Sad, sad, news. Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin has been killed. This really saddens me. The Crocodile Hunter was always a hero of mine. Sure he was a bit quirky and weird but that's what made him unique and cool. I loved watching his TV shows and documentaries. No one could ever say he was boring. Watching his shows I learned so much about the animal world and made me realize what a wonderful world we live in. Many of the posts in this blog were inspired from watching shows like his on Animal Planet. The one consolation in all this is that he died doing what he loved, working with animals. It is certainly ironic but at least he wasn't just hit by a car or something of that nature.Anyway, this post is in honor of the great man, this Crocodile Hunter. My prayers are with his family as I join in the mourning that is going on around the globe. Thank you Steve for all you have done. You will be missed.
