Steve Irwin, aka the Crocodile Hunter, has died in a marine accident while filming a documentary at Batt Reef, Low Isle off Port Douglas. The 44-year-old is believed to have been killed by a stingray barb that went through his chest. He is survived by his wife and two children. What a sad day indeed. Regardless of any controversial incidents, I believe the world has just lost a good man. I can’t remember what show this was, and of course it was to do with turtles, but he was on a beach and Terri Irwin was nearby. He was talking about some sort of law that said he couldn’t physically help the hatchlings. They focused on one little turt, trying to climb some rocks and going who knows where. He was getting quite worked up over the fact that he couldn’t help the little guy when they’re only so endangered because of us. It’s funny that I remember a nature documentary as one of the most touching things I’ve ever seen on a screen. A grown man so frustrated he was almost in tears because he wanted to help a 2-inch long hatchling but couldn’t. Known for his enthusiasm for wildlife and nature, he was a great educator and entertainer and did so much for the animals, conservation efforts, and for Australia..
