Wait, so you're telling me this guy just acted like a moron with a deathwish, on camera, for 10 years, as a living, and then people were surprised when he died?
Wait, so you're telling me this guy just acted like a retard with a deathwish, on camera, for 10 years, as a living, and then people were surpris...
but it was ultimately a stingray that killed him not the snakes and crocs
Hollywood USED to know a little thing about subversion, it was different times
He relaxed.
You know what they say, around stingrays, you don't frick around with stingrays.
It sure has an interesting skin colour
I always thought he was a dickhead and was surprised and disgusted at the apparent consensus that he was a 'top bloke" when he died. c**t fricked around and found out.
He literally fricked around with the most dangerous animals on the planet and found out why most people don't do that. The South Park episode about him was so on-point.
Yes, he fricked around and found out, but he did it entertaining us and educating us. He fricked around some of the most dangerous animals on the planet, and got killed by one of the least dangerous. The most comparable death is houdini getting punched in the chest. He survived tons of shit he shouldn't have, and what got him shouldn't have.
He also did more for conserving those animals than most others in his line of work even though it's their job.
How was he a dickhead? He never harmed animals. All he wanted to do was rescue them and educate us about them. He was a wildlife expert who knew what to do around dangerous animals to keep himself safe which is why he kept all of his appendages. The fact that he was killed in a freak accident by an animal that typically isn’t dangerous at all was a tragic irony.
He was a clown.
Not an argument.
The best there was
They’re fricking animals mate. Don’t be soft.
I don't frick reptiles. I only frick sexy furry mammals.
>He never harmed animals
No, he just abused them and took advantage of them for profit so it's totally ok.
Frick head his shows were always packed he was a legend before and after now frick off I got work to do
Kek this is the first thing I think about when someone mentions Irwin. Norm is spot on as always.
The ironic thing is that he was killed by a fricking stingray.
>Fatal stings are very rare;[3] the most famous case is when Australian wildlife expert Steve Irwin died in 2006, which was only the second case recorded in Australia since 1945.[11]
The issue is he was stabbed in the heart which ended him
People here cared because to them it seemed the right thing to do and the media here pretended to care for ratings.
>pretended to care
Keep coping zoom zoom, every millennial grew up watching Steve with their parents every week.
Not a zoomer. The care I saw was more of the typical empathy that stems from a sudden tragedy but is gone within a day.
>gone in a day
People still talk about him today, compare that to Michael Gambon who died just a few days ago, people have moved on
no
croikey!
Nobody was surprised, the method (stingray) was a little surprising but I'm not sure where you are getting your perception of history from
NARRRRRRRRRR
damn trump looks swole
he died to a stingray piercing his heart.
the stings themselves are painful but usually harmless anywhere else on the body.
even for someone who deals with dangerous animals for a living it was an unlikely way to die.
>unlikely way to die
just as unlikely as dying in a fire at a sea parks. it's the strangest thing I ever heard
no, I'm not
Because he was killed by an animal that has never really killed anyone before. And in the most unfortunate way possible.
guffaw
everyone in my school would jab each other in the chest and shout stingray for months after it happened
Don't you mean "arse"?
he didn’t get stung in the arse, that wouldn’t make any sense
>nooo you don't understand he was actually le evil because he occasionally got on top of a 75,000,000 year old apex predator species that can survive literal extinction events and he put his 175 lb body on top of them for a few seconds its animal abuse
Yeah he was a really bad guy
don't bother animals and you won't die from a stab to the heart, simple as
Died a millionaire and left an entire zoo to his kids and wife, at 44, pretty good life if you ask me, probably never wagied it up either
>zoo
what a c**t
don't go to London, then
>, and then people were surprised when he died
Nobody was surprised, no.
It was surprising that a stingray killed him, and not the animals he usually manhandled.
it's hard to explain how Australians are possibly one of the worst people on Earth. Their history? Criminals, the dumbest and sickest and most fricked up creeps in a nation that was already cool with marital rape, slavery, piracy (privateering) and any evil you could imagine. England was already/is still a kind of messed up nation of people you might classify as 'real jerks' but hell, they got better. Yet, when they were still scumbags fricking up all the lands they tried to colonize they took a look at their own most awful examples of human trash, people TOO EVIL AND STUPID for an already pretty evil and stupid island and decided to broom them. They shipped them to Australia so the criminal scum could rape and murder the Aboriginals and leave London the frick alone.
