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.

If we save our wild places, we will ultimately save ourselves.

scientific whaling, and other lies will be exposed and become atrocities of the past.

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.

I get called an adrenaline junkie every other minute, and I'm just fine with that.
Steve Irwin
Image
I want the cleanest water, the freshest air and wildlife in abundance... but most of all I want a future for our children.
Steve Irwin
Image
But I put my life on the line to save animals.
Steve Irwin
Image
The truth is that we will never save wildlife by killing it.

Born a wildlife warrior, die a wildlife warrior.

The first crocodile I ever caught was at nine years of age, and it was a rescue.
