The Croc Hunter

Steve Irwin was a champion to Australia's wildlife conservation. Back when I had access to some eco channels, I used to watch his shows and be awed by his stunts handling usually dangerous and poisonous reptiles. He never fails to mention to the audience to respect these beautiful creatures thus eradicating alot of misconception over these animals.
Steve Irwin 44, recently died when he was filming underwater near the reefs in Australia. He was stung by a stingray through the heart and died although friends and crew who were at the scene tried to revive him.
It is a true loss that Steve Irwin had gone in such a tragic way for his contributions to wildlife conservation is nothing short of a legend.
So this is a tribute to the man who wrestled crocodiles for its own survival.
