Steve Irwin BIO »Stephen Robert Irwin (22 February 1962 – 4 September 2006) most commonly known as Steve Irwin, was the owner and manager of the Australia Zoo at Beerwah, Queensland, Australia. He was best known for the unconventional nature documentary series The Crocodile Hunter. hide To say that I’ve got millions in the bank, mate, would be a load of crap. Of course I’ve made money, but it’s all gone back into wildlife welfare. I don’t keep it. I've been put on this planet to protect wildlife and wildnerness areas, which in essence is gonna help humanity. I want to have the purest oceans, I want to be able to drink water straight outta that creek, I want to stop the ozone layer [from depleting], I want to save the world. My job, my mission, the reason I’ve been put onto this planet, is to save wildlife. And I thank you for comin’ with me. Yeah, let’s get 'em! In my life dealing with wildlife, I've been gored, clawed, chomped, bitten, savaged, jumped on, whacked, peed on, even groped! And every single time, it's been my fault. If I get bitten, I've made the mistake; I knew what I was up against when I went in on that animal. And it's been a giant learning curve for me. Gone are the days of sittin' back on the long lens on the tripod and lookin' at wildlife way over there. Unh-unh - come with me. Share it with me! Share my wildlife with me, because humans want to save things that they love. I think my path would have always gone back to or delivered me to wildlife. I think wildlife is just like a magnet, and it's something that I can't help.
