Steve IrwinWhy is he inspiring?

His whole family does especially, Bindi.

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 "Australia Zoo", 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 "Crikey!" 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.

Steve irwin is inspiring because he has taught people how to love animals like crocodiles and things like that he also has been very famous

on t.v and his films have changed some peoples lives a lot.

He is also very inspiring because he is a very nice man to every one, and he works at Australia zoo! He will as always have the best animal

knowledge and care for animals even though he died.

I think Steve Irwin is inspiring because he cares for the animals like crocodiles and other things like that he also changes peoples opinions

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.
