Every cent we earn from Crocodile Hunter goes straight back into conservation. Every single cent.
Steve Irwin
Image
The first crocodile I ever caught was at nine years of age, and it was a rescue.
Steve Irwin
Image
What television has done is it's given me a stepping stone to get to some other countries and really wild destinations throughout this world, which perhaps I would have had to struggle to get to.
Steve Irwin
Image
Yeah, I think it's an absolute disaster that Australia, the government, allowed kangaroo culling.

Where I live if someone gives you a hug it's from the heart. I've had these blokes in Hollywood hug me trying to make out I'm their friend and as soon as I turn their back they take out a big bunch of knives and stab me in the back. I feel sorry for these people because they are so shallow.

I've probably saved thousands of peoples' lives with my educational message on snake bites, how to get in around venomous anything.
Steve Irwin

Crikey means gee whiz, wow!
Steve Irwin

Crocodiles are easy. They try to kill and eat you. People are harder. Sometimes they pretend to be your friend first.
Steve Irwin
Image
Herein lies our problem. If we level that much land to grow rice and whatever, then no other animal could live there except for some insect pest species. Which is very unfortunate.
Steve Irwin
Image
Take the crocodile, for example, my favorite animal. There are 23 species. Seventeen of those species are rare or endangered. They're on the way out, no matter what anyone does or says, you know.
Steve Irwin
Image
I am optimistic globally. So many scientists are working frantically on the reparation of our planet. Unfortunately there are countries who are still destroying it, but we really hope the conservation message rubs off in our film. Every cent we earn from Crocodile Hunter goes straight back into conservation. Every single cent.

Born a wildlife warrior, die a wildlife warrior.
Steve Irwin
Image
We've evolved from sitting back on our tripods and shooting wildlife films like they have been shot historically, which doesn't work for us.
Steve Irwin
Image
So, my tactic with conservation of apex predators is to get people excited and take them to where they live.
Steve Irwin
Image
But I put my life on the line to save animals.
Steve Irwin
Image
We don’t own the planet Earth, we belong to it. And we must share it with our wildlife.
Steve Irwin
Image
Yeah, for some reason parrots have to bite me. That's their job. I don't know why that is. They've nearly torn my nose off. I've had some really bad parrot bites.
Steve Irwin
Image
When the East Timor conflict broke out, when they gained independence, the militia killed a lot of East Timorese people. And their sacred totem is the crocodile. They believe that their island is actually a solidified crocodile, so it has sacred status.

Where I live if someone gives you a hug it's from the heart.

I believe our biggest issue is the same biggest issue that the whole world is facing, and that's habitat destruction.
