Steve Irwin was born in 1962 to parents Lyn and Bob Irwin, who were animal naturalists. He shared the love for animals all his life, stemming from being raised at the Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park. There, he partook in daily duties of animal feeding and care. He quickly established himself with the Queenland's government on the process of the country's Crocodile Relocation Program, in which the reptiles could be transferred and relocated to proper localties in the most absolute humane, non-tranquilizing manner. He frequently implements the non-tranquilizing factor in his televison show The Crocodile Hunter's Croc Files. Steve married fellow naturalist, Terri Irwin (Baines) in 1992. She joined him in his adventures and efforts in almost every episode of his show. They had one daughter, Bindi Sue Irwin, who was born July 24, 1998. He died in September 2006 following an attack by a stingray, off the Great Barrier Reef.

Daughter, Bindi Sue Irwin, born 24 July, 1998 at 9:46 PM, weighing 6lb 3oz. Was scared to death of parrots, especially the sulfar crested cockatoo. When he was four years old, he almost had his nose bitten off by his father's pet sulfar crest. The only bird he felt comfortable around is a black cockatoo named Ularoo. Steve and Terri's daughter, Bindi Sue Irwin, is actually named for Steve's favorite crocodile, Bindi and his dog, Sui, who has, incidentally, appeared in numerous The Crocodile Hunter episodes with Steve and Terri. Had a species of turtle named after him - Elseya Irwini. His dog, Sui, is a Staffordshire Bullterrier cross Second child, Robert Clarence "Bob" Irwin born on the 1st of December, 2003 at 8:00 a.m., weighing 7 pounds and 4 ounces. Almost faced charges of child endangerment in early January 2004 for doing a crocodile demonstration while holding his one-month-old son Bob in one arm and feeding a 13-foot crocodile with the other. Steve and Terri claimed that their son was in no danger and that both their children were going to be "croc savvy". Despite all his close calls with animals, he had only had muscle surgery on his knee as a result before a stingray attack claimed his life. He told his camera crew to always be filming and that if he needed help, he would ask for it. Second child Robert Clarence is named after Steve's father Robert, and Terri's father, Clarence. Stopped personally greeting zoo visitors when he witnessed a little girl getting knocked down and seriously injured by a fan rushing to meet him. Owned a red and white motorbike which he rode around Australia Zoo. This was one of the main ways to determine whether he was at the Zoo or not. Over 360 million people tuned in to watch the Steve Irwin Memorial Service on Animal Planet on September 19, 2006. Two sisters, Mandy and Joy. Has had a road named in his honor: Steve Irwin Bay in Beerwah, Queensland on Australia's Sunshine Coast.
