The Crocodile Hunter Dies in Freak Accident

Yes my friends, one of Australia's (and probably the world's) most enthusiastic environmentalists, died. Steve Irwing "The Crocodile Hunter" died doing what he loved to do, and that was animals and nature.

The circumstances of his death are very particular and wierd, and rare, but also very true. A crocodile wasn't Irwing's demise, no, it was one the seafloor's most passive animals, a stingray. A stingray? Yes. Stingrays are not deadly. Yes they have a sting that can grow up to eight to ten inches, but, they have to be frightened to use them, and it's usually not a death strike. But, when this stingray caught Irwing on the chest it punctured his heart, and it was over.

Rest in Peace.
