The World Has Lost a Great Man

Besides his infectious enthusiasm and simple manner, Steve Irwin was a great conservationist who had the ability to appeal to mass audiences. He made wild animals seem accessible to us, to seem beautiful. He made us appreciate them. Many children loved his style and grew up with his programs. The world will miss him. The Crocodile Hunter was one of a kind.

I still remember the episodes we used to watch years back with him, his wife Terri and Sui the dog -- always the faithful, fearless companion.
