The Crocodile Hunter


Stephen Robert Irwin (22 February 1962 – 4 September 2006), nicknamed "The Crocodile Hunter", was an important Australian television personality, wildlife expert, and conservationist. Irwin achieved worldwide fame from the television series The Crocodile Hunter, an internationally broadcast wildlife documentary series co-hosted with his wife Terri (née Raines). Together, the couple also co-owned and operated Australia Zoo, founded by Irwin's parents in Beerwah, Queensland.

Irwin died on 4 September 2006 after being fatally pierced in the chest by a stingray barb while filming in Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

When I heard Steve Irwin had died, I was on shock!

Poor Stever Irwin . After dealing with crocodiles and poisonous snakes, a stingray barb through the heart is truly a bizarre way to go. Despite some of the negative commentry about Irwin’s animal antics I believe he was truly a hero. Steve Irwin championed the unity of the world of nature and human world and bought it onto the TV screen for young and old alike.

His passion and enthusiasm must surely have been a catalyst to his success, and also an inspiration to many.
