Crikey! . . .

I have been watching the Crocodile Hunter for many years. I loved Animal Planet before it was very popular, and Steve Irwin was my favorite. Over the years I have tired of his show, but I still think he was a wonderful man. It's unfortunate that he died doing something that is done by tourists and was not alltogether that dangerous. . .

SYDNEY: Steve Irwin, the ebullient Australian TV personality and conservationist known as the Crocodile Hunter, was killed by a stingray barb to the heart during a diving expedition, police and his wildlife park said.

The world has lost a great wildlife icon, a passionate conservationist and one of the proudest dads on the planet," John Stainton, Irwin's friend and producer who was on board Croc One said in the statement. "He died doing what he loves best and left this world in a happy and peaceful state of mind" he said.

Rest in Peace Steve.

I was sad to hear this. My son really liked his show and he made Michael really enjoy science.
