- When I heard the news of Steve Irwin’s death I, like millions around the world, was profoundly shocked and saddened. He was one of the world’s “good guys”, someone who gave more back to our planet than he took out, he gave us all hope that many endangered animals stood a chance while he was around. Someone I admired greatly. Although known as the Crocodile Hunter it was his film about “The 10 Deadliest Snakes in the World” that made me sit up and take notice. Armed with his trademark khaki shorts and a ridiculously short twig (in my opinion) he showed us his fascination and admiration for these misunderstood reptiles. I would have needed a suit of armour and a 30ft pole to follow in his footsteps. His armour, of course, was his deep knowledge and experience of his subject. I felt, like all those other people who have left messages of condolence on the internet and elsewhere, the need to pay tribute to Steve Irwin’s life and for me my work is where I can express myself the best. I was concerned that my humour might not be to everyone’s taste or, worse still, that my tribute might be seen as cashing in on a tragic event but I hope that it is taken as it was meant - recognition of my respect for his achievements. I chose animals mourning his loss because in some ways their survival depends on people like Steve Irwin so I imagined, in my anthropomorphic way, that they would miss him too. For the people like me who wished they knew Steve Irwin, September 4th was a dreadful day. I can’t imagine what it must have been like for those who did know him. Peter Calvesbert.
