In , the family decided to relocate to Beerwah on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, in Queensland. Australia Zoo was in the making and the ultimate Wildlife Warriors were about to change how the world understood wildlife conservation. Steve's life was a cocktail of love, passion, enthusiasm and respect for wildlife. His excitement over the most deadly snake or tiniest lizard brought him to the forefront of animal conservation.
He set the precedent for making sure his fellow humans cared for and respected wildlife and the environment as much as he did. Steve changed the world with his extreme conservation efforts and innovative ideas. He was a true blue Aussie bloke whose energy and passion shone through in all he did. Steve's legacy will live on forever. Through fellow Wildlife Warriors, wife Terri and children Bindi and Robert, his conservation work and larger than life personality will endure.
Steve treasured every opportunity to share his love for wildlife with his children, Bindi and Robert. He instilled in them the need to treat every living being with kindness. Steve was incredibly proud of his children and often said if he was to be remembered for anything, he hoped that it was for being a good dad.
In July , Steve and Terri set out a ten-year business plan for their beloved zoo. Tragically, Steve passed two months later. His passionate family continue to strive to achieve all of the goals Steve hoped to attain. He wanted the best for all the animals, overall, because he cared. Steve's love was not exclusive to animals though. In this firsthand account from his wife Terri, she recounts how they first met: "That evening he put me up at the Glasshouse Mountains Motel, a few miles from the zoo.
The next night Steve and I went to dinner in Caloundra, a nearby town. He took me to a resort that featured an all-you-can-eat buffet dinner-seafood banquet, my favorite. At one point a little piece of crab flicked onto the crook of my arm He looked at me with such love in his eyes, and I thought, He's going to say something wonderful.
Steve leaned in and said affectionately, "Gosh, you aren't ladylike at all. As she seems to remember quite fondly, Steve showed caring in all the little things he did to make her happy. From the hotels to the dinners and jokes, Steve was a very kind hearted person. In the instance where Terri thinks she has embarrassed herself, he surprises her with understanding and loyal honesty. This all seems to be what she finds caring, making Steve a thoughtful person.
A hero may embody many traits including passion, bravery, and caring. If these are the necessary traits, then Steve Irwin is, in all regards, a hero. He was a man that was passionate about his work with animals. He was brave by going to any lengths to save them. And he cared for all over whom he watched, whether it be his zoo or family he always provided the best care possible.
Steve is an inspiration because he worked hard from an early age, to the end of his brief life, to protect animals that needed his help. He also was a very admirable person that was kind at heart and full of enthusiasm and passion.
What I find most inspiring about him though, is that he was strong but willing to be harmed by the animals he protected everyday. Steve is an immortal hero because he embodies both the powers of strength and compassion. These traits allowed him to extend past himself to help those in need, not stopping until he succeeded, which is one of the best kinds of heroes.
He was a gentle soul that is still greatly missed. At the time of his death, the Guardian published an opinion piece by author Germaine Greer claiming the animal's had "got their revenge". Every creature he brandished at the camera was in distress. Lots of the animals Steve Irwin was filmed with lived in Australia Zoo, which his family still owns today. Anneka, who's a wildlife TV presenter, disagrees with keeping animals in captivity, but says what Steve Irwin did has to be put "into balance".
Anneka says that she wouldn't choose to touch wild animals because "they need to be left to be as they are". She's recorded programmes with lots of rescued wolves, but says approaching them in the wild would put them in danger.
The greatest Wildlife Warrior to ever live. Steve Irwin was accused of breaking wildlife laws while filming in the Antarctic in Promotional material for his documentary Ice Breaker claimed he "slides down hillsides with penguins, almost rubs noses with the notoriously dangerous leopard seals and spends the most inspiring time with two friendly humpback whales".
He was cleared of breaching the rules after an investigation.
