It causes me great pain and anxiety to inflict fear on this poor old croc, but without me, he and his wilderness would suffer. - Steve Irwin

I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it.

I'm very embarrassing to look at. You know why? Here's why I'm embarrassing: 'cause there's a little bit of me in everybody... I'm like the boy that never grew up. I'm very, very passionate about what I do. I mean, I love what I do....and people are like "God, give this guy a valium or something, you know? Can't he have a bad day?"

If you can’t excite people about wildlife, how can you convince them to love, cherish, and protect our wildlife and the environment they live in?
