Meet Steve IrwinSteve Irwin is the best-known wildlife crusader in the world today. As the Crocodile Hunter, Steve has become a household name and his television adventures are seen by more than 200 million viewers in 120 countries around the globe. He's starred in his first movie for the big screen, The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course, and has also appeared on such popular television talk shows as Regis and Kelly, Conan O'Brien, The Tonight Show, Larry King Live and Oprah. Despite his high international profile, Steve's commitment to wildlife remains paramount.His passion to protect the world's most endangered and threatened species can be traced back to his parents, conservationists and animal lovers Bob and Lyn Irwin, the founders of Australia Zoo. As a young boy, Steve helped Bob rescue and relocate crocodiles in the rivers of North Queensland. The father-and-son team are proud to say that over 100 crocodiles living at Australia Zoo were either caught by them or bred and raised in the zoo.In his 20s, Steve volunteered his services to the Queensland government's rogue crocodile relocation program, for years living alone in the mosquito-infested creeks, rivers and mangroves of North Queensland, apprehending huge troublesome crocodiles single-handedly and achieving a staggeringly successful catch rate.In 1992, Steve and his friend, television producer John Stainton, created a distinctive new style of wildlife documentary. That one-hour program, The Crocodile Hunter, featured Steve, his new wife, American wildlife caretaker Terri Raines, and the animals of Far North Queensland. Steve's boisterous charm, unconventional style and extraordinary daring, combined with Terri's wit and composure in dangerous situations and their amazingly close encounters with such potentially deadly creatures as crocodiles, venomous snakes and spiders, have seen The Crocodile Hunter became a worldwide hit.In addition to The Crocodile Hunter series, Steve and Terri have filmed 53 episodes of the Emmy Award-nominated Croc Files, various one-off specials for NBC and an intimate new series, The Crocodile Hunter Diaries, a behind-the-scenes look at Steve's daily life at Australia Zoo.As testimony to their commitment to conservation and the environment, Steve and Terri have purchased over 60,000 acres of wildlife-sensitive land and are working towards the rehabilitation and breeding of some of the world's most endangered animals. At Australia Zoo, they have established a breeding program to help such endangered species as the southern cassowary, koala, giant land tortoise, Fijian crested iguana and Komodo dragon, to name just a few. The zoo, a dedicated conservation area covering over 250 acres, earned Australia's most prestigious tourism award as "Major Tourist Attraction" for 2003.Steve was recently awarded the title "2004 Queensland Australian of the Year."Meet Terri IrwinTerri Irwin was born in Eugene, Ore., in 1965. Growing up, Terri was exposed to numerous animals thanks to her father, who would pick up injured animals along the highway as he came upon them. He helped to instill in Terri a commitment to saving and rehabilitating wildlife.In 1986 Terri started a rehabilitation facility — Cougar County — to re-educate and release predatory mammals such as cougar, fox, raccoon, bear and bobcat. Cougar County handled up to 300 animals a year. In 1989 Terri joined a veterinary hospital as a vet technician while still running Cougar County — and looking after her own menagerie of 15 cats, several birds and a dog. For Terri, wildlife always came first.In 1991 Terri visited Australia and spent a lot of time touring the various zoos and wildlife facilities. A chance meeting with a man doing a crocodile demonstration at the Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park changed her life forever. After a whirlwind courtship, Terri became Mrs. Steve Irwin in 1992; their honeymoon was spent on location, filming their first wildlife documentary. Terri quickly adapted to her new role beside Steve at Australia Zoo, feeding and caring for their hundreds of animals and accompanying him on his wildlife adventures. Terri gave birth to their first daughter, Bindi Sue, in 1998, and Bindi is already following in her parents' footsteps. The newest addition to the family arrived in late 2003, their first boy, Robert (Bob) Clarence.Meet Bindi Sue IrwinBindi Irwin was born in 1998 to Steve and Terri Irwin. Living on the grounds of Australia Zoo has meant that Bindi has grown up surrounded by animals. She is quickly following in her mum and dad's footsteps and is already teaching others to respect her animal friends. Bindi's favorite animals are spiders and snakes. .. width="425" height="350" .. .. width="425" height="350" ..
