Crocodile Hunter

The Crocodile Hunter, aka Steve Irwin, has to be the craziest man on Earth. In any given episode, you'll see him trapping pissed off crocs, holding highly venomous snakes by the tail as he points out their colorations, or just feeding the inhabitants of the Queensland Zoo by dangling a chicken leg inches from their tooth filled maws.

Half of the show's appeal is the knowledge he displays with each animal he finds, explaining everything he knows about them to the camera. The other half is watching as he stares down some creature, hoping this is the time he gets bitten or eaten, knowing that if it happens, his last words will be, "Crickey! Keep the camera rolling, and...." The best moments so far have been the numerous close calls, from crocs attacking the camera, to being sprayed down by spitting cobras. More interactive than any given National Geographic special, he risks life and limb each episode, all because he loves his job so much. In my opinion, this show is better than some unknown dude sitting half a mile away watching a lion eat a zebra. You know Steve would be kneeling a few yards away, smiling to the camera. That's why he's the best host on any nature show. I rate this show 8/10, and I'll keep watching until the day he gets too close.

The Crocodile Hunter is Steve Irwin, who spent his formative years relocating rogue crocodiles and roaming the outback of Australia. He runs a zoo with his wife Terry where he is as much of an attraction as the animals. He combines an outgoing and typically direct Aussie personality with a fearlessness that continually has me thinking, "I don't believe he just did that". One minute he's capturing a crocodile by jumping onto it's back with several of his "mates", the next he's picking up the third most venomous snake in the world BY THE TAIL. Add to that the rich "Down Under" slang and you have a unique show. Entertaining and funny while showing you things about wildlife you'd never see in a typical nature show.

I must say, this guy had it all with animals. My eldest son, who's now is 11, loves Steve so much and wish to work with him one day. but because of this day my two son (11 and 9) are now very emotional upset over the death of Steve. As my eldest son was too also a love of reptiles animals and so on fourth. His interested all started when he was only 3 years old. He would walk around with big blue tongeslizard on each shoulders and patting it with confidence. He just an image of Steve in a lot of ways. But because of this happened to Steve and his death has hit hard on the boys as they wanted to meet him at the gold coast one day as i was intended to take them with me to see him.

Well I wish to give my sympathy to the Irwinn's family, his wife and dearest loved children. Who will suffer at great loss to their dad their "hero" that will remained lived forever.

I felt to write this, as due not knowing where i could send a email to the Irwinn's in direct as the boys wanted very much to say sorry and hope that the wonderful memories is shared of him forever.

thanks guys and the work of Steve series and others has been amazing experience and taught us to enjoyed the thing's in life what you do best and loved most of all.

If you are interested in animals, I implore you to watch this show. The hosts, Australin Steve Irwin and his American wife, Terri have such an intensity and passion about animals and animal conservation that even reptiles like snakes, previously though of as scary and slimy, really do seem slightly 'gorgeous'! They really are amazing people and a credit to the animal-loving society, if you love animals you'll love this show.

The first time I watched "Crocodile Hunter", Steve was in the jungles looking at elephants up close. The elephant noticed him and she started to run after Steve. He made it out ok, but damn was that ever entertaining!!! He knows how to make people sit up on their seats. And later on in that episode he climbs up a tree to get a snake. While he's up there hanging on for his dear life he breaks off the branch with the snake on it, the snake was venemous but he didn't care he brought it down to show it to us. This show, after one episode left me amazed.

I was sad to see this show never won any awards because this is the most entertaining show on television. He risks his life in every episode for us. It makes you laugh so hard you'll pee your pants or it'll leave amazed that you can't wait until the next show. Steve and Terri are the greatest people in showbiz!
