I hate peta for trying to shit on Irwin he was an amazing person and taught a lot of people to be kind to animals he was part of the holy trinity of wholesomeness and he was great
I will never forget the day Steve passed. I was 10 years old and my dad came through the door from work with a very sad, worried look on his face. He struggled to tell me... but he said "Baby, Steve died today." I knew exactly who he was talking about cause Steve Irwin was my hero and my role model. Hell, my whole family loved him like he was family. I remember crying and watching his movie for the rest of the night. RIP Steve. You made such an impact in my life. You fueled my passion for animals. I have my own business & I help raise money for shelters every chance I can. You taught us all so much and your legend will forever live on ❤
I vividly remember it to... Even though I was only 6 I can remember sitting in my great grandpartents' living room, playing with plush toys and listening to the radio in the background. I cant remember what it exactly said but I remember just sitting and listening, and being so heartbroken about it. He was awesome
I was in Iraq when he died, and I remember how bummed out everyone was. A bunch of American infantrymen that joke about the most inappropriate things never joked about that. Someone drew a big mural of him that said RIP on a wall in our barracks. He was honored, and missed by people all over the world.
I can only wonder what Steve Irwin would have accomplished had we not lost him on that day. His energy, enthusiasm and passion and gentle nature made him a perfect fixture to Family TV and someone who could teach and reach people of any age. His absence is still felt today, 12 years after his death, even by those who never met met him.
I bet he would have been killed by some other animal. But you know what I don't think he would regret it But then again I know it's still a sore subject for some people especially after this whole PETA incident and I'm not even sure I really beleve that
I don't know of anybody who hated him. He was a big sweetheart. He built the Australia Zoo with lumber from his own property so no habitats were effected. He hunted crocodiles to educate people and let them go. I learned a lot from him, now my nieces and nephews learn from his kids.
at this point Peta is so bad that they shouldn't be classified as existing on our planet or our dimension, thus making it true that nobody hated nor hates him
I know the man who use to work beside him and that had lived with their family for a year in Australia and he knows the truth of what kind of person steve Irwin was when they’re weren’t any cameras
I hate when people say his death was a “tragic accident.” Steve knew what he was doing and he knew the consequences. He understood that he was in that sting rays home and he was the intruder. He would never in a million years blame that sting ray for doing what it was naturally made for
@Cosmonauteable yes he did, why people still go rock climbing when it's so fcking dangerous and every second could kill you? Why do you want to go fishing in open sea when a giant wave could roll over your boat? Why do people still go skiing if there is a chance of avalanche, or hypothermia? Because their love for climbing, because their love for fishing, because their love for skiing. Same for Steve, He know the consequences, yet he still trying to show everyone how great animal is, some of them are dangerous, but that is his passion, that is his love, and I respect him for it. If all you did is staying at home in that comfortable chair while watching TV all day and repeating the same routine, I won't call that truly living your life, and I see no meaning in it. People can die anywhere anytime, if you are reading this you can suddenly died by heart stroke, when I typing this I could die with meteor suddenly crash into my room, when we go to see a movie in theater we could suddenly die when there is a earthquake. No body, No one, knew when we are going to die, so why not do something you like to the fullest?
Responding to their list 1: Of course he was afraid of something. And hippo's are one of the most dangerous animals in the world and parrots can take chunks out of you if you're not careful 2: He usually kept the snakes in a position where they were comfortable. That's why he wasn't killed all those times he held a venomous snake 3: Well, has anyone ever not seen or touched an animal they've never seen before and become inspired by it to do something? He had a point, awareness is the first step to conservation 4: Breaking bones is painful. 'Nuf said. 5: Had a point. Ever go see the lions at the circus? 6: Gotta go with Grandad Irwin on this one 7: He loved all creatures, great and small, hairy and scaley. He valued all life, not just his critters RIP Steve Irwin And damn PETA to hell for trying to sully his Legacy Like to throw PETA's collective asses out of Australia for good
i'd like it if god finally threw them out of this dimension for good, so that they couldn't come back like they did so long ago... *i can still remember the screams of the cats and dogs*
I actually have to agree with both Justin and Irwin’s father. What Justin said gives us a bit more personal insight to what happened, but it probably would’ve been better shared somewhere other than live television.
Personally, I think that Justin is right. He told a story that probably (to some degree) scarred him. Also, he waited quite the time to tell the story, not like he did it the day after.
@@sarahschmidt1070 Stop commenting that everywhere. Also, you are so blind to the bigger picture. The legend passed we don't need idiotic PETA supporters like you commenting that everywhere.
23 now. I cried when he died. I'd watch his show everyday when I got home from school at four. I was really distraught when he died. Cried several times after I learned of his death on a magazine cover in a shell gas station.
