My friend's daughter will be sad to hear this story. She idolized Steve and for his famous TV programs, she wanted to become a veterinarian. It is a sad day for animal lovers and a planet which is striving so hard to promote kinder, gentler appeal towards all living creatures. I will miss Steve... I hope Terri would find some comfort.

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) -- Crocodile hunter Steve Irwin took his month-old son to his first croc feeding on Friday, offering the reptile a chicken with one hand and holding the baby in the other.
With a capacity crowd looking on, Irwin dangled a dead chicken before the 13-foot crocodile named Murray, which snapped up the offering. Irwin's tiny son Bob looked on from his other arm.
"He's one-month-old, so it's about time Bob got out there and did his first croc demo," the Australian celebrity told the crowd at his Australian Zoo.  thats as bad a michael jackson holding his son over a ledge....(yes i was wrong earlyer, it was MJ)

All i have to say holy (you know what), talk about the odd's. Whats weird is that even though i don't know the whole story besides the final outcome is that you have to provoke just enough for them to attack you. OF course it's going to even harding on the kids especially his son who will only remember him by picutres and video's. He will be sorely missed by everyone across the world.

It really is a shame. Whilst his programs were over the top, and he just fed the American held stereotype of Australians, there was no doubt he was a conservationist at heart. He had a passion for what he did (which was evident throughout his shows and movies), and most definitely made a difference in the world in the way of saving the animals. Condolences to his family, though I believe his daughter already has a headstart in the industry (anyone seen the Australia Zoo ads?) and hopefully will continue her father's legacy.

Yes, Steve Irwin was over the top, but this was a man very passionate about what he does. He could not help but let his passion overflow and hopefully have a few more people follow his cause. As an Australian I sometimes found him embarrassing, but you have to admire the fact that his heart was in the right place, (no pun intended about the way he died) and he really believed in what he was doing. Never have I seen a person so 'up' all the time, it was not just an act for the cameras, he was like this all the time. Talk about passion! No matter what you thought about him or the things he has done, Steve Irwin did a lot of good things for the environment. He will be sorely missed as a great Australian character and ambassador.

I do think it's pretty sad, certainly the way he died. Although honestly my girlfriend cared a lot more then I did, she acted like it was her closed friend... woman.

I'm sorry, but when someone spends all that time provoking dangerous animals... how is it such a surprise when he is killed by one?  Wasn't that his entire gimmick- that the animals he poked at were deadly? I can't say I feel sorry for him, since he decided to take those risks of his own free will, although I have to feel a bit bad for his kids. Not only do they have to deal with all the stuff a 'normal' kid with a single mom would, they get to go through life with everyone around them knowing how their dad died, bringing it up, etc... No doubt this whole mess will continue to cause them more pain in the future.

Steve Irwin was a very good presenter of a very good wildlife documentary. I'm not really into those kinds of TV programmes, but I have to admit, i've watched a couple of the episodes he's hosted. It's a shame that he's accidentally killed himself, I don't think anyone would be able to host crocodile hunter as well as he did. For everything he's done for educational / interest purposes, he really didn't deserve to die. I really do feel sorry for his family, and agree with what's said a couple of posts above mine about feeling sorry for his sons. They will grow up with only their childhood memories reminding them of what their father was really like. I guess they'll have a couple of videos of his crocodile hunter episodes, but watching on television isn't the same as actually seeing in real life.
