Steve Irwin was born on February 22, 1962, in Essendon, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. He grew up on a wildlife park owned by his parents, where he developed a passion for animals that would define his life's work. Despite lacking a formal scientific degree, Irwin became a world-renowned wildlife expert and entertainer, best known for his TV series The Crocodile Hunter and other nature programs. His upbringing on the wildlife park provided him with a strong foundation in animal care and handling, which he honed under the guidance of his father, who taught him how to catch and manage crocodiles. Irwin's popularity as a TV personality and wildlife enthusiast spawned a range of merchandise tie-ins, making him a household name.
Sadly, on September 4, 2006, During a diving expedition off the coast of Port Douglas in Queensland, Australia, Steve Irwin was filming a documentary titled "Ocean's Deadliest" when he was fatally struck in the chest by a stingray. His remarkable life and career were brought to an abrupt end as a result of the tragic accident.

@stevemason5173العام الماضيThe news of Steve's death was devastating to me. I remember watching him on TV shortly after episodes began to air on television. I kinda envied him id="hidden7" class="buttons"> because he got to experience his love for the wild as I have always admired. My heart went out to his wife and children right away. A "HUGE" loss to animal lovers all over the world. May he always and forever rest in Heavenly peace And may God bless his family for carring on his dreams. An amazing family!!! The end of 2006 was a terrible time in my book. Steve died in September and I was diagnosed with cancer in November of 2006, which I have fought for 17 years. ....وسعت60

@lys_is_meقبل 5 أشهرI still remember that day, a friend at work got a frantic phone call from his best mate saying all of this. He was on the boat in the crew with Steve. id="hidden9" class="buttons"> We spent half an hour questioning if it was a cruel joke before it came over the radio. As someone who worked in the animal industry it was a shock to have this happen but many of us, including himself, knew that he was most likely going to go doing what he loved most. Terry was never the same after this, as you can imagine. But both his kids are so much like him, it's like he is still here. He would be so proud of Rob, they are like twins, especially now that he is grown up. ....وسعت3

@CalopsitaVanderbilt1911العام الماضيTrue wildlife experts, such as Jean-Michel Cousteau, frown upon the idea of hauling exotic animals around in an endless parade of shows and exhibits and id="hidden25" class="buttons"> disturbing animals in their natural habitats. Cousteau stated that Irwin would “interfere with nature, jump on animals, grab them, hold them, and have this very, very spectacular, dramatic way of presenting things. Of course, it goes very well on television. It sells, it appeals to a lot people, but I think it’s very misleading. You don’t touch nature, you just look at it.” ....وسعت32
