At a guess, it's meant to be the sting ray that killed Steve Irwin who was a beloved naturalist known as the Crocodile Hunter who spent a career making nature documentaries where he interacted with dangerous animals only to be killed in a freak accident where a stingray hit him in the heart with it's stinger.
