When Steve was six years old, his father gave him a pet Python for his birthday.
(edit)
Steve's daughter, Bindi, is named after one of the crocodiles at his zoo. He also gave her the middle name Sue, named after his dog.
(edit)
Steve was inducted into the Hall Of Fame at the 2007 TV WEEK Logie Awards. His widow, Terri, accepted the award on Steve’s behalf.
(edit)
Germaine Greer described it disgraceful that the Australian National Portrait Gallery took six months to hang a portrait of the late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, after his portrait replaced hers. Germaine then went on to say Steve's death was no great loss to the conservation movement. She also said that Steve "made many Australians cringe".
(edit)
In February 2007, a portrait of Steve was hung in the National Portrait Gallery in Australia, ironically replacing portrait of Germaine Greer who ridiculed him after his death.
(edit)
Terri Irwin (receiving the 2007 TV Week Logie Hall Of Fame Award on behalf of Steve): What goes through my mind is that he should be here. There’s that natural feeling of unworthiness - that it shouldn’t be me up there. Steve’s done all the hard work and I really miss him. But Steve’s goal was to talk about humanity and the environment and our future. I think he would be very proud, honoured and also surprised.
(edit)
Jacqueline Cutler: (the “Newark Star-Ledger” reviewer on “Ocean’s Deadliest”) It's one thing to watch an old movie, starring long-dead actors, and just enjoy Cary Grant being suave or Audrey Hepburn being chic. Yet when the dead, especially those who have not been gone all that long, seem to still be doing what they always did, well, that's quite another matter. This spooky sensation happens when a letter arrives shortly after its writer died, or coming home to find a phone message from someone who just died. Such is the case with Ocean's Deadliest.
(edit)
Joanna Weiss: (The “Globe” reviewer on “Ocean’s Deadliest”) No, nothing ghastly happens onscreen; when he was killed, Irwin was filming a scene for a children's show. But you can't help but wince here at his signature, swashbuckling moves, as when he holds up a giant sea snake – the graphics declare it the 'World's Most Toxic Reptile' – and says, 'If he wanted to kill me, he could! Quite easily!'
(edit)
Annie Howell: (the senior Vice President of US TV network, Discovery, on airing Steve's documentary and a tribute show) Ocean's Deadliest is a fairly straight forward documentary, although it's emotional in terms of it's the last show Steve is doing for us. The tribute show will be emotional. It looks at his life and legacy. It's a beautiful show. It's a salute to Steve.
(edit)
Bindi (on her father): We all know that Daddy had an important job. He was working to change the world so everyone would love wildlife like he did. Now it's our turn to help him.
