Steve Irwin

· 19 min · Episode 274

Show notes

Steve Irwin grew up helping his parents care for reptiles at their small wildlife park in Queensland. He went on to catch and relocate crocodiles, take over the family park and bring his extraordinary enthusiasm for wildlife to television audiences around the world. Alongside his wife, Terri, he turned that fame into support for conservation through Australia Zoo and Wildlife Warriors. This episode follows his life from childhood at Beerwah to the filming accident that killed him in 2006, and explores the work his family continues today.
