The first crocodile I ever caught was at nine years of age, and it was a rescue. – Steve Irwin
Theres a lot of research behind the scenes that you dont get to see, but I have an instinct that my dad nurtured from when I was born. I was very lucky then. – Steve Irwin
Since I was a boy, from this house, I was out rescuing crocodiles and snakes. My mum and dad were very passionate about that and, I was lucky enough to go along. – Steve Irwin
That might have a lot to do with it, but you know, I probably dont show fear, but I suffer from fear like everyone else. – Steve Irwin

If only Darwin could conscientiously have traced man back to the Elephant or the Lion or the Antelope, how much ridicule and prejudice would have been spared to the doctrine of Evolution. – Havelock Ellis
