Why don't we ever hear about this guy anymore? What's he been up to?
Fuck man I still miss him.
>>2091473
The brown recluses got him.
>>2091479
It was a manta ray actually, but yeah.
Pity nobody's ever managed to step the fuck up and fill those shoes. Sure, it's a big job, but the the world needs a man like Steve Irwin.
>>2091480
Was a sting ray
>>2091473
>>2091480
Bindi has been doing a pretty decent job, but she's more celebrity than wildlife expert.
>>2091473
>>2091506
Bindi Irwin's a fuckin fraud and so is her mum
Cashing in on his death
Source: I'm australian
>>2091505
>it was super effective :(
>>2091506
I always thought it was fucked up how she started doing that show after he died. I wonder if she even wanted to, or if her mom made her or something. I know I sure as hell wouldn't want to, if that happened to me
What's your favorite episode of The Crocodile Hunter /an/? I really liked the one about freshwater crocodiles and how they manage to survive during the drought.
I've always hated his guts. Touching and bothering all those wild animals just because he thought it made him look cool. Jerk.
>>2091692
Her mom made her, she wanted to become a singer iirc but her mom forced her to be the next Steve Irwin
Who would fuck his daughtet?
>>2091550
Something in her snapped when Steve died. You can see it in her eyes
>>2091473
It should have been Jeff Corwin. I remember as kid nearly crying watching an ep of Corwins showing and it being just of such inferior quality to Steves. It should've been you Jeff
>>2091717
That one with the Whales was pretty cool. I also liked the one when he rescued that one croc that had have its jaw missing
>>2091792
Jeff killed him self shortly after
>>2091480
A manta ray has never killed anybody
"crikey! me strawberry tart!"
>>2091550
>fraud
Really?
Fraud is a bit strong. I mean, lets not forget they fucking own Australia zoo, they all do love animals. There's no bs there.
>>2091755
You keep your faggot opinions to yourself.
>>2091550
>Cashing in on his death
How the fuck are they cashing in on his death?
>you will never come home from school, excited to watch the crocodile hunter, followed by the most extreme, again
>animal planet will never be as good as it was when you were a kid
>there will never be a man like Steve Irwin who can fill the void in your life from an absent father figure
feels bad man
>>2091973
Fuck man, why you gotta hit me with these feels?
>>2091973
He was like that goofy fun uncle who took you on day adventures and gave you some of the realest life advice
>>2091813
No he didn't
>>2091755
You shut your dirty whore mouth
>>2091973
Fuck did I love Most Extreme, but it really milked that 1 hr run time. It need another 2 or 3 ranks.
>>2091979
He did. He tried to be Steve but got rejected and tried to fuck bindi and he ran. Eventually hold up in a house and then shot himself.
>>2091985
I know man. Although in hindsight it does seem kind of campy, little me ate that shit up. It's a shame that Animal Planet seems a lot more like A&E now rather than Nat Geo
>>2091480
it was a sting ray you sperg, it is physically implausible to be killed by a manta ray
>>2091755
sounds like steve irwin stuck his thumb up your cold-hearted bum
>>2091990
Trust me, I ate it up too, but those commercials killed me. Even with the camp, I'd watch it today if it was reformatted.
Another show I really liked was this short-lived "Four Truths and a Lie" kind of show, where you would try to pick out the animal lie. Don't remember the name though
>>2091991
A manta ray could slap you to death with its wings
>>2091973
I just want to know what the hell did happen to Animal Planet in the last 5 to 10 years.
Seriously they went from something animal related 90% of the day with infomercials the other 10% to nonanimal related shit (TREEHOUSES AND POOLS) 70% followed by halfassed animal shows the rest of the time
>>2092008
I learn more about animals through Bizarre foods now.
>>2091987
Nope, still alive
>>2092022
Stop posting Jeff you are dead.
>>2091985
>Used to draw a hybrid animal of the Top 5
>>2091987
Wut he tried to fuck a 6-9 year old?!?!
>>2091973
Saw this it made me feel a little better.
to bad he's gone now no one stand in the name of mothernature
It pierced my heart when I heard that he died.
>>2092193
The news of his death really stung me too. He was a ray of sunshine in all our lives.

