His Crocodile Hunter show aired for 11 years! Did you realize that?
What is equally unbelieve is that he went from being the owner of a zoo in Australia to being world renowned for his show, the Crocodile Hunter, which aired for 11 years.
Manta rays are kinda scary, I would be afraid to swim with them. Oh, really? There are two species that are considered vulnerable by a conservation group. I know Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray. I don't know if there's a difference. I don't know, either. Were you aware that he died in 2006? I thought it was longer, but yes the world lost a great guy.
Irwin achieved worldwide fame from the television series ''The Crocodile Hunter'' (1996–2007), an internationally broadcast wildlife documentary series which he co-hosted with his wife Terri; the couple also hosted the series, ''Croc Files'' (1999–2001), ''The Crocodile Hunter Diaries'' (2002–2006), and ''New Breed Vets'' (2005).
