That’s one major criticism of Steve Irwin, he used to wrestle and get in the face of dangerous animals.
I’m not actually sure of how it happened but I wouldn’t be surprised if he was messing around with it.
All this being said, I do believe he was a genuine, caring, lovely guy who was obsessed with conservation. Him dying was a real loss
Despite Steve’s deserved reputation, from what I’ve read this time was truly just bad timing/accident.
Steve probably was too close though.
Yeah I believe that
From what I recall, he was trying to film an interaction with another animal (maybe a shark), completely missing the stingray below him, which I believe was camouflaged. It came out of nowhere.
Not many people think about this: gematrinator.com/…/the-crocodile-hunter-steve-irw…
Yes, this man was whack’d by the numbers.
Not many people think about this
Rightfully so.
What is that website? Its like a tarot card learned arithmetic
This is a gematria and numerology blog by Derrick Tikkuri, who’s a numerologist.
Wow. Did someone forget their meds?
Nope. Someone did their research, even using methods the Jesuit Order don’t want us to know (numerology being one of them).
They weaponize this against everyone.
Based and ttrue
Many people should not understand how they’re being fooled, and turned into weapons.
It’d be ideal if we had a mass awakening like this.
There is a video that was never released of his death. The claim was that the sting ray hit his heart directly, which makes sense. Sting rays are very easy to agitate accidentally, sort of like a bee. He got really unlucky even if he were annoying an animal.
Hate the pointless narrative that he was bad for wildlife. Most American millennials love nature because of Steve. He is why we like the aussie accent in bluey imo.
Knowing his track record with poking wild animals…yes. It wouldn’t surprise me if he was pulling its tail to prevent it from escaping, and it had enough.
Huh? Steve loved and respected the hell out of all animals.
One of his most famous lines was, “Oh, crikey! Look at how mad he is!”, while poking an animal with a stick.
Wut? Lol Steve Irwin has had one of the greatest posthumous image rehabilitation in history. He may have never harmed anything, but he sure didn’t respect them either. He was pretty disliked by conservationists when he was still alive.

From the wiki article:
It is presumably the only known human death by stingray.

Why does stingrey look so much like stin-gray