I'm 22 now and literally cried the whole day when my father told me Steve died. Here in Germany, his program always came early in the morning and I stood up every Saturday and Sunday at 5 am to watch crocodile hunter. He was such a good human being and i will always miss this fella!
I still remember going to school then learning Steve had died in science class didn't believe it at first. Steve Irwin was a one of a kind man that can never be replaced.
Steve Irwin was clever. He understood animals but he also understood the psychology of people. As he said, his excitement drew people in and put animals on people's agenda. He did dangerous things, and people watched, because danger fascinates people. That way, he could educate people about animals, promote their welfare, and try and save them.
@Cosmonauteable its like any animal if it senses any fear or doubt it will attack. If he takes antivenon then he doesent trust the snake and he will feel that inside himself and will have that thought in the back of his head and will change the way he acts but thats just how i interpert it
This quote from American author Jack London makes me think of Irwin: "I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."
Darkness Shadow gaming i believe what they said was, when google made a slide show thingy for his birthday, PETA responded by saying it was a fauning and dangerous message, saying that steve irwin was a bad man and dangled his kid over a crocodile or something like that
John Fabio he was. He brought a bunch of land that was set for demolition (WITH HIS OWN MONEY) and made it a wildlife reserve, whenever he had a close call with an animal he would not blame the animal, he would blame himself and take full responsibility for his actions. He lead a campaign against poaching, didn't grab a snake from behind the head so he didn't damage its spine and much, much more. I would like too see what you have done for conservation dickhead
That was so funny when he's like "oh yeah he won't bite 😄" a few seconds later "oh... yeah he's biting me😐" honestly he took that so calmly if it we me I'd cry and scream probably, he's so brave i miss him
By mom said she had some bad news for me when I was little, she showed me the front page of the newspaper and it said that Steve Irwin had died, I cried so much.
I grew up on The Sunshine Coast, not 20 minutes away from Australia Zoo. We all used to make fun of Steve for being too over-the-top and playing up Australian stereotypes that we all thought we cringey. Then he died and we all ate a big piece of humble pie. That was one hellava guy we lost, man. One hellava guy.
Video Graham: I ate no "humble pie" on learning of Irwin's death as I saw it for what it was, and IDIOT who put his own life at serious risk for a close-up video of a dangerous animal that could've been taken from a safe distance with the camera mounted on a tripod and zoomed in on the animal. Instead, he'd get right up close to the animal, being the stupid fool that he was. Harry Butler and(as boring as he's become) David Attenborough had the good sense to shoot from safe distances and let their cameras do the work that they were designed for.
+Paul Griffin: The kiddie was barely more than a baby, not even walking yet. What if a croc suddenly lunged at the kiddie? Doesn't even bear thinking about!
Neil he routinely put his own life in danger for something he was passionate about, education. When I see videos like this sometimes I wonder just how much I would actually know about animals had Steve not been there to show me. This is important for both conservation reasons as well self preservation when you find yourself face to face with these animals. I grew up watching his show because it was fun, informative, and I got to see how I can interact with them and stay in one piece, which is important because I love animals. I grew up in Florida, US, where alligators and and many different venomous snakes and spiders were everywhere, as well as a melting pot of dangerous mammals and more reptiles. Seeing Steve interact with animals allowed me to witness how those animals react, what it looks like when they're angry, when they're docile, or when they mean you no harm. That helped me a LOT growing up. Knowing when to be afraid and when to calmly give them their space, and when you can interact with animals is priceless to someone like me. How do you suppose I would have learned without someone like Steve there to show me, who was brave enough to get close and show us how animals act around humans? There's no local experts where I grew up and you sure as hell don't learn this stuff from reading a book! As for the kids being put in danger...that's your opinion, and yes, the word "danger" is relative. Personally I wouldn't do it and I wouldn't let him do it with my kids, but that was his own child. This action does not earn him the disrespect you are showing him even after he is already long gone. Let's be honest here, what exactly do you gain from telling everyone on youtube how stupid you think a dead man was? It does no one any good and it's wrong a moral level.
I grew up watching Steve Irwin, he was on tv during the entirety of my childhood years (ages 3-12) and died around 8 weeks before my 13th birthday. He taught me to have an apretiaton for wildlife, may he R.I.P.
After watching this video I'd have to say the man was a whole lot more than just the excitable "Crikey" man. Saving both humans and animals...What an amazing person! Hopefully his family and friends' grief was made a bit smaller knowing what a positive influence he made on the world. We miss you, Steve.
