I thought it would be nice to have all of his documentaries in one place. Some you may allreday find in FH topics others are new.
Steve Irwin (1962-2006)
R.I.P. mate...
Stephen Robert Irwin was born to Lyn and Bob Irwin in Victoria in February 1962. Bob Irwin was a keen enthusiast of reptiles and moved his family to Queensland in 1970 to start a small reptile park at Beerwah on the Sunshine Coast. Australia Zoo became a true family business, flourishing until 1991 when Bob & Lyn retired, turning over management to their son, Steve.
Living in the Zoo, Steve grew up with animals of all kinds, taking part in the animals daily feeding, care and maintenance. His 6th birthday present was what he had always wanted – his very own scrub python! It was 3.6m (12ft) long and while most other children were opening cans of pet food for their cats or dogs, Steve was out catching fish and hunting rodents to feed to his crocodiles and snakes.
Bob taught the young Steve everything there was to know about reptiles – even teaching his nine-year-old how to jump in and catch crocodiles in the rivers of North Queensland at night. This father and son’s proud boast is that every crocodile in their Zoo (the numbering some 100 animals) was either caught by their bare hands or bred and raised in their Zoo.
As he grew older Steve followed in his father’s footsteps and volunteered his services to the Queensland Governments East Coast Crocodile Management program which saw him spend years living on his own in the mosquito infested creeks, rivers and mangroves of North Queensland catching huge crocodiles single-handed. His record of successful catches is still staggering to this day.
Since 1991, Australia Zoo has flourished and expanded under Steve’s guidance. In 1990 a chance reunion with his friend, television producer John Stainton, filming in the Zoo for a TV commercial, gave Steve the opportunity to show his diverse animal talents to the world when they both took a punt and make the first documentary, "The Crocodile Hunter" in 1992.
The tremendous success of this one program quickly encouraged the making of more and so over the next 3 years, 10 one hour episodes were made and on television screens all over the world. Steve has now filmed over 70 episodes of "The Crocodile Hunter", 53 episodes of "Croc Files", 43 episodes of “Croc Diaries” and his next television series is called “The New Breed Vets” for release in 2005.
Steve has the greatest respect and understanding for all animals – something that has been instilled into him by his family for all of his life – and he's proud to share his passion with everyone who visits his Zoo and with his five hundred million viewers world-wide.
In June 1992, Steve married Terri Raines from Oregon USA. They had met a few months earlier when Terri visited the Zoo whilst on holidays in Australia. They now spend their lives together educating people everywhere to care for all of our world’s wildlife.
On 4th of September 2006 Steve Irwin died after being stung by a stingray while shooting a TV program off Australia's north coast at Batt Reef.

Snakebite: The Ten Deadliest Snakes
This terrifying programme follows renowned animal lover, Steve Irwin, on a trip of a lifetime as he sets out to find the world's ten most venomous snakes, all of which are found in Australia.
This is Steve at his very best as he travels thousands of miles from Darwin in the North to Reevesby Island, south of Adelaide to find, handle and explain all about the deadliest snakes in the world.
Highlights include the Death Adder, which wriggles its tail like a worm to lure its prey, the Tiger Snake, which gives Steve a terrible time by incessantly striking at him as well as Steve being licked by a wild female Fierce Snake, the most venomous snake in the world. Above all, Steve is here to demonstrate that there is room in the world for both snakes and humans and encourages us to show more respect and less fear and let them enjoy their share of the planet.

Tragic loss. He was a great friend to some of the worlds deadliest (soon to be extinct no doubt) creatures and gave them so much respect. These days most people couldn't care about the other animals in the world where they live. To top it off hes so entertaining to watch. R.I.P.
I'm currently sharing the feature film he made "crocodile hunter:collision course". Shall i put it here too?

I heard that there will be some TV stations that will air memorial service in Australia Zoo next week:
Quote: Animal Planet is airing Steve Irwin's memorial service exclusively in the U.S., commercial-free, on Tuesday, September 19, from 9-10 p.m. ET/PT.
Is somebody planning to caputre this and share it?
Thx