These 'humans' are genetic trash from genetic trash and they inbred even further after their exile and their 'culture' is rape, animal abuse, racism, absolute love of murder and 'adventuring' (poaching in other nations and their own nation, joining every warlord campaign in Africa, basically imagine a nation of serial killers or Japan during the rape of Nanking but it never ends).
I fricking hate white Australians.
>Their history? Criminals, the dumbest and sickest and most fricked up creeps in a nation that was already cool with marital rape, slavery, piracy (privateering) and any evil you could imagine.
Their crime was being poor.
english criminals were also deported to america btw
They only came here because they couldn't bring them to America (which they were already doing)
>inbred
No, there were few Americans here at that time
How come there's no more animal kinos? No Irwins, no Corwins, no Wild Discoveries, no Animal Planets, no nothing. Did the kino animal man die with cable?
Died with YouTube
Coyote Peterson is the closest thing.
Wildboyz season 1 is top tier animal kino
He did it and played it all up as a ruse to attract dumb people that mock him for doing stupid shit. This thread is living day proof that Steve succeeded in what he wanted to do, and that was teaching people about animals. Very few men are based enough to sacrifice their pride to get a point across let alone to inform and teach.
His son is relentlessly handsome.
I wish Steve Irwin's son would meet Jude Law's son and they you know if you know what I mean.
>the duality of Cinemaphile
god his daughter has massive breasts
very large boobs make me very anxious i worry they'll hit me
she has a kid now too
Imagine the milkers
What’s the knife for?
Abos
The croc is plastic and he's wearing a rubber knoife.
>Wait, so you're telling me this guy just acted like a moron with a deathwish
I worked with venomous snakes for few years(as in handled them daily) and the occasional crocodilians nothing big however once you get a feel for the species its pretty easy to predict their behavior patterns. When you learn to work with dangerous animals like Crotalids and Elapids they teach you never to relax around them but its almost impossible when you are so familiar with what you are working with there are exception like fricking Bothrops and Brown snakes but honestly its not hard to see how someone like him got that lax attitude.
Point being from my experience with venomous snakes its not hard to see how he developed his caviler attitude towards the wildlife he was working with and funnily enough Crocs aren't what ended up killing him.
It's always so telling how people completely miss the point of Steve Irwin. They try and act like moronic know it alls claiming he was an animal abuser or contrarians saying he "got what was coming to him" when in reality he was a trained professional who has lived around animals his entire life and made it his life's goal to get people to love them as much as he did, which his methods were just simply going "hey look at this cool animal I'm frickin around with, you should care about em because they're so cool!" and no one has ever come close to his level of pure and unadulterated level of passion about the things he loves.
Thank you for typing what all the >100 IQ people itt are thinking

Read the articles of the conservationists that had a chance to work with Steve. They had never seen a man so dedicated nor hardworking toward helping and saving the planet. He would learn everything he could about whatever animal they were studying, no matter how much time he had already spent working with that animal, and then he'd drive them to work harder, faster, and more intensely (because conservationists only spend a few weeks a year on any individual animal protection/research trip). They all said he was bigger than the legend and that his tv persona was just a funny version of the actual, intense, devoted humanitarian/conservationist.
ripe old age for a crocodile hunter
What killed was him removing the barb himself. If he had left it in he would still be here today.
>F
imagine getting worked by an animal handler.
He still mogged Attenborough in every way possible.
Preservation, documentation, education. Attenborough is the biggest hack of nature docs
I'd like to see Attenborough chase down the most deadly snakes in the world.
Have we considered that it's not so much "sting rays rarely kill humans", and not "most humans don't go around fricking with a wild stingray in its natural habitat?" Maybe they're actually really aggressive. Maybe they're passive. The point is I can look it up, and Steve Irwin cannot on account of him being dead.
When I was a kid my family went to the beach when there happened to be a hurricane coming. My dad was like "frick it I paid for this shit we're going anyway" and anyway the hurricane blew up this big sand bar out in the ocean so the water was only knee deep way far out from the shore and all kinds of sea life was trapped in it. There were a bunch of sting rays and I would chase them around. This was before he died.
if you don't respect nature you will get hurt
doesn't matter if you love animals, if you don't respect the danger and threat they have as wild animals then you deserve what's coming
I was mildy surprised but knew he was gonna get rekt eventually
He made Floridians feel all the more CHUD.
