R.I.P. Steve Irwin

Steve Irwin, better known as the Crocodile Hunter, has died.

Not surprisingly, it happened while filming a documentary about animals. Apparently, a sting rays barb punctured his chest.

As ridiculous as he sometimes acted in his "character" as the Croc Hunter, his excitement for wildlife always came through as he did what he could to bring the terrible situation that many endangered species face to our living rooms. Him, and people like him, constantly champion the race to save thousands of species of plants and animals throughout the globe. That is something to be admired.

Steve Irwin, Dead at 44, RIP.
