Steve Irwin
Steve Irwin was born to love animals and to fight for their survival - even those creatures most people would deem less than desirable. He had cared for reptiles since the tender age of six when he received his first long scrub python. Sadly, it was his devotion to not only nature, but bringing wild creatures to the attention of the world via his numerous popular TV programs, that cost "The Crocodile Hunter" his life in September, 2006.
