Steve Irwin's Quotes

• If something ever happens to me, people are gonna say 'we knew a croc would get him!'
• Crikey, mate. You're far safer dealing with crocodiles and western diamondback rattlesnakes than the executives and the producers and all those sharks in the big MGM building.
• I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it.
• Crocodiles. I've been catching them since I was nine. No problem.
• I am a wildlife warrior, and I will fight, fight to the death for wildlife.
