Rest In Peace STEVE IRWIN - the crocodile hunter -

in wildlife •  8 years ago 

Today is 10 years Steve already gone , Steve the crocodile hunter one of my favourite show during my teenager time .

Steve daring stunts in catching crocs and others venom creatures always make me nervous and scared . He always tame those wild crocs he catch like his own pet , He once said at NBC show he has dealt with crocodile since he was kid , and he know how to handle this creature professionally and way to catch them without hurting the crocs , himself and people around him .
Do you know he named his children using crocodile name , and he even got a new species turtle name using his name Irwin's turtle
In 1997 , while he fishing with his dad in Queensland coast Australia , he found a new species turtle and named the turtle after him .


The turtle shell look like sea turtle , and his face pretty much look like softshell turtle .
Maybe this turtles were drunk on the other day and accidently got into the wrong couple :p
The day when Steve Irwin left all of us , Irwin died on 4 September 2006 after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb while filming an underwater documentary film titled Ocean's Deadliest . Crocs never do any harm to with but stingray does . The news were broadcast worldwide , and I remember when I see the news I just got back from school . I'm was shock like hell , why he doing such thing he not a man of ocean , he don't belong in the ocean.

Fun facts about Steve Irwin

As we can notice Steve and his wife never wear any wedding ring even though their are happily married . Because he (Steve) believe wearing a jewelry can pose a hazard to wild animals.

Rest In Peace STEVE IRWIN

I knew Steve. The Australia Zoo is only a 30 minute drive from my house. He was an unremarkable guy with a remarkable enthusiasm and passion for animals. The hardest worker you'd ever meet. Not many could keep up with him. I goes to show you don't have to have be the smartest guy to be successful you just need to be able to get others enthusiastic about your passion.

Before Bear grylls and few others "wildlife" show and survival this guys Irwin the first man who make an idea to this documentary .
His enthusiasm and passion to animal really unremarkable , while he working he never wear any jewelry even tho he are happily married men .

Interesting... He gave me some hope that one day a serious passion for animals could pay off. Now, steemit is making that a reality for me. I did a post about grabbing a snapping turtle by the throat earlier, and it is almost to $350!!!
I didn't even know it was the 10 year anniversary. I think I'll get bit in the face by a snake tomorrow as my poor attempt at a tribute video.

It must have been neat to know him.

the haloween after his death was crazy. I swear one out of every 20 guys were dessed up as steve Irwin with a bloody sting ray wound. he was a badass tho, still to this day I got to bust out the crocodile hunter voice and lines when sneeking around at night.
"crikey, look at the size of that one, we got a beauty"
"calm down mate, not gona hurt ya"

I know its wrong but I have to do it.

The Aussie sun kills many thousands more than wildlife in Australia

Time really fly , all his daring stunts still fresh in my head tho . And all those meme above quite hilarious :p , only the sunblock not really funny.

Completely agreed.
