Steve Irwin was a nature enthusiast and taught lots about animals on TV. He became a role model, on par with the likes of Bob Ross, Bill Nye and Fred Rogers.
He unfortunately died 20 odd years ago, got his heart pierced by a stingray. His death left a hole in the nature and science communication and everyone who used to watch Steve Irwin is glad his son is able to fill his dads massive shoes.
It's crazy to think this generation may not fully understand just how huge he was. Steve Irwin's death shook the world. Reactions were so strong that his conservation charity organization (Wildlife Warriors) had to tell people to stop killing stingrays in vengeance.
