Stephen Robert Irwin
The true story of steve irwin: by ixgames
Born to Lyn and Bob Irwin in Essendon, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Irwin moved with his parents as a child to Queensland in 1970.
Steve described his father as a wildlife expert interested in herpetology whilst his mother Lyn was a wildlife rehabilitator.
Bob and Lyn Irwin started the small Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park, where Steve grew up around crocodiles and other reptiles.
At the age nine he wrestled his first crocodile..!
Irwin followed in his father’s footsteps..!
Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park was a family run business until it was turned over to Steve.Now called Australia Zoo (renaming it in 1992). Also that year, he appeared in a one-off reptile and wildlife special for television. In 1991 ….he met Terri Raines at the park (The two married in June 1992, in Eugene, Oregon).
Irwin and Terri had two children: a daughter, Bindi Sue Irwin (born July 24, 1998), and a son, Robert Clarence “Bob” Irwin (born December 1, 2003). Bindi Sue is jointly named after two of Steve Irwin’s favourite animals: Bindi, a saltwater crocodile, and Sui, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier who died in June 2004.
The Crocodile Hunter series was broadcasted in over 137 countries, reaching 500 million people.
Irwin was involved in several media and movie campaigns.
Shortly after 01:00 UTC (11:00 AEST) on September 4, 2006, Irwin was fatally pierced in the chest by a stingray spine whilst snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef, at Batt Reef, which is located off the coast of Port Douglas in Queensland. Irwin was in the area filming his own documentary, to be called The Ocean’s Deadliest.
The events were caught on camera:
1. steve is preparing and discussing the dive one hour before he died.
2. Steve came over the top of the ray and the tail came up, and spiked him here ….in the chest….. and he pulled it out and the next minute he’s gone. Exclusive pictures
3. A public service was held at the 5,500-seat Animal Planet Crocoseum at Australia Zoo on Wednesday morning September 20, 2006. (It is estimated that over 300 million viewers worldwide watched the service)
He lived his life on the edge…..RIP Steve
