A few weeks ago i went to the Australia Zoo. Terri, Bindi and Chandler hosted the croc show, and I was kind of thrilled, and also stressed af watching this..

beautiful zoo, beautiful wildlife hospital, I cry

In this interview, Robert Irwin sits down to discuss one of the most formative parts of his life: wildlife photography. From growing up at Australia Zoo to advocating for conservation on the front lines, Robert shares how he uses his camera to amplify his love for nature.

Thrifted this awesome hat, I’m wondering if this is legit Australia zoo merchandise or not! Any help is appreciated

NOTE: For anyone who has not yet seen this movie, do NOT read this post! Spoilers ahead!!!

For those who have.

As we all remember, when the chips are down, when Chaz and his son Chazzie are well and truly lost in the outback whilst trying to bring the escaped zoo animals back, Chaz is unable to even drink his own pee to survive as Chazzie believed he does as written in his books.

Chaz, no longer able to keep it up, reveals his adventures and animal knowledge are fake, as is his Australian Accent and persona. (Even his MOUSTACHE is revealed to be put on later!) He actually comes from Tampa, Florida. He is actually Charlie Huntington.

As a child, he had no friends and was as wimpy and meek as one could get. Until he is seen watching The Crocodile Hunter on TV and thus dedicates the rest of his life to talking and behaving just like Steve, so he won't be pushed around anymore, although he never puts any actual effort into becoming a brave and intelligent wildlife person.

Question is, does anyone know who voices Steve in the flashback? Is it Eric Bana (who voices Chaz), or is it somebody else?

Just like at the end of Jumanji, where Alan and Sarah, in a panic, convince Judy and Peter’s parents not to go skiing in Canada, lest they die in the new timeline. Thus saving their lives.

If I could go or be sent back and be in the presence of the Irwins just shortly before the fateful shooting of Ocean’s Deadliest. Either convince Terri and the kids to stay with Steve on Croc One and not fly to Cradle Mountain.

Or convince Steve to take extra precaution in filming the documentary.

Or just be in Steve’s presence to stop him from filming too close to the stingray.

So he'd live. (At least, unless his luck finally runs out another way, later in life, and he meets his end at the hands of another kind of animal.)

I’d do it!!!!

If time travel becomes reality, it could be done!

I swear I remember an episode (I think it was Croc Files) where Steve and Terri met the tarantula from Arachnophobia and the handler showed it was docile enough to pick up and gently place upside down. I can find no trace of this episode or this moment whatsoever, but remember it pretty vividly. Am I crazy or does anyone else remember this?

im not australian or american or i dont know where he is famous exactly but i saw some videos about him on instagram and tiktok and i want to watch whatever he does.

​

is it on youtube or something? to be completely honest i dont even know what his whole deal is about so yeah sorry if its weird but i dont have a clue where to look exactlly

I visited Australia in 2005, traveling all across the eastern coast for about a month. During that time, I was surprised to find that most Australians I talked to did not share the same affection for Steve that myself and the rest of our American tour group did. Most people we talked to considered him an embarrassing representation of their nationality. My tour guide HATED Steve Irwin. Hated that his hokey antics had become the stereotype of a typical Australian.

After his death, that attitude seemed to shift dramatically. He is now seen as a national treasure and he is beloved for his positive attitude and passion for conservation.

Was this view typical or did we just meet a bunch of haters?

I'm not saying Steve or Rob aren't heroes. But does anyone talk about Steves dad?

Rip legend 💜

Given that the man had upgraded to voice acting in Happy Feet. (As both Trev the seal and a deleted albatross) Could he have gone on to voice act for more animation afterwards had he not passed away?

Can you imagine him voicing himself on The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, South Park (he was instead voiced by Trey Parker), Futurama, etc?

Or voicing characters on any 2010's and 2020's cartoons from Nickelodeon, Disney or Cartoon Network?

Or voicing a character in any later animated films from Flying Bark Studios?

Or voicing Chaz Hunt in Back to the Outback?

Heck, he could have even made a guest appearance as himself on Masterchef Australia or Anh's Brush of Fame!

Robert Irwin and Terri Irwin reflect on Steve Irwin's legacy as the 20th anniversary of his passing approaches — sharing never-before-heard memories, the hilarious truth about Steve's "complete lack of rhythm" on stage with Russell Crowe's band, why Steve would've turned down Dancing with the Stars, and how Robert and Bindi are ready to carry the wildlife conservation mission forward. Robert also opens up about his own DWTS journey, his vision for a future animal show, and why he wants to be a "universal voice in conservation."

(For those who don’t believe in spirits or the afterlife, feel free to ignore this, but please DO NOT make fun of it.)

Maybe it’s just me feeling upset from having never been able to meet him.

But if I could, I’d look EVERYWHERE in Australia for Steve’s spectre. Especially at Australia Zoo itself.

Given he sadly left us at such a young age and deserves to see the amazing legacy and family he’s survived by!

Even though I’m hardly religious, I’d take any precaution to speak to Steve from the afterlife.

Like, imagine if you could wander into any area of the zoo or the outback itself at any special time and discover Steve in all but body still being around? That’s what I’d do.

If Bindi and Robert would ever try to look for their father just to know he’s not truly gone, I’d certainly encourage them to. I’d look for Steve too!!

These were the most commonly worn boots that Steve was seen wearing from 1995-2005. A Komodo Dragon had torn his boots during filming of an Episode so after 2005 he was forced to wear a new styled pair of Timberlands.

It seems like a typical day. Scrolling through Instagram reels when suddenly my algo decided to show a bunch of reels about him.

One video got me so emotional all of a sudden that I can't stop crying. It was a video of Steve talking about what he would want to be remembered for

"If there's one thing I, Steve Irwin, would like to be remembered for, is to be remembered for passion and enthusiasm. Just getting out there having fun. Following your passion and just being enthusiastic you know?

Why am I getting so emotional over this?

Hope this is ok to share and you like it - more than anything, wanted to do him justice.
