I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it.
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
Snakes are just very instinctive to me. I've been playing with snakes since before I could walk. It doesn't matter where or what it is, from the biggest to the most venomous.
Steve Irwin
Image
The only animals I'm not comfortable with are parrots, but I'm learning as I go. I'm getting better and better at 'em. I really am.
Steve Irwin

Born a wildlife warrior, die a wildlife warrior.

Crikey means gee whiz, wow!

I believe our biggest issue is the same biggest issue that the whole world is facing, and that's habitat destruction.
Steve Irwin
Image
I was born and raised with crocodiles they are a piece of cake. But kids are so ... unpredictable.
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
I would sooner die of a taipan bite then tell my dad that I got bitten by a taipan. Because my nose would bleed from his kicking my ass.
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.
Steve Irwin
Image
The message is simple: love and conserve our wildlife.
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
Image
And I have stopped eating tuna until the tuna nets cease killing tens of thousands of dolphins every single year.
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.
Steve Irwin
Image
You know, you can touch a stick of dynamite, but if you touch a venomous snake it'll turn around and bite you and kill you so fast it's not even funny.
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.
