The Crocodile Hunter

Alexahnder's Amazing Animals

home

As the son of well-known naturalists, Bob and Lyn Irwin, Steve developed a love for animals from a very young age, helping to feed and care for the animals at the family's Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park. Steve's dad taught Steve everything there was to know about reptiles - even teaching his nine year old how to jump in and catch crocodiles in the rivers of North Queensland at night! This father and son's proud boast is that every crocodile in their park (now numbering 100 animals) was either caught by their bare hands or bred and raised in their Park.

Steve is now the director of Australia Zoo in Queensland, Australia, and as the host of the series “THE CROCODILE HUNTER.”

As he grew older Steve followed in his father's footsteps and volunteered to help the Queensland Governments rouge crocodile relocation program which saw him spend years living on his own in the mosquito infested creeks rivers and mangroves of north Queensland catching huge troublesome crocodiles single-handed. His record of successful catches is still staggering to this day.

Since 1991, Australia Zoo has flourished and expanded under Steve's guidance. The Crocodile Hunter Series started in 1992 after a chance encounter with his friend, a television producer who was filming at the Park for TV. And they decided to film the first episode. "The Crocodile Hunter" was produced in 1992. The tremendous success of this one program quickly encouraged the making of more and so over the next 3 years, 10 hour long episodes were made. Steve has now filmed 50 episodes of "Crocodile Hunter", 52 episodes of "Croc Files", and his next project is an animated series.

Steve has the greatest respect and understanding for all animals - and he's proud to share his passion with everyone who visits his Zoo and with his five hundred million viewers worldwide.
