Rest in Peace




"Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin died yesterday from a stingray's barb through the chest.

"Irwin was described as "a modern-day Noah" and his death shocked world leaders, fellow naturalists and humble Australians who said he was "a bloody good bloke."

"I really do feel Australia has lost a wonderful and colorful son. He brought immense joy to millions of people, particularly to children, and it's just such a terrible loss," emotional Australian Prime Minister John Howard told reporters.

British naturalist and broadcaster David Bellamy described Irwin as a great performer and an excellent natural historian."He did take enormous risks, but he knew what he was doing. It was one of the terrible, terrible, terrible accidents and I wish to God it didn't happen," Bellamy told the BBC."

Irwin went to the extreme to show animals in their own habitat and was a great entertainer. His famous catch phrase "CRIKEY" will live on, along with his memory.
