Crocodile Hunter died ?!? *single perfect tear*

[JackoliciousLegs]

i watched the Larry King interview where they talked to the cameraman and his producer....it was pretty hard to watch. it's kind of shameful to admit it but i can't remember being so saddened by a celebrity or leader's death.

sadly, I kinda feel the same way.

Agreed. He was a great guy and the more I learned about him, mostly after his death, the more I was saddened by the news. Not only did he open the world's eyes to the nature of misunderstood animals, but he apparently did a lot of very important actual conservation work for the AU government. He helped push environmental reform in government and didn't just sit on his ass next to scary snakes to make a buck doing what he loved. He was really passionate about what he did and everyone can agree that he worked for a good cause.

I'll always laugh at his funny accent if I see him on TV, and point out that it's stupid to sit that close to a croc, but man, I respect that guy. Hopefully, like everyone said, the family moves on respecting the life that he led and the animals that he revered so much.

There have only been, IIRC, 17 deaths by stingray in Australia since 1965.

LOL... you mean, IIGC? If I Googled Correctly? HAHAHA...