Yea no one is going to be on your side with that fuckboy, steve Irwin was a badass and if there is a heaven he is there, so fuck you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmnVWhX1d-Y
>>2091755
hey buddy I actually agree with you. I didn't have cable growing up so I don't have any emotional connection with this guy. Honestly he kinda got what he deserved. You can't fuck with animals that long and not get something in return
>>2091755
He cared more about animals then anyone here
>>2091925
>they fucking own Australia zoo
Yeah, about that... Australia Zoo was a joint venture with Steve's brother, Terri basically took it and shut down the wildlife rehab part.
http://www.baka.com.au/news/national/why-i-walked-away-from-australia-zoo/2008/04/03/1206851070078.html?s_cid=rss_news
I hear his family is suing a sunscreen company for not protecting him from harmful rays
>>2093296
Sui's there too!
>>2091755
This.
This was even the reason he died. he chose to provoke a deadly animal, and the animal answered to the provocation. As simple as that.
All those different contexts where he dominated and manhandled different animals. It always bothered me.
>>2091473
He had to quit. He just doesn't have the heart for it anymore.
>>2093428
He did it to raise awareness for crocs nigga. Look like an idiot to save the crocs basically
>>2092838
You can see how much he wants to be Steve Irwin and he does some pretty insane stuff.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfNmX1do7Po
This will never not be funny. Just don't ever fuck with a wombat.
He died and then the next day my grandfather died.
I was more sad about Steve.
>off camera someone dumps a snake out of a bag
>steve pretends to have just stumbled on it by chance
>proceeds to beat the shit out of it
I'm glad he's dead.
>>2093428
IIRC he didn't know the stingray was there. He was just snorkeling and he swam over it buried in the sand then BAM!
>>2093878
>yfw you realized he killed himself because he was a dumbass and pulled the stinger out. Moron still be alive if he had left it in
>>2091973
>>2094038
It's a pretty immediate reaction to try to pull something out that's stabbing you.
I mean it's best not to, but it's hard to ignore that immediate reaction.
>>2091755
Fuck off, stingray.
>>2091475

>dumbass
Really bro?
So in every survival accident you're a fucking expert and know exactly what to do and will react calmly?
GTFO
>>2093428
Have you ever been to Australia?
Bro we literally have fucking venomous snakes/spiders/lizards crawling through our backyard. Crocs are a massive issue in our rivers and a lot of the other "animals he bothered" are animals most people never see, so it's good information.
>>2094109
Steve was an expert and a dumbass. It was literally his profession to handle upset animals on camera and not die and he was a leader in the field until he died fucking with a dangerous animal on camera. Like a dumbass.
>>2093408
Really, that's funny. Cause I know for a fact that the RSPCA still sends exotic animals to and from Australia zoo and Currumbin. A 5 second google tells me they still do wildlife rescue.
>>2094109
i think he's referring to the fact that it's much harder to bleed out from a puncture wound if you don't remove the foreign object before you are immediately ready to be treated by professionals -- ie. on the operating table. but steve was pierced literally through the heart with a three foot long, serrated spike so i don't think his chances were very good regardless.
>>2094115
0/10
>>2094114
How is lying about how and where he found an animal and the mishandling it good information? I'd call it harmful misinformation.
>>2094121

i'll bash ur fookin ed in m8
>>2091755
He didn't do it because he thought it made him look cool
>>2091480
He's caught some attention. He's as danger-crazed as Steve, that's for sure.
>>2092011
That is honestly my favorite show
>>2091820
Fuck you, my grandmother was algae.
>>2091505
too soon
>>2091480
I'd like to fill those shoes
I watched a lot of Steve Irwin's shit when I was a kid, but looking back at it the man really had some guts. It was quite trilling actually.
>>2091473
evrytiem i c his face, my heart stings
>>2091473
I heard he got skin cancer. The sunscreen he put on didn't protect him from dangerous rays.
>>2094274
watch the fucking shows

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/steve-irwins-final-moments-death-revealed-article-1.1716587
So he didn't try to pull it out? I keep hearing different things.
>>2096864
Oh and on top of that.
>Stingray wounds have also been found to bleed profusely and for a long amount of time after the initial puncture. It has been suggested that there may be some sort of anti-hemoglobin agent incorporated with the secreted venom, but Professor James H. Diaz of Louisiana State University has refuted that theory.
This fucking game dude

Probably just hanging out on a coral reef somewhere, catching some rays.
>>2091999
>implausible
That's why he used that word
I'd say Andrew Ucles and Brave Wilderness are doing that just fine.
If only we had a good mix of the two then we'd have Steve Irwin 2.0....
>>2092055
Shut up Dac.
>>2091755
he did fuck with animals for good television but he was also a pretty decent activist... i think....
>>2091755
I bet you like cats... A LOT

He's shilling for the GA Aquarium, which is nice, but the amount of corporate sponsors it has is HUUUUUUUGE (Home Depot have it money for Whale Sharks)

sadly you have to take out a loan to afford taking your kids to it.
>>2096892
Once I went to the zoo they had a Steve action figure on clearance and I bought it.
His two shirt pockets are buttons. He's got two modes, catch phrase and story.
I think Animal Planet still airs some episodes in the morning. I watch them sometimes.
>>2093194
You make him proud every day that you lovingly care for that tortoise m8. Every single day.
>>2091473
Koalas don't live that long desu

I don't know but most probably hanging around sleeping on a tree... why are you so interested in a koala anyways???

He does some crazy shit. I'm pretty sure it's legit.
>>2093662
I shouldn't have laughed at this. It is so horrible and wrong. Why did I laugh?
>>2091473
If anyone gets a verifiable message, it would help to exonerate 4-chan.
>>2096864
If something punctures the heart, the heart either: stops beating; goes into a non-functional rhythm where even tough it still beats, little blood is being pumped.
Short answer: he was dead, very quickly. The pain and/or shock of a heart wound, or the resulting heart failure, can make the victim incapable of action, and soon after, it is too late.
This is my amateur interpretation.
>>2092185
Thanks for that m8
