We'll miss you Steve....

Stephen Robert Irwin, better known as 'The Crocodile Hunter' passed away yesterday at the age of 44, in a freak accident involving a stingray. Steve was filming this 'harmless' species in shallow water when he was stabbed in the heart by the bull ray's barb. It's ironic that a man who swam happily with the deadliest of creatures was killed by a docile creature.

It's not everyday that you see a real life 'Tarzan' who calls crocodiles and serpents 'gorgeous'! His aussie style and attitude are irreplaceable. Yesterday, we lost an ardent animal lover and a fantastic showman. Animal Planet will never be the same. We'll definitely miss you Steve! :(