First of all, let me say I liked Steve Irwin very much and knew he was afraid of parrots. That made me laugh because I'd worked with parrots for over twenty years, but there was no way in hell I would ever tail an eight-foot black mamba, which Steve did on one of his trips to Africa. I can tell you why parrots bit Steve Irwin. Parrots mirror a person's energy. Steve was always hyperactive, so any parrot who met him would immediately become hyperactive. If the parrot didn't know Steve, it would use that energy to defend itself. If you don't want parrots to get wound up, you have to be calm. Steve couldn't be calm because he was so passionate about wildlife; therefore, he got bit. I used to dream of working with the parrots at Australia Zoo. Someone had to do it. ;)
I was only 10 when this happened. I still can't believe it's been 14 years. He was a good man, a good father, and loving husband. His son is bearing the torch and is doing great at it. RIP you magnificent man.
You're alright mate! Simply GORGEOUS.... I was planning on going to Australia Zoo and spend the summer volunteering for Steve after graduating highschool. After thr fateful event in 2006 I decided not to go. However I still have my love for animals and conservation thanks to Steve. RIP Croc Hunter!
I SO miss Steve Irwin and all the wonderful things about him. Wildlife education and the world will never be the same without that great man. My heart hurts for his family and friends. R.I.P. sweet soul...you are sorely missed. Thanks for everything you have done.
Remove Talos yeah the civil war is all apart of the dominions plan to conquer tamriel using imperial resources without the dominon using its while getting its goal of outlawing talos worship slowly crumpling the empires moral
@@binozia-old-2031 it's only worse if the venom isn't a neurotoxin which snakes like the Inland Taipan, the most venomous snake on Earth, tend to carry. Also, why are all of the 10 deadliest snakes on Earth originally from Australia? Irwin himself addressed this in his episode about them.
I remember seeing a book about Steve Irwin and his work that he loved. It's amazing because it was about being able to help animals and the fact he had so much passion to help them and his dedication to them. This man's a complete legend, and did things most people will never do.
His legacy still lives on...His son Robert looks just like him, and I love how Bendy and her Mother are still helping and raising Animals to this day as well.....
I loved this man and cried when he died. We truly lost a legend when he died. The world need ppl like this and unfortunately they’re almost always the ones that pass
" Love him or hate him " ??? Listen here, Im Australian and I had to turn the video up to 1.25 just so I didnt feel like I was listening to someone with a speech impediment.
When Steve was here ... It was good to be on this planet. He was a force that touched and moved all of us. His unique experiences and relationship with nature helped to instill and awaken a brighter awareness and understanding of the magnificence in All of our Earth's diverse collection of wildlife. Steve you will be in my heart always.
I loved watching Steve Irwin. How could you not love the guy?? In 2006, my daughter and I-well my daughter ended up back on the boat cause she was freaked out-went swimming with stingrays off of the Cayman Islands. I was in Heaven! It was about 6 weeks later that Irwin was tragically killed by a stingray. I admit I cried. I cried for him and his family. He loved life. He loved unloveable creatures and taught us to appreciate them. I’m glad his family has continued his work. He’d be so proud of his kids.
I remember watching tv seeing videos of him playing with animals and right away I fell in love with all of them. I love all animals thanks to steve, and even the ones other people hate. I loved snakes and owned two as my own growing up. Just after I found out about RUclips I watched so many videos of steve on here. I never knew he passed until I came across a tribute to Steve with the song fix you to it. I cried for days because of it and I always wanted to be the next Irwin. Thank you steve.
I still miss him, it has never been the same without him. I was brokenhearted when I found out he died. I didn't believe it. I'm just glad he died doing what he loved.
this Aussie mate, is a true legend, you can tell from the story of the cameraman as he just exclaims to the camera "i'm dying" no solem words, no "help me" just "i'm dying" he knew what he was going to give when he started with animals, it became his life and in turn it saw fit to take his from our world. Steve Irwin you were the greatest man i knew and watched. Your no doubt proud of everything your family has accomplished and the people that your children have become. Goodbye ya, bloody legend.
This man's done so much towards making the younger generations, now in the early stages of adulthood, care about animals. Its essential for our work to preserve nature.
true but that was like 12 years ago humans are starting to become idiots again i hope they become better again like 2 months ago a species of rhino went extinct :( i forgot what species of rhino was it i think it was male white rhinos
It was the male northern white rhino, I'm pretty sure. We need a new Steve Irwin. Not to replace him, that's impossible. But we need a new cult figure in the animal conservation area He is so dearly missed
just like how we animals care about our on kind? please we are the worst, he did nothing for animal conservation, conservation is best when everyone just leaves everything alone and does not try and fix everything
I miss Steve Irwin, always watched his shows :) He is still missed even to this day ♥♥♥ I love how his kids Bindi and Robert are carrying on his legacy! ^_^
He definatley was. Unfortunately I was too young to ever see my hero but he has taught me more in an hour documentary than I have learnt in my whole life of school combined. He was the biggest legend. All those people in the comments talking shit can get fucked because they're either kids who think they're super cool or fat sweaty adults who sit in front of their fortnige screen all night RIP STEVE 😭
Damnit! Actually brought a tear to my eyes :) used to piss off the family cuz I watched Irwin whenever I could (no-one could get the TV) :D excellent vid
I was scared to watch this because the title seemed like you might have negative things to say about Steve, but luckily it was wholesome and in his honor. I miss him and I'm glad his family is doing well, he continues as an inspiration.
