first contestant on Dancing with the Stars' 21st season.

"This is completely different to anything I have ever done in my life," said 17-year-old Irwin. "I am used to wrangling crocodiles."

"I actually just got back from our annual crocodile research trip," she said. "About four days ago I was in far north Queensland catching crocs and now here I am in New York City, about to be in LA."

Irwin, who was 8-years-old when her father died in a stingray attack, will relocate to Los Angeles temporarily.

"I just hope my dance partner, whoever it is, is very patient and likes animals, because you never know what I’m going to bring to rehearsal," she added.
