How do you feel?
SYDNEY (AFP) - Iconic Aussie wildlife daredevil Steve Irwin has died as he loved living: seeking out the world's most dangerous and exotic creatures in their own domain.

But, in a strange twist, it was one of the less dangerous creatures that he has confronted that ultimately claimed his life.

The ebullient environmentalist, one of Australia's best known exports, was killed when he was lashed in the chest by a stingray's poison barb while filming underwater on the Great Barrier Reef on Monday.

"We have probably lost one of the most passionate wildlife people on this earth," said Irwin's producer John Stainton, who was filming with Irwin when his heart was pierced by the stingray's venomous tail.

Irwin's overflowing passion for animals, reptiles, fish and other creatures -- however deadly they might have been -- was a lifelong affair that made him a household name across the world.

Answer 1

i will never forget the image of steve irwin talking to the camera while sharks were in a feeding frenzy all around him while he stood in the water...the guy was a crazy kook but he was fascinating, funny and very entertaining...i kind of felt one day his luck would run out the way he took risks dealing with wildlife but i would never have guessed it would take a stingray to be the culprit....my condolences to his friends and family....he was one of a kind and his legacy will continue as his shows run on animal planet

Answer 2

Shocked,I wish it was not true and it has not sunk in yet,just 2 weeks ago I helped shift a 300kg giant tortoise of Steves back into its closure here in Ballarat victoria(it was sent on a breeding program of some sort)and I "boasted" to my wife and family that I had done this,I also met staff from Australian zoo who where in Ballarat that admired the man and spoke highly of him!

I hope his family know they will always have the publics support.

Its a sad day for Australia.