I grew up with Steve until he died. My parents said when they told me when he died (I was 6), I didn't talk for a while. My love for animals is all thanks to him and I am glad his kids have taken his footsteps
I saw Steve Irwin 3 years after his death, i didn't know he died until months later and i was actually shocked that it was only re-runs and not the new episodes. I saw him as a great figure to saving animals and the endangered ones. I hope he finds great peace in his grave.
Do you even read or understand what you writing??? "I saw Steve Irwin 3 years after his death, i didn't know he died until months later" this is the part that doesn't make any senses!!!!
Back then when i heard about the news of his death i cried like the six years old that i am and this brought on old wound to me R. I. P. champ we'll always remembered you
Steve Irwin was my hero, i watched him when i was a small kid. When i heard he died(i still was pretty young) - my heart broke. He was the reason why i loved the animals as much as i do today. I will remember him forever as hero. Our hero.
Coyote Peterson of Brave Wilderness is quickly becoming the next Steve Erwin. We need more people like them in the world, education is the key to improving nature conservation, and we sure do need more of it in this day & age.
Kevin Richardson and Cesar Milan already are. Kevin just handles Lion's, Hyena's and Leopards in South Africa though and exposes the canned hunting and petting zoo's which, are connected to canned hunting entirely.
be careful which canned hunting you speak bad of though because many do massive amounts for wildlife and the local community and if you want the nearest thing to steve irmin check out nigel marven he is englands irwin
Canned Hunting is ONLY legal in North Korea, the only legal hunt in the Southern African nations will happen because you buy a license from the State NOT farmers, you go in the bush with a guide, NOT to farmers to release a white lion on a small plot of land, by law any animal is meant to be allowed to flee even across national lines which, bans all hunting as an international criminal act. Namibia banned all foreign hunting and instead they helped the locals and regenerate an entire Desert and bring in mass tourist money more than hunters will ever bring in and helped locals best. Zimbabw after Cecil the Lion was killed Mugabe said any man hunting black or white outside the 1 last licensed area in North Zimbabwe, will face being tied up and flogged in public for their crimes.
He is useless, watch Cesar Milan for dangerous domestic pets, look at Kevin Richardson who walks and swims with and sleeps with packs of Lion's, Hyena's and Leopards or the so called Cheetah Man who helped ban hunting in Namibia a Frenchman who left to live in the bush and helps Cheetahs return to land they been extinct due to hunting for decades like the Namib Desert.
He was a great man, he taught about animals, help them and more I can’t believe he even died, he was fantastic. People are heartbroken, including his family, I wasnt around when Irwin died but, fuck I’m still really sad. I glad his family are moving on and still do what they love to do. It’s fantastic to see a family, still in heartbroken, carrying on the legacy that was Steve Irwin. He was a lovey man. Still brings me to tears of what happened. Rest in piece Steve, well never forget you ❤️❤️

Why do you want to go fishing in open sea when a giant wave could roll over your boat? Why do people still go skiing if there is a chance of avalanche, or hypothermia? Because their love for climbing, because their love for fishing, because their love for skiing.

23 now. I cried when he died. I'd watch his show everyday when I got home from school at four. I was really distraught when he died. Cried several times after I learned of his death on a magazine cover in a shell gas station.
I'm 22 now and literally cried the whole day when my father told me Steve died. Here in Germany, his program always came early in the morning and I stood up every Saturday and Sunday at 5 am to watch crocodile hunter. He was such a good human being and i will always miss this fella!
I..... I can’t even go there too much for me RIP Steve 😢
im so proud of him as a aussie ,,
I still remember going to school then learning Steve had died in science class didn't believe it at first. Steve Irwin was a one of a kind man that can never be replaced.
Love or love him you mean
Unless you're peta of course
egg _ excuse me but why are you a chicken period
Steve is one of the greatest animal guys who ever lived. Thanks to him for the adventures and fun he took us on.
Steve Irwin was clever. He understood animals but he also understood the psychology of people. As he said, his excitement drew people in and put animals on people's agenda. He did dangerous things, and people watched, because danger fascinates people. That way, he could educate people about animals, promote their welfare, and try and save them.
