Default RIP Steve Irwin :(

I just heard that Steve Irwin has died by a sting ray barb in the heart.. gutted. He was a great bloke who made people more aware of the truth about reptiles; he got rid of the myths and did so much work to help herps of all sorts.

It's a tragedy

Just heard it on the radio. Pretty sad really - he gave lots of kids an interest in reptiles and knew his stuff. Maybe he should have stuck to the reptiles
