Great shot of the two of you together, even if you're not in your natural (watery) element! I'm sad he's gone. He was an odd yob, but as you say, he did a great service to the many different wonderful lifeforms of the world.
Alas! I'm going to miss his foolhardy (in my cowardly estimation) but always exciting and informative adventures!
The Great Whatever obviously chose this company over that of Mr. Cheney or Mr. Bush...which I can understand. But I can't help lamenting it.
Irwin's death is not a surprise but I am truly sorry for it. He was appealing in his way and he truly loved the natural world and did his best to pass that on to the rest of us.
Of all the numerous, loathsome, mediocre, malevolent, obnoxious and useless public figures projected into our space via le tube de boob, Irwin is one I will miss. Thoughts and prayers for Terri and the kids.
I can't believe that made the news over there. I am continually surprised by how popular he was overseas given our (australia's) general aversion to the guy.
Over the top, yes, and always bound to go out in some animal-related manner, but he was a great educator. But this one is bizarre - only the second person ever to be killed by a stingray - by a barb right to the heart.
The world is strange.
I think the crocs paid the rays for the hit.
Back in her watery element.
And I am also sad to hear of the death of anyone who draws atention to wildlife...
Silvertail, the link cacked. Pity. I imagine it was a water_tiger.
As Bemused said, it's rather ironic that the thing that finally killed him was (relatively speaking) so harmless.
The world have lost the one and only Steve Irwin.
Animal Planet will never be the same anymore.
May you rest in peace.
If there is any justice in the universe, Steve Irwin will maginally reappear one day, alive and well and grinning from ear to ear, riding a giant crocodile that promptly devours Karl Rove at the exact same moment that the Undisclosed Location is overrun by giant mutant rats with an appetite for oily, Cheney-flavoured cyborgs
I can dream, can't i?
