I still haven’t forgiven the stingray.

I know that Steve would say it wasn’t the stingray’s fault, that he was the one intruding and it was just defending itself, as stingrays do.

But I’m not nearly as good a human as Steve.

And Steve probably wouldn't blame you for that either. He'd just try to soften your heart by being his usual, earnestly enthusiastic self.

Damn, this thread (and replying to your comment in particular) just hit me with an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. I'm so glad that I got to grow up at the time when I did, because now I have the privilege of grieving for Steve Irwin. Steve will always be a part of my fond childhood memories.

So one thing, if you haven’t seen, his son Robert is more or less following in his footsteps. his photography is insanely good.
