Steve Irwin, known
worldwide as the "Crocodile Hunter", has been killed by a stingray in northern
Queensland, Australia. Mr Irwin was killed by a stingray barb that went
through his chest while swimming.
Irwin was known
for his television program, "The Crocodile Hunter".
From Wikipedia:
"Steve Irwin was
the owner and manager of the Australia Zoo at Beerwah, Queensland, Australia.
He was best known as The Crocodile Hunter, which was the name of the unconventional
nature documentary series on television he hosted, assisted by his American-born
wife, Terri Irwin.
His larger-than-life
persona and seemingly outrageous antics (including the close handling of
both common and rare species of wildlife and, perhaps most famously, the
capture of live crocodiles and other reptiles on-screen) were key features
in the presentation, which provided a forum for educational information
about wildlife conservation and conflicts with humans in various parts
of the world. The program had made the Irwins television personalities
on several continents."
