Really sad news. Steve was a great animal-lover & a fearless guy, a naturalist.

Stingray is a flat, triangular-shaped fish found in tropical
waters. It gets it's name from the razor-sharp barb at the end
of it's tail (coated with toxic venom)!!!

this was shocking news....i used to see TV in amazement at how he used to handle those snakes. He dedicated his life to protecting wildlife and it was only then when i saw his series that i realised how beautiful and interesting species snakes are.
may his soul rest in peace.

This kind of news is hard to believe. This guy meant the most to animal lovers, i had a good time laughing at his silly moves. It's really sad. He will be missed by many people worldwide. :'(

i m shocked .... my heart goes out to his two children Bindi Sue, 8, and Robert, 3.
may god giv them the strength to lead a life without their father. will they ever love nature n its creatures ??? its hard to say.


while handling crocs, the guy always used to say "one wrong move and my 20 years of research will go down the drain .... "

and man it has happened... though by another creature

The guys at PETA r idiots. They r saying this just days after his death... what happened to them when he was alive.

Steve had dedicated his entire life for wildlife conservation. His shows were just to educate people about the importance of animals in our ecosystem and not to make money.
