Bloody hell the poor bloke. Theyd just had a kid the other year, I remember that incident well.

He will be missed, he was very popular, at least he died doing his loved job.

no way, thats gutted me.

just read about it myself.

Man..

Ive just shown Leila and Krystal, theyre gutted, they loved his shows, especially the, Crcodile Hunters and his Australia Zoo programs.

Crikey

How untimely and undeserved

Absolutely tragic. I always found myself drawn to the man for his boundless enthusiasm for the subject, and I loved his TV shows. The man educated millions of people across the globe and opened their eyes to conservation issues regarding species that most people consider "nasty" and wouldnt normally give a second glance to.

Im as gutted as everyone else, I really liked the bloke and supported him through the croc+daughter incident. His death is definitely untimely but he did take a lot of calculated risks in his work and was injured several times, eventually the odds are going to get you.

Im really sad for his kids, family and friends though and I do hope they continue the vital work they have been doing.

Bloody Hell :/ :?

decent lad and cared about animals and the planet...

but the way he did things was always going to mean he had the life expectancy of a suicide bomber with bubonic plague, he had his legs slapped a few times for doing controversial stunts and the like...

sad day though

Thats a good thing, his wife Terry is just as mad and committed, they will improve things in his memory.

Very sad news... He was the only reason I used to watch animal planet, learnt alot from him.

Feel bad for his wife and children

R.I.P. - will miss the Croc Hunter

Its really odd, He does stuff that has a lot of danger and risk but he was forever going on about safty and training and doing things right, the show on the weekend was about training new people to handly crocs in the right way.
Only One other person Ever around the coast of Oz has known to die from the sting of one of them so was very much a million to one shot rather then his risks being the bettter of him.
