STEVE IRWIN
STEVE IRWIN
1962-2006
Steve Irwin was born on his mother’s 20th birthday in Melbourne, Australia; not long after his parents moved to Queensland to run a wildlife park in Queensland. Irwin grew up around crocodiles, snakes, lizards, koalas and other animals. He was given a pet python on his 6th birthday, when he was 9 he was out catching crocodiles with his dad. They would have to catch crocodiles that wandered too close to towns and homes and would bring them back to the wilderness or to the park.
Irwin got married to an American conservationist Teri Raines in 1992 and they spent their honeymoon in the wilderness. They had two children, Bindi and Robert, who also grew up with the love of animals and conservation. The Irwins started filming their adventures on video which led to making a television series, The Crocodile Hunter (1996) where Irwin became known for his catchphrase ‘Crickey!’.
Every year, Irwin put $1 million into charity that purchased land around Australia for preservation. In 2003, Irwin was filming a documentary in Mexico when he and the crew heard on the radio that two scuba divers went missing in the area. The group suspended filming to search and discovered one of the divers clinging onto a rock ledge on the side of a cliff and he was helped into Irwin’s boat. The other diver, was found dead later that same day.
Irwin died aged 44, on 4 September 2006 when a stingray barb pierced his chest and penetrated his heart which resulted in him bleeding to death. The incident took whilst shooting a documentary on the Great Barrier Reef.
Irwin’s memorial took place on 20 September 2006; at the Australia Zoo ‘Crocoseum’. His daughter Bindi, aged 8, read a eulogy to her father, ‘I have the best daddy in the world and I will miss him every day. Most of all, he was fun. My daddy is my hero.’

Hello @hermes - just wanted to let you know that building a #crocfarm anywhere is horrible, but especially in #australia?! You know, where the #Irwin family lives? Where #steveirwin lives? You know, #thecrocodilehunter (who in fact, was a #conservationist). You know what’s not cute? Killing these gorgeous animals for your overpriced #richpeople bags. I’m about to troll you so hard every day. I promise. #stopthecrocfarm #hermes thank you #crikeymagazine @auatraliazoo @lukereavley for letting me know! https://www.instagram.com/p/CO1NT6bpiKl/?igshid=ktlokor8tlhi

So, the “Gator Repellent” is inspired by the legendary “Batman at Shark Repellent” in the Adam West Batman movie. Also, I should mention that I absolutely LOVED Steve Irwin and the Crocodile Hunter show, so no disrespect is meant here at ALL.

Throwback to grade 4 me. I was super huge into the Croc Hunter (and I fucking miss his soul on this planet too). My Dad legit ordered me a khaki shirt with my name embroidered on it and it was the coolest thing ever. Let's also talk about the first public speaking opportunity I had which was me in khakis with australian animal stuffies explaining animal respect, conservation and the general nature of some.of Australia's well known species. In front of like 200 people. IT WAS WILD. Also I had spiky green hair. AND FANGS. #steveirwin #anotherfavourite #throwbackthursday #australia #thecrocodilehunter #animalplanet #aussies #koalas #kangaroos #shorthairdontcare #publicspeaking #itwasfrightening #khakis #idols #CRIKEY #2003 (at Ottawa, Ontario)

Google Doodle condemned by PETA for celebrating Steve Irwin
Today the signature doodle celebrating Steve Irwin who died after being pierced by a stingray barb, PETA came down hard on the the search engine. Sharing Google's doodle on Twitter, the animal rights organisation accused Google of sending fawning' message regarding Irwin who "was killed while harassing a ray". PETA added that Irwin "dangled his baby while feeding a crocodile," and that he "wrestled wild animals who were minding their own business." Read the full article
