This truly is sad news, Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin died today in an accident at sea, at the age of 44, while filming a documentary on stingrays. Known mainly for his antics on his television show The Crocodile Hunter, he leaves behind a wife, 2 children, the Australia Zoo operations, and 2 animal welfare foundations. Although I was not a fan of his show, I appreciated his efforts for wildlife management and preservation. The Australia Zoo suffered a much less tragic loss when one of the Galapagos tortoises present at Charles Darwin's expedition to the islands died earlier this summer.
