Remembering Steve Irwin The Crocodile Hunter

In memory of Steve Irwin

This past week was the 55th birthday of Steve Irwin The Crocodile Hunter. Steve Irwin, a wildlife expert, was 44 when he died in 2006 after a stingray barb pierced his heart.

I remember his passion for his work with dangerous animals, I remember his infectious enthusiasm...but what I think I will remember the most was how Steve got so many people to cheer for the snake.

No kidding.  I remember how people would react while watching the show, and how people started to cheer for the snake in the hopes that the snake would actually bite Steve as Steve manhandled the creatures.  Personally, I think that is why a lot of people tuned in...just to see if this week, Steve would get bitten.

Steve made learning about snakes, reptiles and dangerous animals a fun experience.

Never forgotten. The world STILL talks about this remarkable person.

Here are some of Steve Irwin's inspired appearances:
