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

More quotes by Steve Irwin
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.
Steve Irwin
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
The truth is that we will never save wildlife by killing it.
Steve Irwin
Crikey means gee whiz, wow!
Steve Irwin
I believe our biggest issue is the same biggest issue that the whole world is facing, and that's habitat destruction.
Steve Irwin
We don’t own the planet Earth, we belong to it. And we must share it with our wildlife.
Steve Irwin
Every cent we earn from Crocodile Hunter goes straight back into conservation. Every single cent.
Steve Irwin
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
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
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
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.
Steve Irwin
The message is simple: love and conserve our wildlife.
Steve Irwin
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
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
I get called an adrenaline junkie every other minute, and I'm just fine with that.
Steve Irwin
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
And I have stopped eating tuna until the tuna nets cease killing tens of thousands of dolphins every single year.
Steve Irwin
We humans still have a long way to go with learning to live harmoniously with our environment and its wildlife.
Steve Irwin
Crikey means gee whiz, wow! Crikey, mate. You're far safer dealing with crocodiles and western diamondback rattlesnakes than the executives and the producers and all those sharks in the big MGM building.
Steve Irwin
I've probably saved thousands of peoples' lives with my educational message on snake bites, how to get in around venomous anything.
