“If they’re biting you, you know you’ve got ’em”

This is one of countless colourful quotes from Steve Irwin, a nearly unparalleled ambassador for wildlife known across the globe simply as The Crocodile Hunter. A title it’s hard to argue Irwin didn’t earn and then some, with footage of the man himself manhandling crocodiles the length of cars abounding.

But here’s the thing, when the thing you’re known for is wrestling a thousand pounds of teeth and scales into submission with a smile and khaki shorts, people tend to want to know more about that than the specifics of your life and how you got there for some reason. But just how did adorable Baby Steve Irwin go from a typical human to one who spent his days diving from perfectly safe boats into croc infested waters? Well, I’m glad you asked, because today we’re going to be covering the heartwarming story of the Life and Legend of Steve Irwin.
