The Australian maniac that knows no fear and is willing to put his life on the line so I can laugh at him cheating death.
What a top, top bloke.
There are loads of these wannabe mentalists now, but Irwin was the greatest and still is.
Doesn't matter if it's an alligator, rampaging hippo, lions, he'll walk right up and poke at it with a short pointy stick.
Fantastic tv.
I've seen him get chased by a Kimodo Dragon, climb a tree and have to kick this monster in the face repeatedly to make it go away.
He's been waist-deep in water tugging at a baby-alligator whilst saying "Hear that noise! That's the sound of an angry mother coming to defend her baby", whilst you can see the cameracrew backing off and I'm sitting there in stitches because Steve Irwin is the bravest/stupidest man to ever walk this planet.
Not just him though, he has a wife that is equally missing the "run away! Danger Will Robinson, Danger!" gene.
They both stood in a river, at night netting alligators.
Maniacs.
Absolutely, 100% deranged, no-fear lunatics.
And all I have to do is turn on and watch them risk their lives to so I can learn what a furious and charging Elephant looks like.
Brilliant.

I saw him get spat at by a cobra and he had to go and wash it off in a river. Thing is, the river was so dirty he'd probably have been better off with the venom! :-)
He's an amazing man, he'll be making an appearance in Log in The Creek.
Doesn't matter how stupidly dangerous, he'll pick it up, flick it's nads, go swimming with it, crawl into it's den.
Always with a big grin and that cream safari outfit. I've seen him go diving wearing that gear.
Best bits I've watched?
The Kimodo Dragon chasing him, at full speed run up a tree whilst the camera-crew ran away.
Hippo charging him, he stood in the water-hole saying "Boy he looks ticked off!"
Scorpions crawling over his arms and him saying "Just one sting from one of these little devils is fatal!" again with that big idiot grin.
Make this man Prime Minister of Australia..no, the world.
Imagine Aliens coming to visit.
He'd bound up to them, whack them in the goolies with a pole and try to get them to chase him up a tree.
The show is called "Crocodile Hunter", but it should be called "Insane Aussie Bloke that makes a point of aggravating dangerous animals so they chase him and try to kill him"
Every single episode he flirts with death, and always with a big grin and "This is so cool!", whilst his wife battles equally ferocious animals next to him.
So Darwins theory of adapt or dies goes that this little Beastie the I I uses its extra long bony finger as a deadly hunting instrument/divining rod. It finds a tree, clings to the trunk and with its long, bloody great finger taps on the bark. If it finds a worm the vibrations in its bony finger picks it up, it then closes its eyes to hear properly, puts its big ear up against the trunk and starts tappping again. Once its confirmed that a worm is there its huge buck teeth come into action as it rips through the bark. It then sticks its bony great finger through to fish the little worm out, scoop it into its mouth and munch on dinner with its big buck teeth. I'd like to see Steve Irwin confront this deadly cuddly toy with bug teeth, big ears anda bony finger. Freaked me out for days.
