Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin...

Apparently, the videotape of Steve Irwin's last moments shows him pulling from his chest the poisonous stingray barb that killed him.

That's got to be a pretty horrific video.

That is so badass.

It shows him swimming over the ray,the ray's barb comes up,and Steve pulling it out.

I heard this morning that on Fathers Day, which was on Sunday, his kids managed to call him and sday hello, but when Terri called later, she couldn't get through to him, as there was a problem with the phone line. Poor Terri never got to say 'I love you' that final time. 🙁

How sad it happened the day after Father's Day....what bad luck. Its bad enough for the kids to go through Father's Day without him, but then having his death only the day after has got to be pretty hard 😬

They said there was no blood or anything, he just pulls it out then the camera cuts off so we wouldnt be seeing him actually die.

took long enough x-x

Why do I get the feeling that, as great as the was, he may've taunted the animal?

I mean, that's all he ever did in his shows really, right. Aggravate or taunt animals so you can see their sort of wild side. Nothing personal, mate.

They had a tribute show on tonight with him swimming with stingrays, he wasnt taunting them then, it was the same as any other video of divers swimming with underwater wildlife, I dont see why he would go ahead and taunt one for no reason....theres a difference between playing with land animals and playing with water animals..

He was just casually swimming,when the ray felt threatened and shot the barb up.

I thought his repeated attempts to calm the animal down and keep it safe and injury-free upon handling it was enough to realise he wasn't out there trying to pick a fight.

Besides, you can't say to a snake *Whistle* "Here, boy!".

Clearly a man out to torment animals.

ha, his whole career was wrestling crocodiles

NO IT WASN'T!!!! His career was being an animal conservationist! To rescue,help and relocate animals. And to show that animals should NOT be considered dangerous.
That if an animal attacks, YOU did something wrong,whether you know it or not.The animal didn't do anything wrong.
Just because a stingray killed him doesn't mean we should think they're dangerous,Steve wouldn't of wanted that.....Oh no,I'm starting to sound like Steve....YEA!! No I can help spread his message!

Yeah, crocodiles are perfectly harmless. 🙄

They ARE unless you tresspass on their territory. If you don't bother them,they won't bother you.That's the way it goes.

🤨......he loved animals a bit too much.

He even called a crocodile "the most beautiful creature in the world."

'Me fighting for the right of animals. The blue one'

R.I.P STEVE! I'LL CARRY OUT YOUR MESSAGE!!!!!

I admire the fact that if he did ever get hurt, he admitted it was his fault for invading their territory, but he never meant to bother them.

Unlike the story here; Where a girl climbed in a bear cage, got killed and they killed the bear.
