Steve Irwin
Stephen Robert "Steve" Irwin (22 February 1962 – 4 September 2006), nicknamed "The Crocodile Hunter", was an Australian wildlife expert, television personality, and conservationist. Irwin achieved worldwide fame from the television series ''The Crocodile Hunter'', an internationally broadcast wildlife documentary series which he co-hosted with his wife Terri. Together, the couple also owned and operated Australia Zoo, founded by Irwin's parents in Beerwah, about north of the Queensland state capital city of Brisbane. Irwin died on 4 September 2006 after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb while filming an underwater documentary film titled ''Ocean's Deadliest''. The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society ship was named in his honour.
== Early life ==
Irwin was born on his mother's birthday to Lyn and Bob Irwin in Essendon, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria.〔 He is of Irish descent on his father's side.〔http://www.ancestryeurope.ie/press/press-releases/australia/2012/04/04〕 He moved with his parents as a child to Queensland in 1970, where he attended Landsborough State School and Caloundra State High School.〔("Honour Steve Irwin's passion for nature" ), Queensland Government Department of Education and Training, 2006.〕 Irwin described his father as a wildlife expert interested in herpetology, while his mother Lyn was a wildlife rehabilitator. After moving to Queensland, Bob and Lyn Irwin started the small Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park, where Steve grew up around crocodiles and other reptiles.
Irwin became involved with the park in a number of ways, including taking part in daily animal feeding, as well as care and maintenance activities. On his sixth birthday, he was given a scrub python. He began handling crocodiles at the age of nine after his father had educated him on reptiles from an early age. Also at age nine, he wrestled his first crocodile, again under his father's supervision. He worked as a volunteer for Queensland's East Coast Crocodile Management program and captured over 100 crocodiles, some of which were relocated, while others were housed at the family park.〔("The Irwin Family" ), Australia Zoo web site. Retrieved 14 January 2011.〕 Irwin took over the management of the park in 1991〔 and renamed it ''Australia Zoo'' in 1992.
