Unhappy Croc Hunter Steve Irwin

Croc Hunter Steve Irwin killed when he was atop a stingray filming an ocean expedition on stingrays . A few years back i use to watch all the episodes he would crack me up and was full of energy,I'm r sorry to hear this happen. To be honest i though one day his death would be in the news not for stinrays but r being killed by a croc.

Huge loss for australia and everyone who loved watching his shows. I know I enjoyed watching him do his thing.

His wife is hiking in Tazmania....she won't even know till tomorrow is what CNN said.
He was awesome.
He gave every bit of money his movie made (and yes, it made money) to his zoo and to foundations. If everyone was dedicated to their job as he was, the world be so much better. He may have seemed crazy to us, but there is a greater chance of getting killed in a car than by a croc.
He will be missed world wide.

what he did with with the crocs was crazy to some may have seemed crazy but he followed his dad footsteps, he was born and raised in that enviroment. I think he didnt have this same exp when he decided to travel deep in the waters,IMHO he was out of his enviroment. Justin i didn't know his wife wasn't aware yet ..
