Steve "The Crocodile Hunter" Irwin (1962-2006)
If I were asked who was my idea of a man's man was, it would be Steve "The Crocodile Hunter" Irwin.
He was invincible. He shouts "Crickey!" with an alligator pinned under his chin or a tarantula on his hair. He swims in front of perenties (bayawaks) and handles poisonous snakes as if it were a harmless parrot.
He's funny without trying, and wears his trademark khaki shorts and boots everywhere, even during a dinner with George W. Bush. He made Sir David Attenborough's job of being a conservationist cool, and crocodiles cuddly.
He died yesterday, stabbed by a stingray right in the heart while filming a series aptly titled "Ocean's Deadliest". The news broke the hearts of a million kids who watch him everyday at the Animal Planet, including mine.
He must be giving demonstrations now on how to grab a devil by the tail up there in Heaven's Zoo.
Crocs Rule!
