About Me

Stephen Robert "Steve" Irwin (February 22, 1962 – September 4, 2006) was an Australian naturalist and television personality. He was best known for his titular role in the television program The Crocodile Hunter, an unconventional wildlife documentary series he hosted with his wife Terri. He also owned and operated the Australia Zoo at Beerwah in Queensland and fronted several conservation efforts
Steve married, in 1992, to Terri Raines from Eugene, Oregon in the United States. The pair had met a few months earlier when Terri had visited the zoo on a holiday. Together they had two children: a daughter, Bindi Sue Irwin (born 24 July 1998), and a son, Robert Clarence "Bob" Irwin (born 1 December 2003). Bindi Sue is jointly named after two of Steve's favorite animals: Bindi (a saltwater crocodile) and Sui (dog), who died in June 2004.
Irwin was as enthusiastic about his family as he was about his work. He once described his daughter Bindi as "the reason he was put on the Earth". His wife Terri once said, "The only thing that could ever keep him away from the animals he loves are the people he loves even more

Terri Irwin Interview

I'd like to meet:


Shortly after 11:00am local time on 3 September 2006, Irwin was fatally pierced in the chest by a stingray barb while diving in Queensland's Batt Reef, which is part of the Great Barrier Reef. The events were caught on camera and the footage is now in the possession of Queensland Police.Irwin was in the area filming his own documentary, to be called The Ocean's Deadliest, but weather had stalled filming. Irwin decided to take the opportunity to film some shallow water shots for a segment in the television program his daughter Bindi was hosting.After reviewing the footage of the incident and speaking to the cameraman who recorded it, marine documentary filmmaker and former spearfishing champion Ben Cropp speculated that the stingray "felt threatened because Steve was alongside and there was the cameraman ahead..." In such a case, the animal responds by automatically flexing the serrated barb on its tail, which is up to 30 centimeters (roughly 12 inches) in length, upward. In this case, the motion struck Irwin's chest and pierced his heart.Crewmembers aboard his boat called emergency services in the nearest city of Cairns and administered CPR as they rushed the boat to nearby Low Isle to meet a rescue helicopter. Medical staff pronounced Irwin dead when they arrived a short time later.


A report in the Times has shown that people are setting up false websites for donations to steve irwins charitys.
"Mr Hornby added that fraudsters appeared to be attempting to capitalise on Mr Irwin's death by setting up bogus websites which sought to divert some of the money being donated to Mr Irwin’s charities following his death."
"There are leeches around the planet, and we are fearful that more are going to come up," said Mr Hornby."
"We want people to make sure they donate only to wildlifewarriors.org.au or through the US Discovery Channel, the Crikey Fund."
please only donate to steves charity Wild life warriors and the discovery channel's crikey fund and not any unoffical ones Thank You
