Steve Irwin - the crocodile hunter

On Monday this week, Steve Irwin, the crocodile hunter died in a stingray attack. He was the most passionate and energized wildlife documentary filmer I ever saw. Often I wondered whether he was taking too much risk. He did not do anything by half, and I guess that earned him the respect of even the most dangerous croc or snake.

Many Steve Irwin tribute videos have been posted this week. My favorite is the one below. It shows what he was about: passion, danger, showmanship, and ultimately wildlife protection.
