Posted - 04/09/2011 : 13:16:34 it was this day in 2006 that the late great Steve Irwin died
he was such a great ambassador for reptiles and herpetology, and so very enthusiastic about them, particularly Australia's native species.
Blessed Be Steve |

Posted - 05/09/2011 : 10:22:55 Its a day late but R.I.P Steve God,I'm filling up! What a fantastic bloke he was. His enthusiasm and love for animals was contagious. He opened up peoples eyes to so many wonders and the plight of so many animals. I have some of his Dvd's and both the kids and I love watching them. |

Posted - 04/09/2011 : 21:00:39 i still watch repeats of him on the telly and think 'i still can't believe he's dead'
it still upsets me as he was a fantastic, inspirational person really hate to think what his family are going through today |
