Steve Irwin Dies

Steve Irwin the famous Australian conservationist has died. Despite his daredevil antics in getting up close and personal with wildlife, Steve Irwin brought a very serious message to the world - that animals are beautiful, wonderful creatures and deserve to be protected.

He was critized once for holding his baby son in one arm while he played with a crocodile with the other arm. But that's just the way Steve is. To him all the animals were his babies too and he never saw them as dangerous.

Steve is right. Man is the most dangerous being on this planet. He destroys everything he comes in contact with. Without animals this world will be an ugly place.

Steve Irwin's documentaries had an audience of 200 million people around the world and he became a virtual global industry generating books and interactive games. He proclaimed the message of conservation in a way that the world listened and did something for the animals and nature.

RSC is sorry for his loss.
