What a great, larger-than-life character, with a solid message. Antics or not, the Crocodile Hunter was all about respecting and preserving wildlife of all types and sizes. He will be missed greatly in our living room and beyond. It does stink. What a great, larger-than-life character, with a solid message.

But we're in mourning alright. Our media didn't love him as much as the American one did, but he was what Australians should be - larger than life, love life and giving everyone a fair go. Many qualities we'd forfeited in favour of fascist ideas. :-/ jd – he was an ‘embarrassment’ to those who have trouble admitting that we all see a bit of ourselves in Steve.

Nicole, your friend should still go visit the zoo. It is very well done. AussieYam, your comment that Australia is mourning is interesting. Many of the media reports here in the U.S. implied that Irwin was an embarrassment to many in your country. You’re right Kell, we do have some wonderful memories of our trip.

Nicole, your friend should still go visit the zoo. It is very well done.

My friend Lauren actually really wanted to go to his zoo in Australia and she wanted to meet him. She's working at the zoo in IF right now and she wants to continue in that line of work, he was a real inspiration to her as well. She said she had been crying all morning after she found out. I'm glad that Bret is not too upset about it. I hope you are all doing well. I was really sad to hear about that as well.
