Crikey, welcome to Crocodile country," was the sort of phrase that made Steve Irwin famous. That and the fact that he could wrestle a 12ft crocodile with great bravado in front of a camera.
Today, however, the khaki-clad Australian died after a stingray's barb pierced his chest while filming on location in Queensland. Ironically, the creature was only a few feet long and not usually considered a killer. Irwin, almost six foot, was 44.
For decades, he had taken calculated risks with all sorts of wildlife, relying on his knowledge of animal behaviour and personal experience to beat the odds. But the man who became known as 'The Crocodile Hunter' – after his US TV show of the same name – was more than a showman. He was a pbuttionate conservationist and wildlife advocate.
It all began in Queensland where he was brought up. While his father Bob was officially a plumber, and his mother Lynn a maternity nurse, the family's consuming pbuttion was rescuing local wildlife. In 1970 the hobby became a full-time job when the Irwins opened a reptile park.
Young Steve came to share his parents' obsession with wild creatures, and soon displayed an uncanny rapport with them, able to sense their moods and preferences.
Although he eventually claimed the title 'The Crocodile Hunter', Irwin's methods differed drastically to those of earlier hunters. Rather than ending up as handbags, the crocs bagged by Irwin were later released in a new home deeper in the wild, or at the Irwins' reptile park.
Thank You for reading