NIKKI B Very well said!
@Cosmonauteable its like any animal if it senses any fear or doubt it will attack. If he takes antivenon then he doesent trust the snake and he will feel that inside himself and will have that thought in the back of his head and will change the way he acts but thats just how i interpert it
Cosmonauteable that’s just the way he described being calm so the animal was calm, you braindead invalid
This quote from American author Jack London makes me think of Irwin:
"I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time."
What a great quote for a legendary man
doesn't matter what you'd druther when you're fucking dead.
This can only become more beautiful, if you read this in his voice.
@Marcus Derillius Number 15 Burger king Steve Irwin, the thing you'd want most in your burger king burger is Steve Irwin.
"or hate him"
I'm sorry is PETA watching this video?
I'm still pissed bout what peta said bout him
Hector Preston same here
What did those idiots say
Darkness Shadow gaming i believe what they said was, when google made a slide show thingy for his birthday, PETA responded by saying it was a fauning and dangerous message, saying that steve irwin was a bad man and dangled his kid over a crocodile or something like that
@@deathblow239wiltsie9 that's bs why peta so dumb
I'm more pissed about this: ruclips.net/video/nlt9ntdimHc/видео.html . Try to get through all that screaming, I dare you.
This guy was a part of my childhood, R.I.P Steve.
Rat Head same here
he was my childhood
Same back in 2002
Press F to pay respect
same
Irwin made watching nature documentrys fun. R.I.P
John Fabio And one day that is all you will have. You are maggot food like everybody else.
John Fabio do you even know what a conservationists is?
John Fabio he was. He brought a bunch of land that was set for demolition (WITH HIS OWN MONEY) and made it a wildlife reserve, whenever he had a close call with an animal he would not blame the animal, he would blame himself and take full responsibility for his actions. He lead a campaign against poaching, didn't grab a snake from behind the head so he didn't damage its spine and much, much more. I would like too see what you have done for conservation dickhead
John Fabio yeah.....nah. Im not nine mate.
John Fabio first you insult a deadman! Now you insult my country!
“Love him or hate him”
I hate people who hate him.
So basically, the whole PETA population.
@@ogithesergal4182 They can die, all of them
Don't say you hate them, Steve erwin asked us to love all animals and people who hate him are by definition, animals.
Everyone who works at Peta can go burn in hell.
Get your facts straight, Peta has done too many terrible things to be classified as a person in this dimension
That was so funny when he's like "oh yeah he won't bite 😄" a few seconds later "oh... yeah he's biting me😐" honestly he took that so calmly if it we me I'd cry and scream probably, he's so brave i miss him
I’m Mr Meeseeks, look at me
@@johnmarston5383 HI Mr MEESEEKS I'm Mr MEESEEKS tooooooo!
He's a legend. The lawnmower part had me cracking up.
*in Aussie accent* The lawnmower died...
Man. He inspires me to do something for the earth. RIP Legend. Still remember the day my mom told me about his death. Sad
Death 666 says death 666
By mom said she had some bad news for me when I was little, she showed me the front page of the newspaper and it said that Steve Irwin had died, I cried so much.
Oh man same man :/ I was so sad when he died
Steve is responsible for my love of animals. Miss ya mate ❤😥
Those are the saddest last words someone like him could ever say
I grew up on The Sunshine Coast, not 20 minutes away from Australia Zoo. We all used to make fun of Steve for being too over-the-top and playing up Australian stereotypes that we all thought we cringey. Then he died and we all ate a big piece of humble pie.
That was one hellava guy we lost, man. One hellava guy.
Video Graham: I ate no "humble pie" on learning of Irwin's death as I saw it for what it was, and IDIOT who put his own life at serious risk for a close-up video of a dangerous animal that could've been taken from a safe distance with the camera mounted on a tripod and zoomed in on the animal. Instead, he'd get right up close to the animal, being the stupid fool that he was. Harry Butler and(as boring as he's become) David Attenborough had the good sense to shoot from safe distances and let their cameras do the work that they were designed for.
I agree Neil! I remember seeing this idiot carrying his baby into a compound with crocodiles in it!
+Paul Griffin: The kiddie was barely more than a baby, not even walking yet. What if a croc suddenly lunged at the kiddie? Doesn't even bear thinking about!
Totally agree! if I'd done that my baby son, my wife would have made sure I couldn't have any more kids!
