RIP to the Crocodile Hunter

I couldn't believe it when I heard the news that Steve Irwin had died. I used to watch his shows whenever they were on TV. Most of the time I'd watch and end up thinking he was an absolute nutter for some of the risks he took. However, while I thought he was crazy, I thought he was brilliant at educating people about animals and conservation. He was a real one-off; a man who showed that wildlife programmes could be fun as well as educational. Furthermore, he had a real passion for what he did and while his death was tragic, at least he died doing what he loved. He will be greatly missed.
