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
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
You know, I'm Australian, and we have got the worst sense of humor. We are cruel to each other.
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
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
Crocodiles are easy. They try to kill and eat you. People are harder. Sometimes they pretend to be your friend first.
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.

Yeah, I think it's an absolute disaster that Australia, the government, allowed kangaroo culling.

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
The truth is that we will never save wildlife by killing it.
Steve Irwin
Image
I was born and raised with crocodiles they are a piece of cake. But kids are so ... unpredictable.
Steve Irwin
Image
No matter where you go and what you do in America, you turn the tele on and you're confronted with violence.
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
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
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
But I put my life on the line to save animals.

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