Neil he routinely put his own life in danger for something he was passionate about, education. When I see videos like this sometimes I wonder just how much I would actually know about animals had Steve not been there to show me. This is important for both conservation reasons as well self preservation when you find yourself face to face with these animals. I grew up watching his show because it was fun, informative, and I got to see how I can interact with them and stay in one piece, which is important because I love animals. I grew up in Florida, US, where alligators and and many different venomous snakes and spiders were everywhere, as well as a melting pot of dangerous mammals and more reptiles. Seeing Steve interact with animals allowed me to witness how those animals react, what it looks like when they're angry, when they're docile, or when they mean you no harm. That helped me a LOT growing up. Knowing when to be afraid and when to calmly give them their space, and when you can interact with animals is priceless to someone like me. How do you suppose I would have learned without someone like Steve there to show me, who was brave enough to get close and show us how animals act around humans? There's no local experts where I grew up and you sure as hell don't learn this stuff from reading a book!
As for the kids being put in danger...that's your opinion, and yes, the word "danger" is relative. Personally I wouldn't do it and I wouldn't let him do it with my kids, but that was his own child. This action does not earn him the disrespect you are showing him even after he is already long gone. Let's be honest here, what exactly do you gain from telling everyone on youtube how stupid you think a dead man was? It does no one any good and it's wrong a moral level.
I grew up watching Steve Irwin, he was on tv during the entirety of my childhood years (ages 3-12) and died around 8 weeks before my 13th birthday. He taught me to have an apretiaton for wildlife, may he R.I.P.
OldWestGunslinger He died two days before my 12th birthday. What a shit present 😬
I was 8 when he died but I still remember it like it was yesterday I literally was and still am enrolled by him
Im crying in remembering what person Steve was...
Never forgotten...
Respect and Honor to Steve.
We miss him.
"love him or hate him"
hating Steve Irwin is not an option
After watching this video I'd have to say the man was a whole lot more than just the excitable "Crikey" man. Saving both humans and animals...What an amazing person! Hopefully his family and friends' grief was made a bit smaller knowing what a positive influence he made on the world. We miss you, Steve.
Well said. I miss him.
First of all, let me say I liked Steve Irwin very much and knew he was afraid of parrots. That made me laugh because I'd worked with parrots for over twenty years, but there was no way in hell I would ever tail an eight-foot black mamba, which Steve did on one of his trips to Africa.
I can tell you why parrots bit Steve Irwin. Parrots mirror a person's energy. Steve was always hyperactive, so any parrot who met him would immediately become hyperactive. If the parrot didn't know Steve, it would use that energy to defend itself. If you don't want parrots to get wound up, you have to be calm. Steve couldn't be calm because he was so passionate about wildlife; therefore, he got bit.
I used to dream of working with the parrots at Australia Zoo. Someone had to do it. ;)
No one:
PETA: *talks shit about Steve Irwin*
THE ENTIRE INTERNET: *ATTACKS PETA*
I was only 10 when this happened. I still can't believe it's been 14 years. He was a good man, a good father, and loving husband. His son is bearing the torch and is doing great at it. RIP you magnificent man.
You're alright mate! Simply GORGEOUS.... I was planning on going to Australia Zoo and spend the summer volunteering for Steve after graduating highschool. After thr fateful event in 2006 I decided not to go. However I still have my love for animals and conservation thanks to Steve. RIP Croc Hunter!
I SO miss Steve Irwin and all the wonderful things about him. Wildlife education and the world will never be the same without that great man. My heart hurts for his family and friends. R.I.P. sweet soul...you are sorely missed. Thanks for everything you have done.
If it’s a python you don’t need anti venom
Yeah I like venom better...then again carnage is cool too
yes but you can get infected which can be just as bad or worse
Remove Talos i love skyrim
imperial or storm cloaks?
mer or man?
Remove Talos yeah the civil war is all apart of the dominions plan to conquer tamriel using imperial resources without the dominon using its while getting its goal of outlawing talos worship slowly crumpling the empires moral
@@binozia-old-2031 it's only worse if the venom isn't a neurotoxin which snakes like the Inland Taipan, the most venomous snake on Earth, tend to carry. Also, why are all of the 10 deadliest snakes on Earth originally from Australia? Irwin himself addressed this in his episode about them.
I remember seeing a book about Steve Irwin and his work that he loved. It's amazing because it was about being able to help animals and the fact he had so much passion to help them and his dedication to them. This man's a complete legend, and did things most people will never do.
His legacy still lives on...His son Robert looks just like him, and I love how Bendy and her Mother are still helping and raising Animals to this day as well.....
That man was one of the few people I could say was a global treasure and one of the very few "celebrities" who's death shook me.
I loved this man and cried when he died. We truly lost a legend when he died. The world need ppl like this and unfortunately they’re almost always the ones that pass
I cryed and had a hard time dealing with his passing, as if I knew him...he touched many and he somehow made it feel like he was just talking to you.
