Born in Melbourne, Australia, on February 22, 1962, he was raised on the wildlife park his parents owned. He cared for the animals and especially loved reptiles--he got a python for his sixth birthday  At nine years old, Steve was already helping his father wrestle small crocodiles. He became a crocodile trapper after graduating high school, catching the creatures before dangerous poachers could. Steve met his wife, Terri, at his family's park, and instead of a honeymoon, the pair filmed a wildlife documentary that led to the creation of the well-known series \u003ci\u003eThe Crocodile Hunter\u003c\/i\u003e. Tragically, Steve was killed on September 4, 2006 while filming a documentary when a stingray attacked, piercing his heart. He was forty-four years old. However, his life's work obviously still strikes a chord with kids who voted him the winner of the 100th Who Was...? title.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dina Anastasio, Who Hq\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0448488388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780448488387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Workshop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 5.30w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e174414 \/ Who Was Steve Irwin?\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dina Anastasio","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44053619179775,"sku":"9780448488387","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_327292c8-3f08-4669-a688-184ef384a172.jpg?v=1685025308","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/who-was-steve-irwin-dina-anastasio-9780448488387","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
