The truth is that we will never save wildlife by killing it.
Steve Irwin
Image
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.

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
Yeah, I'm a thrill seeker, but crikey, education's the most important thing.
Steve Irwin
Image
My dad taught me from my youngest childhood memories through these connections with Aboriginal and tribal people that you must always protect people's sacred status, regardless of the pest.

Image
I get called an adrenaline junkie every other minute, and I'm just fine with that.
Steve Irwin
Image
You know, I'm Australian, and we have got the worst sense of humor. We are cruel to each other.
Steve Irwin

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.
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
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
And that unusual squawking sound is actually the mating call of the the rare...oh, it's just an oboe player.

Crocodiles are easy. They try to kill and eat you. People are harder. Sometimes they pretend to be your friend first.
