Steve Irwin quotes about
You know, I'm Australian, and we have got the worst sense of humor. We are cruel to each other.
I've probably saved thousands of peoples' lives with my educational message on snake bites, how to get in around venomous anything.
No matter where you go and what you do in America, you turn the tele on and you're confronted with violence.
Crikey means gee whiz, wow!
My dad taught me from my youngest childhood memories through these connections with Aboriginal and tribal people that you must always protect people's sacred status, regardless of the pest.
I'm a proud Australian, a very, very proud Australian.
Yeah, I'm a thrill seeker, but crikey, education's the most important thing.
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.
Take the crocodile, for example, my favorite animal. There are 23 species. Seventeen of those species are rare or endangered. They're on the way out, no matter what anyone does or says, you know.
Yeah, I think it's an absolute disaster that Australia, the government, allowed kangaroo culling.
Australia has one of the worst mammalian extinction rates in the world.
I sincerely believe that there's room for cutting down trees for forestry and grazing, so as we all get to eat. Everyone has to compromise.
My number one rule is to keep that camera rolling. Even if it's shaky or slightly out of focus, I don't give a rip. Even if a big old alligator is chewing me up I want to go down and go, 'Crikey!' just before I die. That would be the ultimate for me.
Born a wildlife warrior, die a wildlife warrior.
