The park was a family business, with Lyn and Bob turning it over in 1991 to
Steve. He took over the running of the park, now renamed the quot;Australia Zooquot;,
and in 1992 met (at the park) and married Terri. The footage, shot by John
Stainton, of their crocodile-trapping honeymoon became the first episode of The
Crocodile Hunter, which became wildly successful in America and the UK. His
exuberant and enthusiastic presenting style, broad Australian accent, constant
wearing of khakis and catch-phrase quot;Crikey!quot; became known worldwide: The
Crocodile Hunter aired in over 122 countries worldwide.
Under Irwin's expansive leadership, the operations grew to include the zoo, the
television series, The Steve Irwin Conservation Foundation, and International
Crocodile Rescue. Improvements to his Australia Zoo include the Animal Planet
Crocoseum, the rainforest aviary, and Tiger Temple.

knowledge and care for animals even though he died.
I think Steve Irwin is inspiring because he cares for the animals like

for liking crocodiles or not.
He inspires everyone to not be mean to animals and treats animals how
they should be treated.
He also teach’s the staff how to look after the animals and love them.
