Steve Irwin got his first snake for his birthday when he was just 6 years old! I don't like snakes at all, can't even touch them, and I am 9 years older than that! When Steve was 9, he caught his first crocodile. True story. In April of 1973 Steve and his family opened a reptile and fauna park in Queensland, Australia. And in 1991, his family gave Steve complete ownership. That was when he met Terri, and they got married eight months later.

Not much later, Steve began making Crocodile Hunter documentaries, and has already made 10 one-hour documentaries, 50 episodes of "Crocodile Hunter", and 52 episodes of "Croc Files". He also just made his first moive, Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course, which debuted the summer of 2002. I have the DVD, thank you very much!

And we can't forget Bindi Sue Irwin, Terri and Steve's little girl, born in 1998.
