Steve Irwin killed

I saw the sad news of Steve Irwin’s accidental death while researching for another news. I liked him a lot but I think he most of the times went too close to the animals, needlessly startling them. He’d randomly pick up reptiles and insects without ever bothering to respect their space. The problem was, even the others tried to follow him on various wildlife and nature channels.

Nonetheless, he was among the very few people who continually espouse the cause of animals. The animal world has lost a great friend. This is the marine animal he went too close too. The animal is not fatal. It was just that Steve was in the wrong position at the wrong time and the barb went straight through his heart. Only 3 people in Australia’s recorded history have died of the stingray’s attacks so far, included Steve Irwin. This is so ironical. He wrestled with crocodiles and anacondas and even cobras, but was killed by marginally dangerous fish.

But it’s very difficult to be agile in the water. It’s a totally different territory. On land it’s easier to dodge attacks.
