Steve Irwin died doing what he loved best: getting up close and personal with the wildlife around him. Living in Australia, he was surrounded by larger than life animals that matched his personality.
He told anyone that would listen that he loved the most dangerous of animals and worked for their conservation because he knew that if humans were fearful of them, they would exterminate them. Irwin also love the thrill of going face to face with creatures that could kill him and eat him at a moment's notice. The fact that he died from a fluke swimming incident, crossing over a sting ray whose barbed tail flashed upward into his heart, surprised and saddened the tens of millions of fans that visited his Australian zoos and preserves and watched his many television shows and movies.
Read on for more details about the life and times of the Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin.

Crocs rule! And they're ferocious little beauties, as you'll see when Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin takes you on four wild adventures down under.
Charlie - Charlie, a large aggressive crocodile, has been kept in a concrete pen all of his life. He bears the psychological scars of a crocodile that has grown up in confined conditions. Steve, Terri and their team rescue and relocate Charlie to the Australia Zoo. In his new habitat, Charlie becomes a very unpredictable "naughty" crocodile.
How to Catch a Crocodile - Danger, Danger, Danger! Steve shows some of the different trapping, netting and lassoing techniques he uses to relocate crocodiles in the wild and at Australia Zoo. Aussie Legends - Australia is known for it's vast array of unusual animals. In this adventure we take a look at some of the different species of kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, wombats and possums that can be found nowhere else in the world.
Pacific Northwest - Steve and Terri travel throughout the U.S. Northwest, Terri's home state, a region filled with extraordinary wild animals. While exploring this amazing territory, they help with bison and elk operations and interact with otters, beavers, cougars, snakes and bears.

Steve's Story
This is a good one for learning who this man is. I knew very little about him before his death. He is a real darling and a one of a kind.
• Discussing Dreams
Jump to CommentsMy geography teacher?s name was Mr. Alistair??.or Glass Eye as we would cruelly call him out of ear shot?. due to the fact that he only had one eye. I also sat next close to a girl called Louise whose breasts were the size of the Alps and thus my interest in old Glass Eye?s lessons amounted to bugger all. Therefore I never had any idea of the location of the Cayman Islands until some 20 years ago when I first sailed there on the Holiday. It turned out that these islands were not
• Two-thirds say coverage of Jackson was excessive
A new poll out from the Pew Center says two-thirds of those surveyed thought there was too much coverage of Michael Jackson?s death. The posting includes a list of the people whose deaths were closely watched by the public. Princess Diana tops the list, President Kennedy is second and Steve ?the crocodile hunter? Irwin is third.
• Video: The Best Way to Catch a Marlin Is With a Helicopter and a Chokehold
So there?s this new nature guy, something like a cross between the Crocodile Hunter (but real), Steve Irwin (but a New Zealander? and alive), and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Rowan Gould (but instead of maintaining the delicate balance between our nation?s need for natural resources and our irreplaceable endangered species, he jumps out of helicopters and wrestles tiger-sized fish into submission ). This man, who is all things man to all men, goes by the name of Matt Watson ,
• Steve Irwin, Michael Jackson
When Steve Irwin, the famous crocodile hunter, was killed by a sting ray, 5.5% of the posts on that day in the blogosphere (September 05, 2006) mentioned his name . Yesterday, mentions of ?Michael Jackson? topped out around 3%. Things are heading north from there today ? currently around 8% ? but note that the more immediate statistics come with a higher margin of error due to the lower sample size.
• The importance of leveraging Brand Australia
Australia is top of the pops when it comes to perception. Look at most of the global brand surveys from Anholt to Future Brand. Australia is well regarded as a place to work and play, to visit and to immigrate to, and Australians are well regarded around the world. And when it comes to business, despite what Sol Trujillo tells the BBC, most surveys (from the World Bank and the like) show that Australia is one of the best places to do business in, invest in, visit and live in. But one thing tha

After a 30 year career on radio in markets from New York to San Francisco to satellite and network, David H. Lawrence XVII decided to make a change. He hung up his headphones and retired from hosting 3 network/satellite radio shows to head to Los Angeles, to concentrate solely on acting in front of the camera.
Lili VonSchtupp* needed a fresh start. She moved to Washington DC and got her dream job. "I did affiliate relations for Online Tonight with David Lawrence. I slowly worked my way into the producer's chair by impressing David with my assets. (not those assets), my ability to make a CAT5 cable Ethernet cable, type (those of you in the chat room-shut up!) and work a phone system.
