Stephen Robert Irwin is one of the popular guys I always watch on TV since I like watching only 3 channels mainly, Discovery Channel, National Geographic and G4 TechTV. Steve Irwin was popularly known as the Crocodile Hunter as he just knows how crocodiles are that he is confident working around them in close proximity but does not limit it to crocodiles alone but with many wild animals as well. One of the memorable episodes I remember was when Steve Irwin would run side by side with a komodo dragon, whose bite is know to have no cure and is simply full of bacterial from rotten food left in spaces in its mouth.

September 4 of 2006 at 11:00 am Queensland, Australia, Steve Irwin was shooting a film to be called The Ocean’s Deadliest in the Batt Reef, part of the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. Steve Irwin died by a stringray striked at Steve Irwin with its barbed tail in the chest.

Steve Irwin was living every life in a level of danger that only he was that knowledgeable and trained enough to face the risk involved. And with his brave work, he has helped many consevationalist, scientist and researchers. He is a true hero and is a big loss in the science world.
