One of the greatest wildlife and conservation legacies of our time is none other than Australian native, Steve Irwin. Steve skyrocketed to stardom with his television series, “The Crocodile Hunter,” which he filmed for 11 years with his soulmate and partner in crime, Terri Irwin.
But Steve and Terri had long been caring for and protecting wildlife before the television series made them household names. The two have been dedicated to conserving, rehabilitating and releasing animals back into the wild since the 1970s (crikey!). Clad usually in khaki, Steve and Terri have been effortlessly helping the world’s most fearsome beasts, showing the rest of the world the hearts behind the most exotic creatures in the world.
While Steve Irwin tragically died in 2006, his life’s work is carried on through Terri and their two children, Bindi and Robert. Together, the Irwins have left an indelible mark on the world, both through their wildlife conservation efforts and their genuine, warm and loving personalities. This is their story.