"Love him or hate him"

" Love him or hate him " ??? Listen here, Im Australian and I had to turn the video up to 1.25 just so I didnt feel like I was listening to someone with a speech impediment.
This guy was one cool guy, I miss him and his documentaries everyday. RIP Mr.Irwin
You can't get more Australian then Steve
Or more dumb!
Ye Steve Irwin was a true WANKER
I wonder why he said his parents bite him and they nearly tore his nose off. That is very strange his parents bite him
dont feed these trolls
Voi what is a troll and why dont you want to feed them. i have heard of them before
When Steve was here ... It was good to be on this planet. He was a force that touched and moved all of us. His unique experiences and relationship with nature helped to instill and awaken a brighter awareness and understanding of the magnificence in All of our Earth's diverse collection of wildlife. Steve you will be in my heart always.
Still miss Steve, grew up watching him and learning.
PETA: *_Criticising Steve Irwin_*
Everyone else: *_Defending Steve Irwin's legacy_*
Would’ve been his 57 birthday today
R.I.P Steve Irwin
Fuck off kyle but yeah R.I.P steve Irwin
I loved watching Steve Irwin. How could you not love the guy?? In 2006, my daughter and I-well my daughter ended up back on the boat cause she was freaked out-went swimming with stingrays off of the Cayman Islands. I was in Heaven! It was about 6 weeks later that Irwin was tragically killed by a stingray. I admit I cried. I cried for him and his family. He loved life. He loved unloveable creatures and taught us to appreciate them. I’m glad his family has continued his work. He’d be so proud of his kids.
I remember watching tv seeing videos of him playing with animals and right away I fell in love with all of them. I love all animals thanks to steve, and even the ones other people hate. I loved snakes and owned two as my own growing up. Just after I found out about RUclips I watched so many videos of steve on here. I never knew he passed until I came across a tribute to Steve with the song fix you to it. I cried for days because of it and I always wanted to be the next Irwin. Thank you steve.
I remember when he died, I was little. I used to watch him before I went to bed so that I wasn't as scared of the dark. His death was very sad
I still miss him, it has never been the same without him. I was brokenhearted when I found out he died. I didn't believe it. I'm just glad he died doing what he loved.
this Aussie mate, is a true legend, you can tell from the story of the cameraman as he just exclaims to the camera "i'm dying" no solem words, no "help me" just "i'm dying" he knew what he was going to give when he started with animals, it became his life and in turn it saw fit to take his from our world.
Steve Irwin you were the greatest man i knew and watched.
Your no doubt proud of everything your family has accomplished and the people that your children have become.
Goodbye ya, bloody legend.
I’m glad I used to have animal planet I used to watch that show every day 😭
"Love him or hate him" who in the hell could hate him?
PETA
*sigh* PETA
So many times everyone questioning this,its of course peta
PETA!
you know who
I cried when he died when I was young.. =c
"I'm dying." That line killed me on the inside. 😭
“Love him or hate him...”
Me: Who tf hates Steve Irwin?
PETA: *stares awkwardly shifting*
This man's done so much towards making the younger generations, now in the early stages of adulthood, care about animals. Its essential for our work to preserve nature.
YouCanCallMeReTro very true
true but that was like 12 years ago humans are starting to become idiots again i hope they become better again like 2 months ago a species of rhino went extinct :( i forgot what species of rhino was it i think it was male white rhinos
It was the male northern white rhino, I'm pretty sure. We need a new Steve Irwin. Not to replace him, that's impossible. But we need a new cult figure in the animal conservation area
He is so dearly missed
just like how we animals care about our on kind? please we are the worst, he did nothing for animal conservation, conservation is best when everyone just leaves everything alone and does not try and fix everything
ben hart art
Yeah well if we didn’t have conservations then we would’ve just kept fucking going and those fuckers would’ve been extinct years ago.
I miss Steve Irwin, always watched his shows :) He is still missed even to this day ♥♥♥ I love how his kids Bindi and Robert are carrying on his legacy! ^_^
I remember watching this amazing man as a child he really was a hero , RIP Steve ❤️
"Love him or hate him"
Me: everybody loves Steve
Also me: wait.... Peta...
Me: Every smart person loves Steve
I love and MISS him so much! He was such an amazing human being!
He definatley was. Unfortunately I was too young to ever see my hero but he has taught me more in an hour documentary than I have learnt in my whole life of school combined. He was the biggest legend. All those people in the comments talking shit can get fucked because they're either kids who think they're super cool or fat sweaty adults who sit in front of their fortnige screen all night
RIP STEVE 😭
Damnit! Actually brought a tear to my eyes :) used to piss off the family cuz I watched Irwin whenever I could (no-one could get the TV) :D excellent vid
Did your family hate him?
