Steve Irwin was an iconic Australian zookeeper, television personality, wildlife expert, environmentalist, and conservationist.

Irwin achieved worldwide fame from the television series The Crocodile Hunter (1996–2007), an internationally broadcast wildlife documentary series that he co-hosted with his wife Terri. 

After a lifetime of wrestling crocodiles, and wrangling poisonous snakes and spiders, it was a relatively harmless creature, a stingray, that pierced his heart fatally while snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef.

In this episode of The Crocodile Hunter, Steve is looking “for hot snakes and hot surf” in Indonesia. He finds both and showcases some solid charging on a 7’6′ gun.

15 years on Steve still has an incredibly loveable and infectious charisma about him.

Only Steve Irwin could pluck a sea snake from the water and dangle it in his face smiling. RIP.
