I was so shocked when I saw the news on TV today. The famous "Crocodile Hunter", wildlife documentary presenter and naturalist, Steve Irwin, passed away today, after being attacked by a stingray barb.article found here
Australia stunned by death of "modern-day Noah"
When I first started watching Animal Planet on cable TV, Steve Irwin left a deep impression on me, because he's always so full of energy, enthusiasm and passion when wrestling with crocodiles or tracking down poisonous snakes. Although I didn't particularly like him as sometimes he seemed a bit irritating, especially with the "baby baiting incident", he's nonetheless very inspiring and fun to watch. His excitement when spotting the crocodiles, his exclamations of love for them, his adventurous and daring expeditions and his effort in conservation left me in awe.
Ironically, he wasn't killed by a croc... But at least he died while doing something he really loved..
I think Steve Irwin will always be remembered as the "Crocodile Hunter", and may he be a great inspiration to his fellow naturalists and conservationists.