A hero he was. Always in my heart. Heroes die young.
I was scared to watch this because the title seemed like you might have negative things to say about Steve, but luckily it was wholesome and in his honor. I miss him and I'm glad his family is doing well, he continues as an inspiration.
This re-opens old wounds...
fuck off idiot...
Don't watch it
thoughts&prayers
Wow! Can't believe how sad I still am about this😫😫😫
yerp videos like this remind me of how sad i am about his passing too :(
Me too..
Still making me cry every time I see something about him. Such a good energy and positivity he had. What a gem this planet has lost.
Peta must have disliked this 695 times
“I’m going” that gave me chills 😖
Some people use lawnmowers to cut their grass, then there's Steve Irwin. R.I.P Steve.
We miss you Steve R.I.P your are the reason I love nature
Idk how you could hate Steve Irwin this bloody legend? He was the best and I feel proud to be an Aussie like this legend.
Iron Monster I agree 🙏🏼
I grew up with Steve until he died. My parents said when they told me when he died (I was 6), I didn't talk for a while. My love for animals is all thanks to him and I am glad his kids have taken his footsteps
I saw Steve Irwin 3 years after his death, i didn't know he died until months later and i was actually shocked that it was only re-runs and not the new episodes.
I saw him as a great figure to saving animals and the endangered ones. I hope he finds great peace in his grave.
Do you even read or understand what you writing??? "I saw Steve Irwin 3 years after his death, i didn't know he died until months later" this is the part that doesn't make any senses!!!!
the months later indicates on that time 3 years after his death i just knew Steve died
jesus
Back then when i heard about the news of his death i cried like the six years old that i am and this brought on old wound to me R. I. P. champ we'll always remembered you
true hero
Steve Irwin was my hero, i watched him when i was a small kid. When i heard he died(i still was pretty young) - my heart broke. He was the reason why i loved the animals as much as i do today. I will remember him forever as hero. Our hero.
That first sentence “Love him or hate him”
Common mate, who can hate Steve Irwin
He’s a legend , my hero
Peta
should have statue of this genuine soul. RIP Steve
Roger Arredondo couldnt agree more
should be a world holiday steve irwin day
Coyote Peterson of Brave Wilderness is quickly becoming the next Steve Erwin. We need more people like them in the world, education is the key to improving nature conservation, and we sure do need more of it in this day & age.
Kevin Richardson and Cesar Milan already are. Kevin just handles Lion's, Hyena's and Leopards in South Africa though and exposes the canned hunting and petting zoo's which, are connected to canned hunting entirely.
Im going to be starting my own nature channel soon.
be careful which canned hunting you speak bad of though because many do massive amounts for wildlife and the local community
and if you want the nearest thing to steve irmin check out nigel marven he is englands irwin
Canned Hunting is ONLY legal in North Korea, the only legal hunt in the Southern African nations will happen because you buy a license from the State NOT farmers, you go in the bush with a guide, NOT to farmers to release a white lion on a small plot of land, by law any animal is meant to be allowed to flee even across national lines which, bans all hunting as an international criminal act. Namibia banned all foreign hunting and instead they helped the locals and regenerate an entire Desert and bring in mass tourist money more than hunters will ever bring in and helped locals best. Zimbabw after Cecil the Lion was killed Mugabe said any man hunting black or white outside the 1 last licensed area in North Zimbabwe, will face being tied up and flogged in public for their crimes.
He is useless, watch Cesar Milan for dangerous domestic pets, look at Kevin Richardson who walks and swims with and sleeps with packs of Lion's, Hyena's and Leopards or the so called Cheetah Man who helped ban hunting in Namibia a Frenchman who left to live in the bush and helps Cheetahs return to land they been extinct due to hunting for decades like the Namib Desert.
Steve died on my 49th birthday. I really liked that man.
Childhood hero. Died on my birthday. It's still tragic, but he died doing what he loved and that's something no one will ever take away from him.
My gosh... 😭😭😭 HE WAS A AUSSIE LEGEND!
Crikey it’s the Irwin’s!
Dude when he explained how Steve reacted to getting stabbed through the chest it hit me in the same spot.
He was a great man, he taught about animals, help them and more
I can’t believe he even died, he was fantastic. People are heartbroken, including his family, I wasnt around when Irwin died but, fuck I’m still really sad. I glad his family are moving on and still do what they love to do. It’s fantastic to see a family, still in heartbroken, carrying on the legacy that was Steve Irwin. He was a lovey man. Still brings me to tears of what happened. Rest in piece Steve, well never forget you ❤️❤️
One time I needed a picture of Steve Irwin and I forgot his name so I just typed in “Australian guy who died” and he popped up
