Born in Melbourne, Australia, on February 22, 1962, he was raised on the wildlife park his parents owned. He cared for the animals and especially loved reptiles--he got a python for his sixth birthday! At nine years old, Steve was already helping his father wrestle small crocodiles. He became a crocodile trapper after graduating high school, catching the creatures before dangerous poachers could. Steve met his wife, Terri, at his family's park, and instead of a honeymoon, the pair filmed a wildlife documentary that led to the creation of the well-known series \u003ci\u003eThe Crocodile Hunter\u003c\/i\u003e. Tragically, Steve was killed on September 4, 2006 while filming a documentary when a stingray attacked, piercing his heart. He was forty-four years old. However, his life's work obviously still strikes a chord with kids who voted him the winner of the 100th Who Was...? title.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dina Anastasio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Penguin Workshop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/19\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.4\" H x 5.3\" L x 0.4\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780448488387\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uncle Jon's Book Factory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47012690362522,"sku":"9780448488387","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/3015\/4138\/files\/9780448488387.jpg?v=1774813647","url":"https:\/\/unclejonsbookfactory.com\/products\/who-was-steve-irwin-dina-anastasio-paperback","provider":"Uncle Jon's Book Factory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
