Today I went to look at my email and found this instead.

And it made me sad. Because I think Steve Irwin was important not just as an educational figure, but in his efforts at conserving some of the least-liked animals; predators.

I loved the Crocodile Hunter both for his enthusiasm and his education work and his bravery.

I tried to go to the crocodile hunter website and timed out numerous times. I guess I'm not the only one feeling his loss.
